Which Bandai stand is compatible with these Hi-Metal R figures?

AE do charge up front but they also always come through. 90% of my toys come from them in the past 3 years. Yeah, nothing against AE, it's simply a principle I live by, probably why I've never been burned on any purchase; whether it be toys or otherwise.

It's a shame they charge upfront as I've often wanted to preorder with them, but I'm not paying for goods 4-6 months in advance...

I just bought my first, the 25cm DesuGoji/Burning Godzilla (1995). I'll probably grab a couple more as time goes on, but to be honest I feel they are seriously overpriced considering they are manufactured in China, as opposed to Sofubi vinyl toys, that are hand made in Japan. The vinyl quality is also rather dubious and smells kinda cheap to me, especially when compared to the Japanese stuff.
Hit and miss QC along with crazy international shipping costs doesn't help either. I like X-Plus' vinyl Kaiju toys, but they are definitely overrated.

Looks like Arcadia's hyper inflated MSRPs, are ushering all the Macross fans Bandai's way? These Hi-Metal R toys are stupid hot, virtually every store has thus far sold out in around 15 min. If this line remains hot, hope to get some scaled Zentradi figures down the line, Breetai would be nice.

Nope... Did you managed to grab one chachi? Preorder for the regult actually opened for quite awhile at amiami. Good thing HLJ takes their sweet time, to list theirs...

Too bad it would probably cost double that of the original release, and considering how bland it was out of the box (it really needs custom work), that would be a very hard pill to swallow. At least with a TV version release, all the colour would help break it up, and add interest. Would totally be all over a TV version release, but I guess the Japanese market really doesn't care too much for it?

Why doesn't it come up when searching in AA's search bar? Yeah, took ages to get through to the end.

I'll grab it when it gets subbed, if ever.

The Revoltech is a bit of a floppy mess, its hard to pose. The body is too heavy to be supported by the joints in its leg. But the sculpt is really nice and pretty much close to the line art. Come to think of it, I've never actually posed it without the stand as it doesn't detract from the aesthetic, and I kinda dig the look actually. Plus, I pose it in gravity defying poses anyway Hadn't thought about that angle though, good point.

Wonder what the scale difference will be with the Revoltech version? Not sure I can justify the Hi-Metal R version for myself, as Revoltech's version is excellent. The Regult's design lends itself perfectly to the Revoltech engineering.

Just got this guy today. What struck me was the size. It's small. But that coming from years of collecting 1/60 scale Macross valks and even the 1/48 Yamato's before that. Appears to have a nice matte sheen?

Looking forward to this line of Arcadia alternatives, as the 1/60 scale stuff has become exorbitantly priced.

Now lets get ready with the Konig Monster!!! Bring it on Bandai!!! yes. and more destroids please. i want all the obscures! even as a child, i always did like "the behind the scene ground crews" better I can relate to that, for example; I was the only kid that didn't buy any of the Turtles from TMNT. My preference was for the Foot Soldiers and characters that generally received little screen time.
