eugimon Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 so I emailed toynami and asked about the head sculpt, their reply: Thank you for your inquiry. However we haven't released any pictures of the green Alpha head sculpt. Best regards, Customer Service Toynami Inc which is so odd, cuz what was that photo then???

mechaninac Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I wouldn't fret over the green Alpha's head sculpt overmuch. The head on the super poseable looked dead-on, so there is no reason to believe that they'd make it inaccurate on a flagship item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Aw, c'mon Exo. We sat through the boring panel at AX not at SDCC. If it's the winner from Con then that means it's that old lady that complained that she couldn't hear the numbers. Damn. I would have kept it as it's pretty much guaranteed to have the early run variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Nope. I sat thru the RT panel again on Thurs at SDCC, before you guys got there. The guys that won it was part of the NO MA'AM contigency... The old lady didnt even know what was being raffled... I don't even think she knew were she was and what the SDCC was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 So the alpha/Legioss is coming out this week? Great... just when I spent $500 on my car for maintenance... Oh well... After watching the 15 episodes of Mospeda, I want the alpha. But if it is dissapointing, I will be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtStick Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I'm sure someone will have a thorough review up by Friday. Also rumor has the second volume is due out October/November of this year.

Mechafan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Dude, why sit there as a Robotech fan, win something decent related to Robotech, to just get rid of it. Fanboys. I'll never understand them. I know what you mean. I went to Otakon and the guy behind me won one. My ticket was one number off. I know that one is not going to get sold. Bets to believe I would keep it and have review up. I did get a chance to hold one. I liked it very much. Tom transformed it several times during the pannel to show this one is ment to be played with. It has some good weight to it.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I knew it, I swear I knew it! By the way, Graham. What kind of shipment do you commonly use when you order a toy from the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I will make stickers for the Alphas as soon as I get the toy. Ohhh, that's sweet! Just got a quick question from you, will it be Legioss style stickers from Genesis Climber Mospeada OR Alpha style stickers from Robotech? Me, I'd prefer Legioss stickers, rather than Alpha stickers that have Robotech influences or any links to Robotech. In other words Gakken Legioss stickers, so I can pretend that it's a Legioss from Mospeada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Like the MPC VF-1's and old reboxed by Matchbox Gakken Alpha's, they'll have the same stickers as the Mospeada versions (based off the Imai decal sheet IIRC). Might not be so Robotech (Mars Base instead of REF) but it's all part of Toynami's claim to produce toys that are as they are seen on screen, which means Mars Base M's instead of REF. And yes I'm sure some will point out that Alpha/Legioss on screen didn't have even a 1/4 of the stickers/decals of the toys and models Cyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Oh, okay. I just wanted to make sure, as I never owned any Legioss, models or other wise. Hey does someone have the Legioss model's decal guide, and can they scan a pic of it? Then they can share with those who's getting an Alpha so we have a good idea where to place those stickers that takatoys will make, or will he include a copy with his set? I just don't like the way Toynami has some of them placed and I want a second better option of placement. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
