Actar’s Acquisitions (February Part 3)
Yay! More loot has finally arrived after the weekend of waiting. This time, we have a big one, in terms of both size and expenses. (^.^)
So, I got:
- 1/8 Scale Nogizaka Haruka from CM Corporation
- Robot Damashii Gernsback Mao Custom
- Robot Damashii Gernsback Kruz Custom (Sniper characters are epic)
It’s Part 3 as Figma Nanoha was Part 1 and Figma Yui was Part 2. Yes, Nanoha’s in the picture as well, just for fun.
Indeed, eye-poppinlgy gorgeous. Get the reference?
Last but not least, something that I’ve always wanted to get and finally managed to save up for, Yamato’s 1/60 Scale YF-21 from Macross Plus! (^o^) For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge Macross fan as well and have seen most Macross productions.
My absolute favorite Valk from the series is the YF-21, an odd choice, I know. While many don’t like the unconventional design, I simply adore the juxtaposition of the sleek Fighter mode against the bulky Battroid mode. (^.^) I will be getting the YF-19 to complement it sooner or later.
Yamato products are indeed spectacular.
- perfect transformation
- unsurpassed details
- great accessories (includes stand, pilot and FAST pack)
The only downside to Yamato products is their price. Paid 21,000 yen or about US 220 for it. (^.^:)
Talking about valks, lookie what I found in my storage room from years back! Some old 1/60 Yamato VF-1s.
Ah, how nostalgic. Remember playing with them when I first watched Macross years back. (^.^)

More loot coming up this month that includes a ton of exclusives, stay tuned!
You got a Yamato valkyrie? I been wanting one of those for the longest time but those prices.
You can't imagine how long it took to save up for one. (^.^;)
My fave valkyrie, still to this day, is the VF-1S.
As for the Yamato macross stuff, I own the YF-19 from macross plus and the SV-51 from Macross Zero. both are excellent and I was really disappointed when I found out that the Macross frontier VF-25 was going to be done by bandai as a chogokin. It's just not the same...
I didn't know you like haruka too ^_^
I;m pretty sure because it was a Secret lol. I am looking forward to getting her also, but I am going to wait till it gets to my local hobby store for her.
mine's the VF-1J * Stealth Mode*, My bro's is the VF-1S *Fokker Special* (more pic's coming this year) I'd love to find a 1:48 VT-100/001, or whatever it's called. The last pic looks like they both transform to all modes?...
Nice YF-21 ~~ though i like the 19 better =D
So would you be getting the ARX-7 and Falke too? XD
Yup. Have the Falke on pre-order and bought both the Revoltech and RD Arbalest when they were first released. Already did a video review on the RD Arbalest. (^.^)
Would you rather go for Alter Arbalest if you had a choice? :P It seems like Alter has Gernsback for this year release. Alter FMP mecha figures are expensive but their detail and accuracy is unsurpassed. But I guess Revoltech/Robot Tamashii got advantage in dynamic pose.
If I had the choice, definitely. But it's really, really expensive... (TT.TT)
(not to mention sold out everywhere)
