^^So, which miniature version of Vehicle Voltie/Dairugger XV is this?

And what's your impressions of it?

Mini-Action by Action Toys.

Cheap thrill... It looks good and poses well for its price ($35 preorder). A very good representation of Vehicle Voltron, albeit small... can't really display it with my larger super robots, which is why it's with my 144 gundams. I would recommend removing the gyro blades and Ginger while posing and put them back on after. Hands also pop off easily when range of motion is exceeded.

I still might consider the GX-88 if it's ever reissued when the Yen is weak like with the GX-71S.

GX-88 is smaller than the old Matchbox beast, but surprisingly heavy for its size.

Love how well the butterfly shoulder joint works, as it allows for some good two-handed sword poses with a proper gap between the two hands.

All the joints hold surprisingly well.  And it's amazing how much this set has to do and still does fairly well.  An absolute beaut' when it comes to engineering and its design.

Saw it on Instagram. From Berguertime. Just want to share it. It looks awesome. Mix of Marvel Legends, Mafex, etc.

I’m sure I could break out a ton of inappropriate jokes about Psylocke’s pose.

But the uber-nerd in me is asking, “Why the hell is Apocalypse helping the Sentinels?”

I really like the Mafex ones even though they’re pricey.

Another original figure and the custom inspired by it:

Turbo Terrain, Stratos, and Aqua Fighters:

One of the few times I added the little silver bits onto the Aqua Fighter.

Need to get another dog figure, maybe a Doberman, as that Rott/Junkyard just doesn’t cut it

Those motorcycles look a little small.

 

The Marvel Legends motorcycles are a little larger.

I think ol' Junkyard would just turn around and bite the snot out of a 'Nok.

Normally I agree but in that comic Junkyard saves Mutt by being a decoy.  Got cut up for it too but survives.

Nice bikes and scale better too but I'm not spending $400 for bike accessories, and getting stuck with 4 unwanted Logans/Punishers. 
 

Maisto's 1:12 scale at ~$25ea and more detailed with full on chrome they're good enough for me.  Plus I can have a different model for each Dreadnok.  
 

I’ve got one ready for Zandar, Zarana and Torch.  Extra 1 will probably go to a Joe.

Another old custom.

Trying to mimic the ROTJ pose on the Sail Barge:

And yeah, I know he wasn’t wearing the glove yet.

He looks like he’s got some major ptsd.

Finally get to upgrade the figure on the left, and have a figure that can do Dooku’s saber salute:

Passing the proverbial baton (or scarf in this case) to the new guy:

Of all the Bayformer movies, original 2007 bots are the ones that make the most impression to me.

Is this how we're supposed to do "poses" now?

Very cool, at first I thought the one the right is a Darkstar from Top Gun Maverick. Threw me off because of the pseudo-F-14 beside it lol.

After looking it up, am only realising now it’s an X-19. Are these the same as below video & really vintage items?

That was actually the last GI Joe vehicle I ever owned. Around that time GI Joe was going out and Turtles were the big thing coming in

Yup, same fighter from 1988.  The front landing gear got a little wonky on me.  But it’s held together with some packing tape and such.

The two pilots are from the newer 25th anniversary line.  But the new figure still fits in the old X-19.

One of the things I like about the 25th line was that those figures could still fit in most vintage vehicles.  Not all of the vehicles, mind you.  But a good chunk of them.

[MKT]

So they are really vintage stuff... Awesome to see that design in 1988, and the size of those jets!
Something we'll hardly see today unless it's some Haslab or kickstarter-type release.
