On the B2Five ride armors, I watched a FB video not too long ago where the designer was introducing the toys, transforming it on-screen with some discussion on their design philosophy. The designer is from Hong Kong, & is actually the same guy behind the recent & very excellent Pose+ Baikanfu.

Some takeaways:

1. It is not perfect transformation, yet nowhere near the huge partsformer of Megahouse's. Only the front forks are removed from bike to armor mode and stored aside. This is for practical purposes at this scale for the transformation & posing in armor mode, plus to avoid overengineering & complexity like CM's.

2. The designer intended this to be a desktop toy, to be fiddled frequently, quickly transformed back and forth & easily posed with the included stand. From the video, the transformation process is pretty straightforward, & the pre-production sample he was using to demonstrate the transformation look to have pretty good tolerances (unlike the CM's, those were quite a nightmare to transform). 

3. The stand has peg holes all around it to plug in all the accessories - extra hands, head / helmet, weapons etc. Once everything in on the stand, the entire toy can be moved just with one palm. No need to look for a separate parts bin.

4. If sales of the initial 3 armors are good, Houquet should be offered up next. So, this could be another line where we might have the complete 4.

 

I was quite lukewarm on the B2Fives before this, but the video made me very interested in PO-ing them. I just can't find the link now, will post it up when I come across it again.

I just wish they had gone 1/18th with this line.  

I won't be buying as really Do NOT need to start a New scale HAHA

We have nothing to fear but global communism and the loss of our individual property rights (aka freedom).

Death via giant meteor strike would be preferable, better dead than red lol.

How about they give us some Inbit?

Have to say INBIT.S would be Bloody Marvellous. However I have no idea if Sentinel Actually listen.

Whatever happened to that Genesis Breakers announcement? I haven't heard anything for years... 

I kinda expected Sentinel to have shown something from Genesis Breakers by now seeing as their Ride Armors have the same aesthetic. 

Maybe waiting till this one was Released?  Covid slowed down a LOT of stuff this could be another casualty?

As long as its unplanned this time we should be OK (barring giant meteor strikes).

NASA have announced Yesterday an Asteroid/Meteorite heading this way.  HAHAHA  You just had to jinx it.

My moreso concern Are the Politicians, as the world seems full of Very Dangerous Self important Politicians leading Nations to Disaster as it is.

 Still Post May (in case slight delay) all goes "tits up", least we will Have our Houquet.

My Boys Are all waiting on her arrival.

Now she is done, hopefully Sentinel will start on reusing the figures with alt colour suits and paint jobs to give us other characters from Mospeada Genesis Climber.

Anung Un Rama 

My 6 inch Custom O.D.S.T. aka 1/12th Scale. 
With WCT/Jazware HALO SPARTAN from the SPARTAN Collection.
Warthog is the Mattel one for the 12" Master Chief. Woefully Under-scale for 1/6th. However Seat boosts and Perfect for 1/12th Scale.
Mongoose is the RC one. Works perfectly well with 1/12th scale.

Classified GI Joe FIREFLY with his Custom Twin Articulated Rotor Pack System aka T.A.R.P.S. I designed and Made.

Done three T.A.R.P.S. so far. 

They have articulated Flight arms for control.  They have rotating ROTOR Fans. Fans can be secured to the sides for transport/storage.
Also a Four Point cloth strap and working Buckles Harness system to secure the 6inch figures too.

1/6th THREEA Judge Dredd. Has a GREAT Range of articulation.
Also Made him a Lawmaster bike comic style too.

Comparison of ThreeA 1/12 Dredd and Lawmaster with 3A 1/6th Dredd and custom Lawmaster.

My 6inch MiniMe (bald beard red flannel shirt) and with some other 6inch Friends too.

All the 6 inch Flock heads are customs I have Made

Well My Mezco MiniMe just got something totally unique.

Back in the 1970s/1980s we had the 12" Palitoy Action Man 12 inch figures. Loved them as a child and Do still have a few.

Well as you know I do these 6 inch Flocked Head Mezco customs. MiniMe is a sanded down Bald version.
So I had a fellow Action man Fan make a Box that scales for the 6 inch MiniMe in the Palitoy ACTION MAN style. 

The Sides have some of 6 inch Mezco Custom flock heads I have done. With Front and Back being 2 different shots of MiniMe.

Really think this is Awesome and totally something unique for miniMe too.

That's awesome.

Thanks Very much. It was the Very First thing I did whe ThreeA released the Lawmaster LOL Same as you with Riobots Mospeada Stig when he came out.

I have several of the Lawmasters and alas one had none working Lights. So ThreeA told me to smash it and prove destruction before replacement.

So I Had also some photo Fun with it LOL
