I’ve always wanted to get one but they seemed pricey. Can’t wait to open up the figure!

You did good.

I mean, not for me but still, you did good.

Did you see the recent rumors of Super7 o-ring line due late this year having comic Snake Eyes, cartoon Duke, maybe cartoon Cobra Commander, Cover Girl, the barbarian from cartoon Duke has to fight? One website, maybe BBTS, had pre-orders taken down where price was $19.99 each where the assumption was more sales than ReAction due to o-ring.

The Super7 5POA ReAction figures had much better sculpts, so as soon as I see what their o-rings look like, I'll likely pre-order a few.

Also, the other day Marauder Task Force put up an all black woman valkyrie figure, so with their new Christina head would make a decent 4" modern Baroness. When I first noticed it on the site, it was like 40 in stock and when I checked tonight, 1 left in stock.

I did and very curious! Depends how they go, if they start launching 50 figures a year I cant keep up with that. Maybe the first year depending on quality and quantity but for now still focusing on the original run.

Glad I still kept the box. Large toy & box & has a great picture on the back

Cost about $55 AU back in the day.

Jetfire was the coolest, since it was a repainted Robotech Valkyre they had to change his look in the cartoons.

What brand are the figures? Want to grab some as xmas gifts for my friends. Maybe one for me too. lol.

From what I've found it's a "Gilmelody" figure. That means it is a DEFINITE Chinese knock-off. The reviews say that it is very fragile too. But for $20 and free shipping, it was worth a dice roll for me.

Thanks Sherbro!

I don't think that they're Shfigarts but they still look great. I hope everyone enjoys their purchases. I'll keep an eye out for any other bargains!

Mid 80s ? I had loads of those along with the boxes in my mother's loft/ attic. She got rid of everything except my original Star Wars figures ...

I keep looking at the retro ones that are coming out...

I feel for ya, bro.

Was funny seeing robotech back then & having jetfire. Thought robotech was cool.

As a kid, I bought the Macross version in Hong Kong that came with the green heavy armor. Don't remember cost.

 

[GSP_37]

But Enforcer sounds way better than Immortal, maybe i should read some of the newer stuff.

I think maybe it was one of those trademark squatting problems like Steel Brigade.

Talking about Macross, I was always fascinated by those motorcycle exo suits.
Is this Macross ?

That's Robotech Next Generation aka Mospeada. Here, one toy store at the mall had the Scott Bernard, diff name in Japan I think, with transforming bike into armor. I bought that and not so good. The transforming part that is.

I liked the fighter jets though, which I never bought and Robotech had USA version of it.

That's not Macross, but it is Robotech. In the US, Robotech is a redubbed mashup of multiple series that includes both Macross and Mospeada as well as another series [WIKI]. You can find the Macross transforming jet (VF-1 Valkyrie) toys branded as Macross, Robotech, and Transformers as Jetfire. Maybe others as well, but those are the three I'm familiar with.

McF GI Joe & Transformers 3" Page Punchers pre-order today. $16.99 for two comics w/two 3" tiny figures. Was at comic shop and saw cover price is like $5 for current comic. Mostly buying this to read a hodge podge of whatever comic they included because the tiny figures aren't worthwhile by themselves. Bought the Optimus and Megatron one where Megatron doesn't look bad.

 

[TheSlothMan]

No those are definitely the Sentinel Spider-Verse figures, which I think are superior to the Figuarts counter parts. Kind of a crazy good deal assuming they're not counterfeits
