jenius Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Anybody know the story behind these: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1075119044&ref=list It looks like TakaraTomy made parts available (mail order? at stores?) to make some sort of change to the Strike Dog Actic Gear toy.

I saw it before and thought I was just somebody selling the AGV18's Strikedog separately. Quote

jenius Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Oh damn, they did that parachute Justice... Too bad the toy doesn't handle well, it sure is pretty. Quote
Chet Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Wow. I guess people are still buying this. Maybe the QC issues are isolated cases? Quote

Their original is currently at US$380 right now at amzn-us. Thought I saw it dipped under $350 or less last week. Quote
jenius Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) I need to update my post with an epic arm failure pic of the 3zero when I have a moment. It's gorgeous and well engineered but they need to pay way better attention to materials. It's relegated to a delicately handled display piece that may still require maintenance.

jenius Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Simmer down Tekering. How tall is an Atlas? I assume it's much larger than a Scopedog in the Votoms universe. Quote

I'm using the weight-scale from the Battletech-universe to display the UnSeen mechs. I even put out the links on it. You are aware of the Battletech universe, right? The last pic with the SOC and SDF-1 was just an amalgamated display thing that I thought looks nice enough before I move the items somewhere else in my house.

In Votoms, the mechs (including their cockpits) are clearly Seen: I don't even know what "weight-scale" is, but it obviously doesn't apply to the Scopedog. It turns out we won't be able to communicate after all. Quote

It's quite ok to admit to not know about Battletech. Only a few of us here are familiar with it, and we prolly don't even agree on stuff about it. I tell you what. Why don't you just post your own Votoms toys/kits instead of trying to argue over the internet? Much more fun to just post pics and stuff. Edited December 28, 2017 by treatment Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Some Deformed Votoms figures displayed at C3AFA HK2018 over at B2Five's Booth. Looks like the toys are doing some kind of cross-over with their Acid Rain line. Photos from TagHobby. Quote
treatment Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Not sure if I'll be interested enough to get them, but they do look nicer than Bandai's upcoming 1/60s. Anyway, waiting on the Bloodsucker ATs makes my TCs chase Gnaw around for the time being... Quote
jenius Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Are those the Medicom 5pro because they look the same. Quote

Looks and performs alot better than the upcoming Bandai 1/60 gashapons or whatever that'll actually be. Good that some other companies are still developing stuff for the VOTOMS series. Hope GSC decides to do Nendoroid ATs and characters to compete with this line... Quote
jenius Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 I spent some time today updating my Yamato 1/12 review.... trying to make it more of a Wiki as well as a review. Got pictures of the boxes up and the contents, etc. I've also started doing something that I hope people will find helpful. I've started putting complete scans of the instruction manuals into the review. Quote
Big s Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 In case anyone was like me and put off getting the wave berserga desert type until the ps version came out, the preorder is up finally. Seriously how much trouble is it to at least add a chair and pilot. So like the other ps versions this has the downform joints a seat and pilot, in this case sitting Fyana. Quote
treatment Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Still hoping Arcadia re-start their 1/12 VOTOMS line so I don't have to keep seeing an old Yammie parts-set being ludicrously scalped at 18k-yen and up... Quote
jenius Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Anyone have an extra agV20? I thought I had one pre-ordered but I was wrong. I think Arcadia should do a line of 1/24 action figures and then resurrect the votoms license in that scale. It would jive with their Megazone toys and they could do Macross stuff, maybe patlabor also... Quote

Big s Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I got my bloodsuckers also, but I ran out of time to assemble the scopedog turbo that was included. It was nice that they included the damage parts and ypsillon. The parts around the sides of the head were a bit loose, so I glued them on. Quote
treatment Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) just saw this over at TH: http://www.taghobby.com/archives/276442 Hope that 1/20 Red Shoulder TC from Roots of Ambition is a regular release this time instead... Edited April 25, 2018 by treatment Quote
