Now, the fourth one is the 'pose/transformation the heck out of it.' So basically, @Foblander needs 6 of it. 3 to have it in 3 modes without worrying about the joints. 1 for transforming and playing. 1 for MISB. And 1 for just in case. Case closed. Ahh..... The "just in case" is important! Creating more accounts on HLJ/AJ/AmiAmi as a preparation for this wise plan! I have an understanding with the postman. Packages for Apt1-x (for all x) will be delivered to Apt1 regardless (just in case they try to verify shipping address on multiple accounts.

HardlyNever Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 6 minutes ago, Lolicon said: Kakizaki's 1A better come with a fat pilot figure. I always felt like Kakizaki wasn't so much "fat" as really just "big." I get he is supposed to be sort of the "big buffoon" type character, but I think that has been exaggerated over time by fan perception and other non-canon stuff. He is definitely the goofiest of the three, but he really doesn't do anything that ridiculous or stupid. Of course he does die... But I agree with the pilot size; Hikaru and Max can get away with being the same mold at these small scales, but Kakizaki definitely needs to look bigger. Maybe that's part of the reason they make the VF-1 cockpits so big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To allow for a "plus size" Kakizaki pilot figure that will fit snugly into the space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Well.. That happens when my brain is scrambled while working late afternoon shift. Oh... Before I forget. An additional heads up for those who are into Bandai's Movie Realizations figures, pre-orders for Outlaw Wolverine is also on the same time as well.

Thanks @borgified.
