New Battlepod video from Cyrus.

Aaaaand…..there's the full sized SDF-1 shown all those years ago (same metallic silver and  blue color, unfortunately) and a Q-Rau right above it.

Is that an SDF-1 behind him in the final shot I spy?  It's much smaller than the one they showed years ago. Hope they haven't decided to scale it down……if it's ever to be released, that is.

I really wish they just sold the fastpacks. Don't need the valk.

The R-Area fighters on that magazine straight up have the motorcycle brand names on the wings.

Was really hoping they'd point a camera at those battle pods.  They look great.

"Ding. Ding.", Champ. Godspeed to you. Thanks for all the memories. Always rooted HARD for you and got genuinely got pissed when you didn't come out on top….even when I knew it was gonna happen.

Oh, yeah…………RAAAAAIDERRRRRRRRRRS!!!!

So who wants to bet, that shortly after the release of the VT-1 Super Ostrich in July they will hit us with the VE-1 Elintseeker for release in Nov/Dec?

It looks like KC has been sourcing their cloth from the feminine hygiene dept.

They made some bizarre color choices here:

I don't know about the top left, but top right and the bottom three are definitely homages to iconic Japanese motorcycle paint schemes.

GSX R1100

Kawi ZX-7

Honda Repsol CBR1000

Yamaha R1 in USA racing yellow

That's a cool assed callback, if you ask me.

I'm guessing the stand it comes with will be mandatory for posing.

As a kid we used to have a chain of markets called AlphaBeta. 

We used to shop there all the time. That sign will always be etched in my memory.

never ordered from this site, deposit 1 dollar guarantees you the figure? 😅

Yes.  Also guarantees the preorder price whenever it is listed.  If the price goes up, you get the price you preordered at.  Show.z/Gundammit has some of the best after purchase customer service/support on the internet as well. Any problems with breakages or missing pieces are fixed at no cost to you. Shipping costs are included in the price, though it takes a bit longer than DHL/UPS. They also have one of the best rewards programs out there. Excellent place to order figures. I obviously highly recommend them.

Whoa, this was wild, I decided to try my Robotech version (once I realized they were the same I was going to just sell it off but now I had to know). In my Robotech version there's an extra baggy that includes two more bracers, one of each L&R. In more awesome news, the ones in the blister were screwed up in the opposite way from my Japanese release! 

Big S, check your Robotech release for a baggy of corrected parts. 

This guy had the same thing.  Extra baggie with correct parts on his Robotech version.

THANKS @mantisfists!!! Now I'm SAD all over again! 

So glad I could share my sadness with you. Misery sure does love your company!

We're so close. 

Seeing these images still hurts my heart.  Think they even had a color prototype that they showed at some show.

Yup….found it.

…along with the Fuke figure

Such a shame. For years, I closet lurked on this thread, hoping for some shred of a chance that this particular line rose from the dead. The Sentinel was a good consolation prize as a fan, but there's still a hole in my heart from Beagle dying just before Fuke's release.  Would have been amazing to see what they did with Yellow's ride armor, which was my personal favorite.

Tatsunoko Production holds the copyright designs to Genesis Breaker, not Sentinel. If anyone's trying to quietly infringe on Tatsunoko's designs, working with Tatsunoko's longtime partner, Harmony Gold, is the wrong way to go about it.

More than likely, the reason MoShow Toys redesiged the Ride Armors is that they've done their homework. The last time someone (Beagle) masterfully turned Ride Armors into toys, they flopped so hard that they killed Beagle. The lesson learned is that you either make cheap Ride Armor toys or you update them into premium toys, like Sentinel did.

I could be remembering wrong but from my recollection, Beagle's ride armors didn't sell because the world was caught in an historic recession. Personally, I think if somebody put out a high quality classic ride armor today, it'd sell just fine.

Seriously. Threezero has had those stand in marketing photos since day one.

The unpainted prototype was shown in fighter mode, though. Not sure if we have seen a physical prototype in guardian/gerwalk.

Think this is about as close as we've gotten…..

Yes, but it's the peg the ball attaches to that needs the thickness.

Thanks for the heads up.  Though, it's the least you could do since YOU got me into this mess with your great pictures.🤣 Looking forward to fiddling around with em.

I do have some Kiki.  Are they all just ball joints? Really wish the Shock Troopers were released.  Such a bummer.

I've been enjoying these little crabbies:

Damn you!!!!   I now have three en route. I'd have gotten his Breetai as well, but I'd already completed my order for the scouts when I saw it.

Damn….that looks amazing. I had no intention on buying this but now I'm tempted.  

That cloth, though.  Unfortunately, you can see it's already ripping…..

What a shame. I'd buy two if it didn't have that cloth.  I'm scared to death to pull out my Beagle ride armors all because of some stupid material.  Not really trying to experience that a second time.

Natural causes could be any number of things from disease to stroke or heart failure.  It only rules out he got hit by a car or shot or some such thing.  

He was such a badass that I'm not sure anything BUT nature could have taken him out.

For me, he was Commander Zavala from Destiny.  For others he was Lt. Daniels on The Wire and Charon in the John Wick films.  Before all that, he was undercover cop Desmond Mobay on the amazing but often forgotten HBO series Oz.  He made a hilarious appearance on The Eric Andre Show and I still watch his Funny or Die video "Toys R Me" video at least once a week.  Just another death of person that I've never met that still had a big part of my life. 

For anybody who was or is a Destiny fan and have never seen his comedy, let me present…..

Thank you for the adventures, inspiration and laughs.  Eyes up, Guardian.  The Light calls.
