robodragon Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Pssst.... Shadow fighter's don't have shoulder arrays. I know, but I thought it looked cool and the shoulder flap just looks like it's missing something with that hole in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I know, but I thought it looked cool and the shoulder flap just looks like it's missing something with that hole in it. Yeah, that always frustrated me about every Dark Legioss toy made... nobody bothered to just delete that flap. It's really easy to design away where it doesn't exist and fighter still looks good but nobody ever bothers... how sad. The good news though, while I may say shadow fighters have no shoulder array, in Shadow Chronicles some of the newer Shadow Fighters do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Hope so. Since I can't physically get to the shops till the 23rd i'm going to try to go online and order one. Asked Ren about a little shop in Osaka that might have them. That high price could be a blessing in disguise in this case. edit Just contacted Overdrive to see if they can reserve one for me for collection on Friday. Fingers-crossed I ordered the Toynami one, but I'm tempted on the Beagle for the Plaque and the box art (I can't help it, I'm a purist). Does Overdrive accepts Paypal, BTW? Edit: Thanks for the tip Jenius, I'll try to get an used one on the cheap to experiment with.

Roger Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, that always frustrated me about every Dark Legioss toy made... nobody bothered to just delete that flap.

The good news though, while I may say shadow fighters have no shoulder array, in Shadow Chronicles some of the newer Shadow Fighters do. I don't see how it could be "deleted" without changing several other parts. If that flap isn't there, you're left with a big open space behind the cockpit in fighter mode. I could see how they could have made it removable in battloid mode to make it look better, but then kanzen henkei goes out the window. The legacy of more "anime magic."

Instead of putting it on a hinge put that piece on two springs coming up from the inside or on a sliding mechanism that allows it to be depressed. Just don't have it connected to the intakes and there ya have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is there room to put it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 New Beagle pics It looks great! Can't wait to see the other ride armors! Though the Toynami MPC version will most likely be cheaper, I do prefer the head sculpts on the Japanese releases. The Tommy Yune-based sculpts are alright, but I want something closer to the original anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I don't get it, if the piece doesn't ride along attached to the intake from fighter to battloid, where does it go? Where is there room to put it? This is one of those conversations that sucks not to be happening in person holding an Alpha toy. I believe what you're saying is that, if that piece didn't flip over on one of the intakes then when you transformed the toy to soldier mode the canopy would knock against it and you'd be left with the nose pointing out more rather than going straight down the soldier's back. The easiest solution I can come up for that would be to simply put the piece on a spring (although a more secure plastic elevator would probably be more ideal). The spring would keep the piece elevated in fighter mode so it appeared to be the right height but it would then be depressed by the force of the canopy hitting against it.

jenius Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The Beagle is 1/10 scale, quite a bit larger than the Mega House or CMs Ride Armors but a hair smaller than the 1/8 Gakken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I kind of wish that the tyres on the Beagle were more matte and a little more rugged. Not a big problem though. Got my Beagle coming from Overdrive this week. Ghee-YAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidearmsalpha Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You're like my friend. He has things shipped to his job, so the wife doesn't complain about him getting stuff. He then sneaks things into the house and hides them in a closet or quickly puts them in his display case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Have you seen this one? Just as I thought... from the previous pictures when the Beagle was in hand, it didnt seem that much smaller than the reported 1/8 scale of the Gakken... I would say that the Gakken was 1/10 also except for the fact that the boots on the Beagle are undersized for rider mode ridabilty. That 1/8 scale is made up. Is it even on the box???

SuperHobo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I just got my beagle in the mail and I'm now fiddling with it. So far quality is pretty good and the packaging was very similar to a Yamato box (instructions taped to underside etc). I've noticed that the figure has a few problems. The neck while secure is a little loose and the swivel joint at the hip isn't as tight as I'd like. More to come. later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ok. I got my beagle and here are some quick comments I'd like to make about it. Good: 1. Quality is very high, joints are tight, knees and feet ratchet, paint is flawless and part fitment is good. 2. Some tampo printing throughout. 3. Good possibility in the legs and neck. 4. Bike is solid. 5. Rider on bike looks HOT! 6. display stand functions well and stores accessories. 7. Detail is fantastic! 8. Metal in the right places. 9. He can stand in armor mode! 10. Armored mode is fairly sturdy, but could be more secure. Bad: 1. Odd elbow joint that bends inward at certain angles. 2. Transformation is super complex and should be done very slowly. 3. Hip armor likes to pop out, but pops right back in. 4. Crotch armor also likes to pop out sometimes, but can also be popped back in. 5. Arm and shoulder possibility is limited in armor mode. 6. Back heavy, but that's expected. 7. Some parts made of plastic can be prone to breaking so handle with care. Overall I like it a lot. Its beautiful, but do handle with care so that was my 2 cents on the figure. I've taken some pictures below so enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I finding that the helmet is loose on both beagles when attached to the neck... Are anyone of you experiencing this problem? This a real solid toy for Beagle's first variable toy, where did these guys come from? I have to agree that elbow bend is really odd... bends inward. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just noticing the detail on the tail section of the bike... a peg that might be used to connect all sorts of optional accessories. So, I guess we should expect some accessory pack down the road. The only disappointment I have is the targeting visor which isn't what I was expecting but I could see why that wouldn't be so feasible in that scale. I think overall I'm glad I didn't invest on the MH and CM version of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
