You mean like what it's supposed to represent or what kits it's from? I see a mix of MM001, 04 and 06 parts.
Finally! Let's GOOOOO!!! Where ? When ? Who do I send money to!? Rihio just saved me at least $200 USD
【序章】通道与布龙球 THECHANNEL&BULOON - RIHIO [Prologue] Channel and Bronze Ball THECHANNEL&BULOON ~~~~~ Previously, in a vast and far-reaching old universe, only a handful of life groups had the honor to evolve to the stage of generating wisdom, and those who could create civilization were even rarer. Most of these ethnic groups will try their best to explore the true meaning of themselves and the universe with their instincts, and at the same time, they are also cautiously verifying a particularly important thing-whether they are the only one in this vast universe. It's just that they haven't been able to break through their limits and touch each other. At the same time, there are still countless beings in the primary stage in this universe. Since they have not yet formed sufficiently complex wisdom and thoughts, there is no need to consider so many issues at all. The vast sea of stars, although lonely everywhere, is also stable and harmonious. But this is only temporary. At a certain point, the universe has deteriorated. Once this large-scale metamorphism occurs, it spreads quickly and randomly affects many galaxies where life exists. Those intelligent beings quickly observed the abnormal celestial phenomena, but no one realized it yet. The peaceful time of the universe never returns. Metamorphism is presented in a way that intelligent life can understand. It is a giant bubble-like sphere that suddenly appears in the universe. We call it " BULOON ". After these spheres are formed, most of them will It has been in a stable state for a long time, but there are also a small number of active individuals. They will take the initiative to swallow everything around them, and in the process will violently tear them, which is very dangerous. Regardless of whether the Bronze ball is stable or not, it will naturally move in sync with the galaxy where it is located without being gradually lost, just like the members that originally existed in this local celestial system. However, there is no evidence that it moves under the influence of any factor in the galaxy, but it is more like a self-conscious actively learning and integrating into this system, with unclear motives and unpredictable. In addition to being able to emit real "light" and being seen by people, the Bronn Ball can also cause a certain range of impacts on the time and space where it is located, such as making the surrounding electromagnetic waves, gravity, etc. chaotic, but it is a kind of A phantom that can be "seeed" but not measurable, cannot be touched or sampled, and cannot be accurately measured such as diameter, mass, density, composition and other physical parameters. It can only be roughly estimated from its dynamic range of influence on the surrounding space and time It is a giant celestial body that can reach the level of a planet, but it is not made of what kind of material and in what way. Of course, in the observation and understanding of different civilizations, the "volume" of the Bronn Ball may vary greatly, but it is very consistent in that it cannot be analyzed and mastered. When any object approaches and tries to touch the cloth ball, it will pass through its vaguely defined "surface" directly and unobstructed, and come to a completely new world that is completely different from the outside. We use a subjective perspective to describe this traversal process: As I approached this huge sphere in space, my eyes gradually became blurred, but it was not like landing on a planet with a thick atmosphere, because it was not the external environment that became blurred, but the entire vision. In the brief fuzzy state, I feel that the direction and state of movement have not been affected by other external forces and have not been interrupted by consciousness. Everything is normal, just chaos in front of me, just like trying to see an object clearly in a dream, but there is nothing I can do. generally. Immediately afterwards, my eyes suddenly opened up. I hovered in a chaotic space full of faint red light, and looked around, only to find that the sphere was far behind me. In the instantaneous process of walking, I didn't seem to enter the inside of the bronball, but was directly transmitted to this mysterious space by its surface. It looked like a huge passage, with no bottom at both ends. I tried to turn back and approach the sphere again. After the same brief blur, I returned to the cosmic space where I was before, with my back facing the sphere. In fact, what is reached through the cloth ball is a labyrinth world interwoven by countless similar giant channels, just like various complicated veins in the organism, and the cloth ball is attached to the ring wall of the channel. From time to time, the wall of the ring will grow new Bronballs, which are associated with a certain space-time coordinate in the outer universe, and become a new intersection of the two realms. This peculiar channel world is more and more closely