The Mazinkaiser was demolished along with Gaiking and a SOP Yamato. There were limbs and body parts all over the place. I have the swords and the accessories for all of them. The boxes were crushed during the process of moving.Two out of the five swords for Mazinkaiser were damaged as well. The rest of the accessories were undamaged. The moving company is going to pay, hopefully, for them full value. It was a very sad day.

I think it looks great man! Kinda helps ol' MPV fit in even better with the SOCs. The label will be icing on the cake! ;D

Nice. You should do some customs using the smashed bots. Maybe battle damaged SOCs that lost the fight. If the damage is only paint, you could do color diff figures.

You know, I was just thinking that when I moved, my bots were never out of my site. I made a special trip with just the bots in my truck only and was still pretty paranoid about my collection. I don't know how you did that, leaving your collection at the mercy of the movers. I get horrible images in my head of the guys stacking things wrong and just shruging their shoulders when they see the crushed moving boxes. Ahhh!! Next time, make that special trip, bro. I like the stand. The sticker you designed is nice and fits the piece well.

Ooof! Sorry to hear about your moving tragedy! It hurts looking at those last pics. On a positive note, the finished stand looks excellent! Really nice work on that label. I also just noticed the white details on Voltron's wings. Are those painted on? Or did you make decals?

The white parts on the wings were made with white vinyl sheeting. I think that they came out pretty well. I regards to the broken robots. They are for sale if anyone wants them. Make me an offer. I also have a broken Yamato by Bandai. I know someone needs some extra miniature ships to add to there armada. Thanks guys.

Tough luck man. Hope the moving company steps up and does the right thing.
Great stand!

Man that's a painful sight to witness. Sorry about your gokins, I hope the moving company compensates you enough to replace them.

The white parts on the wings were made with white vinyl sheeting. I think that they came out pretty well... I agree, it does look nice! Best part is, it won't permanently alter the toy since the vinyl could be removed, should you ever want to restore it back to the original way. ...but it does look better with the white.

Man that stand is pretty raw! I wish I had an extra stand to do that with my MP Voltron! This looks extra special to me as Voltron is my favorite gokin of them all and that stand you made just makes him look that much more like a true collectors piece. Way to go!!!!
