      How many inches tall is a 1/100 scale figure. Yes I know it's a stupid question. Thanks

    The fact that they are releasing these with Takatoku style boxes feels like an insult. They're reminding you of a better quality toy with one that falls apart if you look at it wrong.

    Another Jenius review! I got a first release Hikaru, and it falls apart by looking at it. I am glad they improved their future designs.

    Darn, this makes me skeptical of getting the newer ones from BBTS. 🤔 $50 now vs the $20 these were is quite a jump especially if it’s so fragile. 😔

    12:57 I got the toynami 30anniversary and got the unlucky one with the gearwalk being the sloppiest and having the same problem with the fighter with the arms, at least as you said the battroid is the best, thankfully got with the heavy armor for that and it looks great

    Love these, perfect nope but hits all the notes at a decent price and if one falls it's not a big deal now we need some battle pods and 1/100 tomahawks and monster

    • @jennyc7543

      If the plastic quality were better, and if they had added more locking tabs and integrated the hands into the transformation, then the toy would be near perfect for me.

    I used to have simple toys as a kid! They were just fine as i remember. Without missiles. Can simple robotech toys be found nowadays??

    • @ScorchedEarthToys
      @ScorchedEarthToys  4 роки тому +1

      No, but there's a good reason for that. Robotech isn't creating new fans at the moment so most Robotech fans are in their 40s. While lots of us would love to give our kids a toy, it's not a large enough market as basic toys make their money on volume while complex toys enjoy a steep mark-up.

      Comment is so true. At 43 I loved ‘robotech’ as a kid. And my son likes watching Macross with me. We are avid toy collectors to an amateur degree...but I cringe when he looks at my mechs. :(

    I still don't get why they can't make the palms well-articulated instead of providing additional palms that could easily get lost.

    Any chance Scorched Earth that the info of that turn table shown at the start you used could be shared? Thank-you in any case for another great review.

    • @ScorchedEarthToys
      @ScorchedEarthToys  4 роки тому +1

      Honestly, it's an AWFUL turn-table. It wobbles, it's noisy (I drop the audio track for the voice over), so I don't recommend it.

      You could grab waves 1 and 2 for $14.99 pretty easily when the MSRP was $19.99. That was a long, long time ago.

    I would not touch these.
    I had a full case of these Macross mechs and they just broke in random parts for the ones I'd opened.
    I sold the rest for cheap and sealed in box - good to display in box but never to open them as they're just too fragile.
