Diecast is limited to structural supports, hinges, and the thruster housings that extend from the wheel hubs. Thank so much for the reply , with the Yamato/Arcadia reference you just gave almost an exact idea of the heft of the figure , once again congrats for your purchase.

Those of us who don't like the look on their figure have opted to remove the silver paint lining the inside of the visor, to make the sculpted lines less conspicuous... and those who actively hate the look can simply paint over the outside of the visor, concealing them completely. Oh, and it's "Stig," not "Stick." Tatsunoko was big into using European names back then, and it's a common name in Scandinavia. Ignorance is no excuse, guys. LOL fair enough. But since they put "Stick" on the box, that's what I'm going with, if only because it's amusing to me. After all, weren't you the one who told me spelling consistency has no place in Japan?

Scyla Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Uh I wish Sentinel would do a Riobot Priss with Moto-Slave. Heck, I would be in for all of the Knight Sabers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well, it's not Sentinel, but Figma / Freeing are currently working on a new priss with motoslave. Hopefully we see a prototype next Wonderfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Got a Marvel Legends 3.75” Executioner and non derpy eyed Enchantress for clearance. If the 6” Thor and Valkyrie 2 pack is clearanced for really cheap then I might get that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Oh man I've love to have a new and improved Priss & Motoslave; yeah I'd buy all the Knight Sabers. I loved that show, as cheesy as it was. I had the old Yamato version, but it was tiny and kinda disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw 2040. DId watch Crash. It was just as cheesy but somehow substantially worse than the original. It was their Macross II, I suppose. 7 minutes ago, Shizuka the Cat said: There is a bubblegum crisis in the year 2040? Dental issues? Is chewing gum not affected?

You should give it a watch, 26eps long rather than 8 (+3 OVA) and actually completes a full story. Also it's about a decade newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
