The 1/60 just looks odd now in battroid mode. Oh and DHL delivered it to the wrong address. A senior citizen couple that lives next door. I disagree, i still think they look gorgeous.

Lolicon Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm with @Roy Focker. How did we ever live with those awful 1/60 toys? They look like Gundam kits from the early 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enphily Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I love my Yamarcadia 1/60 more than these Bandai's bricks. I even sold my DX VF-1J and don't regret at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn! I wouldn’t have noticed that seam if you hadn’t pointed it out. Now I can’t “unsee” it. Hahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was determined that they do not work. More importantly, I want to know if the Bandai hands fit on Yamato. 50 minutes ago, gerwookie said: I like the lighting on this one. Nice! Thanks! Lighting is so tough for me and the key to good photography. I’ve been trying some new techniques on these. 33 minutes ago, MKT said: Agreed.. Nice one @Slave IV!

If you gently use a file to enlarge the openings of the yamato missiles they fit just fine.

Slave IV Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just curious, has anyone had the wrong shoulder joint issue on their 1A? It doesn't seem very widespread at all but good to know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Got mine from AJ today. Packaging was pretty lackluster; no packing materials, and the tape was coming open on one side of the box. The valk box was just kind of sliding around in there... Contents seems fine, though. I'll have a chance to open it up and check it out later tonight.
