plus it's a tiny 1/18 scale... it's actually has pretty good proportions.

are you sure your transforming it correctly? I have a bunch of these and transformed them all repeatedly. you know your not suppose to push it up like the 1/60s right? That part doesn't isn't even to take up any stress because you just flip it up and push into the back plate.

This is now the Mospeada Ride Armor/Cyclone superthread.

Let's make this thread the default ride armor/cycloe thread. Because we're posting the other companies' toys in each of the other threads anyway. I'm gonna move the other threads to the hall of super topics if you want to see them so the won't get bumped up here. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24189

has this been posted here? havent been watching heroes so I haven't been reading the thread that much. This documentary is really bad, I wonder if it's done on purpose... cuz it's really bad. But the illustrations are good... I don't think they know what "ronin" means even though it's definition been explained in popular culture repeatedly. http://yamagatofellowship.org/videoPlayer.shtml?mea=148635 followed by this http://samantha48616e61.com/

the boots telescope, the leg armor is connected to the hip and the forearm armors are connected by the shocks (even though they don't draw it in the anime there's an X-Ray illustration of the Ride Armor with Rey in it. So it's the power suit that carries the rider, not the other way around.

I'm interested in seeing the new ship, never liked that old one.

kinda like the 1/18s too. It'll good with Micromen figures.

i just look at the pics then check out of the thread... that's on you guys! haha.

I kinda miss seeing the resin prototype first... loved seeing the uncolored version.

I kinda dig that. The shoulder housing constrains so much of the Gakken's poseability. If they didn't do it that way, I woulda asked... why didn't they just do this? The Megahouse looks so much better in ride armor than the toynami. I like the face sculpts and the colors too. I'll prolly get one of the tonamis to check out the quality, but aside from that I won't be getting any more based on passed experiences.

Frankie says relax or you'll find your Broken Wings One night in Bangkok! *moonwalks out of thread*

stick to the oribinal Shirow Manga... I never understand why they just don't use shirow's designs... The only one that ever got it right was the Black Magic M-66 OVA.

where's the poker table? hehe

that router had tons of problems for me. and linksys knew of the issues but refused to support them.

oh geez... I just checked if my geocities page is still up... IT IS! So embarrassing. DAMMIT NINA!

as a mod I tried listening to the recording so I can keep up with the topic... but it put me to sleep. So just quit with the racial and nazi talk. Get over it and move on. I seriously wouldn't even listen to this guy again. Boooring!!!

topic moved because it's not Macross related. Everything NOT Macross (but is still within the realm of accepted topics) goes in the anime or SF section. thank you.

sure... I'll PM you when the group buy comes up...

No one said anything about selling "as many"... again... I'd like to point out the Hot Toys line. Appleseed (14" tallBriarieos) ED-209 and the Power Loader at 1/6 scale? Again... if I would have said I wanted such things a couple of years ago then I'd be getting the same economics lessons from all the toy market experts here. Hell if you make the Legioss as part of a line of old transformable vehicles it'd be even more sellable, because some collectors buy crap just to complete their collection. Again... I have said that... and again... 1/6 scale ED-209... 1/6 scale power loader... 1/6 scale Appleseed figures... oh... and another thing I mentioned they should make was an MP Megatron gun where the gun was larger than actual scale so that the robot mode would match MP prime and an MP3 soundwave... all before they made it... So as you can see... I have a small grasp on whats a possibilty. The fact that tatsanuko is hard to deal with is a whole other matter from the fact that there's a market out there for it.

Ummm they did a new cartoon full of Alphas didnt they? It's funny because everyone would have said we had no chance of new Mospeada toys at all a feww months ago, yet here they are. The fact is it's easier to play the expert and say it's impossible to make these toys until someone actually makes the toys and they fly off the shelves. What about ED-209? If I would have said I wanted a 1/6 scale ED-209 a couple of years ago I probably would have gotten the same response. Let me guess what the response would be now... "you can't compare Robocop to Mospeada... that's an American feature that was released worlwide compared to a small japanese market." Did everyone forget that Robotech was a syndicated show and was shown worldwide also? Don't tell me that the 1/48 is only puchased by "Macross fans" as opposed to Macross and Robotech fans. What about the constant reissues of Mazingers and Grendizers? You can keep saying it wont sell... until it does. I agree with the second paragraph here... I just hate the whole "it won't work" reply, because as we've seen in the toy market nothing is that impossible. The small Appleseed toys were distributed by Yamato. I gotta say, I have a lot of respect for Hot Toys for taking advantage of "niche" markets and making toys that are highly detailed.

I would have believed that train of thought a year ago and that's why I've accepted the reason there were no Ghost In the Shell, appleseed, Aliens, Robocop, and even bigger macross toys. But now all of that is here and in huge scales. Macross was supposedly a niche property too (according to people... a dead license) but now they are making and selling out of toys that are about $200. I suppose one can say the same about Mospeada... but now there Beagle and other companies coming out of the woodwork making good looking toys. So I'm pretty convinced there's a market for an Legioss in a bigger scale. Hell I saw a 1/6 scopedog toy in a Hobby Japan... who wouldve thought that Votoms was a sellabe property 2 -3 years ago?

reissue of a Gakken? If they coulda done one they would have already. Hell they never even bootlegged it Joons style. What we need is a new 1/32 scale legioss, tlead or no tlead. They need to stop messing around with these tiny low quality types. The success of the 1/48s and the newer 1/60 valkyries and also the transformers masterpiece series should be an example on how to make a trasforming toy.

I'm planning to sculpt a shirowesque head for my deunan (probably using the Motoko doll head as the base)... most likely to end up on the cool girl version. I planted the more shirow looking head on the smaller movie figure also.
