Excellent, questions regarding plastic antennas from Volt Landers & Frigate 1. Antennas bent, attempted to flex opposite direction overnight but they just return to former bent shape. Any suggestions? 2. 3rd party chrome antenna replacements? Thanks Heat it up with a hairdryer while bending it back to its original state. The shape should stay. Thanks for suggestion. After bending in opposite direction overnight again it looks straighter so no need for heat

Also would be helpful to know which retailers don't require immediate payment, thanks BBTS and HLJ do not require up front payment, and you can cancel pre-orders prior to them being inbound to the retailer. ToySource does not require up front payment, but the policy is you cannot cancel pre-orders. Overall I find HLJ while a little pricier than some such as AmiAmi, to be extremely reliable in terms of service, delivery, Comunications, and excellent CS. I also find I get the preordered SOC's earlier rom them than other vendors. I tend end to avoid most "pay up front for pre-order" merchants as I feel the consumer, outside of very exceptional circumstances, should not be functioning as the businesses interest free line of credit. Reasonable deposit for expensive pieces is fine. But full price a year before delivery, where it exceeds the PayPal or credit card protection periods? To a foreign merchant with no legal recourse? Hell no. It's not worth saving $20. I have paid in advance for pre-orders before, but not any more. No more free loans, thanks

The arm & hands move together so pins attach arm to body or arm to hands? Maybe I should disassemble this like Hello Kitty

Thanks for explanation, think I will save money for the DX Chogokin The hi metal version is also bigger everything if that is any consideration. I was gonna link some but looks like the price went up on them recently. There's 3 version Normal black space background box Special , black space background with sheryl nome pic logo and comes with a special display base , Sheryl creditcard and paper works. Tamashii web store is most recent with white back ground , same as the normal one with darker coloring. There's a normal version brand new for 27000 yen at jungle jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=1493155HI-METAL has nice details, but I like the DX Chogokin because it can transform. Probably have to wait for a re-issue. Never heard of jungle, checking it out now thanks

The DX Chogokin is the Koenig Monster, and it transforms between three different modes (like most Macross ships). It's a big beastie with a fair bit of metal and a fairly clever transformation. The High-Metal is just the Monster, the original Mech that the Koenig Monster was based off of. It does not transform. It just stands and looks impressive and has a ton of guns. Thanks for explanation, think I will save money for the DX Chogokin
