    PRS Bandai MFV Missile Recasts!
    Hi all,
    As you guys may know, I am a huge fan of the old Bandai MFV line... I have something of a love/hate relationship with it because they are some of the best robot sculpts out there, but have become super expensive and hard to find. I think they are fantastic, with big, powerful sculpts, and have managed to get Getters 1 and 2 and love them. The problem I had is that I couldn't find missiles anywhere, and that problem did not seem to be unique to me. ;) Through some back-channels I was able to borrow a set of missiles and make some molds, and am now happy to be able to offer resin missiles to all you guys who have always wanted to enjoy the coolest feature on one of the coolest vintage lines!

    I know reproduction parts are a shaky business with high-end vintage items, so in order to avoid any abuse, every missile is marked with both a physical groove on the thicker part of the haft, and a Sharpie logo which will bleed into the resin just a bit, so the marks are effectively immutable.

    Every missile is test-loaded and fired a number of times to ensure proper fit, function, and durability. Finally getting to try out the launchers on my Getter-1 was a blast... having to do it twenty-odd times to test all the missiles was even more fun!

    Although I (unfortunately) don't own any missile firing toys, I think this is a very good idea. Specially if finding the original ones is so hard. Good luck with the sale.
