4" is a height and not a scale. 1:18 or bust!

Nice! and a takumi damashii hakaider (?) bike! I snagged the Red Crusher & Blue Zigg too and have the set of Asura Realm figures with 03 being my favorite. I’ve been trying not to fall down the sodo/shodo rabbit hole but I have some Ultraman figures. I went in on Epoch’s Daretoku Oretoku dark side & SWAT lines and was hoping for more releases but they seem to be done. I’ve also got a bunch of EVA frame figures that I haven’t assembled yet (only managed to assemble series one while 3 & 4 are gathering dust - yes, I skipped series 2).

Thank you for the blue diver pic: that looks pretty sweet. Maybe I’ll get a shot at in another riftmas miracle

I'm sort of obsessed with the Hakaider bikes. Here are some of mine:

SIC Takumi Damashii Hakaider Bikes

I really liked the Epoch stuff, too. When they were bought by Tarlin, I thought Tarlin would continue those lines eventually, but sadly nothing so far

Epoch Capsule Body

I fell so far down the Shodo/Sodo hole, lol. I must have over a thousand figures between the Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Super Sentai lines. Good stuff.

I've managed not to grab any of EVA frame figures, but they are very, very tempting. Though I did just order my first Gundam G-frame (Aerial).

I missed the Red Crusher! Blue Zigg is the only Super Robot King figure I have, but hope to pick more up down the road.

Nice collection - I didn’t know that bike was released in that many colors! I bought a battle hopper because it reminded me of a hot wheels I lost the rider to when I was a kid and had an assassin force Microman on it for a long time. I enjoy your pics and feel bad that I haven’t taken any in the past 5 years. I’ll try to fix that I’ve got the parts for a custom Microman that I just haven’t made time to cobble together (everything sourced from Mandarake) too, so I might start with that.

Yes, please take and share more pics!

I know my pics are sort of garbage, but it's still fun for me

Your pics aren’t garbage. You’ve got things on display and most of mine is in boxes with a few things within reach. Just about everything in my Flickr stream is packed away now and I don’t have the same amount of room for toys as I did. I’ll see what I can do this weekend

Thanks for saying my pics aren't bad


Votoms 1/18 DMZ-01 Scope Dog & 1/20 Brutish Dog
I bought the 1/20 Brutish Dog kit hoping it would still scale ok with the 1/18 ScopeDog, but it's a bit small. That 10% really shows

Speaking of under-size mechs, I got the JoyToy 1/25th Iron Wrecker 08 mech from BBTS' one-day sale right alongside the TVC Vel Sartha blonde Resistance fighter from the Andor show lady. As the SW ladies run puny I noticed the 25th male pilot's removable armor would fit her if need be, and it does! I'm thinking how to tighten-up the pilot cabin of the mech as she bounces around in there loosely as it's difficult to get her hands on the controls.

Preorders are up for the JoyToy Corvus Belli Infinity figures - I really dig the style on these - https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Brand=38702

Not familiar with the game. But paint that blue and it feels like what a competent Preox-Morlana team would look like. The Ratnik is an armor but that definitely works as a well-equipped doorbuster droid.

It's always going to be disappointing that the Hasbro Star Wars team never really got with the times and shifted from their 1:19-1:20 range into proper 1:18. Especially now that they have retro figures to fill that shorter 3.75" spot. I'll still do like jawas and droids though. A 1:20 Vader just isn't as interesting to me as, for example, the Halloween astromechs.

I'll probably grab a set to go with the orange.

So in on those and there’s a new Manglord drop on Onell tonight!

That Pheyaos is pretty nice. A Manglodemon in those colors would have been cool.

Got my order in for the new Eagle Force Hidden colors and can’t wait to get them in hand. I also got a Boss Fight Phantom and Joytoy Koseidon that I cracked open tonight. As much as I like Boss Fight as a company, their figures really need an overhaul. Sure, Koseidon costs a little bit more but the better articulation is well worth it. The phantom can’t get his legs forward to 90 ° at the hips without them splaying wide out and can’t do full lateral splits because the hip “t-bar” has a needlessly odd shape that hinders that articulation and also gouges the hips as you swing them forward. ZICA’s Sectaurs have a similar problem and the fix is to trim away the unnecessary plastic (on a brand new toy). Worse though is that the Phantom’s diaphragm joint is worthless: it barely leans forward or backward and gets better (but not by much) side motion - like many of the ME GI Joe sculpts - and his waist is just a swivel while Koseidon’s is a ball joint. I was really looking forward to the Phantom and am now reminded why none of my other Boss Fight figures are on my desk.

Boiled and popped the head of Jazwares 4" Fortnite Agent Jones and seems like the neck ball peg is bigger than Marauder Task Force and the Jones head hole was too big to fit on Marauder body. I guess he'll remain as Agent Jones.
