>>11138253The mask feature is so fucking cool. I guess they'll announce a price within the next few days.
>>11138255Geared head raising gimmick is there tooKinda disappointed that there's only one cockpit, no extra support machines like V2.
https://twitter.com/Diaclone_log/status/1830802904569033136I thought the rear canopy thing was a 2nd cockpit but it's more of a drone and doesn't open according to the toy show prototype pics.
>normal face's brow ridge is the eyes for the masked formThat's a bit weird, but it's still cool.
Oh hey the knee guards have treads. explains the land modes in >>11138259

>>11139681No.52 Design a Good Color Scheme Challenge (Impossible)Black and teal are great Nemesis colors in general but the placement and color separation on this is awful.
>>1114011052 are the box people
>>1114011557, my bad. Though the beast box people aren’t great at making color schemes either.
>>11140016>>11140058Well, I guess it's only 24k on Ami, but still...
>5k yen discount on AmiamiIs it just from the omission of Japanese sales tax? Shipping will probably fuck you over just the same though since the (single shipment) tag indicates that the box will be XBOXHUEG.
>>11140496Now you're just talking crazy. The vast majority of 52Toys stuff has great color sense, there are only a handful of actually ugly ones. Fifty Seven, on the other hand, only lucked into a few decent colorways at the beginning, and it's been nothing but trash since.
>>11140868Lol yeah I am talking crazy. I genuinely don’t get the BB hype but I’m not going to yuck anyone’s yum.
New Bulkarm
He's got a 2nd head for an open cockpit look too
Any EU-based anons here? Where do you pre-order Diaclone stuff?
>>11140991This is one of the ugliest things in Hexa so far.>>11140993Yet this seems awesome. It's kind of giving me Dog from HL2.

>>11141239>old support vehicles from V2 are compatible with new moduleswell ok that's new
>>11141249
>>11141249They should re-release V2 then
Mask seems to line up with the eyes proper unlike >>11138253
Kinda-sorta want X1 because I don't know when my V2's back clip and thigh pegs will give out, but then again X1 is 2~3x what I bought V2 for back then.
>>11141261I'm new to this and I think the left one looks cooler... I'm not sure if I want X-1
power suit compatible as well
I definitely want an X-1, but I've never been a huge fan of the D-calibur colors, and the price seems a bit steep for my taste. I think I'll roll the dice and wait to see if they do a recolor. It would look really sick in Storm Sabre colors or black. Maybe even moon base colors.
>>11141027Kapow Toys (taxes are not that bad, but they don't get all the releases) or tf-robots.nl.
>>11141027Any reason why you can't order directly from Japan? It's almost always cheaper than local retailers, since they pass the import/shipping fees on to customers anyway
>>11141708>>11142485Thanks, I just ordered from hobby-genki with pay later. DHL shipping was suspiciously cheap, hope they won't charge me more at the release.

>>11143542Yeah, it's pretty smushed. Ordered M.S.G #27 Demonic Arm with the kit specifically to give it some extra length. Came out fairly well, colors matched perfectly. Though I had to cannibalize some crucial parts from a couple other kits for it to work. Excuse the dogshit photo.>>11144030Holy fuck. Just went through their twitter and saw it, looks insane. Needs two bases and three arms to support it.
First Heaxgear release I’ve seen that’s interested me, absolutely adore this design.I’ll admit I’ve not paid close attention to the line - are there any more kinda like this?
Tee hee>>11144658Hexagear, even
>>11144658They've done a few little animals under the Alternative line. Messer Float and Track Down are both pretty nifty little kits.

