Mog Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I salute you for taking on this challenge. Please keep us posted on your progress. Are you thinking of adding the blades to the forearm armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spedfish Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Are you thinking of adding the blades to the forearm armor? Blades are a must!! They wont be retractable tho, they'll just plug in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Spedfish, no advice for you, but I am VERY impressed by what you've done so far. Nice work. Helmet looks especially cool. I'm in the same boat, by the way, in that MOSPEADA-related stuff is the main reason I come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm probably late to the party, but did anybody notice that Toynami is releasing the Dark Mospeada sometime next week??? Since there's obviously no Beagle love anymore, Megahouse should help us out and give us the Fuke and Shinobu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there's obviously no Beagle love anymore, Megahouse should help us out and give us the Fuke and Shinobu.I honestly never even entertained the thought that Toynami would release the dark version because it's been so long since the Asian version was released. Not sure if this is good news or not. MH MOSPEADAs are my favourite though and I wouldn't mind them making more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you gotta have this, and ebay reseller in Hong Kong has it for $48 plus & $16 for shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/Megahouse-Mospeada-VR-...=item4a9b93e2f1 It would be cheaper than paying tax and shipping charges thru RT.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mospeadamacrosstech Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I have all the Mega House ride armor. They are just awesome. I have heard nothing but negative things about CM's. Being a huge Mospeada fan, I may take the plunge anyway. I like how CM's is selling the army builder figures alone. Pretty cool. Personally, I was disappointed with their Legioss/Tread sets. With some more effort, it could have been an amazing set. I'm bummed about Beagle's cancellation of their perfect Mospeada toys. I think I held off on the CM's because I just don't want to be let down any more. The Megahouse versions are a total win. Lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mospeadamacrosstech Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hey! I heard it through the grapevine that CM's is retooling their Legioss/Tread sets! Is this news to anyone? I started reading through the forums, but at 44 pages long, it may take me a bit of time. Hello? Is this thing on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started reading through the forums, but at 44 pages long, it may take me a bit of time. Hello? Is this thing on? Well, awhile back I heard about something similar via the forums. But all it ended up being was the set with a new BFG for the Beta if I recall correctly (and an even bigger price tag too). Doubtful that they'd actually redo their set to look more accurate or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started reading through the forums, but at 44 pages long, it may take me a bit of time. Hello? Is this thing on? That sounds like old news. CMs re-released their blue Legioss/Tread set. The re-release featured optional larger chest intakes, a second gun, and a new linking cradle that held the toys closer together. Most every major retailer I knew didn't even bother carrying it.

Anymoon is your website? Man, that is the BEST site for reviews! Are you going to pick one of these up? I bet they're next to impossible to find if no one is carrying them. Not to mention the absurd price tag. Do you know anyone who is selling this set? Thank you in advance! And thanks again for all your hard work on Anymoon. I seriously use your site before I make any of my Macross or Mospeada purchases. I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Glad you like the site. I'm spending my day today watching football and taking pics of the EX Gear. I decided to pass on the "improved" CMs release. If I find it some day on sale somewhere I'll pick one up. Right now I don't know a single place offering it internationally.

derex3592 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Glad you like the site. Just gotta say it....I LOVE your site also. I NEVER buy anything totally new (Macross or Mospeada wise) until I read your reviews! Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mospeadamacrosstech Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'd like to add that what separates AnyMoon from the other sites out there are the comparisons. What made me decide to invest on the new 1/60 Valkyries was anymoon's size comparison to other previously released Valks. I could see the level of detail compared to some Valks I had around, and it really made me decide to take the plunge. Glad I did. I love the 1/60's. (I still like the 1/48's the best, but that's me). I also like the careful detail that goes into the pictures. It highlights the toys strengths and weaknesses. Many other sites out there that compare toys don't take the time to take good pictures like Anymoon and Remy's Tformers site does. I think that is key to help make a decision on weather or not to invest in a new release. And of course, a well thought out, organized review with rating scale too. Seriously, I think Toynami, BanDai, Yamato, MegaHouse and CM's should all pay you residuals for all the shiza I've purchased because of your site. Thanks again.