linked with the increasing Bronball of the outer universe, and the relationship becomes intricate. It is impossible to verify whether the "metamorphism" of the universe produced the cloth dragon ball and the passage world, or whether the passage world that originally existed in a different dimension invaded the universe and caused its "metamorphism". What can be known at present is that the operating principles in the channel world are very different from those in the outer universe. As various civilizations continue to study them in depth, more and more differences have been discovered. A lot of common sense in the outer universe is in the channel world. It doesn't work. The most deadly point is that electromagnetic waves cannot function normally in a wide area of the channel, and all related information technology is meaningless. After entering the channel from the outer universe, all kinds of communication and detection equipment can sense signals and transmit information nearby, but they will completely fail when they are farther away. This makes it difficult to understand. Here, things in the outer universe are not completely denied, but the scope is extremely limited. Therefore, unless someone discovers that there is a stable medium that can carry information in the channel world and uses it, it is possible to construct a brand new communication system exclusively for the entire channel world. In addition, what is incredible is that the channel world limits the electromagnetic waves in the concept of the outer universe, but it itself allows people entering here to "see" its existence in the most intuitive form of "visible light", such as the infinitely extending ring wall structure. For example, the Bronze ball, but the related equipment can't get any data. Let's make a bold assumption that the channel world may intrude directly into the consciousness of the visitor in a transcendent way. This is an absolute field that cannot be disputed. The visitor can only act in accordance with all the rules it has formulated, and there is no room for rebuttal. In addition, in addition to moving to both ends along the route of the channel in a certain area in the center of the cross section, no matter how hard the intruder tries to get close to the channel wall for analysis, or even launch various weapons to try to destroy it, they all return to no avail. The ring wall will release an endless field of force toward the center of the channel. Anything closer to it will be repelled more strongly, like a harsh barrier, which will never give visitors a chance to learn more about this place. The only exception is that you can approach and traverse the cloth ball growing on the wall of the passage. There are some invisible paths with weak repulsion between the central area of the channel and the cloth ball, for intruders from the outer universe to use the cloth ball to enter and exit. This channel world. All this is like being carefully designed. Even with many difficulties, those ambitious civilizations are still tirelessly exploring. Later, some civilizations gradually mastered the reliable navigation technology of the channel world. Among them, there are many civilizations that are not so advanced but courageous. They have not even overcome the communication problems in the channel, and forcibly walked into this place by touching the stones. A turbid river that opens up to the sky. A lucky civilization has found many paths in the channel world, and also found many bronballs that connect the time and space of various outer universes. However, these Bronballs are not connected with the outer universe and the channel world in an orderly manner as one would like. Every time someone tries to build a new cosmic star map model that includes the path of the channel, the result will end in failure, because they find that the outer cosmic coordinates of the Bronballs arranged in sequence along the channel are irregular. Follow. It seems that the channel cannot be simply defined as a cosmic highway network, because it cannot achieve the leaping travel of the outer universe according to the wishes of people, but can only follow the "chaotic" route it has set. This is just the ideal situation under the static perspective, and the universe is developing dynamically, what about the channel world? Maybe in some time, the existing relationship established by Bronn Ball will be changed or even dissolved? If someone does not return in time before the change, will they be lost in the deep space forever? However, the channel world is not just negatively depressing. Usually, two Bronze balls that are very close to each other are perceived on the ring wall, but the outer space positions they are connected to are far from each other, and some of them are even beyond the range of observations and records of certain civilizations of this universe, so even if you It is impossible to determine which position in the universe he is going to, and in a very short period of time, he has made a great leap in time and space that has never been possible before. Merely discovering and making use of the attribute of the passage of civilization