Agent-GHQ Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Wouldn't it better to just have a standard paint so that it appear more of an armor than an under garment real cloth? For such an expnsive toy, Beagle could have at least made their armor removable too. EXO - Glad you removed the cloth form the legs. It looks much more appealing!
Hiriyu Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Wouldn't it better to just have a standard paint so that it appear more of an armor than an under garment real cloth? You could remove the cloth and mod the figure on yours as EXO's done. Assuming of course that you actually have a Beagle or are thinking of buying one. I highly recommend picking one up if you have the means; it's so choice.
EXO Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 you really couldn't make it all plastic for some reason because the articulation wouldn't be as good because the armor would hinder movement.
Agent-GHQ Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Assuming of course that you actually have a Beagle or are thinking of buying one. The pics and the toy review has an appeal to me, but I still feel uncertain as I have not seen it in person yet. We are dealing with a near $300 toy which I'm a bit discouraged. Hopefully, there's one at the SDCC so that I can see with my own eyes. However, the Fuke sure looks like a winner!
woll622 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I found a couple of pictures of the box for the Toynami Rand version of the Beagle Cyclone on ebay.
Mog Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 ^^Sorry, but that picture on the box doesn't remind me of the confident, "always keeping a positive outlook on life" Rand I remember. Dude looks like he just realized that he sat on some crap.
DarrinG Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 ^^Sorry, but that picture on the box doesn't remind me of the confident, "always keeping a positive outlook on life" Rand I remember. Dude looks like he just realized that he sat on some crap. The technique for the art is great - as always - but yes, I would not recognize this as Rand/Ray at all.
woll622 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 So far neither of the boxes released so far look like Scott or Rand. Don't get me wrong, the art looks good, But I think they could have done better. Maybe they used helmeted art for the cyclones because they used helmetless art for the Alphas?
EXO Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I think they should sculpt a head based on your avatar woll622... lol.
woll622 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I think they should sculpt a head based on your avatar woll622... lol. I agree!
bluecyclone Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 The Rand MP Cyclone is arriving here in the US. I picked mine up today at Frank & Sons toy show.
Arthurius Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Can someone please take a picture of a 1/48 vf-1 with a beagle in armor mode, and another one with just as soldier (bike on the side). I need to see size comparison.
derex3592 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 here ya go......I don't have it in me to transform the Beagle right now..LOL...but this should give you some idea. 1:48 VF-1 and Beagle.
gilermo Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I just can't get enough of these Beagle ride armors. Where's Fuke? It's getting awfully quiet around her.
Valkyrie addict Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Hi, sorry for asking this, there was thread that dealt with this but I can't find it, anyway, I'm really digging the Beagle 1/10 cyclone, but aside from the head socket being a bit loose, something about the gunsight and the cloth, are there any serious QC issues, like stuff that break by just looking at them or floppiness out of the box?? and is there any price difference between the toynami and beagle?
EXO Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 The windscreen, the seat and the arm armors on the front fork don't lock in very well.
EXO Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I only have the Toynami version but they should be the same. It happens when you handle it but you an display it with no problems.
Valkyrie addict Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 alright, thanks a lot, gotta spend my left over money that I've save by not wasting it on Yamatos on something so I'm getting this baby
derex3592 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 You won't regret it! I got the Toynami Scott and I love it. Be warned though, its more of a display piece than anything else, and you better have LOTS of patience to transform it the first coupla times!!
jenius Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 This isn't anything near official but I understand there is going to be a bit of a break between the Beagle Ley and Beagle Fuke toys. I'm guessing since they won't have the Beagle Yellow ready for Xmas season they'll push Fuke back quite a bit to throw her right in the middle of the big buying season.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Seems the most logical thing to do!!! As long as Yellow and Fuke get produced I'll be a happy camper
DarrinG Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Good news actually. Gives them more time to make it better, and me more time to come up with the money. These are not the days where $200 toys are easily rationalized. My Rand should be here tomorrow I think . . .
RD Blade Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 are there any serious QC issues, like stuff that break by just looking at them or floppiness out of the box??Nothing extreme. Aside from the floppiness EXO mentioned, I also saw a reported case of the viewfinder missing the pin that forms its hinge. IIRC, the pin was found somewhere in the box.
Agent-GHQ Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 So is it best to get the Beagle over the Toynami because of QC issue from Toynami? And what the heck is a Yellow you guys are talking about??? Remember, I knew Mospeada cartoon from Robotech: New Generation so pardon my knowledge here,.... geez!
troyness Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 The QC issues are the same ,as it,s the same everything except the head sculpt, and packaging. Glad to see the neck joint is fixed on the Ray Beagle and that it,s generally a tighter bike!! Can,t wait for Fuke/Houquet ,maybe the screw hole will be covered(going by the proto pics),either way I,m definately going to pic her up,and if Ray,s a bit cheaper-2 birds with the 1 stone.Fuke may come with alot of stickers ,hopefully there,ll be some tampo ( I,m hoping for 06 tampoed on her bike ).

Remember, I knew Mospeada cartoon from Robotech: New Generation so pardon my knowledge here,.... geez! Um - they called Lancer 'Yellow' in Robotech as well, a lot actually. Beagle makes both the Beagle and Toynami versions . . .
Agent-GHQ Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Appreciate the help gents! Also, looking at Exo's SB, his under suit looks too redish. Wasn't it more maroone? Edited July 1, 2009 by Agent-GHQ
derex3592 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Appreciate the help gents! Also, looking at Exo's SB, his under suit looks too redish. Wasn't it more maroone? Maybe a little, but dude, trust me, get the Toynami SCOTT BERNARD and you'll be so busy oohing and aahhing over how freakin cool it is, you won't care! GET IT!!! DO IT!!! COME ON!!! no pressure....LOL! I was very nervous about the QC of these things too, as they are a very complex toy, but they came through! the more of us that buy the first couple, the more likely they are to make ROOK and LANCER--LOL! (lil RT humor there) and hopefully improve them a little!

Agent-GHQ Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hmmm..... I'll be at the SDCC so I'm looking forward to see both version there. Hopefully, the Beagle looks and feels better in person.
RavenHawk Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Just got my Beagle/Toynami Rand. All the parts are MUCH tighter than on my Scott (this is a good thing), but, gotta say, with the tampo and stuff... this one just looks kind of boring to me, at least on the stand when the two are next to each other.
