Who says I don't want a 2nd VF-11B?  *grin*

VF-11B. Come to think of it, I don't have one. Hmmm. :ph34r:

Funny you should mention that.

I do have a YF-21 with fast packs on the way. Isamu needs his friend after all

Where did you end up getting the first release YF-21 from? 

I have two YF-21s, but both are the re-release version.  Was thinking of selling one of them to get the 1st release but still debating if it's even worth it since I've read that the FP for the YF-21 isn't all that great.

Thanks. So the face and chest plates are the only parts that has the Battle Damage effect compared to the first Mark 6. Thanks again, eXis10z. ;)

Unfortunately yes, which is why I seldom display battle damage parts. Too localized to look realistic.

 

You're welcome Noel!

YJA. I thought about getting the re-release, but I really wanted the fast packs to match my YF-19.

Kinda salty about this Figuarts Naruto I got yesterday. This is how Bandai shouldve released it to begin with instead of the previous Sage Mode Naruto we got. Now I ended up with 2 Naruto's and I guess I can display them doing a shadow clone rasengan :lol:

Sounds like a plus...but an expensive one. Bandai definitely does some annoying things. I'm pissed about the first Rocket Racoon release with pea shooters and now they have a TWE with a big gun.

What sucks is that i bought a custom robe for my original one thinking this version was nothing but vaporware. So yea it turned into an even more expensive plus :blink::lol:

Looks really good! Now you need to get another custom robe for the new one not to be outshined!:p

Actually, I was just convincing myself that I don't need to replace my old Mark 6 with the recent Diecast release. Same goes with my War Machine. :rolleyes:

Very nice display!

Did you add a reinforcing plate between the two detolfs to strengthen the display without the middle partitions?  I would like to set up 4-6 detolfs later and am thinking about taking out the sides as well to widen the range of display.  I suppose it's quite strong once you add the metal plate, and you don't have to worry about losing the support of the side glass panel?

Thanks!

I added reinforcement plates between the two detolfs. I prefer to keep the middle partitions to retain the use of the glass shelving. If you plan on lining up four detolfs you have to get a custom glass to go across without middle partitions because the side panels are a little flimsy, then again depends on the weight you put on it

@Kicker773: I was going to reply back, however you did reply in the middle of my write up and made it easier for me instead of write a book on it.

@rdrunner: There's the dual detolf mod in the TFW2005 threads that a member has done (and a super one as well).

For easy reference for the mods:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ikea-superdetolf-doubled-up-supercase.1151966/  (The Super Detolf mod)

http://www.tofunction.com/model/2011/02/detolf-dual-mod/ (This is actually a TFW2005 member that did this)

Even in this thread as well. :)

Edit: Can someone direct me to the 1/6th thread if it's there please.. I haven't got clue in where it is and I did search for it with no results.

Hahaha! Very nice @Kicker773. But I give up on Hot Toys now. I'm just collecting Iron Man figures from the Figuarts line. One Hot Toy Diecast figure can buy me 4-5 Figuarts. ;)

A FYI for you @Kicker773 (or if anyone that has a Hot Toys Hulkbuster MK.44)

https://onesixthsociety.com/hot-toys/dont-display-your-hot-toys-hulkbuster-in-a-detolf

I believe that's why @RED WOLF has his DX Chogokin/S.H. Figuarts Hulkbuster MK.44 on the bottom shelf of his display case with the other S.O.C Go Lions as they're too heavy!!

Edit: @no3Ljm - Getting the S.H. Figuarts Iron Man MK. 7 with the Hall of fame armour?

I know... I wasn’t going to. I had sold my first Avengers team when we moved and told myself to stick to Macross, but somehow I got back in November and basically got them all back with the exception for Cap. I completed the Age of Ultron Line up with Hulkbuster. So Far Diecast I have Mark III, Mark VI SE, Mark 42 Disney Special, Mark 43 SE, Mark 45, Mark 46, Mark 47, War Machine Mark II (AOU), and War Machine Mark III. I think that’s all the diecast I have.

Oh man you already can tell with the weight of Mark44 you can’t put it on top shelves of the detolf. Putting it on the upper shelves is just asking for trouble. Safest is the bottom if you can stand to see it on a stick figure pose.

Sricking to the topic at hand, Spidey homecoming this week!

I didn't want to scare you, but rather somewhat educate you. Honestly it's an admirable thing to do for those that make that choice.

Ya only someone who wants trouble would put this on glass or acrylic unless an inch thick and/or not very wide. He is awesome though. I'm moving my voltron stuff and macross over when I start my second case. Hulkbuster will be lonely until iron spidy and mark 50 join him.  You are correct @no3Ljm hot toys stuff is pricey that is why I don't collect them. I'll just have the three when everything is said and done.

I also removed the stand HB is on. I wasn't feeling it.

I already preordered the Mark 7 at NY. Then after that I saw the listing at BBTS with the Hall of Armor. But TBH, I already don't have enough space for me to collect the Hall of Armors. I just like them as is. Probably I'll just use an acrylic stair display for all of them somehow. I'm also having second thoughts if I should PO the Hulkbuster Mark 2.

This month’s HLJ haul!

Can’t have Gundam Alex without Bernie’s Zaku (it even comes with effect parts to show the beam saber through the cockpit)

F91 is one of my favorite designs, lighting unit is currently sitting in PW, as it was on backorder when I shipped. I’ll ship it with the upcoming RE/100 Vigna Ghana.

Crane/Drill aren’t quite as fun as Scissor/Blade, but like the rest of Patranger’s stuff, it’s all much more cohesive in aesthetics. (Different colored police cars vs random assortment of aircraft with dials)
