EXO Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The bookends look good... I wonder if they are going to be that nice when they come out. The Glaug looks cool with the big hole on the side. I just wonder why they insist on using the bent fuselage on everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groucho Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Somebody posted in the other thread, that they might be worried about the message "Actual product may vary." If you look closely, it actually says "Actual product WILL vary". You can definitely be worried. Not getting my hopes up yet.

ZorClone Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 those bookends are sweet! that looks like a VF-1S super poseable, right? Then where the heck did they get that Regult from!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Damn why can't Toynami beat Yamato to the punch and do a regult and glaug? Looking at that bookend makes me wish SOMEONE would do Zentraedi mecha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 actual product will vary - means diecast content will be zero! man, $80 for this thing that's the size of a superposeable? I guess I will be buying only the blue one to match up with the tread. we'll see if Toynami has learned anything from the past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFcommander Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Those are looking SWEET!!! Too bad I don't have anymore room on my book case those bookends are sweet! that looks like a VF-1S super poseable, right? Then where the heck did they get that Regult from!? That has too mean that Toynami has the molds. Let's hope that enemy mecha will be around soon. I REALLY love the details and the that action pose it too cool!

ewilen Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Personally, I'm underwhelmed. But (a) I'm not a big Mospeada fan and (b) it could just be the paint job. Let's see a comparison pic of a Gakken 1/35 and/or a 1/48 model. Well, here are all the Gakkens (from Valkyrie Factory): Edited October 17, 2003 by ewilen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnurmin Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hm... I am a big Mospeada fan, especially for their transformable Legioss. But before I buy the MPC, I need to see the final product first <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 OMFG, look at that gaping seam down the center of the head! It's like the freakin' Grand Canyon!

CAG Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 hellohikaru Posted on Oct 17 2003, 06:02 PM-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't the rowboatech toys have the decal U.N.Spacy or they just really don't ? Huh? What exactly are you asking? If I understand you correctly, no not all Robotech toys have the UN Spacy (aka the RDF 'fighting kite'), only the Macross saga products do. In fact, the Mospeada mecha are marked with rather prominent at times Mars Base logos instead of REF insignia. I might get one of these but definately not for 80 bucks.........

CoryHolmes Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I think you're talking about the Kevin Long drawings for the Robotech RPG series, in which all the mecha, Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada all sported the RDF Kite.

Pat S Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I'd like to see more pics of the Legioss/Alpha. I'll most likely pick it up though. Hopefully they'll start releasing mechs that haven't been released yet.

TheLoneWolf Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 The bookends look great, except for: 1) I only own 1 MPC 2) I don't think the Valkyrue and Regult are done to scale (nitpicky, yeah I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotech Purist Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Yes the MPC FastPacks rule!!!!!!!!! The Alpha also rock's the house. Stop complaining about it's size because the Beta fighter attached will make it the pefect size. Yes, you all wish that Japan could do this. Toynami calls you!!!!!!!!!!........so love it!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, it's all about ROBOTECH!!!!!!!!!! The problem is that the Tread (if it even comes out) only gives it extra size in fighter mode. In battroid mode (I forget what the term was for the legioss... armo diver?) the Legioss is all by its lonesome and is pretty tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Armo-Soldier -> Battloid -> Battroid Armo-Diver -> Guardian -> Gerwalk Armo-Fighter -> Fighter -> Fighter The size issue is a problem, but I don't mind it so much. The Legioss isn't that big, but is muscley where it counts. The price to size ratio though... Cyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tread would make for one large backpack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawjaw Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Several points: 1) I can't believe people are still bitching about the size. It's small because there is going to be a Beta. If it was bigger, there would be no Beta. Once you have the Alpha Beta combo it is going to look very sweet. 2) It says final product will vary because for one thing, it will not have that metallic coating. 3) It looks like the super poseables beause both are Alpha's. It's like saying the 1/48 VF-1 Yamato looks just like the 1/60 VF-1. Both are the same thing done at different scales with different features. The MPC will have more details like opening missile bays and transform. Whether not it is worth the price remains to be seen and will be a matter of opinion.

GobotFool Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) As long as it has a diecast content to make up for the size I'm sold. However I don't trust toynami after the MPC disapointment. I was looking forward to the MPC, I am no macross purest I go where the best toy takes me and that lead me to yamato in terms of macross products.(I don't worship the company, I realize it has its flaws but I still like what they give me) If the MPC proves to be a sub par toy, then I shall shell out and get a gakken. Hell even if it proves to be a great toy I still may shell out for a gakken. Heres what I hope. The MPC turns out very nicely, people buy it and love it. Gakken's drop to more affordable prices and I get to have all three mospeada Gakken Leigosses. and probably a blue and shadow robotech toynami Alpha, as well as a tread. Make note I said hope! Its still a long ways off. Edited October 18, 2003 by GobotFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Stop complaining about it's size because the Beta fighter attached will make it the pefect size. My issus isn't with the size and not just the price, but how sturdy will the connections with the Tread be... And how big is the Legioss compared to the Banpresto?
