jvmacross Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 which kit is that? Is it the old 1/100 Imaii(?)?

Chronocidal Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I want to guess yes? But the Millia is a customized Votoms figure, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Dire Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've got a Matchbox Zent for a 1/60 custom if I ever "get the stones" to cut some revoltech joints into him. The Imaii 1/100 version is on my get list, and will get some articulation upgrades as well. TV pilot from Hi-Metal VF-1J kind of sort of fits....won't close with canopy on.... I wonder if the pilots from some of the old 1/100 Macross kits would fit better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 that wins MW today..possibly the entire internet. LOL Best. Episode. Ever. Awesome display! If this doesn't make the MW front page, Facebook page, and Twitter page....someone needs to get fired...LOL awesome! shame you couldn't get him on a Suzuki Katana.. though the Honda is still fine!

jvmacross Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Now I'm jealous. Are those the ones that use the revoltech joints? Yes. I also bought his "prototype"...which uses different joints...it seems better to me...not sure why they were not used for the rest of the sets....

ZorClone Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 i haaaaate hate hate hate revoltech joints, they always feel like they're gonna break--and in fact I did have one snap on me on the WALL-E figure. I don't get why they use such weak plastic on those, yet charge $30-60 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why they use such weak plastic on those, yet charge $30-60 for them. I have lots of revoltechs (around 50) never broke a revo joint, although some of of the ironman jonints feel flimpsy. Still none have broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobytrap Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I have lots of revoltechs (around 50) never broke a revo joint, although some of of the ironman jonints feel flimpsy. Still none have broken. Nothing to do with the durability of the revoltech joints, mine have all held up fine, but I hate them due to their appearance. They never seem to be integrated into the figure very well and always ruin the overall flow of the figure. The ratcheting joint (which i find unnecessary in figures of this size) also limits some of the poses. For those reasons I prefer Figmas or Figuarts. I'd be over the moon if Macross figures were ever released by one of those 2. But, back on topic, those customs are quite nice. I also couldn't help myself and had to put my HMR Hikaru on a bike poppin' a wheelie. Too much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The miria figure is based on the Yamato Fyana figure which is a Figma precursor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 How do these compare to the T-Rex Zentraedi Soldier? Unfortunately...I did not get the T-Rex kit....it is a more modern sculpt so some may prefer it.... The articulation should be similar due to requiring the use of similar joints....the waist might be an extra point of articulation for the T-Rex....

UN Spacy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The price of the Monster has gone down on Ami. It's now listed as 18,540...down from 22,890 when it was originally released. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Because it has box damage. The regular listing is still here. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-017242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Dire Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The Monster is amazing! Just pulled it out of the box after my PW items arrived in from HLJ. What an incredible toy!Agreed. What kind of blows my mind is how big it is compared to 1/100 Macross mecha. Compared to my old 1/100 Phallanx, the MkII is truly massive.
