Isn't that the Sentinels which was offered at TRU a few years back (or not)?

Just acquired this three hours ago after re-formatting my Detolf of selected TFs and used the credit for this. Thinking of getting another 1/6th figure later this year. :D

Those look like the Sentinel BAF from the Toybiz Marvel legends line. I used to have 3 before I sold them off.

Yeah they’re the Toybiz Marvel Legends BAF Sentinels.  They still display well next to both 6” or 3.75” Marvel figures.

Opened up Deadpool.  I can’t wait to get my Domino and X-23.  Also have a spare Marvel Legends Archangel that I’ll paint in Uncanny X-Force colors.

nice group shot.  I think you're missing the Exia repair and the OO Raiser to complete the family.^_^ 

Let's see... Exia, Exia R1, 00 Raiser, Exia R2, 00 Raiser GN Condenser Version, then 00 Quanta... then 00 Quanta ELS Version? And that's just the animated ones. Exia R3 and Avalanche, 00 SS/G, Quanta Full Saber, the Astraeas too... He'll never complete the family! :D

These 1/6 figs will be coming in waves for me throughout the year. Who can resist the Galactic Empire? :p

These figures in black the remind me of the current Marvel Comic title: Weapon X in where Wolvie (Old Man Logan), X-23, Warpath, Lady Deathstrike, Sabertooth and Domino team up and go against other members of the rebooted Weapon X project. I haven't had an opportunity to pick up the TPBs of the storyline (or read it online) yet; however from what I heard, it got very good reviews.

Note: What was Marvel Legends thinking while doing Psylocke? It's looks like that they didn't give much thought on her as the suit looks terrible when you first look at it. It doesn't look like a one piece cat suit/bathing suit for that matter.. :blink:

I actually have planned another 1/6th figure. Not the Galactic Empire per se, it's actually from a comic book series that was done by an Eisner winner. I'm in a conversation with a member from the One Sixth Warrior forums and she is a Macross fan as well. As the quote by Emgo's wife (Loriplan) on her YouTube channel goes: "Girls can be geeks too".  :lol:

The Uncanny X-Force comics and newest Weapon X series are good.  I would love a figure of that Lady Deathstrike or Hulk from Weapon X.  I don’t mind that Psylocke’s costume looks painted on.

Wooo nice pickup. I love the 1/48 VF-1A variants. I have to pull mine out of the box some day :)

Yeah, all the new 1/60 stuff (some, not so new) is cool and I like all those too but the 1/48 Yamato Valks are really simple and special, especially with all the variants they made. I will try to get one or two more and then I think my 1/48 collection will be complete.

I recieved my calibre wings jolly rogers f-14b 1/72 Scale Diecast Model today,  and also put my alter mave yukikaze on display. As you can see the mave is loaded to bear and I love how they added an extra stand for the fuel air bomb. Gives it a really dynamic pose. I have the super sylph too,  just need to get through the stupid cable ties alter use to secure the model in. They do not want you to get the model out in a hurry! :lol:

How do those Pac Rim Robot Dimashiis compare to an HMR?

They're definitely lower quality (paint apps / plastic) and no diecast but are bigger. For the price i think there're worth it specially Gipsy Avenger which is only 20 bucks.

@no3Ljm it sort of does. The wings can be folded either way. Right up for parked  or reversed for high speed mode. The canopy/cockpit can be reclined right back too. The super sylph just has hard points and a foldable sensor array. I have yet to "attempt" transforming that draken :ph34r:

Any chance the Yukikaze planes were designed by Kawamori? Sorry, I didn't check google first while typing this. ^_^ But it would be nice to see a similar design based on these birds that transforms into Gerwalk and Battroid. It would probably look awesome for sure. And for me as of now, there's no point on buying these Alter models as long that it's the same size or scale as my 1/60 or DX Valks. ^_^

@Chronocidal agreed, that bandai stand for the draken is God awful. Would much rather it take up less room and be articulated like the alter one.

@XigfridI thought that too. Left a hell of a mark lol 

I understand the concern for these stands since I don't like it too. But for sure those stands are designed to be practical and cost-effective that can hold a 2lbs +/- (that's an estimate) transforming Valk. Probably even if they follow the Alter stands, for sure it will still have a wider base and thicker plastics to hold the said Valks. Not to mention if it can be articulated since we need to screw those first. Anyways, if you really want a cool looking stand that's also articulated like Alter's, look no further. Just click the link for YetiStands. ;)

Looks like he didn't have anything to do with the Yukikaze series from a quick search I did. Maybe we could get the Shinden II he designed for Ace Combat into a Yukikaze crossover some how :p.

But I want those cool looking Yukikaze planes to be able to transform. And we need Kawamori's touch to it. Hehehe. :p

For the mecha/aircraft design team info it's here dude https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=902

A valk version would definitely be interesting! I would actually prefer them in 1/60 myself but the only alternative (no pun intended) is the model kits. Seeing as i am crap at painting the alter versions definitely were the overpriced answer.

I can't argue there, they definitely do their job of holding the valk well. Just a shame there is no pivot point like the old yamato stands. Yes! Will definitely be getting some yetistands, they look incredible and give you so many options for display.
