    I agree. Sometimes it works against them with the joint looseness but I think they got a good balance with it on the DX VF-1.

    one would think...

    Actually, she's "Lucy Maria Misora" from the early/mid-2000's AQUAPLUS Visual Novel/Anime series "To Heart 2"
    she's a late-2000's MEGAHOUSE/ALTER 1/6 character doll head, mated to a 2018 OBITSU aftermarket doll body,
    wearing a heavily-reworked costume bummed from a late-90's TAKARA/YELLOW SUBMARINE DYRL Minmay doll...

    I don't think the Caliber Wings elevator going to be $200 USD with all that fancy gizmos tacked on it...

    On another note: @OCProwl - Did you get your item shipped from Jungle yet? I read that EMS shipping is resumed to the States.

    Spam the the thread with your copy of Hayao's 1a when you get them guys in two/three days time. :D

    Yeah, I'll be shocked if EMS has resumed. Pleasantly, but still shocked.

    It was supposed to start back this month. If DHL hasnt turned a tidy profit, I dont know what to tell you, they've been pretty much the only option since March and their rates have shown it.

    Japan Post doesn't have any airplanes of their own; EMS uses existing cargo space on passenger flights.
    A major increase in international travel will be required just to clear the existing backlog of packages, and -- given the current COVID-19 situation in the US -- the States is the LAST place anyone in Japan wants to go to right now. :(

    there's a good chance that i'll have the funds at hand for a DX VF-1S Ichijo DYRL within the next month or two.

    if so, i'll be considering it, along with my VF-1J, to be my personal pinnacle in variable VF-1 toys,
    and pretty much consider the line complete for myself at that...

    September is going to be a plethora of photos! Kakizaki VF-1A and this! Ok, so not a nice thing for my wallet, but so much Valkyrie goodness.

    Yep, 2020 will be an expensive year for my toy collecting!

    Edit: But great for my Macross collection. I swear I'm going to stop after this though. Yep, just going to watch the thread and enjoy the Valkyries through other's collections. Till the next awesome one comes along and tempts me of course.
