Saburo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @Sanity is Optional Thanks for posting pics, I haven't gotten to opening the Wing Zero yet. That Gipsy Danger looks badass, the Tanker/bat is an awesome accessory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to take a second crack at the Wing Zero, probably going to leave it in bird mode, since that's a different stand adapter, which looks much more solid. I am not regretting the Gipsy Danger at all, I'm amazed the thing's not sold out. Edited February 27, 2018 by Sanity is Optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Epic hauls everyone! Got these last week. I finally caved in for Messer's and Max's Hi-Metal R Valks. Got it both on sale at Jungle. I know I told myself I'm never gonna buy Metal Build Freedoms. But here I am getting a KO SF since the original is so expensive. So I'm regretting for not getting both Freedoms from @recon last year. And this Freedom came from @seanami. And to be honest, they should've KO the Freedom as well since majority of KO MB's has tight joints compared to the original.

Saburo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @no3Ljm I told myself the same thing about the Freedom Gundams as well, but I'd like to know what you think of the Strike Freedom KO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Saburo. Here's what I posted on the Third Party Gundam thread: Quote The joints are tight. QC is not that great IMHO since there's some small gaps on some parts like e.g. Rail Guns and the Wing connectors. I tried to squeeze them but it won't close that much. I'm assuming uneven plastic on pegs and whatnot. The Dragoons is not flushed properly on the wing railings so there's some visible gaps. It's not perfect but it beats Bandai pricing so I'm all good. Also, I'm adding that the things I mentioned above is not noticeable when you're far away from the figure. But once you hold the figure in-hand and inspect it, that's the only time you'll see those. In the end, I'm happy with my purchase. Looks ok overall. And the reason why it's 'ok' for me is that up to now I still don't get the over-stylized of these Freedoms esp in this format so it's still a mind-boggling for me why I bought them. Hehehe.

Froy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Max has arrived! It might be last valk ever. This hobby has become very very expensive! and ran out of kidneys already too! My hopes are on that Bandai's 1/35 VF-1J. If that happens it will be a "must have" for me. Edited February 27, 2018 by Froy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anubis20 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 My Wing Zero arrived along with Mezco Knightmare Batman. Batman is going to sell, they seem to sell for a lot and i would rather get SOC Gipsy Danger with that $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I also bought mine from NY. They have it for a pretty good price of 15,480 yen. It's cheaper at least by 2000 yen over most of the other popular places. Shipping charge was 2715 yen (as billed) to California. The current exchange rate is around 106 yen/$1US. Try to use a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees.

I don't mind too if it's only in 1/24 or 1/32 scale which is more manageable than 1/18. You know what, I forgot to include Porsche 956 to that list.

It just looks so badass, especially with with the way it glares at you (pupils FTW). A lot of the joints and engineering is very similar to the Riobot Mazinkaiser, so basically that means it's excellent and beats anything else out there. I can confirm that some of the red plastic does seem to be unpainted, but honestly it still looks very good and I don't mind it. I actually am glad since it gives me less worries about paint scratching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were a limited release (300 ea I think) at a Wonder Fest like 6 or 7 years ago iirc. GigaBrain never made any more in this line. It was to be a Microman sized line of figs based on 80's/90's anime properties. Never happened though which is a shame.. . A Kei and Yuri in this scale woulda been pretty cool. How about some Macross figures in this scale. Oooh? This Iczer 1 finally showed up on Mandrake after scanning Yahoo JP,Anime Export and Mandrake forever. They don't seem to come up often.
