FlyingPika Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 look at that chest scrapping on the floor in fighter mode ?_? and where is the gun pod actually supposed to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 is that really where the gunpod suppose to go? or did they just redesign that part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 and where is the gun pod actually supposed to go? Right where it is, mounted underneath the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 look at that chest scrapping on the floor in fighter mode ?_? All I can think of is this: Remember way back when they were displaying the first MPC VF-1s at some toy show? They were all horrible looking and transformed wrong. So, unless this thing is a total and utter piece of crap (shut up you guys =P) it's just some ass clown working over at Toynami who doesn't know how to work with thier own product.

Sephiroth Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I'm actually impressed with this offering from Toynami. It appears they actually put a lot of time and detail into this project. I like the color choice as well. The only thing I fear is that this toy will be too small and delicate to be handled constantly, much like Yamato's YF-19. Combined with nice MPC packaging and the potential to be combined with a forthcomming Tread, I think $80 is a reasonable price when compared with the prices that vintage Gakken Alphas go for.

UN Spacy Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 What's the scale for this Alpha? 1/55? If I can get one for $60 to $70 shipped that'd be great. The new pictures make me want to get one now more than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I didn't have plans on getting it but I am impress. I think I just might have to get it. I really like the way it looks. And the gun mounting is correct too. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Just fired off an email to Toynami about the DD Alpha (an Alpha with a chest so large it interferes with normal movement ). I'll let everyone know what the answer is when they reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I think it looks excellent! I like the sleekness of it quite a lot, quite different to the bulky 'kick ur arse' look the 1/55 has (btw, I DO love my 1/55's as well ) size for price is still an issue, but kudos for making a product that actually looks like it might be *worth* paying to get wonder how much shipping to aus will drive up the price eh.....

do not disturb Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 seeing as this is the only other alpha/legioss out on the market outside of the gakken ones, i think i'll be picking one up......yes, even though its an MPC. if its actually a high quality/durable toy, i'll pick up the others as well.

EXO Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 If it feels as good as it looks, i'll get one. Remember how good the VF MPC looked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaramu Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I really like the way the Alpha MPC looks. I'd buy one, but never for $80. Way too much for a tiny toy like that. Maybe when they start getting discounted or show up at Gamestops used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueeyes Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 and where is the gun pod actually supposed to go? Right where it is, mounted underneath the wing. Are you sure about that Cory? I have a book with line art that does picture the gun pod stored under the wing...However, according to the art the MPC Alpha currently has the gun pod under the wrong wing. Still cool that it has that feature though. Anybody else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cool that it has that feature though. Anybody else notice this? Actually, according to the lineart, the gunpod can be mounted under either wing, or even two guns on one Alpha. So technically speaking, there is no "right" wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Well, based on the majority of the time in the series, the right wing is the right wing Cyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 i just threw in the last disc from the robotech discs (sorry, haven't gotten around to picking up the Mospeada discs yet) and there are shots where the alpha has two gunpods, one under each wing.

do not disturb Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 right wing, left wing, who cares? lets just hope the gunpod stays on! knowing toynami's lack of quality, i can only imagine all the non-fitting parts. also, i hope they're offering a parts service cause it sure does have a lot of small moving parts that are likely to break.
