I had the first 4 figures; 1 2 3 and Ryoma but I wasn't happy with the QC and sold them about 6 months or so later. I thought I could look past the QC issues but I just kept worrying that at some point they'd just break. Which ultimately is too bad b/c I really do like the look of these figures.

Midsection looks so square-ish. I thought the figure would have a more V shape to the torso. I've preordered.

Many figures were announced at TFCon and are amazing. I am going to be buying from Fans Toys, Ocular Max, and Maketoys for the foreseeable future.
I got the MP10V from ebay and I think this smaller version of MP10 Prime is excellent. I am waiting on the arrival of PS Backdraft and FT Hound.
There's a lot of 3rd Party goodness on the way

With the 35th anniversary of Macross coming next year in 2017, I was wondering if Bandai has any plans to reissue any of the vintage 1/55 scale Valkyries. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last set of 1/55 reissues we got from Bandai was from the "Origin of Valkyrie" releases from 2008, right? I don't recall the Origin line offering more than a couple of Valks. I didn't get any b/c I already had the 1/55 Bandai from before. Anyway HMR is doing well right now and the price range has been decent. If 1/55 did make a comeback - how well would it do competing against HMR? Will "new collectors" care for the blockiness of the 1/55 or go towards a more "accurate" scuplt? As much as I love the 1/55 I only want/need a representation of the Ostrich and Elintseeker. I'm already vested in the HMR and I'm hoping that these two Valks will be available in the 1/100 line.

I mean, it shouldn't be THIS hard to buy a freaking action figure, right!??!? Very True. What VFs are left - Mirya's Valk, Ostrich, Elintseeker, and the VF-1D ?

This particular version of Kup looks a little thin to me.
There are many reports of FansToys Foragers breaking at the Chrome clasp / Wing and inner arm mechanism. I hope to have mine delivered soon. Owners have been reporting that slowly rotating the chrome circular portion and working that round and round in both direction help to erode the chrome and relieve the tension in the rotating chrome part. I know that isn't very clear, but not sure how else to describe it. The actual Clasp is fragile and breaks if it gets caught on something, and the inner arm mechanism is breaking though I dont really know what the cause is for that. The point is be Careful and if it does break then contact the retailer and replacement parts can be issued.

Orders went up tonight for SHF Tony Stark and SS Kamen Rider W (double). At this moment orders have closed. Perhaps orders will reopen.

Just curious about HLJ. Has anyone who ordered from them received a payment request for the Glaug?
