Wave 11 - Altrene + Altine (April Re-release!)

[pyroko]

The hollow part of the Shinki base no longer has that little cover, effectively killing its use as a parts storage space.

you know, it never even occured to me to use that like that. i just keep everyone's parts in a tacklebox.

...this post is meant to mourn the loss of something very important. The hollow part of the Shinki base no longer has that little cover, effectively killing its use as a parts storage space. There are no words to describe my sorrow.

will you look at that. : |

Ditto on that. Although it can't store much...

wait, the stand hasnt got the little box? hmmm, i just used the boxes they came in to store parts, my closet is packed with boxes but ive never lost a part and the little plastic boxes might not hold larger gear which the stand also wont plus with the box, why do you need a stand cover? the bigger armor still probably wont fit in it

[Hylian Pirate]

No, no, the stand could never hold bigger armor parts (or hair...), but it was good for things like spacers and the optional connector pieces. I have limited space, so self-sufficient storage is a must. Most Transformers have weapons that stow away in either mode, Figma come with baggies (I got <3s for Figma baggies), and most of my other figures just don't have a lot of loose bits. Still, I'll miss it terribly, especially since I won't be able to give Bright Feather and Harmony Grace (and eventually Werkstra and Valona) any storage to call their own. Now, excuse me whilst I mourn some more. I'm trying to be depressed here and Altlene just doesn't make it easy...

hmmm, well i guess theres a plus and a negative to everything, mms 3rds dont work on ex sets, new stands with peg holes dont have storage but they do come with a box instead >_>

Just got my invoice for Altines! A nice, cool $125.00. T.T She's worth it...she's worth it... Ow, my wallet.

[Pyaamon]

I am anxiously awaiting my final payment for her to come through. I am actually pretty worried even though it's only the 2nd of July, I just hope my proxy is okay >_>

Hey all. :D Not a fan of most shinkis, (at least not enough to lay down some money for them) but I couldn't resist Altrene! A couple pics:


Altrene commands her Valkyrie-type drone!


Vic Viper approaching the battlefield!

Altrene is fun, but not without her flaws. The "alternate" chest piece she came with will not plug in right. I suspect the tabs are a bit too thick. :< But her regular chest piece is pretty awesome, so I'm not complaining too much.

[star]

was that all one set or 2?

One set. I took the robot apart to make the Vic Viper.



New creation! Altrene riding her wyrm mount!
