    Hacchaka has got a review up. https://hacchaka.net/archives/52086182.html

    MP-44 still remains my favourite, but if MS do a SG repaint of this I might be interested. It will take a lot of convincing on product quality for me to pick this up, because my experience with the recent MS-01 metallic reissue hasn't been very good.

    Thank you!

    Been messing with my MB Hi-Nu for a while now and in hand this is a fantastic piece. The tune of Aurora starts playing in the back of my head every time I pick it up. Nitpicks for me would be – the somewhat forceful process to clip on the fin funnels – no emotion manipulators (hate having to constantly swap out hands) – missing alternative stand adapter to hold the toy from the crotch area – the Hyper Bazooka having to attach on the tail binder from the top instead of under it (like MG Ver.Ka)

    Still bitching and moaning about MP-44? Well then maybe Magic Square might have you covered now.

    For Sto'Vo'Kor's sake, just bring back Andy Probert to do starship designs! Instead of these terrible CG kitbashes, I would like my Starfleet ships to have a cohesive design language and elegant sculpt.

    Will keep a watch on this, anything that is MG 1/100 compatible automatically has my interest. Not too phased about perfect transformation or not, but do hope the three modes look nice and that Battroid has a good amount of articulation.

    A solid and enjoyable prologue episode that had good pacing with solid world exposition and setup for the rest of the show. I look forward to more and hope the quality stays the same.

    Heh, funny because this is exactly what came to my mind when I was initially looking at those images. It's definitely nice to have the smaller bots look more distinctive and articulate better, and most importantly it doesn't seem to have an adverse effect on combined form.

    Personally disappointing, that size discrepancy for the Chogokin Nu and not being MG 1/100 scale compatible makes this a pass for me.

    THE GATTAI HAGANE WORKS Dancouga Beyond humans, beyond beasts, now, to even greater heights! Mecha Smile steps into a new frontier with a new combining Dancouga action figure! Complete transforming alloy model. Approximately 30cm in height (in Dancouga form, to top of head). Joints of the model are articulated. The model is based on the latest design by Masami Obari. Create the combination of the four Beast Machines: Eagle Fighter, Land Liger, Land Cougar and Big Moth without any additional parts. Each machine is made with alloy parts, providing a sturdy feel. Transform the shoulder and chest parts to create a silhouette closer to that seen in the anime series. Dancouken and Daigan are included. Daigan can be separated into the weapon of each Beast Machine. Flight Booster is included. The gun barrels can be moved forward when equipped. The rear main gun is articulated, allowing for the creation of Dancouhou Formation. Hand parts with independently articulated fingers are included. Ryo’s fighting pose can also be created. A dedicated stand engraved with a Beast Machine Squad relief is included. The main unit and optional parts can be displayed on the stand. Set Contents: Eagle Fighter, Land Liger, Land Cougar, Big Moss, Dancouken, Daigan (separated into 4 weapons), Flight Booster, Hand Parts with Articulated Fingers, Dedicated Display Stand Package art is drawn by Masami Obari.

    My earthly calendar tells me that 2023 is not a leap year, so this thing is hoax.

    Not sure it really is just a tax thing, AE, HLJ and even Mandarake all have a listing at around 41k - 42k Yen post release. Funny enough I had to secure my Hi-Nu with a European shop which is exactly around that same price point. Either the original MSRP was just for pre-order or all the JP shops are now somehow trying to overcompensate for currency inflation.

    Some shots of the new Super VF-1S with side covers. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/638683

    Clearer images of the background poster and fighter mode.

    Hacchaka has done a review for the Hi-Nu.
  21. lechuck
    Indeed it looks that way. I think we might also be getting some type of hinge mechanism to allow for forward pivoting shoulders/arms.
  22. lechuck
    Looking very promising, hoping to get the typical great threezero articulation out of that Battroid mode.
  23. lechuck
    Man... those eyes on the Hi-Nu don't look that great. But on the positive side of things, I now think the lower legs look fine. This Metal Build continues to have me question if my pre-order is worth it.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    lechuck replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    Looking at the Battroid mode and I must admit that I am not really liking that crotch/hip/leg setup. Fuselage is hanging too low, legs seem too wide apart, the hip rotation point sits too high/too far back and that leading edge bit the legs are hanging off from is too prominent which is limiting the degree of movement for the hips/legs.

    Mafex Avengers are slowly assembling.
