The technique for the art is great - as always - but yes, I would not recognize this as Rand/Ray at all.

How many people surfing here have NOT bought an awesome Revoltech Regult yet? It's darn affordable, tons of tampo-printing and fun like heck to pose. Probably too many have not bought. That's why I'm worried Yamato won't do the Regult. I have only one Revy Regult but plan to get 2 more and would do at least the same with the 1/60 line. My vote is in . . .

DUDE - this looks great. What scale is this? I would not do the broken face shield. I think it would distract too much. Just test a few pieces of clear with tint and wait to see what they do. Are you going to have him standing victorious over the burning mass of a 1A CF?

If you're tracking requests I'm in for a few . . .

What happened to the Revy line? Are they done after the M&M versions? Did they not sell well enough for a Glaug or Max 1A? Not only are my Regult and 1J not in the trash - they're one of my favorite things to tinker with . . .

I see they're at $30 now with lots of interested parties - congrats. It's always a good feeling when you put something up to have several bidders driving up the price.

Thanks - I'll check them out. For your sake I hope they go for well over $20 each - and I bet they will . . .

As a Beagle only buyer so far I keep looking at eBay and other places to see how low the MH versions will go. I'm thinking I may buy at $20 each new if they ever reach that point. They look fun and I would not feel guilty about weathering them at that price point. But with all the negative I've heard, anything over $20 seems to be over-paying. & They'll do the Fuke eventually I bet . . .

Just freakin amazing. I've got to find a few spare months or talk you into building me one . . .

SPEECHLESS - simply amazing! Jealous of your time -- and your talent!

My expectations for the Phalanx and the 'extras' are going up and up the longer I wait . . .

Humble apologies - I did think that those were wings. I will look more closely at the lineart to understand those pieces. Surprised they kept them on since they're not integral and they look so bad . . .

DUUUUUDE - that's sweeet, the crooked license plate makes it for me . . .

As someone who has not seen much of the anime (other than the original) I have to say the VF-2SS blows away the more constantly seen (in toy form) YF-19 and YF-21. Those wings in battroid kill me. It's like they forgot about them until the end and said -- just let them hang off. I have not seen that anime but do they grow new ones? Because they would snap off in 1.2 seconds in actual battroid combat. I always think - "Gee, those fighters must have done something great in the anime cuz the designs suck". And equally - "Gee, that Mac II must have sure sucked for people to hate on that design". I know folks will see this comparison pic and still like the 21 better. And I will be shaking my head and wondering if they're seeing the same Go-Bot design I'm seeing. Your winning YF-19/YF-21 argument against me is 'see the shows then you'll know' I guess . . . (Ooooo - and on topic I hope Yamato does a 1/60 VF-2SS)

To be getting Ride Armors and Beta Fighters in 2009 in just amazing when you think about it. I'm sure you all have. And I'm extremely grateful that companies like Yamato and Beagle are catering to this segment. People always post complaints and then there are the inevitable slew of counter-posts saying there should be no complaining - we should all just 'count our blessings'. Both posts are OK. Without them there would not be much to talk about. I personally would not allow myself an criticisms if the toys were $30 - $40 bucks. But the higher the price goes the less guilty I feel about being nit-picky . . .

I think I have only seen the Beagle Fuke sculpt on Yacolog. These 2 pics here are of the Beagle, just at different angles - correct? Where can we see the early Toynami version?

This comparison pic helps me appreciate the Beagle head sculpt more. The MH and CMs are pretty much Matchbox quality. This next one is going to be fun to talk about. I bet Beagle's sales for the Fuke version are going to be though the roof . . .

GREAT SHOT! I did not realize that two bars could go on one stand . . .

BINGO. The Regult especially has very nice tampo detail. But I do realize these are the coolest Mospeada toys ever so I don't want to come off as a whiner. Since this is Mospeada News - are you guys aware of the Garfish model that's supposed to be available soon? I do have some other details but I'm still very sketchy at this point. Check out the pic below. This was part of the modeling thread of MW . . . http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...7453&st=480

I can't find the pics on these posts now but I saw a few Beagle pics back in the day with the "Stick Stickers Stuck On" (say that 5X fast). They seemed to look all milky and too thick if that makes sense. Don't like them. AND ANOTHER THING - I was just looking over my Revoltech Regult and VF-1J. Anyone know what I'm about to say concerning the tampo-printing on these compared to the $200 Beagle?

Those good ol' paintings are awesome. They don't seem to make them like that anymore (although I do love the modern style illustrations on the new Rey box). I said this before but I'm still looking up at my Yamato 1D with gobs of perfect tampo-printing. It has a complex transformation and fairly high price point - quite like these Beagles that feature almost no printing. Maybe it will just take Beagle some time in the toy market to catch onto these details.

Cool find. Do you have a bigger pic of this one?

Oh - I should have re-posted the pic since it was back a few pages. Can someone give a link to where this was talked about originally? I want to make this very talented soul an offer to custom build me one . . .

Uh - Enjoy??? WAAAAAAAAAIT a second! Buried in all the wonderful Optimus Prime praise (and it deserves it) is something I veeeerrrry cool! I need to know more about this Garfish. Someone else asked for a ruler so we can see scale -- and about availability?!? Please give more info! (and I apologize if its somewhere else I haven't seen yet)

Well, I wouldn't want "YELLOW" printed on the VR-051 fuel tank, but some of these other markings could have been nice pre-printed. . .
