yeah i guess it is. i've 2 revy sabers already, yet this Figma Saber looks so much better!! i'm gonna be very broke this year. interested in Figma's Saber, Rin, Haruhi, Lucky Star Revy's Macross lineup, Gurren Lagann, Street Fighter, Fist of North Star, etc etc etc.... arrrrhhhgggghhh

is the cross on your revol Rin a little bit too low on the chest? it is from the pics i saw, and v disappointing. considering MaxFactory's Figma Rin instead (since i already pre-ordered Figma Saber)

hmm this pic shows an 'ok' (but still ugly) seam line on the right arm, and the left upperarm seam line looks like its splitting already. hope i'm wrong... since this might be an early prototype. but then Stick is supposed to hit the stores now... >.<

oh sh*t! i think it will be a problem. look at stick's upper arm! its the same split. >.<

according to this (bottom of page talks about CM's), the dark legioss is so far not even planned for release, and probably might depend on the sales of the other 3 legioss/tread sets. also, the legioss will get a smoked canopy instead of clear canopy.

Thanks for the pix and link! I want them now too I love the ending camping scene they made... Happy day for Mospy fan~~~!! weee!!~~~ ditto... My wishlist... I also want Mint pillon on Rey's bike too. Major Jonathan... but its actually Stick with the decals (notice the toy is on top of the decal). I really hope to be able to get the decals... BTW, did anyone notice the ugly seam line on Yellow's upper arm? looks worrying... hope its not a quality issue and gets split after some time.

October: Hypnos + Scorpio/Libra Appendix; hmmm, IMHO the last few seem unlikely? esp with this Oct list, Hypnos is expected to be somewhat same hefty price as Thanatos, and they probably will not release it with other Myth Cloth/Appendix product or they'll risk either one not selling well. And for 'Hilda premium', do u mean something like Pandora and Hades Shun? Those release in Sep in the past, but so far we have no news at all. But it'd be an interesting release... (Although i bought my unofficial Hilda already ) ---------------------------- Saint Seiya news from Figure Ou 121 Credits: Sorrento from all4seiya Notice Thanatos come with a harp!! http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii67/iSorrento/1-4.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii67/iSorrento/2-4.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii67/iSorrento/3-3.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii67/iSorrento/4-2.jpg

Regult comes with (optional?) missile pods!!!! WEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~~!!! EDIT: Regult is revoltech No:051, so expected date of sale is may 15th!

That Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann looks huge!! and also the official website hints several new "families" including a section for huge sized revoltechs... i guess this is the one! really alot of exciting revoltech items!!

FSS fanatic reporting. the english version is thinner than the japanese ver (usually 2-3 eng ver book = 1 jp tankouban) 2 types of english versions, distributed by: 1. Kinokuniya - staple bound books 1-12 (approx equivalent to jp vol5) 2. Diamond - square bound books 1-26 (approx equivalent to jp vol10)

Stick's face is somewhat anime accurate, while Rey's face don't look anywhere near accurate. Then of cos there's the gun and forearm missiles for Stick, and 'only' the forearm beam gun and no handheld gun for Rey which makes the Rey box feel lesser. Other than these differences (and markings ), they're really the same thing. i got Rey because he's my fav character, and IMO Stick is a must if u want a Mospeada.

no more Wonderfest sale of the Green Iota. (refer to CM's website:Link) u can still pre-order from the website (Japan mail address only ) though. And the 100pcs WonderFest exclusive Mospeada is still up.

So far the only female character in the Myth Cloth line is Pandora... I suppose she's some sort of a test product? hope that we get Athena or Marin or Shaina soon... but then, there are lots of others - Hypnos, Asgard, Marinas to complete too >.<

just read about the delay for Megahouse's might be due to licensing problems. if that's true, it might explain why MH's is at the Toynami booth in the toy show. being affected by some licensing issue in another country, and delaying my dream toy from my favorite anime... is getting me real mad!!! And the license is for Robocrap Robotech, what has it got to do with Mospeada?!!... grrr HG is really trying hard to get fans to hate them and RT

oh well, i guess nightmare has a point regarding mospeada & not robotech references. anyway, the rifle hard-point is in the original animation too. I hope MH's can be fitted this way but so far no pix of this. Beagle's seem to be possible according to their CAD pix. As for the box, its really confusing and lazy of them to use the same box, and just a sticker over the name for Rey's box. have seen this comment in several boards/reviews too.

jenius > very detailed review and nice pix the headlights were in sensor mode for both of my CM's too. BTW, Rey Ray Ley Lay there's no saying which is the right one because the original name is written in japanese. There's no official english name. i thought most japanese anime fan would've gotten used to it...

