EXO Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 I still have my broken Toynami Alpha. Buyer backed out and someone else wanted a part, but a lot of my PMs didn't make it thru the upgrade. If anyone wants to buy off parts, LMK. hands are crumbling right foot broke right shoulder missile door broke (glued shut) otherwise good as new!

dgco86 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi guys, I just got my very first 1/35 Gakken Legioss today, and I have a question about it. I noticed that both the Legioss' elbows can rotate 360 degrees, but only in 1 direction (clockwise if you're looking from the top with the toy facing you). Is that normal for this particular toy? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think you will find they rotate both ways, but on one I had it was very tight, and kinda 'clicked' when going the opposite direction. Considerign the age of the toys, I would advise not rotating unless you have too, or unless you loosen them somehow first! =-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwfx2000 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 does anyone remember a little 2-3 inch model, in several pieces that was available in the late 80's early 90's in bubblegum/gumball/quarter machines in the united states? i have a couple of these and was looking for some info on them. manufacturer, where to get more. that kind of thing thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model kits you are talking about are gumball machine knock-offs of small die-cast toys produced by Gakken in 1983: For a full review of the originals, head over to Anymoon.com http://anymoon.com/blog/2007/04/08/gakken-135-ride-armors The gumball machine versions came out in 1987 or so and were pretty cool since you could build a Ride Armor army out them. I had about a dozen back in the day I can't say I have ever seen any eBay recently, so acquiring more is going to be a challenge. Many owners might consider them junk and never consider listing them.

EXO Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 I remember I was at a bowling alley when I saw those. I walked passed the gumball machine and I turned around to see if I saw what I thought I saw... man I put a bunch of quarters into that machine. I recasted these a while back for this forum... I might have extra but it'll take some digging to find. Theyre perfect next to the 1/35 Gakken Alpha! oh... I never knew they had the motorcycles by themselves.. thats even more perfect!

bigkid24 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 You guys have got to check this out! http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYKP-119 Is it a model? I was about to pre-order until I noticed that it seems more like a model than toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Is it a model? I was about to pre-order until I noticed that it seems more like a model than toy. It's a model kit. I got Pest X-san the other day and put it together in about 2 hours. There were a few really fiddly moments assembling it, but it's a snap kit that's mostly pre-colored and doesn't require glue. Just be aware that Pest X-san is sold separately. i.e. the Oboro bike kit does not include the rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woll622 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Looks like the Shadow Beta from Toynami is not going to be vaporware after all. The vendor I buy through said that he did not have a specific ship date, but I also saw this listing on ebay stating August 30th. http://cgi.ebay.com/Robotech-New-Generation-Beta-Fighter-Masterpiece-Vol-4-/260643619639?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3caf920337 I hope it ships, I sure would like a full set.

derex3592 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I don't see it ever happening as we actually saw pics of the Barltey prototype on display and that for sure isn't happening...so I think that a Yellow is nothing more than a happy dream.....

gilermo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 R.I.P Mospeada 1983 - 2010....? No news is bad news, we had a good run with a lot of stuff coming out. There was exiding news every day with new legioss(s) and ride armors coming out left and right. We could even be picky about what we wanted, those were some good days... I'm still glad i got 2 beagle ride armors and finally got my Beta(s). We're lucky they still got produced. Here's hoping for an other revival in a few years or so when the economy has picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I heard there was one more last product coming. But it didn't sound too exciting. I'm trying to finalize a kit that I've been working on... nothing big, just something I thought would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I would think a glimmer of hope might be if Toynami does well with the vinyl battlepods, we might see some Invids in that line maybe next year??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 part of the reason the regults are selling is because it's to scale with toynami's 1/100 line of veritechs. I know Maiden Japan included the invids in his which vinyl toy would you like to see poll. I'd be interested in how they would handle it scalewise because there really isn't any scale that they can work with unless people really want to see a 3" vynil invid trooper to go with their masterpiece alpha. They'd probably have to go with the Gosu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a smattering of everything on my shelves, and I kind of like it actually......I say just make them a "good" size" around the same as the battlepods, nice and cheap, and HOOK us UP!!

I'm with you there... I'm just wondering how they would approach it. Scale is so inconsistent in the animation anyway. I'd be down with an invid that was as tall as the 1/100 regult... but then again I sold all my Alphas... so it'll be an invid by itself. I guess I'll get a Matchbox one to go with the 1/35 clunker that i still prefer over the newer Legioss toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my CMs from some guy on the boards here... cheap! but the trooper invid in that scale would be as tall as the voltron, now in terms of size the trooper is a lot rounder, don't know if they are willing to go that route, plus the CMs was never released by Toynami so they wont be scaling it with any of their products.

Maiden Japan Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If we decide to make Mospeada Invids for Robot Vinyl Collection it will probably in non-scale. Just big enough to fit inside the same clear package used for Regult and Voltron figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 ah... I don't have one. So all we need is a 1/18 legioss... lol. I dont have the package for the regult anymore. but that would be a good size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