is enough to raise its vision and footprint of the universe to a whole new level. Of course, luck is also an extremely important factor for success here. The cosmic coordinates connected by the Bronn ball are not always valuable, and some are even extremely dangerous. Those advanced civilizations that had good luck quickly got rich returns, and the powerful and ambitious races used channels to travel through the space and time of the universe at high speed, arbitrarily expanding their territory of influence. Even so, in the early days when the "metamorphism" of the universe was not too large, most of these civilizations had not yet discovered the existence of each other, and the few civilizations that were lucky or unfortunate enough to meet in the process of exploiting the passageway to open up the universe inevitably Under the pure laws of nature, there were fierce sparks, the weak and the strong, without exception. Taking advantage of the convenience brought about by the passage world, civilizations are constantly advancing the exploration of the universe, and the volume of the star field they master is also increasing. However, the subsequent development speed and direction of the channel world and the universe have greatly exceeded their expectations, and hindsight has become the norm for all participants. The channel has continuously differentiated more and more complex characteristics in its growth process, which will have an unprecedented impact on the fate of all the life groups involved and the entire universe. The development trajectory of various civilizations is gradually disrupted by some new characteristics of the passage. Those advanced civilizations who are advancing to open up the territory begin to realize that the situation is difficult to maintain the smooth sailing of the early days, and sometimes even local spaces encounter various strange disasters without warning. , The traits of the channel world are not always stable as before. They are aware of the seriousness of the situation, everyone is in danger, and this constantly deteriorating universe seems to be gradually moving towards chaos. Some people are beginning to miss the mediocre but peaceful universe at the beginning, but the first thing to consider now is how to survive in this situation? Those fledgling new civilizations, even if they do not possess the cognitive abilities of high-level civilizations, are ignorant and fearless rushing to the channel new world to chase their magnificent dreams. And in this infinite and far-reaching universe, there are still a large number of primitive life races. Before they even have time to perceive the existence of the channel, they may suffer the most terrible outer space invasion in history. The channel world is still growing and changing at a high speed, and the previous "this" universe may have been affected and is no longer the only existence. Layers of chaos gradually appear, natural or man-made hell-like horrors. Began to spread. No matter what stories will happen in the future, you and I shouldn't be surprised, just because the traditional order has been completely subverted.
I'm detecting definite WH40K "warp travel with the risk of chaos invasion" influence here and I fully support this twist on that lore. The translation needs to be refined for easier interpretation but I like it none the less. Diaclone scale and mini figure poseability + wh40k influence + generic mutant beast as bad guys = a solid foundation. Now when are the larger beast going to be available for purchase ?
Yeah, I get the WH40K vibes as well! Google Translate can only do so much, which is why i've included the original Chinese text, just in case someone wants to take a crack at a better translation. RIHIO's official Taobao listing: RIHIO无限深远系列异星猛兽-帝幔龙软胶模型可动玩具手办周边摆件-淘宝网 Has shipping as early October.
Thanks to member @snakey jones for the update! It's happening I've already bought one. The seller accepts Paypal currently so it was $20 cheaper buying directly as opposed to buying through Ebay. Assuming the quality is as expected i'll be buying another soon. 20.34US $ 1% OFF|RIHIO Infinite and Far reaching Series Alien Beast Emperor Manlong Soft Plastic Model Movable Toy Figure Best Gift|Transformer/Robot| - AliExpress
I think this same text is also featured on their website (google translated below): 帝幔龙 - RIHIO ~~~~~
As always Megatron comes through with the valuable information. Thank you. I think i need to skim through this thread again. The addition of the new large mutant beast has added more value to this line in my opinion. Enough to reconsider what else i might add from the mech selection of Rihio. Megatron have you heard anything about a future release of the small beasts with articulator added?
That was fast ! When did you order it? And what's that item next to it ("50 years under the surface ...")? We want more pictures
The scale / size difference as it relates to the mech is great. It looks like a formidable biological threat. Rihio really filled a niche with these. They should make more variants (smaller units preferably now that we have giants). I'm looking forward to mine.
