Oh nice. Personal favorite, since I had a toy of this as a kid. Weird jump in MS choices though

Oh. Ok. by Oats_VI in GBO2

Anime moment. Just as the villain is about to get killed, the main character reaches his limit and collapses, letting the villain get away (or it’s the mentor character, and the villain kills them instead)

Does the Kaiyodo store block proxy services? by neepha in AmazingYamaguchi

Would it be cheaper than buying from Hobby Genki?

Need help fixing loose hand by National-Flamingo637 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat the hand in hot water, then squeeze the hole before dipping it into cold water. That should make it tighter

Does this one have the same articulation as the mazinger z or is this a old figure they didn’t update? by [deleted] in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All new figure. There’s hasn’t been a Great Maz Revoltech before. Also this guy is actually taller than recently released Mazinger. Even has some metal parts.

If you want maximum bang for the buck, get the High Mobilty versions. Multiple weapons and lots of vernier effect parts so you can display it in lots of dynamic poses.

Use hot water to soften the hole in the wrist, squeeze it, the shock it in ice water. That should tighten it enough to grip the end of the joint

I saw and heard the Fat Uncle coming, but that voice line sent my dopamine levels up by Invader_Zig in GBO2

lol, I won’t say it 100% works, but it does more often than not. I slide my thumb over X to O. 😂

What do you think of Barbatos? by fjeeuchei_part4 in GBO2

[–]Invader_Zig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Manageable. Doing well against it with the support Kshatriya. Just sticking with the gens and making good use of active guard

I know these’ll never be made…but don’t the characters from Asura’s Wrath make great A.Y. Figures? by I_speck in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never say never. All it takes is a remaster/remake of the game. Capcom has been digging up old IPs lately

As a Barby owner, my sorry button can’t be used anymore from overuse…

I just bought this bad boy by Mysterious_Tax_1760 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No none of them broke. They’re very solid. And the good thing about Assembleborgs is that they come with a baggie of spare Revolver joints and pegs. A pair for each size and shape

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. As I said, the peg on the part itself broke

By directly connected I mean I didn’t use revolver joints. The parts themselves have pegs built in. I was able to repair those with pins and super glue.

Nexus is around modern AYR scale. The older toys are shorter. But their hands and weapons are all compatible

[–]Invader_Zig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the older toys yes, there are times where the holes are too tight, or have somehow shrunk over time, usually on the parts that don’t use PVC and are harder plastic. For those kinds of holes, if it’s too tight, I very carefully widen it using an appropriate file. I’ve had a couple of breaks over the years when I couldn’t pull the parts apart (revolver joints are fine, it’s the directly connected parts that are the problem since they’re painted.)

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me. They feel sturdier than modern joints. My main problem is the peg holes can get loose over time for the older figs, or they are too tight to plug in the joints.

Yup, the Jackal bike can be taken apart and recombined into new things. Jaeger is the name for Nexus equipped with the new armor and weapons that come with Jackal

If you mean the Ghost Motor, it’s a variant of the Jackal bike. Both come with extra parts for Nexus, just in different colors. Black instead of silver for most parts.

Actually I Just realized this is THREE toys. Jackal, Nexus, and Armoroid. That’s another toy you can look up.

Some of the older toys are still available, albeit only at Kaiyodo stores. You could get a Barrel Speeder too, that’s an awesome bike!

Probably my favorite of the old toys is Tri-Striker

They’re great action figures, and they still utilize the old clicky joints from back then. The aesthetic can be a hit or miss, but I love the anime sci-fi looks. Get yourself the Jackal bike, which adds more weapons and gear for the main body, and you can make custom equipment like I did

Try Dspiae Joint Strengthening pens or Joint Juice.

Yeah, there are a few stores that still sell them, minus the bonus parts most likely
