Just wanted to say, the drone for the figure isn't great, but it makes for a cool spoiler in vehicle mode

Here comes pink coloured Floyd!

 

That looks great and the name is a big step back in the right direction! I'm iffy on the pond but the box will be a buy for sure. Can it stand on one leg without the pond as a stand?

 

For sure. I’ve tried it (no bonus available at that point) and it’s pretty easy to balance.

The wings are on removal 5mm pegs just like Havok too.

 

How can you get these? Tiger Dio is showing up zip on eBay.

 

So, BB-53 is Flamingo. BB-54 is Rabbit duo.
In my guess BB-55 would be Delta 2.0. maybe.
Just because the existing delta was BB-05 LOL

And we still don't know what is BB-52 

 

Some have started receiving theirs in China. Here’s my friend’s quick pics. Shoulder cannons are spring loaded. Clip is in the FB 52TOYS group.

 

Excuse my language but he is so BLEEPING cute.

 

Very nice. So not just another brick in the wall?

I hope Floyd is its real name, that's gold!

 

another update, ALMOST there. it now sits great on it and holds securely. there's still a bit of an inner gap between the cover and original eyes. i'm hoping one more round of tweaks to get it seated down lower so that it wraps over the original eyes properly and it'll be done.  

 

So Floyd is a homage to the rock band: “Pink Floyd”??

Since there was homages to the band “Beatles” plus “Great White” will there be more (like Reo Speedwagon, Chicago [I think Boston is one of them as well], Nirvana, Aerosmith, etc..)?  

I actually want to see a possible Crane, Stork, Puffin, Albatross, Pelican from the Bird family if it’s possible.

 

I think this would be a pretty easy remold for an Ostrich.

 

I'd rather wait for the crane. It'll make a nice companion piece to the mythical ones, as cranes are often use in Chinese fantasy novels.

Speaking of mythical, I remember seeing someone combine romearmo twice to create a two headed dog. Is it possible to do 3? If so I'd like to know so I can make a cerberus after buying 3

 

There seems to already be a few and I'm going to miss/forget some. IIRC, I believe Striker Wang confirmed some of the references or at least that there were some.

Dio - probably just a coincidence, but Ronnie James Dio
Painkiller - Judas Priest
Smoke (on the water) - Deep Purple
Overkill - Motorhead
Pantera - well, Pantera
Rustypiece (Rust in Peace) - Megadeath

Here's a huge leap on my part; Blazing Spear and Toxichorn reference Brittany Spears and Toxic. There is a few others that could probably be stretched to fit.

Some just sounds musical: Echoblaster, Sonic Ripple, Rumblebeat, , Whitenoise, Thrashard. Vaporwave is a sub-genre of music.

There's likely more that are over my head and this has come up a few times in the thread before.

 

Why reach for that when there's literally a band called Dio. Maybe you've heard Holy Diver?

Edit: maybe Ronnie James Dio IS Dio... that would make sense.

 

 

Dreamers Never Die

 

Well if the next Beastbox is called ‘Manilow’ we can be sure someone at 52Toys has excellent musical taste.
