Just got Kelly and that will be it unless I see Samatha from Bewitched on super clearance. She shares the same face as Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mego's "Classic 8 Inch Figure" line and Super7's "ReAction" figures are freakin' horrible BY DESIGN. It's supposed to appeal to older collectors who fondly remember the aesthetics of late '70s toy production... and presumably, it's a lot cheaper and easier than getting decent sculpts, accurate proportions, or likeness rights. Have you seen ReAction's Robotech line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easnoddy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have no doubt Hasbro/Takara could do better. It would cost more though. Its just a matter of what to do with the outer alt-mode kibble in bot mode. All said it's not terrible. Leader Jetfire was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuka the Cat Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 So... as some of you may recall, I told myself I would try cutting back on my Macross toy collecting. I tried to resist, I really did try. But with homework, 2 term papers, midterms coming up, and dissertation research, well..... some people stress eat, I stress shop. *SIGH* So, my acquisitions over the past month (errr... maybe 6 weeks) have included: Hi-Metal R VT-1 SuperOstriches x2 DX Chogokin YF-19 x2 Yamato 1/60 VF-19F Yamato 1/60 VF-17D Yamato 1/60 Super Pack for VF-17 Yamato 1/60 VF-11B Yamato 1/60 VF-1A TV Kakizaki Yamato 1/60 VF-1A DYRL Kakizaki with Super + Strike Parts On the bright side, I think I have gotten almost every Arcadia+Yamato 1/60 VF-1 series toy that I want now. I have Roy and Hikaru's VF-1S, the VF-1J for Hikaru Max and Miria, VT-1, VF-1D, VE-1, Armored Parts, Max and Kakizaki's TV VF-1A and DYRL VF-1A with Super + Strike Parts, ... I do feel this part of my collection is mostly complete., except for the VF-1A DYRL Hikaru with Super + Strike Parts, and maybe the CFs. My Macross Plus line also feels relatively complete, with the YF-19 (Yamato, Arcadia, and DX Chogokin), YF-21, and VF-11B.. all with Fast Packs. Macross 7 is feeling close too, with the VF-19 Kai, S, and F, as well as the VF-17S, and VF-17D, plus the Fast Packs for them. I think I am just missing the VF-11C, VF-19P, and the Sound Booster. Geez, I started collecting back in March? See, this is what happens when I stress shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Something to consider is that a few of these can be a bit of an investment. I've gone way past the "I have too many valks" stage at this point, as my recent move made me painfully aware of exactly how many boxes I had to move. I have one entire room that's like a badly played game of Tetris, and it's nearly filled wall-to-wall (but not floor-to-ceiling) with a combination of model kits, Lego sets, and Macross items. I can't help much with the money aspects or willpower, but there are certain things you can do to mitigate the storage issues. If you're truly worried about space, and never intend to sell any of them, you can easily store a few VF-1s in a shoebox. They're much more compact than the packaging would have you believe. If you really want to keep the packaging, you can minimize that a bit too if you stack similar plastic trays together in a single box, and then collapse the other boxes flat. Granted, that doesn't help much with display space, but it can help reduce the impact to the rest of your living space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the instructions it will be super secure because it's like Bandai's Macross Kits where the super parts are all parts swaps. You'll be swapping in a new chest to the Hazel in order to mount the Hruduru. Luckily I predicted this and got an extra Hazel so I don't have to take apart my built one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
