Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 18 Posted October 18 The Ride Armor is so chonky compared to the more recent, stylized versions. I love it. If there's a Mugen Calibur, I can hope an Ovelon Gazette will arrive later. Quote

This looks excellent and I'll likely get a copy when it releases. Yes to an HMR, although I wonder how much partsforming would be involved. I'm liking the chunky proportions of the Moderoid. Quote

tekering Posted October 23 Posted October 23 I'm definitely gonna paint this in G1 Roadbuster colors. 😋 Quote
Big s Posted November 28 Posted November 28 (edited) News was already in the Mospeada section, but last night the Mospeada kits went up for preorder. Looks like they come with their signature armaments and both include the convertible rifle/pistol. Edited November 28 by Big s Quote
m0n5t3r Posted November 28 Posted November 28 Didn't realize they included unhelmeted heads. And that gun to rifle conversion is a nice touch. Quote

Yup, moderoid usually does pretty well as an odd completionist company compared to others, so there’s a pretty good chance of getting at least the other two main characters down the line. Quote

Just fearing the tariff and shipping charges. Would’ve liked to have one on the bike and one in armor, but I’m gonna settle for Stick in the armor and Rey on the bike or standing next to the bike.

M'Kyuun Posted Wednesday at 09:22 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 09:22 PM Bing Videos So cannot wait for this to be available. I've not built a Moderoid kit before, let alone one that's transformable, which by its nature, introduces multiple potential points of failure due to all the internal hinges and such. Any feedback as to the quality of their kits, especially durability, and most certainly as it pertains to transformable models, would be most appreciated. Curious if they'll do Oberan's Gazette next. Ssems a huge missed opportunity not to. Quote

Ssems a huge missed opportunity not to. Haven’t built any of the converting kits yet, although I can say that the newer kits are a higher quality and more stable item. They seem to get better every year. Currently working on Tekkaman Blade and the joints have a great fit and a tight feel without feeling tight, actually better than most toys since the joints use ABS parts rather well. I’d guess that depending on how simple the transformation process is, it might be rather stable, but that’s really a guess Quote

I’d guess that depending on how simple the transformation process is, it might be rather stable, but that’s really a guess Well, the trickiest bit on the Calibur is the hip extension mechanism for transformation, which one hopes will work well, but also tab securely, at the very least, in robot mode. If the legs use sliders instead of a Combiner Wars trapeze extension mechanism, the hope is that those, too, will work well without degrading or losing friction and just collapsing on themselves over time as any number of OG Transformers did, mostly due to all the die-cast weight they had to support. At least here, the joints are only supporting all-plastic structures and perhaps a metal pin or two (not sure if Moderoid uses them, but I certainly wouldn't fault them for doing so). Still, I think my preference would be for the CW method, but I guess we'll see. I just hope it turns out to be a very high-quality model and a really good representation of a mecha that gets way too little representation in toy form. Moreover, I hope it remains available long enough for me to get my mitts on a copy. I have a feeling this will be a good seller given the dearth of Dorvack toys and models available. Quote

electric indigo Posted Thursday at 07:10 PM Posted Thursday at 07:10 PM I recently finished the Deer Stalker R x R (from the Iron Saga game), an earlier kit from the Moderoid line Along with the Moderoid Thunderjaw I built last year, it's one of the coolest pieces in my collection. Quote
