VFTF1 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Uh... I'm curious what the back story on this guy is. VFTF1 Have you tried the Google yet? I prefer to just imagine that he is a former Henchman for that Cannary from Fruit Loops breakfast cereal, who afte a falling out with his boss, got tossed into a bowl of Fruit Loops (the Canary's equivalent of Straxus' Smelting Pools from the old TF marvel comics), but miraculously survived the experience - and was forever scarred with the colors of Fruit Loops going soft in milk.... ok - I'm checking google now...

mpchi Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The jeeg thing is fugly as hell....i'm surprised it has a following. Not for the Classic Jeeg. While it still has the watermelon paint scheme, I think it looks much better with the vintage round wrestler sihlouette. Think they tried too hard to modernize the Shin Jeeg and made it all weird and spikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward for a SOC on that, but somehow bandai did it on the new jeeg, which i think is far less popular than the original one. I would have bought the classic one in a second but this one i have to think about it. windcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Jeeg's not really my style, but with Godmarz, Raideen and Daimos coming out this year there's more than enough SOC goodness to keep me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully its planned in Bandai's lineup, and Shin Jeeg is just a test bed of the magnet joints system. Guess I'll have to be very patient on this one. Godmars is very awesome by the way. Got it a few days ago, and really enjoy it. Combination is actually very easy to remember and not that complicated. Though QC is still iffy, especially on the paint.

Mowe Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I am a fan of the classic Jeeg as well. The new Jeeg looks like a clown in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 The new Jeeg looks like a clown in comparison. Actually, to me he looks more like those acrobats in tight pants from the 70s who would swing on those swing bar things high up above the ground or walk on tight ropes.

wolfx Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Got my SPEC Black Sarena yesterday. Played around with it. Its a very simple toy. The Aestivalis is small and has metal parts. Despite its small size, its pretty heavy feeling. The poseability is just so so as i found it hard to do a crouch, and not sure i its possible. The shoulders pop off the torso when playing around but its not too loose. The Black Sarena armour is made of plastic and pops in quite easily and so does the hi-mobility armour. I left it as Black Sarena mode after awhile. Poseability in this mode obviously isn't much. The box art shows the Black Sarena to have a blue visor but i can't see it on mine. Its just black...or maybe its there but its hard to make out. Overall a pretty nice toy but abit smaller than I expected. Sure it looks big after you put the high mobility armour on it but that's like a huge brick and I don't really like that mode. I give the toy a 7/10.

I was also surprised how small the figure was when I got it. But I think its super duper. This is my first SOC fig, and the quality is excellent.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 it's cool for the fact it's 1/60 (supposebly). My bro only got this one, he's being punished by having it wrapped and not to open till July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) New magazine scan thanks to Toysdaily. New T-28 and Black Ox. Edited April 23, 2008 by IXTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Interesting... I've never seen the Testujin anime, but I have always wanted the SOC figs of T-38 and Black Ox for some reason... think the simple design just makes them really fun looking figures. These two pictured above are kinds ugly, but the joints system bit shown on the T-28 sketches is really neato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV EVA-02 is supposed to be released later this month. Rebuild EVA-02... my best guess would be the end of the year at the earliest, depending on the movie schedule. The Tamashii SPEC series has enough figures lined up till about Jul or Aug. TV EVA-00 (May), TV EVA-01 Renewal (June), L-Gaim (Jul/Aug?).

eriku Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Grrr...I can't decide which version of Raideen I like better. The extra accessories don't interest me, but it's the difference between the white and chrome that I can't decide on. Why must you make things so difficult, Bandai, WHY?!
