My latest addition. Now I have both types of Cloud's iconic bikes.

Cloud Strife fan here too. I love his bikes. Aside Kaneda's too. :wub: 

Both my PA release Fenrir and Hardy Daytona sets was left back in the Philippines. And I only have here the recent released PAK Fenrir set. Now, seeing those two once again, you're making me wish that Square Enix should release a PAK Hardy Daytona soon (with an updated PAK FFVII (not remake) Cloud too). :rolleyes:

Can't go wrong with a Chunky Monkey to add into your collection Shizuka. :) Chasing down all the variants (if you do) is another question.

To quote a stanza from one of the most recognizable boyband songs as they're still going after all these years (I'm not talking about either any of the J/K-pop Boybands):  

"Tell me why/Ain't nothing but a heartache/Tell me why/Ain't nothing but a mistake/Tell me why/ I don't want to hear you say/ I want it that way". :p

The new version 2 fenrir is a big piece! i bought 2 and the box they came in was ridiculously big to say the least! 

2 only? You should've bought 3.  :good:

If the 1/55 is a reissue and brand new then it should be nice since it’s a great toy that is still in perfect condition.

I still wish that Bandai reissued the Strike VF-1S, Armored VF-1, VT-1, VE-1, and their planned VF-1D.

If it's a reissue and cheaper, I'll bite for Hikaru's 1J, Super 1A, and Strike 1S. ^_^

A more apt comparison would be the Weird Al version:

"Gonna buy / That vintage chunky monkey / Gonna buy / Destroids, Battroids and Zentraedi / Gonna buy / That lifesized doll of Lynn Minmay! / They haaad it, on Eeeebay." :lol:

Nice! I still haven't seen a single one in stores after frequenting several everyday, multiple times a day. Worst part is I haven't seen a single ML in stores worth buying with their current sale. Good thing I got an order in online when they had it available.:D

If it's a Jumbo Machinder-sized chunky-style 3P release....I'd get every single variant produced....;)

I recall there were a couple MW members working on upscaled chunky VF-1s....one made of wood and one out of metal....wonder if they ever completed them? :unknw:

I am surprised no 3P has released such a beast.

Thanks.  I don’t mind if Walgreens carries more Marvel Legends as long as they are available online and in store and discounted often.

Got some more female figures.

I use A/C all the time, windows are usually kept closed, and I spend very little time around my displays... and with a regular influx of new stuff, displays are updated often enough that dust isn't a significant problem.  Plus, those ships are easily accessible for dusting.  

The 1:18 Tomcat that hangs above them, however...

This one can only be accessed with a ladder, and hasn't been dusted in several years.  :unsure:

 

That is no moon!

Nice F-14.  Where are the figures that go inside the cockpit?

It can prob fit a 3.75" Luke in there :crazy:

Oh god, what have I done?!

I just ordered my first Chunky Monkey a few minutes ago!

Another toy line?! I never learn, do I? I have doomed myself... (sigh)

Ha, that's exactly how i feel. I believe a chunkey monkey is an essential part of Macross history, and anyone should at least have one... or seven... :ph34r: Anyway, well done!

JVM, you forget. There’s a 3P company already made a prototype. Not sure if some MW members were involved. ^_^

There are none.  Unlike most BBI "Elite Force" toys, the Tomcat didn't come with figures.  :(

>> I spend very little time around my displays

If I had a room like that I'd be spending a lot of time in it, especially with the AC on :P

Nice Marvel Legends Black Panther collection.

There was one company making 1/18 resin F-14 pilots.

got metal build inspired wing zero, thanks @F360 it came safe!

The GFFMC Wing Zero is pretty amazing looking, and quite poseable. Just be careful with the stand attachment part, one of them is a bit wobbly on mine.

Purchased a valkyrie factory ko arcadia vf-1s clone, which arrived today. For the money, It's actually not half bad. Came well packaged and double boxed. The paintwork, Tampo's and joints are all very good. Transformed without fault and look great on display. Is it better than the real thing? No, but for the money i think it was worth it. Might even go for the focker with super parts.

There are some Chunky Monkey that hasn't be made at all  @Shizuka the Cat

Based on what @sh9000 has posted, that's the modern list of the 1/55 of what has been made so far, however, there is a vintage VF-1s Strike Hikaru that is considered a "Holy Grail" plus with a VF-1j and GBP (both packed separately), which both @rdrunner and @jenius has in their own collection.

Make sure that you have enough funds saved for your actual wedding day.

Since the plan is for me to get married shortly after I graduate and get my PhD, that day won't come for another year and 3 months (at the earliest).  That's (*cough*) 6 months of collecting Macross toys and (*cough cough*) 9 months of saving up!

The 1/55 DYRL VF-1A Max is nice because it’s the first release of that type.
