  1. It says 2mode set that for the price I think you get parts for the fighter and battroid and probably the extra parts for gerwalk although I can't read the description.

    It looks like from the pictures of the fighters that the 1a has a TV pilot and the 1s has the movie Roy. If the pilots are easy to remove I may repaint them and swap them so I can have a tv Roy.

  2. I was looking at the grimgerde again and now I'm a bit confused by the head. I thought the eye was in the top area with the yellow circle, but now after seeing a review pic there seems to be a green lense sticker in what I thought was the throat area. Now it looks like a robot with a bunny hat.

  3. There was an episode or two where the monster magically hovered, I think one of the examples was a Mars base scene. Those scenes may have been due to low budget or lazy animators or maybe a misunderstanding of the mechanics.

  4. Most of the toys toynami puts out seem to start out as something someone else already made better like their 1/100 transformable valkyries that were just up scaled banpresto's. They even made the panel lines wider on those in the up scale.

  5. i guess when a toy of something that hasn't had a toy or at least hadn't had one since the early 80s nostalgia just happens. That being said I'm down for at least one monster and I'm gonna save up and maybe get a couple more depending on my personal economy.

  6. When I was a kid the 80s robot craze had taken over, but here in the states it was a bit tough to get the real versions of toys. I had the Jetfire, and a matchbox robotech monster and a couple of pirated macross toys I think called triple changers or something. The Japanese kits were only slightly easier to get, but not by much. I had some arrii valkyries, and an Imai monster that was just slapped together with no paint or anything.

    This hmr series may not be perfect, but it sure is making me happy to see items other than just another valkyrie repaint all the time.

  7. The original monster never did transform. This looks great to me. It's big but to me it's a must have. I've been wishing for this for years.

    The Koenig monster toys came out a few years ago when Japanese toy prices weren't as high as today. If those were out today they may be closer to a $400plus release.

  8. If I were to go with 1/60 i would go with the bandai dx series for the simple fact that I hate stickers with a passion. For the price Arcadia is asking they should at least do more of the important markings. I also think the hmr 1s should at least have those arrows printed on the head. The regult and glaug markings look good so far though.

  9. I think that if you have any sentimental attachment to the 1/60s you should still keep them and maybe put in a little overtime at work for the 1/100s. The hmr regult, glaug and monster are all confirmed releases. Hopefully they do make the other destroids and enemy units.

    I figure that a $60 to $150 release every couple of months isn't too difficult. Although that monster may be an exception price wise it's a must have for me. I haven't had a monster toy since the early 80s and that one doesn't look anywhere as good as the hmr.
