misterryno Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 yeah, but it doesn't have the bonus of being non-transformable! Just imagine how just AMAZINGLY AWESOME they could be.

do not disturb Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 got my MH ride armors yesterday and i'm stoked! while they're a bit flimsy and parts were falling off(better than breaking off) during the transformation process, these are pretty frickin cool. my gripes are the stupid purple visor on the helmet(someone please cast these in blue) and the headlight part not locking in correct in armor mode. i know theres a little nub there and you can sort of make it lock into place but its off by a milimeter or so. its kind of lame that it can't stand on its own and it doesn't help that the stand itself is pretty useless. whatever the case they were totally worth the money IMO.

I am considering making it so that my visors do not open and painting them black like the prototype pics from before. Are you pressing the headlight up in the right direction? It took me a minute or 2 to get it right. And I must say about the worth the money part....INDEED I can't wait for the rest of the figs to come out.

Hmmm....well then....sorry that your headlight assembly does'nt lock....that sucks I did'nt get any decals either. In fact I don't care if I do get any unless they are waterslide or any at all if they tampo print more on the rest of the figs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilermo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Still waiting for my stick from maybang But my gakken cyclone arrived today bought it off ebay from some Italian dude voor about 65 bucks.. It has amazingly tight joints stickers unaplied as if it just came out of the box. Never had such a good one. I got my gakken, i am getting the rest of the MH and the beagle versions, maybe the toynami versions to, then my ride armor hunger is finaly satisfied (after 15 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's Blues Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have decide to sell my MH set. It's listed on ebay. Link in sig. Stick was opened and transformed once. Rey is still MISB. The MH is a fine sculpt. I just wish the scale was larger. Anywho, I am going to sell mine and wait to see how the beagle looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you come across another deal like that PLEASE PM me! Congrats my man. I am expecting to see some pics in the new "Strike A Pose" Mospeada Version. I consider myself extremely lucky, I think it is the fact that it had to be shipped from Europe, not many Americans want to take that chance. I live in Europe so no problem for me shipping was about 15 bucks. The show hardly aired here, only in england and france. I Had to watch Superchannel (an an englisch channel) this was pretty expenceive back then so hardly any Dutch youth saw the show. Consider myself lunky again I possed some picks in the stike-a-pose mospeada version... Edited March 21, 2008 by gilermo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurius Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) I truly love these MH figures, and i havent even Transformed them yet!!! They seemed a bit smaller than i thoughed, but then, its about same size as some of my other figures, and if you want to display with your valkiries and other toys, it would look weird if it were too big. Anyways, i am getting the other 2 characters when they come up. Thank You MH for getting me a toy i really love and can pose nicely. Oh, and i have the stickers!!! Havent applied anything yet, but just realised there was a sticker/decal of glasses and mustashe!!! Damn, do i need another Scott???

I am considering a mod for the ride armor mode of the MH's. I am thinking of modding it to be similar to the CM's as in where the RA connects to the rider at the crotch.

promethuem5 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm pretty satisfied with how the MH Ride Armor connects after transforming it again last night... I'm trying to figure out what it'll take to make some kind of clip-on heel spur to fix the balance issue even for a normal person figure there in reality isn't quite enough heel, and this problem is way compounded by the armor... I can get it into a standing pose or two, but they've all got to have at least some lean to shift the weight enough... the figure is really incredible and fun, but just needs some more footprint.

Hmmmmm.....how secure is your armor on the rider? Mine is "secure" just moves a little here and there when I am posing. I would like if the connectors that go under his arms snapped in or just did not slide out so easily. EDIT----> I'll try to think of something for the "balance".

promethuem5 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 As far as I can tell the under-arm clips don't click in or anything, and that might be the issue... maybe if they secured a little tighter it would be better? The armor's not falling off or anything, just sometimes the clips work their way out... And yeah, the feet are just kinda off... the toes extend, but not the heels, which is like they sort of knew it had balance issues but didn't actually manage to correct them.

Yeah...that is exactly what I am talking about when it comes to the under arm attachments I'll need to work on this a bit. About the feet....I know they knew about the balance. They must have thought "ohh....well...we'll just include a stand and that will correct the problem" thinking that we are all just gonna LOVE the stand and not care that we can't pose them correctly without it. That erks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i wish the MH ride armor were screwed together instead of glued together. if it were screwed, i know could open it up and work some magnet magic to make it more sturdy in armor mode. the cod piece on the bike and the crotch on the figure would be good spot to attach some magnets. another good spot would be inside the engine and the back of the figure. i'm not ready to start dismantling anything just yet(its too new to mess with) but i'm sure i'll get to it eventually. i'll have to open up those areas and see what i'm working with and order the proper size magnets.

That is an excellent spot for the mags. Good idea. I don't think I'll be opening anything up anytime soon. I'm too much of a noob at all that. If you do find the correct sizes mags. for a good price let me know. I am thinking of having the mags on the outside of the figure because of my noobiness(word?). We'll see.
