Axelay Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 For those waiting on CollectionDX's vid review of the Mospeada just want to let you know it will be a fore more days. It's a my first time using the HD camera so it's got a bit of a learning curve. I promise it will be worth the wait. Very much looking forward to seeing this review.

Twoducks Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Wow, has this thread grown!! Good to read the Toynami Beta doesn't explode. CM's robot mode beats it hands down in my book but the link up mode belongs to the Toynami. Jenius, or anybody else,: how does the CM Alpha look attached to the Toynami Beta? Can it be done? Now for the other part of this thread: That Beagle looks AWESOME! The only thing that makes it loose points for me are the tiny shoes and the head sculpts (both Toynami and Beagle). The Megahouse did a better job on capturing Stick and Rey/Ley. Just an excuse to hold off getting one... for now. Any news of Beagle/Toynami committing to produce Lancer and Rook? The idea of the full cast could push my wallet over the edge right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of the full cast could push my wallet over the edge right now Supposedly they're committed to make Rand/Ray, then Rook/Houquet and then Lancer/Yellow. We've only seen prototypes of the Rand/Ray-type MOSPEADA so far, so hopefully in some of the upcoming toy shows we'll start seeing the Bartley, depending on how quick Toynami wants them released I guess! Fortunately, the transformation should be the same, it's just redesigning the exterior basically. And the Bartley and Blowsperior in some ways are simpler than the MOSPEADA since they're "older" designs. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Uh... shouldn't the CMs and MH scales be reversed? haha... I don't think Jenius knows what scale is... he marks the Gakken as 1/8 and the Beagle 1/10 even though the only size difference is the boots.

I don't think Jenius knows what scale is... he marks the Gakken as 1/8 and the Beagle 1/10 even though the only size difference is the boots. Don't blame me, blame Gakken and/or Beagle as they're the ones who make the claims, I just report them. Edited January 27, 2009 by jenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame me, blame Gakken and/or Beagle as they're the ones who make the claims, I just report them. BTW, while we're on the subject of fixing things The title of the review for the Beagle says it's a "VR-21", unless you know something I don't know, it should be VR-052, or VR-052F if you are really picky (since Ray/Ley/Rand's will be different).

Vostok 7 Yep, I'll bet I screwed that up too. I was probably editing a pic and looking at the big 21 on Stick's helmet while I was writing the review. Two corrections to make tonight.

RavenHawk Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My gf saw my blue Alpha arrive from my eBay purchase, then sit there on the dining room table next to my Shadow Alpha and linked up to my blue Beta, and said that I should collect all the colors... ... and I had just decided to only collect blue and Shadow mecha...

woll622 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My wife just laughs and shakes her head that a 35 year old would go gaga over toys. What can I say, I've been hooked since I was 11. So I have been indoctrinating my 8 year old and 6 year old sons so they have a quicker start than I had! Gotta teach them while their young.

Alex Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hmmm. I actually quite like these book-style boxes for the Cyclone. BTW, the crotch on my Beagle is starting to tear a little. More accurately, the red is peeling of the white cloth underneath. I think I went a little too far with the hip articulation. Somehting to be careful.
