    I've never seen this before. Can you provide us illiterate-in-Japanese folks some backstory on what this is? It looks fun.

    Just got my Moshow (I let it sit in my pile of loot on BBTS for a bit while waiting for some other ride armor-type toys to release), and I have to say that I am really impressed. Sure, I wish it was less of a parts-former, but it's got some great heft and seems solidly built. It has even survived a small fall (dog pumping into table it was on) where my Sentinels (love them) have broken easily (cat knocking one off of a pretty low shelf). Side note: I've lost more MOSPEADA toys to cats over the last couple of decades than I care to remember. Really my only gripe is those 4 tiny little round plastic pins while so much else is metal.

    It very much looks to me like the Loyal Subjects stuff is going to be new/updated figures, but like the vehicles have very, very minor changes (like a silver piece on Condor and some accessories that weren't there before, but otherwise the exact same vehicle, possibly re-using old molds are making new ones from scans and re-scalings of the physical products).

    Really excited for these. It's funny, when I first saw MZ23 two decades ago, I wasn't that into this mech. Since then... yeah, I've become a big fan, have custom made some of my own stands-ins for my collection, but am really looking forward to the real thing.

    Agree here, especially on the Omnibots. Downshift has been a favorite since I was a kid, and I played with him both as a Transformer and, when not caring about scale, as a MASK toy. I'm not a fan of XTransbots, but this was a no-brainer for me. On the general topic, I'm a big believer in NOT infringing on someone else's IP, big or small. That said, if there is zero activity on it by the owner, sometimes us collectors really want that itch scratched... As long as I know it isn't causing the IP owner any damage.

    Overall, it depends on what you're going for. In my opinion: - Want one to display, toon accurate? Beagle. - Want the full set, toon accurate? CMs. - Want full set, and open to/actually like updated designs? Sentinel. - Want toon accurate partsformer? Megahouse. - Want updated design partsformer, and into just slapping a ton of weapons onto a figure, physics-be-damned? Moshow Toys. - Want to actually play with it, and have it only be in scale with JoyToy? B2Five. - Want to play with it, but not have any fun doing so, and you're a completist? SMALL '80s Henshin Robo. - Want it to not be much fun? Matchbox. - Want to make me jealous? BIG '80s "Perfect Mounting Real Change" Henshin Robo

    I'm fearful that, as the guest of honor, there might not be opportunities to actually meet him or get anything signed. Does anyone had prior experiences with this show and this level of guest?

    Were you uncomfortable with BBTS? I know they have a delay compared to others, but they gave me some absolutely amazing customer service when I had an issue a few years back, and very much earned my business... except for when I find an item elsewhere for substantially less money.
  10. RavenHawk
    Yeah, I was keeping quiet, but definitely remembered that. FWIW, my BGC figs are the only Yamoto items that I legit play with here and there, and not just have as display pieces.
  11. RavenHawk
    That's really disappointing. It probably doesn't actually matter that much. As much as I LOVE the Sentinel figures, I just use them as display pieces. I think that the B2Five figures can be considered legitimate toys (and partsformers), but other than them, I don't think a single collectible that I've purchased has been anything but a display piece since the Yamato BGC Motoslaves... but still disappointing.
  12. RavenHawk
    I seriously love bad-@ss female heroes, and love the BGC designs, but I'm starting to feel like I'm an outsider in the fanbase because I DON'T want them over-sexualized.
  13. RavenHawk
    I'm still hoping for a regular one, and for the Bulldog too. But, truth be told, it's all about the DREAD...
  14. RavenHawk
    Gorgeous work. Definitely hope you make it available, whether for free or purchase. Looking forward to printing a couple.

    While it wouldn't account for the full height difference (maybe 1/2 at most), shouldn't the ankle on the right be extended?
  16. RavenHawk
    As for the Moshow stuff, it still just looks to me (both original rendition and slightly more streamlined one) like they're trying to take Sentinel's design and tack on as many bigger guns and more more more more as they can. I'm still going to buy it, and hopefully love it, but it looks like it could use some paring down.
