EXO Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah... at least... I'm sorry that forum you prefer with the lousy server and less info can't be more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'd post there more often, but there doesn't seem to be much info coming from RT.com lately and their site keeps crashing. I'm glad we at least have this forum! I prefer this forum about a thousand times over, but that seemed to be the most appropriate place to ask when the Toynami Beagle would finally ship out!

Any gd suggestions?? Edited February 4, 2009 by eyesonme78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrF8Y3qiMnc Always a good informative video from Collection DX!! But I gotta say that transformation process looks a bit tricky, makes the old Gakken type like I have seem pre-historic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.chogokin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, the CDX video review is excellent. The transformation isn't too messy even. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be one heck of a ride armor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 He did get one thing wrong in the review. It actually IS possible to put Stick in the armour without removing the helmeted head. All you have to do is open the visor and put him in at a slight angle. Works no problem for me and does not scratch in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Atom said there's no indication of their being POM on the packaging, however if you look at the bottom of the box with all the materials it lists ABS, PVC and POM. So that super tough grey plastic is probably POM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyness Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 the Beagle scores points for the hbt cell coming out of the feul tank just tried it today,and replaced it with the other hbt cells(and here I was thinking that they were just for display) nice work Beagle...just fix those heads, screw hole in neck,different cloth and some tighter friction points on the bike..eg feul tank to seat connection and I,ll buy the Ray!!

Though i'm not happy that the tread is so sparse. I really want to replace those tyres with something more like the MH's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The collectiondx video review got taken down... I hope because they're going to transform it with the head on. I'd rather see someone else do it so I can correct my review also instead of having to dig the toy out and do it myself . Yeah, I'm feeling lazy.

Remember that you have to open the visor first and angle it in. At least that's the only way i could do it. You can see that they've designed the collar to fit the helmet but got it a little too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is open the visor and put him in at a slight angle. Works no problem for me and does not scratch in the slightest. Alex lets clarify, Once you open the visor..do you mean put the FIGURE in at an angle(when do you attach his back to the pegs?) ....OR do you mean once you,ve opened the visor ,angle the figure,s HEAD ???

Ok, good point. Open the visor and put the figure in so tip of the visor is going in first. That allows the entire head to cuuurve in through the opening. You might just have to angle the figure's head up a little, but not that much. I tried putting the figure onto the back connection points first and also putting the figure's head through BEFORE connecting it to the back points. Both ways worked for me just fine.

No I am not reshooting the video so you can see me transform it with the head on. Do you have any idea how long this stuff takes? lol. leaving the head on you run a high risk of scratching the helmet. I don't recommend it but if your "that guy" feel free. The video was removed because I re uploaded it for proper HD. Which it is now. Just hit the link in the lower right of the video.

My box lists POM no less than three times. It says ABS, PVC, POM twice, then ABS, POM and then ABS, PVC with Japanese words before them probably describing what parts are made of what. It's in the white box at the bottom of the box. Took me about 3 seconds to find. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vostok 7 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) ABS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene - AKA Styrene, same plastic used for model kits, it's a hard (but somewhat brittle) plastic that holds engraved details well and is somewhat strong. PVC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PVC - It's a soft, rubbery plastic, characteristic of action figures and other cheap toys. POM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene - AKA Delrin (also goes by other names), is a very strong plastic that resists scratching and other damage extremely well but it is expensive and is practically impossible to paint.

troyness Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I tried last night to transform the Beagle without removing the head..angling the head with and without him attached to the to the armor pegs...and nothing. I guess I,m gonna need pics, if this is even possible, the only way that I could see it happening is warping the visor and scratching the helmet and forcing it thru!!...which ain,t gonna happen! Alex is right ..you can see that Beagle have attempted to shape the collar to do so...but I think that they didn,t make it wide enough..pushing the helmet head thru without scratching it..I just can,t see it..but if someone provides video of this being possible ,that I,d like to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
