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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Even at this 1/18th or 3.75” scale, a lot of these planes are surprisingly underscaled. I know a few folks on the board showed off what a true 1/18 scale fighter looks like. Those things were beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the were the proper size, my aunt would never have bought me that Rattler for Christmas. Or give my brother the Sky Striker. We never did get anyone to buy us the uss Flagg. And if that thing was actually in scale, only the richest of spoiled kids would’ve owned it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test_Pilot_2 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Here are the new cases, all of these are newly posed/placed in here. Motion sensors, programmable RGB lights, the rear is a curtain light. Some is still a work in progress. The random Shenron is my tribute to Akira Toriyama. He sits up above them all in there. Gate's drone is in there, somewhere if you want to play where's Waldo.

Mog Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 They really should have mirror imaged a lot of the stickers for this bird: But all that panel-lining experience on Macross birds helped with prettying this one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Ignoring who this is, I gotta say I'm quite impressed with the quality of UFO catcher / prize figures these days. The sculpt is pretty sharp, with very limited seam lines & molding flashes, and even some shading. This is even for a Sega figure as below, which traditionally have always been lagging behind other prize figure brands. Best of all, prize figure prices have stayed pretty much the same, as opposed to scaled figures whose prices have easily jumped 50% over the past handful of years.
