Mog Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 ^^Not a model. Just a customized 3.75"-scale action figure. Got the customizing itch again while I'm waiting for some summer release items. I posted more pics and a parts write-up on the Rebelscum Forums: Linky It's tough being an Old Republic fan, when Hasbro hasn't supported it as much as other Star Wars sub-lines.

Shizuka the Cat Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 YAY! My 1/60 v2 DYRL VF-1A Hikaru with Super/Strike parts arrived. Now I have 2 of these VF-1A Hikaru toys, one that comes with the Super/Strike parts and one that doesn't. Heh, kind of parallels how I also have 2 of the VF-1J Hikaru toys, again one that comes with Super parts and one without. If I were smart, I should probably sell off the duplicates that don't come with the Super parts... if I were smart. *sigh* Anyways, quick question... I am planning on visiting family in Korea and Japan for a few weeks this summer and introduce them to my fiance. I figure I will also do some valkyrie shopping while I am in Japan. Since I just started collecting Macross toys a little over a year ago, this will be the first time I have to deal with declaring stuff with Customs upon re-entry into the U.S. Anyone know what the limitations are, and other US Customs-related details when it comes to bringing in valkyries in my luggage? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) I brought back a 2002 Chunky VF-1A brownie that I picked up from the Mandarake Complex on my last trip. TSA didn't open my luggage and Customs didn't ask to open/see anything. The only time I had any issues was when I tried to bring in Jerky that I purchased from 7-Eleven/Lawson/Family Mart. They took it all away because it wasn't cooked, just dried. Because Mad Cow they said. My main concern was box crushing during the plane ride. You don't know how many suitcases will end up on top of yours during the plane ride. You can always consider mailing it back to yourself as a last resort. I'm sure that the others will have more experience with this. Just for reference. My friend did bring back like 23 or so bottles of alcohol (mostly whiskey) back from Japan. I think he paid less than $100 (might have been $35) in import duties. Edited May 6, 2019 by DewPoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was available so I ordered two. He’s still available to order in a set with Deadpool at Dorkside and individually at SuperV but with an ETA of August.

rdrunner Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 These all came in on the same day, after getting stuck at the New York ICS for days, the VF-4, weeks. The VF-25G was a spontaneous pickup - it was missing most of the accessories except the sniper rifle and the stand (Gerwalk and Battroid adaptors missing). Manda said there are loose joints, and “fear of joint breakage”, bordering on junk status. Transformed into G without problems so far. Will see if it snaps in half when I attempt Battroid.

Ah so you're the one who bought the suspiciously cheap "hope it doesn't break on you" 25G from Mandarake. How is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - I just came across this during my routine search for my "want" list, this being on top (up there with the VF-0D). Saw the "low" price of 20k yen and I knew it had to be pretty beat up. When I got it, the plane was actually in reasonable shape in terms of scratches and paint chips. The left shoulder hinge joint is loose, but that's what I have found so far. The hip ball joints seem to be holding up ok (I have seen worse). But I haven't transformed it into Battroid yet. Here is my question - has anyone experienced any joint breakages with any of the DX renewal VF-25 figure? What joints are prone to failure/stress breakage? With the loose joints, I was just planning to leave it as is, or just dab a tiny bit of thin cement in the hinge to tighten it. Thanks.

How is it? @Lolicon just FYI, I asked Mandarake directly if they could give more details of the suspected broken joints. They replied very quickly. I feel a bit better about testing it in Battroid mode now. Indirectly loose overall. A load is applied when deforming. So the staff said it was fragile. The explanation is difficult because it is an individual's feeling beyond that. It is a figure to display without moving too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
