No worries; I can take commentary excessively literally at times.

 

These posted yet? I haven't been keeping up with the thread.



Diaclone Reboot accessory and add-on kit maker Emonster is releasing their own line of Powersuits and 1/60 Pilots. More details and display at their WonFes Shanghai booth this weekend.

The pilot figure elevates the mech designs.

 

I adored E.Mosnter’s previous work, so I’m so excited to see a wider release!

Hopefully Toy Dojo will stock them, but Show Z Store almost certainly will, too.

In any case, I love the tri eye heads, and I think EM-03 has the nicest torso of the lot.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more from EM!

 

I really wish I could find those drills for DA-01 I need a load of those.

 

Facts. That pilot is on point.

 

Dude...they hold little heats??? I’m so sold on this line it’s not even funny.

 

Interesting.

I wonder if an alternate non gun hand is provided? Clearly not having the option to remove a long piece is problematic if you want to place them into enclosed cockpits.

Unless these are separate troops .

The figure design is inspiring.

 

Has anyone seen/gotten these?

RIHIO Movable DIY Assembled Minifigure Toy 1:60 Mecha Driver Team Model Action Figure



I just ordered some but curious to know how they'll hold up compared to the dianauts.

22.60$CAD for "15 pcs/set" (+6$ shipping) at Aliexpress.

 

Yeah. They are less detailed than Takara Dianauts but have extra swivels at the torso and head. Main thing is that they are the cheapest 1/60 troop builder right now, even far cheaper than MFT KO Dianauts, the catch is you'll need to assemble them yourself and the parts are tiny. (The "assembled" in the listing title is probably mis-translated)

There are more discussion and pics from other members at the toyark RIHIO thread.

22.60+6 CAD sounds a little expensive, it's like 14 CAD on taobao and the shipping works out to a few dollars if you consolidate it with other things.

 

The RIHIO thread is that-a-way man:
RIHIO MULTIABYSS

(Just FYI - these little dudes have been discussed recently, check out the last few pages for thoughts/impressions, etc.  )

 

I own 3 boxes and they are indeed worth every penny.

 

Thanks all!

I've never used Taoboa... I'll have to check.

Didn't even know there was a thread for these guys already.... thanks

Now I'm looking forward to getting them... maybe not so much the putting them together thing though...  

 

I’m thinking it’ll clip on, similar to the 3rd party weapons for dianuats being made/sold on tfsafari. But we’ll see.

 

I got those, and they are nice BUUUUUUUUUT.. they really don't hold well at all, I had to use some silicon gel tape as a "sticky" so that they'd stay....(itsy bitsy piece wedged in there to get them to hold on the hands)

The "cannons" type slip over and hold better, but still fall off easily.

They could have figured another approach to make them hold better, considering the size.



So very glad to have them as any weapon is better than none, and the overall quality is great (lacking in details though) as they are molded and not printed, but still, they could be a bit better for the price.

 

Are there still Diaclone Reboot KO being made?

 

No. Endgame.

 

Depends what you mean by "recently" there are some... and those MFT Lunar themed items though not direct copies sharedesign elements wth the line still. Direct-one-to-one copies seem a bit thin on the ground but we did get that purple suit with Dark Rodimus a few months ago

The design....in this scale ...is inspirational.

It's really hard for me to justify larger scale action figures when a 1 inch figure gives you all of the basic play value of a figure 4 to 6x larger.
