Metal Cardbot coming to the US
- Thread starter Steevy Maximus
- Start date
God I need to get me some Metal Cardbots but I don't wanna wait for more US releases of the ones I want so chances are I'll just end up ordering them direct from Korea or some jive.
I have yet to see any in stores or anything. I ordered Solid from amazon and I know I paid way too much, but I don't care.
I'd say if you see one or a few that speak to you, get them ordered now. The world is going to hell, enjoy your giant robots.
Has anyone seen the Tyrant Zero figure? I want one, but man he's super pricey. And with this new law that's just being enforced, makes him that much more expensive.
So since i can't have him, I decided to treat myself to Agabyss's Botcon offering of Black Rex Kaiser. Anyone else into this robot line?

I don't know that I'll get the limbs and other combiner bits for him, but by himself Rex Kaiser looks good. I'm looking forward to getting mine.
Hopefully Agabyss does all of the seasons of Metal Cardbot and I'll be able to get Tachi and Tyrant Zero without too much trouble in the future.

Looking at the pictures of the full combined version, I think Rex Kaiser looks better on its own. Dunno if I can swing it right now, though.
There's apparently still 5 or so Rex Kaisers left available.
Blastrain and others are now up for preorder. I got Blastrain and Glober preordered for $100. A way better price than any import stores have. Really hoping Agabyss will have the rest, like Tachi and Tyrant Zero in the future.

So if anyone is interested in the show behind the figures, I just learned there's english fansubs available, that embed on top of the official youtube uploads. Seasons 2 and 3 are up to date, season 1 is in-progress, but there is an official dub of that(that I'm not particularly fond of the voices for) that covers the remaining episodes..
tachy is an awesome figure
that is all
that is all
Tachy is indeed Very Good.
She's got a Generations/Studio Series level of articulation - the only thing she could even be said to possibly be missing is an ab crunch, if anything. If I had to pick any negatives, its that she's very back heavy without her boots attached. Its too bad she doesn't have a way to hold any guns, either.
Very posable though, and a good hand-puzzle! There's no instructions in the original release(don't know if US versions get some) but I was able to work out her transformation fine, without any parts unexpectedly detaching(as her bappy paws gloves/car sides are designed to detached as part of the process). Figuring out where her feet went was probably what I had the most trouble with, though its obvious once you spot it. Also have to mention that rotating the handpaws making the claws slide in was a inspired touch to deal with that part of the transformation.
She also has good clearance and rolls well in car mode.
The original release cards have NFC chips embedded also(to be read by the Metal Breath roleplay toy), but not sure if the US ones have one? Curious to see what kaiju it generates in Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher... *edit* apparently only the S1 bots had NFC cards in the Korean release, but the CHinese releases of the later bots may still have them.
Also interesting side note when comparing with Hasbro's offerings is her retail in Korea, after currency conversion, is the same as our Voyager prices. She's pretty big though - her box is practically the same size as Big Convoy's.
