    DA-11 was the reissue where they changed some things. I haven't had any issues with any of the DA-01s I've owned or the DA-11. I imagine DA-45 will use the DA-01 version of Diabattles.

    Specifically the ankles were tightened a little on DA-11. I imagine 45 will be the 11 mold, but besides the paint 11 and 1 are technically identical. Maybe some calipers could discern which is which for those inclined? haha

    Thanks guys! I couldn’t find the alpha plus version but found the first release one. Actually held the set in my hands but couldn’t bite the bullet on this figure! LOL!

    Not bad but I'll be passing on both of these, not getting black battles and the epsilon suit looks dull like that.

    Green Epsilon is awesome but really now, the original one is waay superior just because you can give a skull head for the battle buffalo!

    Kind of strange to release it in camo green, but I surmise that it might be because previous twin releases for the powered suits were in camo green too.

    Would've preferred they release it in standard parade colors (blue, red, yellow) or maybe the space color scheme (white) just to match that recent buffalo. In fact, white epsilon would be rad since it'll look like a bleached skull color! :D

    I don't know. I may get DA-48. I am already committed to getting DA-45, and it goes with it, so... sure. Depending on what the price is.

    DA-48 was expected and looks fantastic. And yes, according to the TTM page it does include the Cosmo alternate head.

    DA-49 I'm really psyched about. I was just talking with my friend yesterday about how we should be seeing a new Epsilon colorway any day now. The Marines have been lacking as of late (though I'd love to see one of the larger DB, BB, Triverse) so I'm pretty pleased with it. The pop of the yellow-orange on the head really gives it a unique look among the other Marine releases.

    I never did get the Cosmo Maneuver set.
    Looks like another new one I may end up getting.
    Ugh, I need to stop visiting this thread. It's hard on my wallet.

    Or so I keep telling myself... and by the gods is it getting harder to convince myself of that. This is such a kickass piece.

    Hey guys. I’m updating a spreadsheet I keep for personal use. I’m looking for ideas on what data to collect. I have identification number, name, number owned, manufacture date stamp, Dianauts/Warudroid details (open face / male / red-white w/ gold emblem; Clawed / Gold Visor / Red-Translucent Gray), Dianauts / Warudroid Rank (Sometimes the box makes this easy and says Commander in English), MFRP, Price Paid, Preordered / Released New / Second Hand, Store Purchased From

    I’m just curious if anyone could give me some more ideas on data to aggregate. Thanks :)

    Is this for overall mold, or for single products if a mold? Either way, how about weak tolerances, or weak joints?
