BEST PIC EVER!!!!!!

Helps that it stands! Congrats on getting a good one!!

Haha, pic of the month Gar!

"Daddy,what does regret mean?"
"Well Bot, it`s better to regret something you have done,
than something you haven`t done...otherwise you wouldn`t be here me with...!"


I`m not into 70`s giant japan style bots, but these beasts turned out great
and are a bargain for what you get!
(too bad that some folks had QC issues...)

it's always the same with the qc issues. you should know that when you buy 3A products. it's not new / nothing special. have fun.

Very upset Should have Sky Blast next week

Looks like yours arrived in good order. Glad to see it! You will love Sky Blast!

After extensive arm surgery (Arm was loose) and left fin on head too

Thanks man! hope he don't come battle damaged as well

ahhh...boo. Glad you could manage the fixes, but you should not have to do that.

Seriously? So who DOESNT have one with issues beside the Mods?

No issues with mine. Great bot!

Nice Dewey! Looks authentic...

I have no idea what those details should really look like, but to me that looks like its an actual working drone. You built that yourself?! Amazing...

Build thread here if you're interested...

Not to derail the thread but Knightjar that fucking Silent Running drone is awesome !
Always loved those bots. Would love 3A or some company to make proper 1/6 figures of them.

Opened up MARS to see his condition, nothing broken thank goodness. His knees are a bit weak but joints overall are tight.
He's huge, i'm like "where am I going to put him", i'm at full capacity as it is with toys and boxes and boxes and BOXES.

I'm going to pass on anything else that's this big coming from 3A. I really can't make that kind of room for something this size.

Thanks, UsedUniverse! Yeah, they're some of the best movie robots. Maybe someone will produce figures one day.

Loving my Blue Ghost. The GID hands look particularly amazing in the dark. Surprised that his glow isn't very blue though - just looks like normal GiD color to me. Maybe my night vision is failing. Some of the line work on the paint job isn't really up to 3A standards but he's still an amazing piece.

Put BG under the lights for an hour and in a dark room, it's pretty blue.

1 with issues and 1 without, so it's a 50/50.

I opened my Universe Swirl set last night, and there were a few minor issues, but overall mine are OK.

Mars had both of his arms off in the bag, which made my heart sink. A little hair dryer action and both were on with no issue. His left elbow ratchet is a bit weak - it can hold the arm up, but I'm able to knock it down with not-too-much force. The right one is strong, the shoulder gives out before the elbow does. The only other flaw was the tip of the missile came right off, but some glue fixed that easily. No cosmetic flaws or other QC issues. Really a great figure that I love.

EDO is a floppy mess. The torso and bottom neck joints can't hold their weight. Some floor polish should be able to fix the ball joint. I can get the neck off I think, but I'm not sure about the torso - is it just a matter of popping off the ball joint on the 3AGO figures? I'd rather it be floppy than broken.

Just a fyi to those with loose joints.
I used my usual best friend... future shine..on all joints.
All are super tight and no floppies....
I used it on all my figures from 3a to Play arts to you name it.
Its a miracle worker
