The hips so easily 'gliding' to the out position cheeses me off. ZIP, zip, zip. Stay closed would you! Off color jokes would be too easy here. You guys know what I mean by the sliding hip joints? If that was fixed, make the hips pivot out (so you get a real A stance), add chest cover (that doubles as bomber behind-cockpit-gap filler; EXO - clear up your schedule for this) and add top missile pods --- the toy is a 10 out of 10. I do not mind adding landing gear when changing to idle bomber mode... As for Shadow Beta - 22 people will preorder. The rest will wait to see just how long they go over schedule, and how far the prices will drop on eBay...

Auction sites have made it so you can simply wait 2 years and almost be certain to get it new, at half price. Although -- when a great number of fans decide to go this route, companies often decide to not come out with anything else for that group of fans...

Changed modes to Battroid for the first time on the new TV Skull-1. Tight, tight, tight - EXCEPT - crotch assembly wants to keep popping out, which then opens up the whole back, and then the side covers pop out and the neck cover slides down. The door that shuts it closed just appears to not close tightly - any fixes? Washed hands well before handling but this valk feels like it needs white glove treatment...

Looks like Yamato got the Meltran pilot size / to suit size ratio correct to the line art. But it looks like overall both the Rau and pilot should have been larger compared to their Valks. This goes for their Regult as well. They did think of a clever way to avoid trying to get the pilot's legs into the Rau legs by enlarging the backpack and having her legs slide in there instead. I tried to mock it up in Photoshop, let me know if something looks off...

My green legioss was quite good actually. I say WAS because it was good last time I put it back in the package. When I take it back out the hands will likely crumble for no reason just like my blue. Checked Robotech.com and there is no mention of the Shadow Beta being green lighted at last...

Looking great! Why the chest cannons and tri-barrel lasers though? The Yamato has those, so are these just slight improvements to the existing? And if you paint the Yamato manipulators gray they look pretty darn good as well. Everything you're doing looks great, just curious about a few details is all...

I have it on a good source that Jenius has in fact gobbled up a MASSIVE Votoms toy collection in a very short time. So for any Votoms fan, or fan of collecting toy lines, his upcoming reviews should be a w e s o m e ...

A chest-cover that doubles as a bomber gap-filler? VERY COOL. There is certainly the talent on these boards to pull this off, they just need to the time and fans willing to buy a few. I'm in...

Got my TV Roy. Opening the box was sweet. Thought I would be blinded by the bright white but was not. Glad I sold my only DYRL valk though so the gray I loved is longer around for comparison. Now have the Vermillion Group, the 1D, CF-1A and Skull1. Will consider getting Cavalier and Alaska Base if they come with option parts. Just discovered something new about V2 valks - the red and blue shin lights actually lift up making it easier to lower the back landing gears? Nice - how I did not see this before is funny. These should be in the UP position though I assume for taxiing? Box photos still show rainbow canopy tint, guess they did not want to take new shots. Wish that did not rub off, I liked the canopy colors. Visor looked nicely green, not too black / dark as I feared. Recommend this figure... PS - Yamato, please do a line of 1/48 or 1/60 Legioss, think they would sell well for you...

Looks for real - very surprised. The included "Synchro Cannon" makes it slightly interesting. The yellow "fried egg eyes" really stand out in soldier mode - chest cover please. If I bite and get one it will be staying in bomber/fighter mode for sure... TOYNAMI ROBOTECH BETA FIGHTER VOLUME 04 After a long wait, Toynami will finally be releasing the final Beta Fighter. This version is done in the dark scheme of the fourth Alpha Fighter and comes with a brand-new Synchro Cannon. it is limited to just 3000 pieces, comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and is listed at $168.99, $31 below the MSRP.

The Beta HIPS slide in and out FAR too easy as well, Ooooo - and add the top shoulder missile bays. A chest cover would have been so easy for them to include too. They made a square cover where the connection-extender attaches - heaven's sake why not make the chest cover since all your prototype photos showed it that way anyway...
-
Where do those 'nozzles' go?
-
they're adding the option parts...

Love the exploding Shocker Trooper on the blue box. Thanks for posting these hi-res...

If Yamato really wants to sweeten the Phalanx pot they not only keep the 2 ground crew included theme, they include a little kit of a missile loader truck to get those nasty missiles into the arms. Speaking of ground crew, EXO's new avatar might make a great 1/60 driver for that missile loader truck...

Dear Yamato - Please TAKE YOUR TIME on the Phalanx kit, no need to rush...
-
Yeah - but does he drive it under those same type of skies??
-
Anything BUT Boring - breathtaking!
-
Get ready to take out a major loan then. The DMZs seem to be only gaining value... BRING ON THE REVIEWS JENIUS!
-
I would prefer 1/48 Wham Full Action Model - completed. I will not have time for kits for a long while. They could do all legioss and treads in soldier, then the GOSU etc etc. Wave does their completed kits with amazing, albeit expensive, quality and detail...
-
No worries there. They will literally be available for 30 years. Looks at the ancient Mospeada IMAI kits, you can almost get anyone of them at anytime on auction... All 4 original ride armors for less than 2,000 yen: http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-r89798202

The blue and red version boxes were much better than that IMO. This makes the greenie all fat and stumpy, and the thumbs up is total cheese - which can be amusing in say an avatar, but not in the middle of a massive space dogfight...

WORTH SEEING... http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_20419wt_883 EDIT -- Oh no - wait! This should not go here - but in Anime Science Fiction? Drat - very sorry. Only move it if you think its cool. Or delete it...

Megahouse SIRBINE - Have loved the pics of seen of this...
-
I think you might be in the minority. I saw it only once but have never wanted to see it again. By contrast I've seen Aliens like 10 times... But anyway - I would not go by Virgin Road for any cannon mechs or color schemes...
