Macross Acquisitions

That's the other mold I'm considering, likely in the from of Double Nuts (<insert Beavis laugh) or Bird of Prey. What's your opinion of it Zed?

Don't know if I'm the best person to ask as Its only been free of its plastic cage for less than a week, and transformed twice.

That said mine is a second hand one, but Japanese second hand so hardly touched. Generally speaking I'm pretty impressed I haven't encountered any really floppy joints or obvious QC problems so far. The legs are not floppy which I heard was a common issue with the first releases. My only two issues are that the latch that holds the nosecone to the gullet in Battaroid mode could be more solid, its easy to shake loose, and the main issue I have is the gunpod is wobbly in fighter mode.

As a toy it"s pretty nice, a little long legged like its rival the 21, but still good. Transformation is pretty good and not to hard or scary, mine came with no instructions but I muddled though having seen Tober change his in the past. I find it easier to transform than the 21, but harder than the 11b.

I prefer the 21/22 for its design and the VF 11b for being a little more solid and polished, however this is still a great toy and I"m happy I got it, admittedly I picked it up for 10800 yen, secondhand so I was expecting issues, but so far its all good.