hmm OT for abit, for Bubblegum Crisis fans, Yamato coming out with this toy. Personally, i feel that the figure looks awesome! but the bike is too plasticky, they dont really compliment each other. what a pity. The figure's probably worth it though... 1/15変形 モト・スレイヴ（プリス）発売日　2008年5月 予定 予価　 7,140 円（本体価格：6,800 円） -------------------------------- Back on topic BTW, can anyone recommend any books on Mospeada? There's a fairly new book with some mecha (including mospeada) art: http://www.hlj.com/product/FTB30009

Very interesting, thanks for your reply. It's really a pity that the show had to end abruptly and it seems like we don't even have any explanation by the directors? and i like your idea of season II. Of course, if there were to be eps 24 and more, the ending will not be like this, but why would we have Jeanne as the antagonist in season 2? She's our heroine~! Or maybe during the conflict with the newly arrived Liberte troops, she somehow managed to shake off her biohumanly controls just like Seifried, and then turn on the Zor. There were 3 Zor looking like older versions of Dess? Could they be the supreme commanders even superior to Dess? They can fill the role of the ultimate 'baddies' to beat. sorry i couldn't remember many of the names , and the fansite (www.artemisgames.com) don't work now. Any other southern cross / mospeada fansites to recommend? EDIT: Who are these? sucks that ADV edited the ending, and they didn't even have any ending credits for this episode

ZZ is hugely disappointing. lets see if they will re-do it, but i'd prefer a much more in-depth take on CCA, and also the events before and after it.

gotta say im quite disappointed with the CM's Mospeadas - they're flimsy. u'd probably drop pieces all over when u try to transform it, so it makes no difference for the so-called "PT" - they're dropping anyway . In bike mode, the wheels don't turn when u put in the forearm/hip armors. And why didn't they come up with something to at least stop the headlights from flipping all the time. The hands keep falling off too (esp the right hands) and thanks to all the reviews, i was extra careful with the windshield. There's a problem with my Stick's left wheel (ride armor mode) - the screw at the joint is very loose and i couldn't tighten it. i didn't transform my Rey. being disappointed with the quality for this high price, i don't know if i should be a completist and get blowspieror and the red one (are they coming out with one?)

duh, thats what u get for Robotech infiltration... (even though i didn't watch much robotech) thanks for the correction. edited.

ok, some considerations regarding the ending - The flowers have some effect on the humans/Zor but only for a period of time as seen in the case of those Zor who had lost one of their trinity and are low in their bio-energy, i.e. they will slowly but surely regain their own individuality and emotions. Unless their bio-energy is being constantly supplied. Regarding the flowers, do they affect living beings directly or did the Zor, thru their technology, somehow channeled the flowers' essence to produce bio-energy? It seemed to me it is the latter, because of all those high-tech stuff used by the Zor. However, there is one scene on Gloire where they show some pinkish rabbit-looking animal and there are three of them, suggesting direct influence by the flowers? On the other hand, when Jeanne and others were in the cave, the flowers didn't seem to affect the humans that much. Later when Seifried shot the first of the Dess trinity, Jeanne caught hold of the flower in the glass capsule, that was when she saw those illusions in her head. This is the reason why my opinion is that the Zor had to make use of some technology before they can channel the flower's energy. And finally there's the Zor ship debris falling into the protozor flowers pit. Did it spread the seeds or destroyed them all (if not most)? Does the ending scene showing the petals mean that the flowers were being seeded? Why didn't they show the seeds instead if that were the case? Conclusion: In order for all people on Gloire to be affected by the flowers to become Zor: 1. Flowers must affect humans directly, and not by the use of some hi-tech device 2. Debris did not destroy the flowers 3. Flowers were seeded abundantly so that the supply is enough for everyone to stay influenced by the flowers My view: 1. Flowers' effects on humans are only via some device 2. Debris probably destroyed much of the flowers 3. Flowers were not seeded since it was the petals that were seen but no seeds. Didn't matter if the flowers were seeded anyway if point #1 is true. I'd like to think that the ending suggests that the Zor threat is no more, n because of the low supply of bio-energy, the Zor are starting to become 'normal' humans again, and are able to co-exist with the Gloirians (humans). ------------- Other interesting point: The story tries to tell us that the Zor trinities somehow are linked and "know" what their counterparts think and feel. However at the end, Bowie and Musica mentioned that they understood how each other felt, and also Jeanne said she knew how Seifried was feeling (revenge at all costs). So are the script writers trying to tell us that we don't need the flowers to become trinities so as to understand each other? All they need is love... Ok that sounded cheesy lol... but I kinda like the way how it was brought out ..

yeah, they're coming out at the same time. along with alot of other higher priced collectibles... for me, March is really a killer... Myth Cloth Thanatos (more expensive than normal myth cloth), 24k Gold Pegasus (hope i can get one), SIC Shadow Moon... really crazy month for my wallet

its true. blue eta - delayed till end march green iota - delayed till mid april, website pre-orders started red zeta - limited quantity sale, details to be announced green iota comes with mini-figures of Rey Type Mospeada n Yellow's Blowsperior http://www.cmscorp.jp/products/img/bgex01_regios/l15.jpg
