I need to rewatch. Sadly enough, I only just rewatched the movies about 3 weeks ago, but really mainly paid attention to the Garlands.
-
Now I REALLY can't wait for my order to come in, and to set up that metallic Boomer next to my metallic Priss.
-
I suppose, though I'm sure you could find a way to write it in.
-
So, final opinion: What seems to match the Yamato Garlands and Motoslaves better? A 1/18th CMs MOSPEADA or a 1/15th Megahouse?
-
I ordered mine from the Yamato-USA site. Says it's a March preorder. Of course, my Beagle/Toynami Cyclone was preordered from Robotech.com, and they shipped theirs like a week later than all of the online retailers.
-
Not that different, seeing as how any non-MOSPEADA Robotech characters were changed so that they no longer really looked like their Macross or Southern Cross counterparts. If you didn't know any better, never heard of Robotech, and watched the animation (forget the dialog) you could legitimately think this was MOSPEADA 2. The only thing that would have to be different would be that, you know, it would have to no suck.
-
That's the Super Cyclone and Devastator that I mentioned above (though it wasn't called Devastator in the original MOSPEADA designs, I'm sure).
-
I had similar hopes, though, realistically, I didn't believe that it would happen. That was my suspicion as to why it was made so New Gen-centric, with no recognizable non-MOSPEADA characters, so that it could be potentially marketed in Japan as a sequel to MOSPEADA. Maybe it would have, if it had been any good. I got into Megazone 23 and Bubblegum Crisis for the same reason, as MOSPEADAs cousins... lol
-
Was the Devastator Cyclone just created for the RPGs, or was it in the unproduced Artmic designs? I have a picture of a bunch of unused alternate MOSPEADA designs from Artmic, but it isn't in them. Actually, I found a Devastator picture that is Artmic signed and dated:
-
Sadly, whether they make a Beagle Devastator Cyclone or a Beagle Super Cyclone... I'll still buy it.
-
Is that the exact same chest piece?
-
I think this is what "inspired" Tommy Yune to make the Super Cyclone.
-
Hmm... looking at it closer... it's just a Beta/TLEAD/TREAD with some Invid/Inbit curves and weapons on it... Ok, I guess I buy that it's a Tommy Yune "design."
-
You sure? Because I like it, and I generally hate the derivative garbage he's done to Robotech.
-
I disagree. I think some people, like me, prefer to pay for a toy with actual playability, as opposed to a static figure.
-
Ok, the GR-002A is the military hover Garland... Yeah, I like those too.

I, sadly, don't know what either of those are... Google, ho!
-
You know, one I think A LOT of people would pay good money for, would be a Toynami Robotech Masterpiece (Gosamu) Invid Overlord. http://www.robotechresearch.com/rpg/mecha/...d_Overlord.html and http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=68 It actually looks fairly legit in all three forms, in my opinion.
-
HOTT
-
EXACTLY! I don't care about the box (unless it's something like Robotech Masterpiece). It can be in a ziplock bag for all that I care, as long as the TOY is complete and in good shape.
-
That's a good point. Though, hopefully, their coloring won't be too "cartoony," which is something that CMs has a tendency of doing, in my opinion.
-
CMs seems like the most likely bet, considering the thoroughness of their other offerings. Problem is, I've bought Toynami and Megahouse and Beagle... basically everyone BUT CMs...
-
That's what I thought. Thanks.
