Lonely Soldier Boy

Put me down for two sets!!! Now we just need a donor

The Beagle also has a opening panel for the targeting scope! And taking in a closer look, it does sport two small slots on the side covers, probably for the crates. The rear shock seems a working one. But the best of all is that the front shocks attach to the armor. That means it's not only PT but a fully operational exoskeleton, YAY! Oh, and the bike looks sooooo beautiful. Sleek and aggressive. I'll have a tough time deciding on which mode it'll be displayed. I wonder if we'll see the rest of the bikes or if this will be a one version thing like the old Gakken.

Thanks Iggy, I really appreciate it I'll PM you when you get your set, unless there's more interest around and Silver Dragon or any other recaster saves you the trouble.

Small yet in scale I just hope Yamato don't pack it in one of those big a$$ boxes they're so fond of.

Anytime, señor ryno I wonder if the Beagle will come with crates. All the recent RA releases has them and since this is the "high end" member of the family it'd make sense to have a place to store all the goodies. Still no sign on them, no pics, no slots or pegs. Maybe they just forgot. On a side note, it seems like Toynami decided to go ahead with their own Cyclone after all.

Finally some RA discussion. Gracias a Ignacio por la gauchada 600 for the Beagle? I don't think so. Not even the Hot Toys Powerloader goes for that much nowadays. Still, get ready to shell out quite the buck. The missing "protoculture" cylinder (or whatever it is called in Mospeada) is already in the bike, which means you can take it off the bike and replace it. Nice touch.

AAARRRGGHHH!!! My MH set got stolen in the way to the post office (along with another ton and a half of goods from the US, that's Mexico for you ). The claim has been filled, but I won't get my refund (and thus my set) in a while, so I will miss on the weapons set. Hopefully they'll be available again in the future. I hope that now that almost everyone will have their original sets, there'll still be interest in recasting them for the less fortunate

Any news on Yamato's Ingram yet?

So is it possible to get sets of Revo joints separately? I have a bunch of great toys that would benefit greatly from the Revoltech treatment

Yeah, the cockpit bothers me too. The original design has a sleek snake head. Toynami's looks nothing like it. Damn, I like CMs' better, but I hate their Legioss and Toynami's Beta sucks in the sculpt department.

I hope it's not a dead thing. I'll gladly pay for a couple of sets myself. Either those sets are über rare, or the few people who got them won't lend theirs for recasting?

Drifand pics made want to try a CM's. Is it possible to clear coat them so the surfaces look more dull without losing all the tampo? Drif?

If the TREAD and Legioss could connect via the chest/arm boom, then the connection would be more secure. My main grip with Toynami's linkeage was that since they made the Alpha and then the Beta they probably won't connect that way either (making the Alpha "seat" on the craddle like the CMs does), but I don't understand why CMs' don't connect at the chest either: The two toys were designed together. I want to like this toy, honest, but I can't help to feel like CMs is trying to swindle me. Nice first post, Joe Six Pack

Coolio!

Mint, the hyperactive girl sidekick-for-comedic-relief, wears a cap with the ET logo on it. We've already seen a prototype figure of her with the first color pics of the bikes. She was riding the bike behind Rey. It was a solid piece (i.e. no joints) and some of us were speculating whether MH was to pack her with one of the bikes or not. I hope the ET sticker means that she is still in the pipeline. If that's the case we may get to see some more support characters

The ET sticker in the MH sheet suggests we will see a Mint figure after all. I hope it's a poseable one

Since the Q-Rau is also roundish in design, it's a perfect candidate for well hidden Revy joints. And since we already have a good scale, it'd be a must have. You didn't missed much. Size wise is cool, but it's not that poseable and I never understood why Yamato never gave us a poseable Miriya to go with it like they did with Chirico Cuvie. That would've give a great added value to the set. Sometimes I just don't understand Yamato.

After the Regult I want to see a Q-Rau, movie AND TV.

I like the TREAD, it has good sculpt and for what Alex told us here, it seems to be a good toy altogether. The Legioss OTOH, is poorly done. I could think of it as an accessory for the TREAD, but then there's the price thing again.

PM sent. BTW, if you happen to see Satan, tell him my soul is for sale.

By the way EXO, are we gonna see recast of that 1/48 Thunder Hummer of yours? Edit: Nevermind, just saw the thread

I actually like the more rounded look of the bike. The bike alone looks very beefy and rounded altogether in the lineart tho' the front IS straight. So far all the toys of the bike made have failed in capture that muscle-street-bike look that I like so much. Beagle really tried hard to make the bike looks great on her own whereas most companies only care about the armor mode. I guess this pic means that Toynami decided to scrap his Ride Armor on behalf of Beagle's. That or Toynami will try to compete against it. I hope we still get a US release. I'm in Mexico, but a US release is always cheaper than a Japanese one.

I've been away from this thread despite being the 21 my all time favorite Valk, because I'm not too fond of Battroid mode on this toy. Fighter is perfect, but I'm a Battroid guy and this one leaves a lot to be desired IMHO: the hips seat too low and the legs are too skinny. Looks too "human", so to speak, for a Battroid whose main appeal is its Q-Rau, alienish anatomy. I was hoping for Yamato to "borrow" some ideas from the D-Stance model, but as it is, I'm in no hurry to get this.

I wonder if we'll see repaints. It makes sense for Yamato to milk the 90% new molds, but AFAIK there are no other official color schemes of the Proto Garland, so they'll have to come up with something new.

Looks like a recast of these little suckers is in order. I'm still waiting for my set and I hope there's nothing missing, but I'm all for recasts of these in case this problem spreads and there is no way of getting replacements
