Acid Rain - new 1:18 mecha toy line.
jenius replied to skullmilitia's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So this was a 1:18 line but now they're shrinking it down to 1:28? -
if anyone gets an extra (SNES Mini), I'm volunteering at my kids school today but would love to have one!
-
Let the dreaming commence!
-
Ooh thanks for the reminder... I have points expiring on 10/1 so maybe I should go CDJ this time...
-
Ordered from HLJ but will keep an eye out for NY.
-
That price may make the BBTS option the best for the US folks. Japanese discounts plus EMS to the US will likely end up similar or more depending on what happens with FX over the next several months.
-
I'll be checking at midnight.

It's possible that Sentinel made a deal with Toynami to have Toynami distribute it in the states (like Toynami did with the Megahouse ride armors... not like Toynami did with Beagle where they re-badged it). If that is what happened, then Toynami may have given BBTS the details ignorant of Sentinel's plans to make the toy available 9/29. If that's the case, it might also mean that the BBTS price will be very competitive with the overseas shops since they would have a US distributor to deal with rather than an international middle man.

I see a screw at the bottom so the array can drop down... but the array needs to rotate around at the middle of the arm to change from fighter mode (where the array comes off the elbow) to battroid mode (where the array is by the fist). It does look like the arm armor has sort of a base plate element to it so I'm optimistic but the price point came in lower than expected so that caused the concern.
-
Given the previous teaser, I'd think Japanese retailers will be listing it on 9/29?
-
I wonder if the arm array pivots or if you have to take it off and put it back on.
-
Well, it works out to about MSRP shipped via EMS which is still probably a bit better than HLJ.
-
Can't wait and at that price, i may buy 2.
-
I have two orders I'm currently waiting on from Japan... one has an Arcadia VF-1J Miria in it. The other has an Evolution Toys Legioss. I feel like those two companies are working together right now to make sure I never get all my loot.
-
Agreed... That is a toy that could be improved by being simpler.
-
I like the Garland but I found Megazone just meh. It's kind of like Dougram for me. I love the mechs (so 80s) and I like the tone of Dougram but the story left me unsatisfied.
-
Didn't TREX do the 171? I was told it was the same guy that did Yamato's 17 and he struggled to make sure both were unique. This would lead me to think its TREX.
-
I had no problems with mine, it usually took some effort to pop them off.
-
So crazy that we'll have three different companies releasing similar scale Garlands within four months of each other (assuming no more delays).
-
He stated previously, there is no clearance, its an optical illusion.

I learned something new about Yamato 1/12 version 1 toys recently. The Parachute sack gift-set comes with exactly the same red shoulder toy that was available separately... for some reason I thought it had a different 'red' on the shoulder. I think it's because the box has a picture on the back where the red shoulder looks darker. In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that the gift-set would be the same since they sold at the same time.
-
Oh hey guys, thanks! Afraid my Mirage hasn't shipped yet so you've got at least a week... probably 2. Feel free to keep going to my site though!

My review of the accessory parts are up now. Check them out on anymoon.com!

Just a cryptic "it will be a webshop item after the event" message...
-
When it becomes a regular webshop item it should definitely be cheaper than the 25-27K we're seeing for MISB 31J toys during the Tamashii order window.
