Shun Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I'm sure it has been asked before...but I'll be happy to ask again...is there anyone out there with any sort of an idea when Beagle will be releasing theirs??? Beagle will be out this Spring (tentatively heh). their design will focus on armor cycle and figure proportion, and it will look compatible when the figure is riding on it (something like that lol). Beagle's first release will be Stick's version only. and yes, Megahouse's will provide a stand too (check the previous posts for HJ? scans), i think CM's stand is just a stick? pathetic.
promethuem5 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I'd buy the CMs figure for like 20, but the $60 number is ridiculous, espc. with such a mediocre review... still got the MH's on preorder tho.

Right right.....thanks for the answer mate.
do not disturb Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 i was just over on LAFtoys and its say the MH one is only 5"? is this true? only 5"? tell me it ain't so....
bsu legato Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 i was just over on LAFtoys and its say the MH one is only 5"? is this true? only 5"? tell me it ain't so.... Sounds about right for a 1/15 scale figure.
misterryno Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 i was just over on LAFtoys and its say the MH one is only 5"? is this true? only 5"? tell me it ain't so.... It aint so Feel better now?
GobotFool Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 It aint so Feel better now? The megahouse base figure should be about the same size as the shogo figure that came with the garland, the garland being 1/15 and all. With the boots it might be a little larger.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Funny... the smaller tyres on the MHouse is a no issue for me now, as the CM kinda puts me off with them being too big (in armour mode). Of course seeing more side on shots and the CADs of the MHouse has really confimed my love for them. btw the Beagle looks great, but the legs look too thin, i don't know maybe i'm wrong but i like the MHouse stocky legs. Only cads for the beagle, be awesome to see how the beagle looks as a production sample!

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 I thinks it's a joke because his name is stick.
eriku Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) I'm glad that I've never been very interested in stands. Typically I just see them as clutter. And honestly, if that really is the stand for the CMs, I looks very unobtrusive and functional. It does it's job and doesn't get in the way. Kudos, CM's. Edited February 3, 2008 by eriku

I agree, stands are nice and all, but they certainly don't make the toy.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I wonder how delicate the MH ride armor is?
drifand Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Yes, folks... the CM's is VERY FIDDLY. Got my pair for 53USD each on Sunday here in Singapore. I love the detailed faces and the effort to make it perfect transformable, but in truth, you will probably have to remove the hip armor for easier access, etc. I managed to break the tinted windshield on both bikes. The first was broken in box, the second I simply snapped off because the peg is just too delicate anyway. I glued both back and they're more secure now. (I believe from TIN's first pic that his windshield is also re-glued in place.) I'm keeping these but already hoping for a more fun experience with the slightly larger MH version.
Sam Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 man o man, hearing this im like' so excited t o get these! ' and then ' oh crap i hope it doesn't tick me off too much ! ' hoping i dont have the resentment i felt towards the orguss palm actions after finding the fiddle factor too high, to happen with these.... =-( Im looking forward to beagle pics, cuz 1/10 should be a sweet spot size wise, just about marvel legends figure size IMO
eriku Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 hoping i dont have the resentment i felt towards the orguss palm actions after finding the fiddle factor too high, to happen with these.... =-( Wheras I'll be perfectly happy if they're like the Orguss Palm Action figure because I found those to be sturdy and not very fiddly. Hopefully with the three or four different Ride Armors there will be one to please everyone.

Shame to hear that the windshields broke - glad you got 'em fixed. But man, that would annoy me ...

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks for posting all these pics. You can see all the screw holes better when it is posed at all kinds of angles. Will be getting these! Pricey, but I don't think I will actually break them since I don't play with my toys much. (Left my banpresto valks for about 2 years without touching them) Any other reviewers of them got a comment to say about these? Are the joints stiff? I'm just so glad that toys for this show are coming out. Edited February 5, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Ivan Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, I saw the Rey and Stick type at a hobby shop today, but couldn't tell which is which, as the box designs are almost identical. Does anyone know how to distinguish the two? Thanks. Edited February 5, 2008 by Ivan
hutch Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 All coloration, I believe. Maybe some weaponry?

Does anyone know how to differentiate the two? Thanks. For those who can't decipher the moonspeak, the box with the RED stripe is STICK TYPE... BLUE stripe for LEY TYPE. Text for both are also printed in corresponding colors.

do not disturb Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 i'm even more glad i skipped these after looking at this pic... terrible, just terrible. the guy took all those photos but none showing them combined, why?
eriku Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Maybe he didn't push them together all the way? More of us will know soon when the HLJ orders start coming in. Mine shipped on Friday...
magicsp00n Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 the guy took all those photos but none showing them combined, why? There's a second page showing them combined. Click the link on the bottom of the first.
konimon Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Here is a link to ride armor pics: http://pony-hp4.web.infoseek.co.jp/MOS2.htm As DND spotted, front fork + arm armor parts are just not right... Reviewer had put those parts together forcefully with tape. Also in a previous post, wind shield comes in wrong size. It can be fixed but not without weakening the part. Left and right joint parts inside upper leg armors are swapped and are difficult to take apart. Following are more Mospeada owner rants I've collected so far: Steering parts are upside down... Most parts are as loose as Bandai GFF. Screws that hold wheel diecast parts become loose easily. Shoulder armor pin won't fit without excessive force. Targeting scope parts won't go in all the way, so it remains too high. Stick(no pun intended) stand part is a joke, although it happens to use the same pin size as Bandai action base.

danth Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Yippee, my CM order from LAF Toys is processing! They look so pretty in the pictures! I hope they don't turn out to be pieces of crap.

Sundown Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 It's so strange the the CMS Ride Armor and CMS Legioss/Tread are the opposite ends of the spectrum. The Ride Armor has a pretty darned good sculpt and accurate transformation for a pretty challenging subject. Yet it seems cheaply made and appears to be delicate and fiddly. The Legioss is the exact opposite, with bizarre deviations in transformation and yet looks solidly built. It's like CMS is schizophrenic or something. We know they're related only because both are rediculously overpriced. If CMS used a better looking plastic and it wasn't as crumbly as it sounds, I think I'd actually pay 60 for these.
