I have this guy. For some reason he doesn't look as good as yours.;)

Got a pick how the "bazooka" is clipped in?

Haha thanks @sqidd! :good:

Sorry I don't have any pics at the moment but there are 2 adapters included that attach to either the left or right of the back pack that will hold the bazooka.

So what is this thing, 1/72? Spike looks too small for 1/60 but too big for HMR. 1/72 maybe? I was going to take a dremel tool to it and then weather it, but oh man, it is a vary nice glossy red. I don't have the heart to weather it... yet.20191005_125434.thumb.jpg.2f1e69bbdda88e7142db976bfe7c26d1.jpg20191005_130622.thumb.jpg.9aa981dee039ae6a4105c0052cb698af.jpg20191005_130058.thumb.jpg.64d5cd1b1db90650972a9e92028bea96.jpg

Not yet. I've been sucked into old school robots. Getter, Mazinger, Grendizer, etc for the time being.

I don’t think I’ve seen pics of the other stuff but I want to beat you over the head and take your Mazinger collection. Actually, just that DX since I have most the others. :D

Pretty cool.  I want one in 1/100 scale.  I would love a Ghost X-9 toy with that glossy red.

NECA has been doing awesome updated Kenner figures.

Did a quick pic earlier of the DX VF-1A TV Max before leaving the house and found some more cool Hot Wheels.

@Chic-Guito we love you!  :lol:  Thanks for the figure.

I was expecting it to be 1/100 for some reason, but it seems slightly bigger than that. What i love is you can clearly see spike's head and hands from that close up frontal pic. It is an oddie in my collection, and I don't even know where to put it. One thing is certain, I really like it. The sad part is that i got it on sale, which may mean Bandai wont release Fay's Redtail. We will see what happens.

I gave up on wishing for a proper Ghost X-9, but i agree, I'd look lovely in that color.

Got some more cool Hot Wheels.  The Bogzilla can fit Lego minifigures.  The R2-D2 and BB-8 work well for character cars.  They weren’t ringing up at the register so the worker put the price as $0.80 each.

I’ve waited a lifetime to get this figure.

While it doesn’t quite live up to the hype (I’ve heard people say they were disappointed with SHF Jango Fett, but I would argue The Jango figure is better in some ways), I’d agree it is the best 1/12 Boba Fett figure ever made and I’m very happy to have it.

  Nice @sh9000!

paging @sqidd, another one of those big, top on the line style figures for you.

Yep, saw that!!! We'll see what they're going for once release. I could maybe talk myself into a grand. But if they're $1500+, no way. I don't even really know anything about Gundam. I just think that looks cool! And it's HUGE!!

I need to get some sort of Fet or another. You guessed it. Something big. Man, when I was a kid I was a Boba Fet freak! I remember saving up all of my "tokens" from figure purchases so I could send them in and get then Boba Fet you couldn't buy yet. I was so excited!!

Yeah, I was kinda surprised preorders sold out instantly at around $1k. Probably worth it in the end if you got that price though. I had to pass.

Since it's such a new market I'm wondering what will happen on release date. Will you be able to get them on AmazonJP for the PO price? Or will they be $1500+ right away? Just have to wait and see.

I want to see that line succeed. I would absolutely pay for a similar VF-1S w/ S&S parts, EVA-01 or Mazinger.

I wish someone made a quality Terminator T-800 that was actually chrome and big. Sideshow has that 1/2 scale deal. But it's $2,000+ and it doesn't pose at all. Then there is the 1:1 scale dude for $7000. A 18in Terminator in metal, or some metal but at least chrome and I'm a buyer.

Yeah, one of my all time favorite characters. If you want bigger, I recommend the Hot Toys 1/6.

Hanging out in my detolf that needs to be raised;)

If you need bigger, check out the sideshow website, I think they have 1/4 versions and even full size.
