Where is the VF-1A max from?

i thought they only made the super-J max in hi-metal r?

It's a custom HMR that I made.

Group pics will have to come next time when I get the chance.  In the meantime, here's my HMR display of the day.  Fall of the Zentradi.

Nice pic.   Add some Legos between the legs of the results as bricks on the floor ha ha

I've been wondering... Could it be that the reason why HMRs releases are so apart from one another is to give Tenjin enough time to make those awesome illustrations? 

Hahaha! :lol: C'mon, you think Bandai would do such a thing like giving someone an 'importance' just because he's doing packaging art? For sure, they follow a schedule for releasing products. What do you expect, every month there will be new HMR releases? You're not even thinking about other factors such as design stages, quality controls, etc. ^_^

The Tenjin box art and Defender toy are looking great.

If Bandai ever decided to reissue the 1/55's again, I would love some beautiful Tenjin artwork on the boxes.

Well....we kind of already got to see how it would have looked for the Hi-Metal Strike Hikaru.....now we just need his boxart for the Elint and SuperO!....Oh, and the VF-1A Hikaru!

Nice pic Saburo 

 

Just picked up my Spartan too. To the experts out there, what are those two on his back noggin'? Antenna or phase ray projectors?"

A screw fell out of my Spartan the day after handling it.  I have no idea where the screw came from on it.

Only screwed point I can see are those behind his thighs and his inner ankle/heel.

I need a favor. Could you please  post a shot of his bottom point? the part underneath his crotch? My version seems to have a QC issue where it is deformed on the right side of the peg hole.

They are anti-aircraft laser guns.

Sure, I can take a quick shot for you.

Here's the shot you requested.

Thanks for the reply and the pic Saburo! In my Spartan, that part is like chipped/carved off. Mega bummer!  I wonder if I need to have it replaced or what? :(

Interesting. Mine seems to have some ugly mold flashing on the side like Sabuto's but I don't think it's affecting the functionality of the peg hole. Yours is completely warped so it is unusable? Either way it seems like a common "defect" in that area.

Sounds like a bit more of the vent/sprue was cut off during manufacturing.

As Slave IV said, its a common "defect" its good that is not in a visible spot, I have "chipped/carved" plastic on more visible spots on some of my toys.  :(

Yeah, it was one of the first things I noticed since my HMRs are mostly pristine but didn't worry about it since it is unnoticeable unless you are inspecting the crotch closely. I like mechs, but not that much or in that way. :p

The circle part for the peg is okay. It's the part that's, well carved off.

If it's Sheryl or Minmei's, I'll give it an even more closer inspection! :lol:

So it seems across the board so far that they messed that area up. You got it the worst so far. Again, seems like an insignificant area to worry about.
