    This guy just took Gunpla to new level.

    After quite a bit of searching, I found the rest of the gang: Was it worth the wait? Yes. A resizing of an already beefy design on Defensor sounded sublime, especially after missing out on the original Maketoys release. It's also very stable in a low stance: Major joints like the shoulders, hips, and knees have solid ratchets on them. However, the elbow joints cannot support the massive gun with a bent arm, it's just too heavy. Just a couple of complaints come to mind. Yes Model was all too faithful in resizing Guardia; they didn't even bother to give Katana rolling rear wheels, just molded-in tires. Yes Model could have also made an improvement by finding a way for the gestalt's head to actually face different directions. The head is on a ball joint, but is caged to face forward by the ladder base assembly. And then there's the presence of fake screws scribed into Vulcan's hip joints. I reckon the original Guardia had real screws there, but Yes Model decided to leave them out to save costs. But why scribe the look of having screws there? Why not just smooth the surface out? It just seems odd. So yeah, not a lot of complaints from me. It's a great IDW-esque combiner made out of four Deluxe-sized limbs and a Voyager class torso. Anyhoo, I'm glad Yes Model went all the way through to complete the team-I had strong doubts about that. I highly recommend their KO.

    Yes-Model's oversize KO of Maketoys' Vulcan finally arrived for me this week: I wish I could at least provide a pic of its fully combined mode, but the limb bots are at another location. Regardless, it looks good and feels solid so far. The printed instructions are absolute crap, so thank goodness there are transformation videos already out there. I'll post a few pics once I go home and grab the other not-Protectobots.

    I only have one That mix works quite well! I have only one set of the Aoshima Dropship/APC combo-I regret not buying more. I can't believe it was 15 years ago, but I did a mini review of of that Airwolf.

    Very interesting indeed. I'll probably get one for my Saturn as I am still not happy with its emulation.

    Yes! Perfect RC-like controls for a giant super robot. You just had to move your main character so they could see if their mech was close enough for melee combat. The Red Baron over there particularly reminds me of the RAD mech that transforms into a land vehicle of some sort.

    Seeing the trailer with the blocky mecha made reminisce of R.A.D. for ye olde Playstation 2.

    I haven't played it in a while, but I remember Android Assault/Bari-Arm being a fun shooter and one that isn't terribly difficult. It has a Thunderforce III type of feel to it, if that helps. Definitely worth a try.

    I would be more receptive to these if they had at least given them different face sculpts.

    Despite their Ride Armors breaking, Sentinel and their Riobots have a pretty good batting average in my book. So chances are high that their Legioss will be of good quality. Personally, I'm excited about the red one.

    As a forever fan of Wakko, I have to say that those are some awfully big shoes to fill.
  12. Valkyrie Hunter D
    That must've taken forever to make. Could we ask for a Res Comet Zaku and Lady Gaga follow up?

    Love their Mazinkaiser. Any robot toy that can hold their sword with both hands already has points in my book.

    Got the big Snake Eyes box yesterday. Hasbro knocked it out of the park for presentation for their debut figure. I was afraid their packaging would be more impressive than the figure inside, but the figure itself looks great-neatly painted and detailed. I haven't gotten to actually play with it though.

    Per their website; April.

    Threezero is gonna have interchangeable parts with their next Ingram so you could either have Unit 2 or Unit 3 along with their respective pilots.

    I think my preorder cost over $40. That was early last year though, I haven't checked current prices.

    These covers are very cool, Black Valkyrie. I think I'm gonna use them for my Retroarch menu.

    Got to pop open my Tomica Vintage Neo F-40: It's just impressive how much detail was crammed in a Hot Wheels scaled toy. The profile looks correct and it even has opening compartments-very cool! Tomytec went all out on this one, and I guess I'm still a sucker for the F40.

    Most likely, Voltes here hit the market last October.
  21. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I finally got to open my Action Toys Voltes V with all the time I have at home. It's nowhere near the quality level of any comparable Chogokin, and I certainly wasn't expecting that. But at forty bucks, I was willing to give it a shot. Moving features on each Volt unit are essentially nil; you have movable claws on the Volt Panzer and the Volt Lander has flip out drills, but that's all. Combined mode is approximately 5 inches. Everything is plastic and the paint apps are done nicely, with nary a spot of slop. All the Volt units combined easily per the instructions and the only partsforming going on is with the hands/fists with three different pairs to choose from. Swivels and ball joints at the hips, ankles, and shoulders govern the range of motion at the limbs. No waist rotation though, and the head, while on a ball joint, will require the rear half of Volt Cruiser to raise up to look around. The only weapon it has is the sword, no frills here. Overall, it's not too bad of a toy. I would compare its feel to that of a solidly built garage kit. I think any Voltes fan who requires a desk toy to tinker around with would dig it. If anything it just whets my appetite for the humungous DX version that Bandai is working on.

    Nice, it's actually cheaper at BBTS than the usual suspects. I haven't ordered anything from Diamond in years.
  23. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Looks nice, but I wouldn't expect it to hit the production line in less than four years. Which would still be better than any attempt from TakaTomy.
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    It's plausible having a Tread as toy/kit hybrid. It might even help keep production costs down. As for Pliobot Inbit, it's gonna be stretch.

    Streets of Rage 4 reveals the final character on its roster, who I reckon is a mix of part 3's Dr. Zan and part 2's Max Thunder:
