(Amazon.co.jp, DHL) Initial thought is it looks pretty good in hand. Limbs are a little more loose than I'd like. WTF??? DHL is absolutely screwing up everything where I live. My previous Mafex Cap shipped before Houquet and has just disappeared and it looks like Houquet is about to go the same way. Quote

Kudos to Sentinel for at least sticking to this.. Now if only Bandai is that committed to complete a line instead of giving us blue balls.. Quote

All complete with two sets. The design, engineering and overall look is beautiful. My two should be here Monday or Tuesday. Very excited! Quote

I should've kept it so I can display both modes altogether. That way no more transformation. Less worry on those joints that breaks easily after a number of transformation. Oh well. Gotta let go of some stuff when you hit certain walls. But if Sentinel ends up doing the series design... that's a different story. Quote
Duymon Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) wasn't there that new Mospeada side story that was announced back in 2019 (before the world went nuts) ? Wonder when/if we'll see news about. this more now that the main cast of Mospead has been done in Ride armor and Legioss form Edited April 25, 2022 by Duymon Quote

tekering Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 And after another rigorous round of casting... ...I think I've finally found my Houquet. 👍 Quote

I’ve been scouring the eye decals, And have not found anywhere how do I put this… the top half of the eye is bigger than the bottom half and it’s not such a cat Eye look. You know the 80s kind of style. Anyway yours are a bit like the modern ones too but they look better than the otheroptions I saw. Do you happen to know what manufacturer and sheet number that is? Thanks! Quote
lavinrac Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Well I finally have this toy in hand. And I am happy. I mean I guess the pink thing I see it but it doesn’t bug me because I haven’t been able to get this figure in any other line any other scale ever. The fact that the front visor doesn’t stay in down position is more annoying than color. I think once I follow the decal route the route shown here I will be satisfied. I’ve been wanting a figure of her since the 80s when they had those cruddy little partsformers That’s still impressed my preadolescent self Quote
Mog Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Just got her delivered. . . . Yep, she’s pinkish red (or reddish pink). Give me a couple of days. #HouquetRouge! Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Mine is being delivered today and I'm currently out. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 I haven't realized that the exposed white tab connector on the chest in Ride Armor mode is kind of big. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 I checked for other available videos regarding the bazooka when it's mounted on the bike. The video above mentioned it's angled up. Forcing it down might break. The video below also showing the same. Promo pics below shows one that is angled straight and one that is angled up like what was shown in the videos above. Quote

Maybe a small cut (the part in red) will all it to be level. Quote

I don't have mine yet so hopefully those who already have her can confirm about the bazooka if it's straight or upward when it's mounted in bike form. Quote

jenius Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Huh, it looks like the Stick and Ray figures were transposed in the toy version. Still super fun way to display them! Quote

Mog Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 WIP still, but Houquet is feeling feisty and defiant, now that she’s out of the pink. #HouquetRouge! Quote

Mog Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Regarding the bazooka, it seems to mount straight on mine. The connecting joint on the weapon rotates pretty much 90 degrees. And the chest/front assembly pieces that the bazooka mounts to can be a little finicky to angle and connect correctly. So, maybe all that’s causing the happy bazooka syndrome? Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Unboxed it last night. Her face doesn't look that bad to me. The pink color isn't noticeable in my dark display cabinet. Place it under a light bulb and yep hot pink. Quote

Mog Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Nah @Roy Focker, the pink is pretty noticeable: One half unpainted, the other half painted: Our phones tend to saturate the pics a bit, making the pink look a little more red than it is in real life. Quote
