I haven't ventured much out of the Macross Toys section of this forum since I get most my other news and discussion on TFW's Toyark section. Will join in when I can but I'm a bit forumed out, lol. Thanks! Great pics so far. 18 hours ago, Podtastic said: No. Its the prefinished version. So did I. Back then my Visitor Shocktroopers were Action Force Mutons, and my Skyfighters were styrofoam Hamburger boxes. I just wish there were Hot Toys V troopers. Childhood dream toys. The only V toy I own is a LJN 12” Enemy Visitor MISB like the one below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the talk of "V" reminded me of the first episode of "V" the final Battle on which it was aired on the T.V. back in '84. Watched the first hour of the first T.V. series only not the rest. Might watch the entire series plus movie sometime (got to find the links and I don't have Netflix account if it's on there). I'm sure that you can do a kit bash of an updated version of this.. I'm not an 1/6th expert (just a noobie) by any means as the outer head sculpt might have to be a silicone based to make as per the box art. For the actual Lizard-like head, maybe a spare Marvel Legends Lizard will do and a commission on the full suit. As for the body, maybe a COO model will do?

Question for you and other owners of 1/48 GBP please. I am having problems with the leg armor on the right foot of the valk, in that there is a slight gap to one side and it doesn't seem to snap together snugly. I wonder if it's something that's off in my 1/48 VF-1S that's causing this, but I don't have another 1/48 to test it on. Has anyone had similar problems in the past? Thanks.

Focslain Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So while looking at the vendors at a nearby sci-fi con I found these three little ladies. Might take the second Sheryl with me to cheer for my knights on the battlefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Noir when he was releases and still love him. Maketoys did an excellent job with this mold and still need to get Striker Manus. Rioter is great also, I would recommend him, but the he is gappy about the chest. That is the only issue I have with Rioter. Looking forward to the Galvatron they just teased.

How does the Metal Composite line compare to the MB? Lol, yeah those Metal Builds are addictive. I can't wait for the Crossbone Gundams to up for pre-order. The Metal Composite is good with the most recent release, Wing Zero, being the best. I have the Banshee with the Wing Zero in route to me. With Banshee the plastic quality seems more delicate and fragile than the Metal Build. Not "you look at it wrong and it breaks" but a little thinner and very glossy. But the Banshee does transform so I am guessing that is the reason. One of the main differences I have seen are the amount of decals. The Metal Composites are always done up like a Katoki Master Grade, tiny tampo decals all over the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 @rdrunner I looked at mine again and not sure what the problem could be. Again, just make sure it's lined up properly and snap it on. Maybe watch @jenius's review again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the 20% ebay coupon plus $120 in credit card rewards which got Wing Zero down to $250 with shipping. I figured it was now or never. Really hoping I get by Friday. The Avalanche Exia and F91 are awesome. Be aware of the small yellow fins on Avalanche Exia's collar. They can get snagged and break easily if you aren't paying attention.

Focslain Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) So this technically arrived Monday from @Mechapilot77, but only just got pictures last night. This thing is huge, larger then my Pegasus model Might play a bit with it this weekend to transform and see if it will still display well on the mantle. It's too big for the glass case.

NECA does great work -- I bought their Mirage comics figures -- but I actually prefer Playmates' 2012 series: This line had the most appealing proportions, unique sculpts and body types for each character, excellent articulation, and an iconic look that's not specific to any single film, video game, comic or cartoon series. In the 30-year history of the brand, these may be the only Turtles than managed to look cute and cool at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma Style Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Definitely not new and in fact I've had it for some time but put it on a shelf and pretty much forgot about it until I finally caught up on some other photo/review work and can fit it in.

Just different members that I like from when they were in X-Force. I’m going to add Fantomex. If Hasbro officially releases an X-Force Wolfsbane or Nightcrawler then I would add them too. I think they look good together. 4 hours ago, Slave IV said: You don't like the one from the last X-Men wave? This mold looks a bit old for Iceman. And no need to make a Silver Surfer when this should be out soon The current Iceman is nice but I want one without all of the jagged ice parts. That Walgreens Silver Surfer looks cool and I’ll try to get it for free when it gets released. If Hasbro reuses Silver Surfer to make a 90’s Iceman then I’ll buy it. They can recolor it, swap the head, give it an X belt, and add ice effects and ice slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