RavenHawk Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 While at first I was annoyed that now RT is going to sell the Dark Mospeada, I've kind of come around. I have all three Dark bikes from CMs, and only the dark ones. I have the completely dark (no white at all) Yellow from Megahouse, and nothing else from Megahouse. I have both Beagles. I guess I might as well get the dark Stick from Megahouse, kind of fill in the collection, since nothing else is coming out now anyway, and hope that maybe this will at least spur on some more products from SOMEONE.

mospeadamacrosstech Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 What's worse than the death of the Megahouse line is the death of the Beagle line. That Stick and Rey are two of the most fantastic toys I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. Two icon gems I have always wanted since I was a kid, and one of the few times where I was not disappointed. It suck, it really does. We've seen more Mospeada toys in the last two years than we have in the other 25 years combined, and I doubt we'll see any more for a long, long time. Is CM's line still going, at least? I was informed on this thread that CM's redid the underwhelming Legioss/Tread set. Too little too late. I have not purchased any of CM's cyclones. I heard nothing but negative things about them from friends, and honestly, they are way, way over priced for what they are. But considering I have almost everything else, maybe I should take the plunge. Since it may be my last chance to get some "new" Mospeada toys for another 25 years. I'm off my soapbox now.

I almost took the bait too. I think anyone reading it did. You just did what we all thought of. No harm there. And I agree. I was thinking about the Fuke and Shinobu just to complete the series. But I think the scales are different. I believe the Megahouse are 1/15 and the CM's are 1/18. Also, CM's contain die cast where the Megahouse don't. I hope they can pass as a set. Cause I really don't want to buy the other three. Especially if they suck. anymoon has a very good review of the CM's. You should check it out.

jenius Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Some day I'm going to bust all my CMs Mospeada toys out and do a diorama for you guys to try to inspire some jealousy I agree though, CMs toys are way expensive for what they were and while it's nice they pretty much completed all things Mospeada they never got closing to nailing everything just right.

bluemax151 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Some day I'm going to bust all my CMs Mospeada toys out and do a diorama for you guys to try to inspire some jealousy That would be "awesome". Maybe you could do like a MOSPEADA toy roundup for your site? I have the Yellow and Shinobu ride armors and they're pretty disappointing in my opinion. I only really got them to go along with the CM trading figures that are coming out. Oh the the trading figures have been pushed back btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm honestly surprised someone waited this long to take the bait. I phrased that last post very carefully for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I was collecting the CMs to be in scale with my 1/18th Bubblegum Crisis and Megazone 23 toys and figures, but even at that was only collecting the "dark" versions of the figures (same with Megahouse). The Beagle line was where I intended to get the anime accurate toys (and yes, I preordered both Stick and Ray, so I'm not one of the people who was waiting for them to go on sale or clearance later). I wonder if CMs will do a "dark" version of Yellow? Megahouse did, and CMs seems to do as many variants and as much getting multiple toys out of a single mold as possible, so I'm surprised they haven't yet.

jenius Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think CMs is done with Mospeada after the trading figures so I'd be a little surprised if we see more toys from them. If we were going to I'd guess that the Clear/Metallic versions of the dark ride armors would be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I recently got the CMs Fuke (well about 2 months ago), but just opened it up yesterday. I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the toy myself. It's very flimsy, and seems so fragile. I would get the Shinobu, but at nearly $70, there's simply no way. Kinda bummed about not seeing a Beagle especially, but the MH version as well. Simply just not enough Mospeada fans out there, or some very stingy ones. I know the ones on MW tend to buy stuff when they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 So, is the CM Fuke that bad? I have the Toynami/Beagle Scott and Rand (haven’t gotten to actually opening them… don’t yell at me ) but since the Beagle Fuke is dead, I've been meaning to buy the CM for a time. Jenius’s review has stopped me so far. But I do have the CM Stick and I must say I really enjoy how he looks. Yes, the damn thing is frustrating to handle but once posed, it looks great.

Jasonc Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's not that bad if you're used to the CMs line, but for me, coming from the MH and Beagles first, it's a frustrating mess. I didn't even bother tranforming it just cause of fear of breaking it. But, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zar Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I concur with Twoducks, I have CM's Scott, Yellow and Fuke (and have Ley and Shinobu on the way) and they look really nice while posed, but handling them is a pain but at least it's a complete line. I also have CM's Dark legioss and it is very frustrating trying to align everything in armo fighter, but at least I don't get the feeling that the damn thing is going to break (like Toynami/Aoshima).

I didn't even bother tranforming it just cause of fear of breaking it. But, that's just me. Er, Mospeada fans are cursed! The Beagles are just top notch. My buddy isn't a Mospeada fan, and he went out and purchased the Toynami versions as soon as he handled mine. Yes, they're that good. I was so excited to finally have a complete set of riders. I know for a fact there is a prototype of Fuke. I know for a fact that the Robotech versions are selling well (considering their price and the economy). So, why doesn't Toynami release it? They can get twice the bang for the buck and release the Sue Graham version. It's a wasted opportunity, especially since the prototype is done. If I win the lottery this week, let's buy that damn prototype and mass produce a Fuke for the fans. While I'm at it, I'll release a Legioss that's to scale too. But first, I have to win the lottery.
