Alex Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Awesome idea! I may just go scouting for some proper nice rubber tyres myself when my MH arrive. Careful though coz you'll have to slice through the tyres. But if you don't much care for them it really isn't an issue.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Careful though coz you'll have to slice through the tyres. But if you don't much care for them it really isn't an issue. That's why i got the second type (stick) for experimentation. Gonna be a long count of months before we get Houquet an Yellows ride...
Shun Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) anyone knows or can recommend some (online) store where i can get Megahouse for somewhat 'normal' price? Edited March 28, 2008 by Shun
jenius Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Are you in the US? I'm not sure if he has more in stock but I got mine from laftoys.com
misterryno Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks I had to cut off the wheels on the MH because I couldn't just pop them off. So, they're trashed now. I just bought some rubber tyres from a model store and popped them on. RIGHT ON!!! I will be looking for some soon myself. THANKS!
misterryno Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Are you in the US? I'm not sure if he has more in stock but I got mine from laftoys.com Nope....he's out . I'd like to get a second Scott/Stick.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Man, I want see more pics of the Beagle bike. I'm thinking it would look great right next to the classic Gakken.
konimon Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Man, I want see more pics of the Beagle bike. I'm thinking it would look great right next to the classic Gakken. That Beagle is nice. I'd love some more angles as well. I am particularly interested in the suspention.
EXO Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 BEAGLE! BEAGLE! BEAGLE! Man with the beagle ride armor, the thunder hammer, the appleseed figures and the Aliens power loader, I'm just so happy with my collection.
Alex Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 BEAGLE! BEAGLE! BEAGLE! Man with the beagle ride armor, the thunder hammer, the appleseed figures and the Aliens power loader, I'm just so happy with my collection. How the hell did you happen to find that pic of the "Beagle" in "ride armor".? That's pretty funny. You dressed him up yourself. Admit it. Poor animal.

Poor animal. Just do a photo search on Google for "Beagle armor" and it comes right up. Found you out, EXO! On a side note, I did a Google photo search for "Beagle Ride Armor" and I got this:
bluecyclone Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 The MH's are here in SoCal if anyone is interested, I went and picked up both at Maybangs, EchoBase Toys has them in stock as well. www.maybang.com www.echobasetoys.com
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Fantastic. They really nailed the rider figure-- the riding posture he's capable of looks great. The face sculpt is also well done-- much better than the kiddified sculpt on the MH. Minor nitpicks-- the bike's front faring seems to curve slightly downwards, when it's completely straight in the line art. It still looks good, but it's artistic interpretation that I could do without. It makes the bike look less beefy than it originally did, but it is very minor and very tastefully done, and does lend the design some realism and grace. A few of the surfaces and edges also seem to have been smoothed out, sort of like what CMs did with its Legioss design-- again, I would have preferred them to be more angular, but it's a valid artistic interpretation. I still would prefer beefier legs, and the prominant position of that foot screw is pretty screwy. Maybe they'll cover it with a cap. Overall, pretty incredible. I have to see this thing in Armor mode. I actually like the more rounded look of the bike. The bike alone looks very beefy and rounded altogether in the lineart tho' the front IS straight. So far all the toys of the bike made have failed in capture that muscle-street-bike look that I like so much. Beagle really tried hard to make the bike looks great on her own whereas most companies only care about the armor mode. I guess this pic means that Toynami decided to scrap his Ride Armor on behalf of Beagle's. That or Toynami will try to compete against it. I hope we still get a US release. I'm in Mexico, but a US release is always cheaper than a Japanese one.
EXO Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I'm surprised someone complained about that and not about how ugly and unstreamlined the megahouse one is... This is something they need to do with the Bubblegum Crisis... make it look more contemporary and not outdated without sacrificing the look of the design. Man... I hope Beagle makes BGC figures with motoslaves at 1/10. It would be a wet dream come true.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) By the way EXO, are we gonna see recast of that 1/48 Thunder Hummer of yours? Edit: Nevermind, just saw the thread Edited March 29, 2008 by Lonely Soldier Boy
Save Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Not sure if this info has been talked about so here it goes. Beagle is producing (making) the toy but it will be distributed by Yamamto here in Japan. At Tokyo Anime Fair Beagle told us that it will be distributed outside of Japan by......... Toynami. Rumor going around the toy industry is that the Japan price is looking to be about 60000 yen, this is not a typo yes sixty thousand yen. Well it is only a rumor as of now.

Shun Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 60000yen.....wahahahahhahaha thanks Saverobotech for the info

Ouch, you buy one and touch it maybe once.... I wonder if Toynami's will be any cheaper, I can see them having a great deal of trouble marketing a $300 toy.
CoryHolmes Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Ouch, you buy one and touch it maybe once.... I wonder if Toynami's will be any cheaper, I can see them having a great deal of trouble marketing a $300 toy. Do the math again. 60,000 yen = ~$600 USD. That hurts just thinking about it.
Fort Max Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Do the math again. 60,000 yen = ~$600 USD. That hurts just thinking about it. Oops, I meant £300. My maths is just fine, my typing however...
bsu legato Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 That is a nice looking toy. Hell, it's an awesome looking toy. But it's not a $600 toy. Let's hope that's just an ugly rumor.
gilermo Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Oops, I meant £300. My maths is just fine, my typing however... 300 pounds?! that's still around 600 bucks (378 euro's). I will have to think about that one, not too many people will own a beagle than, couse 600 smackers buys you a lot of MH´s
ShadowerV2 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 60,000 YEN?! To be honest that sounds insane. I can't think of the last time there was one toy that is so great I would fork out that much for it.

I paid half that much for CM's limited Genesic GaoGaiGar and Great BaanGaan each and those were huge crazy awesome toys.
drifand Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I wonder what will Toynami call it since they already have their own 'Masterpiece' edition-in-a-faux-book. 'Super Masterpiece'? 'Masterpiece Extreme'?
eriku Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 The only way I could see Toynami associating themselves with a $600 toy is if they did a pre-sale through Robotech.com so they could order an exact amount from Beagle and not be stuck with any.
Fort Max Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I wonder what will Toynami call it since they already have their own 'Masterpiece' edition-in-a-faux-book. 'Super Masterpiece'? 'Masterpiece Extreme'? As I understood the interview from Toyfair, the Beagle version is the Masterpicee one and the MH version is some kinda standard version.
promethuem5 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) $600? Not a chance... it'll only be like three or four inches taller than the MH.... 1/10 sclae is not huge or anything... this figure should at most cost about a hundred... a the end of the day it's still mostly just a 6-8" action figure with a transformable accessory. Edited March 29, 2008 by promethuem5
Tober Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 At 1/10 it would only be about 1 inch taller than the MH. Be interesting to see who's prepared to pay $600 for a 17cm toy from a company that hasn't made a transforming toy before. $600 = SV-51 + YF-19 + YF-21 + both Megahouse Ride Armours.
drifand Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 For all we know, the 60,000 figure is just to work up the hype. When it turns out to cost only 30,000 yen or some such, we'd eat it up like nothing. :-)
