Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I wonder why Yamato chose the 1/15 scale. 1/12 would've been better size and sales-wise since the Garland is also 1/12. I hope someone picks up the glove soon. In a way, I'm relieved that the Aoshima is a model kit, means there's still chance of having some nice Motoslaves in that scale in the future.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 D'oh! You're right. Sorry. Damn! Now I'll have to reconsider Yamato's Motoslaves. I like all my transforming bikes in scale. So, all four Motoslave releases have the falling limb issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) All mine do That blows. If the metallic finished Priss has revised joints I might consider getting one, since the Motoslave is supposed to be shiny anyway and who knows when we'll see another manufacturer's version.

thegunny Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yamato should include a jar of Vasoline with each figure. At least that way it will make the shafting a bit easier to take These 4 figures (and the Sky Girls Ra-jins) have cured me of the need to buy any toy of a transforming nature for a long long time . Static figures and scale models for me from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would love to get these at some point in my life. Garland as well... But I think I'd need to watch the anime and fall in love with it first. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 its amazing how a paint job affects the overall presentation. Im almost thinking I can get past the 'parts-former' side of its nature..... argh! Mind you, Im starting to not want my megahouse mospeadas for that very reason... my nature doesn't seem to agree with the pull apart - reconstruct idea, and especially with it being a small fiddly sounding figure...... but geez i want a motoslave !! lol all parts get reused though, right? no leftoevers?

miriya Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 What hoops do we have to hurdle in order to grasp at this limited edition? Anyone know?

The hobbysearch store I linked above is one of the "usual suspects", so it looks like it will be generally available but don't expect reissue, like the 1:48 VF-1 low-vis.

emerson Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have the original set of BGC figures without the motoslaves, and noticed Nene's armor is red/pink. In the new release, it is blue/pink. Can someone remind me where the different color schemes come from? Is it a Bubblegum Crisis versus Crash difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I believe that the red pink suit is from 2040. The blue/pink is from the original BGC. I was trying to find some reference pictures as all my books with color BGC art are far, far away... amazing how hard it is to find decent BGC pictures online, considering how popular it used to be. Anyways, there were two versions of the Hard Suits used in the original OAV. The blue/pink suit is the original hard suit design, the red/pink is the second that was shown in episode 8. What makes it confusing is that 2040 used the same designs as the second version, so the same designs were used in both episode 8 of the original OAV and the TV series.

Did the red/pink version stay on for Bubblegum Crash? Was there a reason for the change (upgraded suit?) or just a random change with no explanation? Just curious...

Was there a reason for the change (upgraded suit?) or just a random change with no explanation? Just curious... I believe the suits from Crash were different, probably because of the legal issues that caused the end of Bubblegum Crisis. It's hard to get solid info on it, but Bubblegum Crisis was originally owned by two companies, ARTMIC and Youmex. Disagreements between the two of them caused Crisis to end short of it's intended 13 episode length. I suspect the suits were changed was just a typical mid-series upgrade, keeping in mind that Crisis was supposed to run for another five episode after Scoop Chase.

Zx31 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Received all four of my Motoslaves from Lost and Found Toys today. While there are some legitimate issues that others have brought up, I am enjoying the figures and, for a fan of the series, think that it was money well spent. Slightly annoying that the metallic version is being released now, but the current gloss paint job doesn't look nearly as bad in person as it does in the photography. A little clear nail polish tightened up some of the loose forearms on the hardsuits but other than that I haven't had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerson Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've noticed that the paintjobs on the newer Knight Saber figures are slightly more anime accurate than those on the previous ones, but are they different in other respects?

Sam Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 but, why would they? We all know the sabres suits are 'So much more advanced than our own K12 Units' hehehe. Did you notice if the madman release was edited at all or toned down? Seems theres some spots that 'skip' a bit, dunno, might be just me and my crazy settling in again..