I'm interested in getting this Vic Viper as my first non-Bandai model kit, were the prior ZoE2 kits good quality?
>>11145418If the huge ass Steelrain can change without any partsforming, this thing can.
So anyways more frog
Shit I thought I had the actual model of this saved not the fanart
>>11143306Can these be disassembled limb by limb sort of like plamo? I don't know much about these and only saw pics of head swapping.
>>11146130Bright colors aren’t the problem. The problem is that whoever makes these decisions at 52toys/No.57 doesn’t seem to have a basic understanding of color theory, and just green lights the most uninspired combinations imaginable.
>>11146935Yeah they are finished parts all connected by 4mm pegs. The base body in pic can be broken down even further. I wouldn't say they are like plamo, more like Revoltech or those partsforming Transformers weaponizers.There used to be custom builds bashed together with other diaclone, hexagear and other toylines but that you don't see that often now.
>>11146935Sort of. They come apart into less pieces than you'd expect (or at least, I'm not willing to pull harder on some pieces because it feels like it will break even if the plastic is clearly color separated). So I mostly felt like it was a "swapping around lightly" toyline rather than an intensive building one.
>>11146960Because of this, this line is really only viable to me if you're willing to paint. Most of their color schemes are just so flat and fucking dull. Big shame, cause the few I own are excellent quality. The colors are literally the main thing keeping me away, they need to hire someone new to handle that.
stupid sexy red V-Thor...
>>11149265He's a big kit, well worth grabbing though. Happy they're gonna sell his swords seperately too, they're awesome.
>>11146960I would have liked the bear better if they'd simply added some highlights to the original red.
>>11151303My thoughts too. The colors they picked look like actual diarrhea. But it wouldn't look like shit if they just had an accent color for highlights
>>11138255The original release was absurdly fragile and I've been scared to touch it for years because every time I do some new crack appears or tab snaps... But this doesn't excite me as much as a redo of Diabattles V2 should, the aesthetic has shifted too much and it looks a lot 'busier' to me in a way I don't like. even the other modes shown here >>11138259 look markedly different and messier to me than the original's clean look.
I recently learned that 30MM has a fantasy line, and I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a spear guy, or a weapon pack that had a spear. I'd love to try and create a final fantasy style dragoon.

The Liber faction's Fighter body and packs are coming out in November.https://bandai-hobby.net/item/6235/https://bandai-hobby.net/item/6252/Multiple mainline 30MM packs already had spears though, so you could also pick those up and give to one of Knights that are already out.Rest of the jobs herehttps://bandai-hobby.net/site/30minutes_fantasy/job.html
There was a Beastbox stream on douyin earlier but I missed it, apparently they had some new reveals or whatever but there are no archives of it yet.What's available though are promotions for upcoming Beastbox's upcoming multimedia lore campaign, involving comics, videos and novels.https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Eb42e9ECv/https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9175718116General impression is that it will be like digimon, BBs paired up with human kids on the cube planet

>>11156938Sounds like the prologue is>AI advances until it goes rogue>A human faction tries to counter them by creating bioweapons but accidentally creates what's equivalent to the Flood ("tai sui")>Meanwhile a survivalist faction takes refuge deep underground in the Arctic. >AI creates robots made out of magic metal to fight the biomonsters and manages to seal them in the Antarctic. >AI ascends to another plane of existence leaving behind their robots (in the form of cubes?)>A lot of time passes.>The survivalist humans and sealed biomonsters both emerge from the respective Poles and fight over domination of the Earth.>Humans quickly find themselves needing to make use of the Cubes.>The Cubes or rather Boxes can scan and make use of other lifeforms' DNA to transform, hence you get Beast Boxes. Comic starts after this
>>11156991>The Cubes or rather Boxes can scan and make use of other lifeforms' DNA to transform, hence you get Beast Boxes. So, basically the protoforms from Beast Wars? I guess it works
>>11156938They will be launching a collectible card line. You can buy them in packs of 5 but they will also be included in new stuff. more fluff whatever.More renaming is going to happen. All related lines will be consolidated under the "Beast Box" brand. The lines will be differentiated by suffixes i.e. previous original IP Mega Box will be renamed "Beast Box Mega", collabs with external artists and IPs will be under "Beast Box Infinity" (names are my own translations, probably won't be accurate since Mega Box and Infinity Box share the same Chinese name)
They didn't have enough space or budget to make Cyclops' cab a 2-seater but Stryker says you can still stick a 2nd pilot somewhere.New 4cm box + vehicle/armor line is called 超兽机This line opens up the possibility of the boxes not being the central item. It's like expanding on bonus items until they are the main item, i think?
Koala is officially named 呆呆 Dai Dai which means "retarded" but in a cutesy way, like Ben Ben.
>>11157033i think the english name might be "Dummy" but I'm not paying for HD, someone do an AI upscale.
>Beast Box - Infinity Xenomorph 2.0
>>11157040Alien 2.0 proto will be at WF shanghai (2/10)This mechanical greeble cube was long ready, but they felt that it still needed some kind of "small tool" (probably for disassembling it?) hence the delay. They plan to collab with external artists to create variations in their styles. They've also hooked up with more external artists for box and card art. The Koala's by a new guy. Jojo 2.0's colored proto is ready but they weren't able to bring it. It's coming Q1 2025.
>>11151557I think diaclone in general has been going that direction. I recently got a DA-42 Trijetter(oldest set in my collection) and it's a hell of a lot simpler than the Horus versaulter. It's a bit bigger, but it has probably half as many moving parts
>>11158585>>11151557I have my Diabattles original and Battle Buffalo, I think I can be happy with that. After a lot of initial excitement, I don't think I really dig where Diaclone has been going. Lots of little powered suits with not particularly good designs, and overly complicated new stuff where the aesthetic seems to be shifting a bit.
Fancy page for Diabattles X1 is uphttps://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/diaclone/product_details/da-109/There's some lore about how the new mech modes are based on ancient giant lifeforms, and something having a "barrel-ass"
>>11159699gargoyle barrel lookin ass
>>11159702um no sweaty ur the gorgo barrel looking ass.
>>11159057I wouldn't call the new battles complicated but more so overcompensated. When you remove all the excess of boosters it has a far cleaner look. Same goes for the separate units when you just attach a bullet core to them >>11141249. I haven't reached the point where I'm tired of tactical movers or dilactone in general I just hope they introduce a series of base items alongside new trivers.
>>11159699Damn, it looks so much better with the Base Fighter bullet core that I'm actually disappointed they didn't use one as the default
>>11159699>>11159853>>11159958I’m so happy to finally have new Diaclone to look forward to, even if it’s a re-do. It’s been years since I felt any investment in the line. Everything has either been too big, or milking the same tired idea, or just random “display filler” vehicles. X-1 is like a rabbit hole of playability and modularity.
Bulkarmbros, we're back to winning.
>>11160951He looks awesome, love the horns and his big stick.
>>11160951>>11160963This doesn't appeal to me, looks like an upgraded Helmwige Reincar. But then again, everyone seemed to love that MS and I thought it was dead ugly, so maybe I'm the outlier.
>>11160951The color scheme is a bit surprising, but it still looks great.
>>11160951Send help. They keep releasing such cool kits and I can't help but buy them. I've got three just sitting there waiting to be built, with more on the way.

