GobotFool Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'll make you a deal.......if I do not like the CM's......I will sell mine to you. But you know deep in your heart you will love them. Finally ride armor that is in scale with your GI-Joes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm glad I preordered my Stick CM quite some time ago . I'll be happy with my CM until Beagle releases theirs. Then I will have to make a choice between MH and Beagle (that might be tough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know....I have'nt owned any G.I. Joes since I was like 8 (WOW that was almost 21 years now). I have been looking at getting some of the 25th anni. figs. If I do......do you think my ride armor will fit them??? I would love to put Scarlett on the back on one of those bikes anyways....and just think how cool SnakeEyes would look with ride armor.

danth Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm in love with the CMs. I could do without the seam in the chest, and the ankle area is a bit weird, but the overall proportions are perfect. Bike mode looks hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't LOS get his stuff shipped to him by boat though and then ship it out to you guys? I didn't feel like waiting another month so I paid a premium. I'll probably do the same thing with the MH toys. Thank God it's tax return time... The dollar continued to plummet against the Yen. We were at 105 for a while today before climing into the 106s again. I believe it was 123 back in June or July. That's what, like 14%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha OTS Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 SaveRobotech, awesome pics. I have to ask: first, how did you get an Aoshima with what looks to be good QC, and second, how did you get that same figure to raise it's gun without the arm falling! I really like the look of the CMS and the scale next to the Toynami. Just to refresh, this is the smallest scale ride armor coming out, right? I have trouble picturing it smaller, but you never know.

Save Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) So are all those marking stickers or are they painted onto the toy? Those are not stickers, they are TEMPO pressed or what ever they are called. I'm curious about the tightness of the figure. Maybe SAVEROBOTECH could shed some light on the matter The Rey figure has pretty tight arms, hips and knees, the head and feet are not as tight since they need to be positoned when monted on the bike. SaveRobotech, awesome pics. I have to ask: first, how did you get an Aoshima with what looks to be good QC, and second, how did you get that same figure to raise it's gun without the arm falling! I didn't it the same one I reviewd when it cam out. It has a bent wing that you cant see since it is in robot mode, look at the leg the missle hatches fell off. As for the arms they are pretty tight and I darn not transform the POS, but I ended up finding an MPC for like $40 in a shop so I just dispaly both modes. I'm just waiting for SAVEROBOTECH to do some sort of a review. Anything would be nice. Anything. Review: Well what you see is what you get really. For the price it's an iffy buy. You will be disappointed at first, then frustrated then like an ugly puppy dog it starts to grow on you once you stat posing it . The toys best mode is armor mode if you want to play with it, in bike mode it looks nice but doesn't roll well or at all. The front end of the bike is the toys weakest point of design. The shocks mount to the front via removable pegs that are either too short or don't stay in the slots to keep the front end stable. If you are like me you can look around your room or old model kits and make it work. If you are a display kind of guy it's nice but if you are looking to go into a GIJoe battle in the back yard you just bought yourself a lemon. My verdict is I like it don't love it but I'll keep it, but if the MG delivers I'm not going to need this guy.

misterryno Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 SaveRobotech, Thanks for the review mate. Wham...bam...thank you mamm...that's the way I like it. I am both of what you said....I like to play and display. I am sure these guys will do me fine until the MH's arrive...then I bet I'll sell of these little boys. THANKS again for the quickie.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Looks like these CMs will sell pretty cheap once the competition hits the market, MH or Beagle. We better go easy on these little fellas for now as they're so steep and in such high demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 hmmm based on that I'm gonna skip the CMs... I'll proabably end up getting one but cant wait for the Beagle one to come out. If that one blows me away, I might skip the MH which already look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rei Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the review. They look really fun and the transformation seems to largely resemble the old skool Gakken. It's a tough call to decide because while I prefer the overall look of MH (and still waiting for pics of the Beagle model), the durability seems better here with this CM version. It looks like a real toy that can be handled somewhat normally. Enjoy man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I want to see riders in full speed mode. Like arching their backs towards the console. That's what i want to see from both CM and MH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I will eventually get some. He said he "liked it" but "didn't love it". Just don't know when I will get them. I am about to buy a SV-51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasis Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Man, am I glad I didn't have to choose between MH and CMS (I preordered the MH ones from HLJ awhile back, while my wife surprised me on x-mas day with CMS preorders for both Stick and Rey)! There's so much to love about both company's offerings, especially since: Mospeada is one of my favorite anime of all time and I've been waiting for these toys for oh, 18 years or so. Heh. A modern ride armor figure of any kind has been my holy grail for ages, and now we get to choose between 4 different companies having a go at it. I may just end up getting them all...
