protostar8 Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 I found a website that is selling the new mospeada I-men for $2.95 per each set of two and wanted to know some things before I buy them. How posable are they and how tall are they? Also, is there really any difference in the molds of them other than the color for each? Thanks P.S. - The site I found them on including some of the robotech I-men is voyagertoys.com and sorry if mospeada stuff is taboo on this forum. Quote

fearyaks Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) I've got the Robotech ones. Not really poseable. Like Legos on steroids but cool for the price. Edit - they've also got the set of 4 Alpha Super Poseables for $20... that's not too shabby. Edited July 11, 2004 by fearyaks Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 I've seen these and only ones that impressed me were the cyclone ones. Get those! Quote
usagiz Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I like the new generation mecha, and all of the IMEN have ONE thing going for them above all kubrknockoffs, MAGNETIC FEET, this when combined with steel walled cubes at work, perfect! Quote

bigkid24 Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I've seen these and only ones that impressed me were the cyclone ones. Get those! I agree. If I can find them for cheap then I'm just going to pick up the Cyclone ones. The plain figures and alphas don't do much for me. They have the typical Kubrick style articulation (ball joint) at the shoulders and hips. They may even have waist movement. I can't remember. Quote
EXO Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Everyone forgets Rand's cyclone... also the blowsuperior has round arm armors... Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Everyone forgets Rand's cyclone... also the blowsuperior has round arm armors... yeah, and scott's arms suppose to have those cannons on both sides. Quote
MyClone Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I've seen these and only ones that impressed me were the cyclone ones. Get those!   I agree. If I can find them for cheap then I'm just going to pick up the Cyclone ones. The plain figures and alphas don't do much for me. I have these and rather like them. Big Bad Toy Store has the set of five two-packs for $30. If you click on the picture, you'll note that there's just one mech-only set, unfortunately; the rest have one mech and one person per pack. Still, both the Alphas and Cyclones are very nice for Kubrick-style figures, with good paint operations and details. The magnetic feet are also a nice touch. Best, --MyClone Quote

Cyclone Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 If you really want to get pedantic the I-men suffer from a common problem for smaller scale Ride-Armor/Cyclone toys, they all share the same body. That's fine and dandy for Scott and Rand, but Lancer has an entirely different chest and backpack sections, and Rook is entirely different again, not even using the same shoulder covers. And they all have the same gun, so Rook misses out on missile launcher and Lancer doesn't get his SAL-9 But there is no Rand Cyclone in I-men so no troubles with the lack of his pistol Cyc Quote
gerwalk25 Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 I have a Focker/VF-1S battroid I-man. Focker looks pretty cool but it could use more joints. The Battroid on the other hand has a quality flaw; the left arm was not attached on straight so when I swiveled it the peg attaching the arm to the torso snapped halfway. IMHO I'd buy the rest of the Macross I-men open them and flip over the coin w/the RT emblazoned on it down and displaying them. Quote

No Rey/Rand! Boo! Quote
Pat S Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 fearyaks: Got my set from Voyager, thanks for the tip. Love these things. I didn't know that the magnets would stick to the coins. All of mine are surfing now. Quote
jasonkimberson Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 i have the set of Macross saga ones and they are pretty cool. They also just release voltron I-MEN Quote
Khyron Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 They also just release voltron I-MEN Didn't know about them. Probably have to pick up a set. Quote
fearyaks Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 This place had quick shipping and decent prices for the Alpha SPs too. Cool to collect but not at full price! Quote
Skull 001 Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I liked the Valks but hated the character figures that came with them I ended up just taking the helmets off the figures and keeping those. I want the cyclones. Quote
