Well, I ordered the Beta and the Maia Sterling Alpha and they arrived Wednesday. I can say as everyone else has said, the Beta is awesome. Yes, the hips are a little loose, but still, I like the toy.

Now for the Alpha, what a piece of JUNK! I opened the box, pulled out the plane and first off the paint is not gloss and does not have a smooth feel to it. That's makes sense because it is supposed to be a stealth fighter. I looked it over and noticed right away the glue spots below the intakes, but I figured I could deal with that because you don't see it unless you turn it over. So I decided to transform it, and it was very stiff, as if over glued. I moved the arms over and tried to fold them down for battloid mode, and one of them wouldn't move. I looked at the joint to make sure that there was something missing. I rotated it and some glue that was preventing it from moving finally let go, and under that was a mess, but I decided to continue on and try to fold it down again thinking I could move on. It was still stuck, so I applied more pressure. First the fore arm broke off, and then the sholder peeled right off as if it was made out of paper. The small hinge that allows the arm to fold down was glued solid.

Don't think I am just rough on my collection, I'm not. I am trying to get in contact with the seller of the item to see what can be done.

i have to say that i bought the new alpha and a green one and the green one came with so many flaws that it will be pointless to write them , but the new one compare to the green one only had been over glue in some parts that i easily clean up with a dremel , so no complaints about the last one

so i guess that everyone agrees now , toynami has the better beta version

Well then, you're probably not going to like that I did this:

I was too hung over to do anything but take and edit pictures today....

Click here for my next post and let me know if there are problems with the write-up, I don't think I'm as coherent as I normally am when I write those things.

Excellent review

yes the beagle looks just great , i cant wait to see a review about it

very good review even tough i would of give it a bit higher than 40.5

As i said from the very begining is way better than the CM version

I have both sets and i have to say toynamy is far way better than CM , i already transformed mine at least 30 times and no problems what so ever , the CM is also a good toy to have but the light way and the kind of plastic they use to me it makes it look cheap so in other words it comes to this

TOYNAMI :

diecast

plastic

12 " high

perfect conection link with the alpha

CM

plastic

10 " high

conection link to the alpha (actually there is none )

As i said before toynami did very good with this toy and since i have both versions toynami and CM , the toynami one is by far the better one

i have to say that this time toynami did good with this toy I already sold my CM version for $80

when are the other betas coming out??

IAM defenetelly getting the four betas

sorry for the triple post , but i will answer this before someone ask, yes i tried the link betwen the alpha and the beta , and the conection is very good even tough is not perfect but they can stick together whiout movement

The only flaws i can see on the toynami version is that the legs are sort of loose but its becuse they are very heavy (diecast) , the the best part is that they can blen perfectly with the old gakken alphas

here you have guys i finally got mine

this picture is awsome

Question, i noticed that you have masking tape on both legs why is that?

is it just me or does that thing look plain as all hell?

its funny that it took so long to make what looks to be the most simple toy ever.

I you think that is simple you should check the CM version , ill put my for sale on ebay soon

Hi everyone,

Well i got home and i found this on my door step. I mean the betafighter not the tv ben hehehehe. The only thing i don't like about this is the legs they are a bit loose but everything else is (Great). This piece is heavy and it's worth the money i spend on it. Just wanted to share this info.

SD

more pictures please!!!!!!

we need to see more pictures but so far i like it

can you please take a picture of the beta together with an old gakken alpha to compare the dimmensions , thanks

I found a nice video of the CM version

iam supposed to get mine on monday and i already have the CM version as soon as i get it ill take pictures

Still cm beta is not worth $300

That's why I compared it to a fixed model sheet. The CM's looks like that. The Toynami does not. The bomber cockpit completely misshapen in both modes. The legs are more primitively designed and the feet are a different shape entirely. The chest transformation is as primitive as the Lansay Tread. Honestly, the whole thing looks like an old Imai model than a modern toy.

I have to say that i own the CM version and it sucks it feels like a cheap toy all plastice not even worth buying it, i wouldnt mind paying $50 for it but it cost almost $300

I also just bought the toynamy version becuase acording to a friend of mine that own one already he says the only flaws so far is the paint , and he even said that you can put the old Gakken alphas next to him and ill look good (of course u cant link them )
