I'm curious why there have been so few invid or inbit mecha toys for sale especially as of late. I'd like to see some to scale with the CM ride armors or alphas.

What I would like to see:

Protector or Soulgi

Scout or Ligau

Shock Trooper or Gurab

Gamo or Pincer

Gosu

Of the main cast I intend to collect all of the CMS figures. I always dreamed of having ride armor in scale with GI-Joe/star wars figures. So the CM's are dream toys for me. with the release of the Beagle, I feel no need to invest more in the MH figures, and I think I will probably sell off my Current sent of MH ride armor to pay for the beagle.

I'm with you GobotFool. The scale of the CMs fitting in with so many other smaller scale figure lines is very appealing. I couldn't belive it when I got my first look at the CMs late last year early this year. They reminded me so much of my old Robotech Gakken 1:20 scale ride armor (I had Lancer). He was roughly the right scale to have adventures with my Star Wars toys. Everything from gun fights with Boba Fett or helping Leia do her hair.

I won't be able to afford a complete set of the Beagle Cyclones, and so I won't be getting any of them. Just one would create too strong an urge to get them all and I loose all control of my senses (and wallet). This really kills me since that figure line will be in another appealing figure scale I am collecting in, "Mego" sized. After the initial excitement of my CM collection wears off and the first Beagle hits the shelves, I may start singing another tune. Grass is always greener I guess.

Great news on the Armored Genesis book. I'll be picking one up for sure. Thanks Save.

some more pics of the Beagle's... not sure if its been posted before... but IMO, if that is really the end product we're getting, then it's very disappointing. the thing looks plasticky, esp the figure itself - look at that chest.... good thing is it is perfect transformation, no need to remove parts.

I would say the Beagle Ray head Sculpt is based off of Paul McCartney as seen in the Yellow Submarine.

All fooling aside, I can see why fans of the show would be irritated with such a high priced figure that doesn't have a very strong likeness. MegaHouse has done a very nice job with character faces and while CM Corp's brave line isn't as perfect they are still good. Why can't Beagle do this I don't know.

About the size, it appears Beagle will be 1/10th scale and should be very close to the size of a Mego action figure doll like the retro Star Trek and Pota figures Diamond Select are reissuing as of late.

Hey! The fixed pillion pose Mint figure was MH's idea! C'mon, Mega House, show them who you are releasing a fully poseable Mint next!

Seriously now. All these CMs releases are very tempting, but I have my money on the Mega House line already, so I'll just be patient.
