As for Beagle, I can't name a single thing they've done nor can I recall reading anything about any of their products, so I don't know what to expect from them.

Beagle don't appear to have a website.

They were involve with the Ghost in the Shell 1/7 Motoko Kusanagi SAC 2nd GIG PVC figure which I like alot, even if it doesnt look exactly like her.

Beagle products at BBTS

Beagle products at HLJ

I'll certainly wait to hear some reviews of the Ride Armor before buying one, regardless of how great it looks. Nothing makes you feel like you wasted your money quite as much as a crappy toy, so I don't like to take my chances.

Whereas I will jump on the first decent preorder that I see. :p

Besides I've got my Megahouses to fall back on if the Beagle turns out to be a lemon or if they only make the single mold.

I just got my MH Stick figure.

The Joint plug from the Rear Side Cover was not included so I can not attach them to his hips. That is the first thing. I will email LOS and report the problem. Hopefully he will be able to get me two plugs for that. But it is a real drag.

So you all have one of these by now and there have been plenty of reviews but just to pitch in on some of my transforming difficulties...

Some of the parts were so tight that I could not move them without almost breaking them. The front suspension part was really hard to get off and when I did finally get it off it ended up with stress marks. At almost each step of the way, something came of that was not supposed to come off and things that were supposed to come off wouldnt. I was unable to complete transformation because the plugs for the Rear Side Covers were not included so I can not attach them to his hips. The adapter for the stand, the one that lets you do flying poses, broke immediately and has no traction anyway so it just falls under his weight. If any of you have a Busou Shinki Figure then you can imagine how difficult handling this thing is, just about as painful. Trying to pose one thing makes another thing fall off and so it takes wayyyy too long to get the pose you are trying and then to adjust it, the whole thing is likely to fall apart.

However, I am glad that i got this, as long as I can get the plug replacements. The figure looks really cool and I LOVE the flat finish SOOOOOOOO much more than the shiny finish of the CMs.

I will probably not be transforming this guy again and since the stand is broken will be very limited in the poses. It does look really cool though.

That is my $0.02.....

Miriya, i too am missing the plug on one of the hip attachments, so i had to use the one from Rand. Rand was no problem though. By the way, i dont use the stand, dont really need it, mine stands ok. For the stand, you should watch teh video on DX Collection, as it explains how to use it. I think maybe you used the flimsy attachment on the stand that wont work.

Thank you! That is very helpful. So do the hands have to be destroyed to use the plugs? The attachement I used was flimsy and does not work. It is good that they include that one.

To the question on the special wepon, Rob from Samurai Monkey told me the following:

"The only way to get that feature was to order it from the megahouse website on a certain day. "

So i dont think too many people will have that.

ahh man, that totally sucks arse. I do hope someone out there can get their hands on it and send it through

to our recasters. Dammit. Why are they so cruel?

Hmm... I haven't even opened the stand on my MH RA... if you're good, you can get the armored fig into plenty of standing poses without looking awkward or leaning too much.

miriya,

Wow......that's sad Brother :( . Sorry to hear that you are missing items. Both of mine were fine and I have not heard of anything missing yet. That really blows. I had a super hard time removing the front fork as well. I ended up using a pocket knife to pry it loose. I thought for sure that if I kept trying to pull it off it would have broke so that is what I resorted to. All in all I would rather have some stuff be tight rather than loose. I used that stupid "flying pose" part of the stand to take the couple of pics that I did and that was it. That thing SUCKED. I am sorry for your misfortune. But I am happy that you like the fig. I hope it lasts you well.

Personnaly, although it shocks me to say so, i like the scott's helm opened, mine actually looks nice, and i HATE Rand's helm when opened, but like his face more in general, and his character. Cant wait to get her lady red bike so they can ride togheter, without the silly helms ;). And i pray to god they make a nice Ariel as well!!!

Miriya, let me know about the missing plug, as i am missing one too, and want to know if manufacturer would send just that piece. Thx

Yeah, I will post here if I get any news on that. Although this thread may be reaching its limit?

Thank you bro. I appreciate your sentiments. It is a very pretty figure and a great sculpt and finish in my opinion. Just not much of a playing toy. I guess I should go to a sex shop for that! :lol:

Oh, come on. . .

I'm actually more tempted to buy another CM's Ride Armor than I am to buy a MH. It's nice to finally have different Mospeada toys to choose between. :)

I finally got my MHs yesterday. I'm going to play around with them for a bit before doing a review (probably sometime next week). It seems to get minuses everywhere the CMs got pluses and and pluses everywhere the CMs got minuses.

Looks like my provider can get me my missing plugs for the Rear Side Covers, houray!!!

Sweet! Who was your provider?

I am sending pictures to my provider who is looking into getting me the parts but it is yet unconfirmed if he will be able to or not.

I got my MH from ROB (Samurai Monkey), but not sure who he is getting it from

Looks like a recast of these little suckers is in order. I'm still waiting for my set and I hope there's nothing missing, but I'm all for recasts of these in case this problem spreads and there is no way of getting replacements :wacko:

LOL :lol: The name on the Avatar for eriku is "Bulkhead" I believe. I will prob. be removing my MH's visors soon to paint them black and make them so they do not open/close.

:ph34r:

I was thinking of just buying a cheapo 1/15 kit and using parts from that, like the visor.

Oh, and I changed the wheels on the MH for some bigger, beefier wheels. Couldn't get the originals off without cutting them off but i'm much happier with them than the weedy ones it came with.

Someone's desperate for a MH mospeada.

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=260221851450

Again!?! Another rediculous price paid for 2 MH's. I should contact the buyer and tell them that I will sell them my 2 for 50-100 bucks less. I would still make my profit :D .
