Madoka figma crossed with HG Gundam AGE. For some reason, this has become a meme.

log in to Pixiv for full-size versions, they're over TBDX's archaic 500k limit.
wait, why is this in this thread anyway? is it the official Girly Stuff thread?

Hey, I found the original image from that store display.
[www.fg-site.net]
and the source of that first 4chan pic:
[twitpic.com]
there's a lot more where that came from:

it's crossing into other series:

Strangely, there are very few other Homura Sparrow pics. I can't find a source for that pic of Homura dressed up as the Gafran but this repost shows that she can transform:

Okay, I think we never need to talk about this again.

Supposedly, a new Robocop is also on the way.

I'ma just touch him a little.
You know, I have a vague memory of a Drugstore knock-off 12" (or larger) Robocop that seems based on that design. I can't place it at the moment, and I'm too damn lazy/busy to look it up, but... I think it came on a goofy huge card, too. And made those awful 1980s car-alarm/gun noises. Does anyone else remember this?

Wow, I didn't even know that was coming out. The headsculpt is a little soft up close, especially compared to the well-defined arms and sharp, precise armor, pouches, etc, but the overall effect of the figure is fantastic.

How would that be possible? The mind boggles.
I still have the old Xebec/Kaiyodo diecast version from a decade ago. It's nifty, but the Revoltech looks nicer. That shit was previewed in the earliest sci-fi Revoltech inserts, too. 'Bout time it came out.

I still have two of the diecast marauders. Hmm. Not sure if I also need Revoltech ones.

I have like four of the diecast ones and all but one are broken. I think only my white one survived... Two greens and a tan are wrecked. I did buy someone else's broken powered suits at the summit, to perhaps part-swap my way to a few complete copies.

One had a hip joint break off, another had a shoulder joint break, the third had the hatch hinge break. The hatch problem may have been that something that's supposed to be glued together came apart. That also happened to another shoulder joint on one of these - the joint is fine, it just needs to be re-glued to the torso with some adhesive that can support the weight of the metal forearm.

Weird. I would wonder if you got unlucky and got a bum toy, but that's a pretty high failure rate. Maybe I'm just lucky? Were yours Japanese or the US carded releases?

I've had the same problems as Paul with the Powersuits. I had three of the Japanese boxed releases and one each of the US carded. 50% failure rate, with the culprits being:
1) Too much friction and torque from the metal on the plastic in the joints.
2) Clearances between moving parts that were too narrow.
3) Pieces being glued in place during assembly.
The last one was a doozy. The first figure I got had a frozen waist and upper thigh joints. I had no idea the toy could move in those places until I picked up the additional ones at a huge discount. And some of the other ones broke at the elbows, cockpit hinges, and cannon pivot. Would have been shameful, considering the original retail price.
The Revoltech versions should be more durable. And will hopefully have some rocker motion in the ankles. Mmm. But will they come with the Mongoloid pilot and freshly laid bug-egg?
