  1. Hey Totoro242, would you happen to know the exact scales of the various ride armor toys? I believe the large ones are 1/8? Some of the smaller ones range from 1/20 to 1/35. And then there are the little diecast guys.... The Takatoku Macross toys are so much easier to catalogue because there's so much information on the box art, and in English no less. The Gakken Mospeada box art's much more obscure when referring to toy series/name, scale, year-made, etc.
  2. Although I think that could actually be #1003. I think the RX-78-3 G3 is supposed to be #1002, to take advantage of #1001's mold.
  3. Ahh interesting. So Aoshima officially throws its Tread into the ring now as well. I love all this escalation. So now we have Legioss/Treads from CM's and Aoshima. And Ride Armors from Toynami, Beagle and Megahouse. That's kinda crazy.
  4. According to Gunota, this the next Metal Composite, FIX #1002. To be released in August for 10,500 yen. http://aeug.blogspot.com/
  5. Which Ride Armor is that next to the Tread? Megahouse? Beagle? Toynami?!?! The little sign in front of the Ride Armors looks similar to that in front of the CM's Tread...Could CM's be introducing a Ride Armor as well?
  6. Have a look! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZemerson1000QQhtZ-1
  7. That's great news! Looking forward to the new designs.
  8. Totoro242, nice update! Looks like you got the boxes for your Legiosses. Question: The three smaller boxed Legiosses in the top left corner of the pic...Are they the 1/55 variable toys? And are the same as the ones all the way in the bottom right corner of the pic (two loose, one boxed)?
  9. I've been digging around, but can't find any promo photos of the 1/12 RSC set...but my memory (probably wrong) tells me I've seen something before... Anyone got pics?
  10. There was some talk of replacing the black rubber tips with clear ones....Is this still being considered? Would it be difficult to use the same material already being used for the anti-slip "grips" on the underside of the base?
  11. I've got a variable, Bandai 1/100 VF-1J TV Max model up for sale in the following thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=20668 It's item #13. And it's the 3rd and 6th pics along the bottom.
  12. Does anyone know if the 1/18 Red Shoulder Custom parts that Takara Tomy are releasing for the DX Scopedog will be released only as an accessory set? Or possibly bundled with a Scopedog as a completed set as well?
  13. Hmm, this will be the first transforming entry in the Shin Geiki Gokin line, right?....I wonder how Aoshima will pull this off. Their Shin Geiki Gokin Mazinkaisers and Getters are heavy duty gokins, but not so good when it comes to engineering...relative to their close competitors, the Bandai SOCs. A transforming toy might be a bit of a challenge. Of course, the various Harlock Arcadias are gorgeous, but they just have to sit there and look pretty!
  14. I really don't think they're half bad in fighter mode.
  15. After the Giant Robo, Yamato went on to make vinyl Super Robot figures like Shin Getter, Grendizer and Ideon....and now a Groizer, I believe. But the Giant Robo was their only non-transforming diecast. Like everyone else, I have always wondered why diecast Destroids haven't been in Yamato's pipeline since Day One. Seems like a no-brainer. On the topic of no-brainers, so would Max's VF-1A from the TV series...but that's for a different thread. Damn stream of consciousness...
  16. Thanks, SaveRobotech! That is good news, indeed.
  17. The fingers are very well articulated, and actually quite tight. Very poseable. However, they are actually a bit on the long-ish side, proportionally. From that angle, it's difficult to tell...
  18. Yea, all the Mospeada toys my brothers and I saved up for back in the 80's were all in Robotech packaging. I think the original Japanese box art and design was herds better.
  19. Thanks, Jenius. That was fast! And the Gakken Singapore Mospeada toys were intended for sale just in Singapore (that's a tiny market), or for Southeast Asia as a region? Greater China? All pan-Asia, ex-Japan? Just curious, is all...The packaging is still clearly labelled "Mospeada." Wondering what the significance of adding "The Henshin Robo" is...
  20. All this recent talk about Mospeada has rekindled my interest in the vintage Gakkens. Quick question: "The Henshin Robo." What is it? Were these repackaged by Gakken for sale outside of Japan? For some reason, my memory is telling me that these were manufactured by Gakken Singapore? If someone could shed some light, I would be much obliged. Thanks!
  21. I know it's tantamount to blasphemy round these parts, but I still maintain that the Toynami MPC (although unbearably hideous in fighter and battroid) has the best Gerwalk mode down by far. The A-stance is solid and dynamic.