Autonine arrived last week
>>11162812Can I get a quick review? I'm torn between buying this or Earnestcore Kinkou.Does the human figure feel durable? How much of a pain in the ass is it to switch between bike and robot mode?
>>11163124I’ll give it to ya.The stand alone figure scales with literally nothing. I understand this thing has been in prototype phase for a really long time but I don’t know why they couldn’t play with scale slightly so that it was a bit more 1/24th.Regardless, she seems pretty durable but some joints are very small and will likely need tightening. The articulation is decent- 90 cut on elbows, double jointed knees, limited ankles, but that’s for standing stability. Obviously the bike body is pretty static but it gets her in the perfect position to grab the handlebars. The hands are a bit of a mess, flexible plastic that barely holds weapons, but one pair are closed enough to stay around the handlebars and plug into the sleeves.The robot is kinda whack. My copy is floppy in the shoulders, which is a result of being where the bike ports are. Some joints are really tight and others are just oddly placed. There’s lots of moving parts in the legs but not everything is helpful. Transformation is extensive enough to be a bit of a process but doesn’t leave you with tons of bits and pieces laying around… the set has enough of those when put together, as is. There’s a bunch of different grips and the optional wheel feet that are just… desperately in need of storage.But all in all, the plastic quality is what I expect from ECC and the accessories are super cool. I just don’t think the pilot is good enough a figure on her own to be displayed separately and the bike mech is too goofy looking without her.
>>11163224Hmm, ok, thank you for filling me in. I'm honestly not thrilled by this color scheme so maybe I'll wait and see if they release a repaint, they seem to like doing that.
Does anyone know if the 30MM Armored Core kits are going to get a second printing?

>>11143542my thought exactly. very odd choice.>>11138253this is a very clever and sensible way to have a head get bigger for a super mode while still being the same head. now why that would be necessary, god only knows
>>11161117taste is a funny thing. I think these are both fantastic.
>>11165386Yeah, I also thought it was a pretty clever bit of design, the way they built the hinge for the face plate into the bridge of the nose>>11164173The "garbage truck" should be coming out in the next couple months, but I don't think there have been any updates on anything. Personaly, I'm also kinda curious what MFT has been up to. I'm really hoping they do bughead/raptorhead, but I'd bet it'd be a lot easier for them to start doing D vehicle KOs
>>11165563That is indeed clever, I like that. Equally as clever is how his original eyebrow ridge becomes the new eyes. Pretty cool overall.
