    only have Roarmeo yet, but I think it's perfect even if it's just one product.
    There are many movable parts, and it is balanced enough to stand upright with one foot.

    The combined mode is just like a side dish.

    I think I'll probably buy all four dogs, but I'll combine them once or twice and leave them as individual products.

    The monkey team didn't have much difference in the same mold, but the dogs are highly complete because each dog's characteristics are properly expressed.

    Thanks, was planning to buy them too since I love dogs, but I don't want a compromised dog mode since I don't care about the combined mode :D

    You can definitely ignore the combiner feature and get Roarmeo on its own. In my opinion it’s one of the better quadruped beasts and doesn’t feel compromised by the gimmick at all. If anything the extra swivels and joints just allow more flexibility for fan modes.

    wait, what??? there's a combiner mode for the dogs??? o_O  :p 

    it's more like two to three dollar signs back when it was released, compared to the four dollar signs it is now! :lol

    Absolutely not. In fact, I think it's not only one of the best Beastboxes yet, its combiner components are pretty well hidden until they're needed. This canine set is well above and beyond the monkeys and 100% works as standalone figures, IMO.

    If it's of interest, I did a review of Roarmeo and went into quite a bit of detail on its articulation and design.

    None. Amazon is too unpredictable. As you can see, they have meltdown exclusive, bit not the other one. Zephyr is listed, but anything before since the dogs isn't. Momo final edition just showed up one day. All you can do is just check once in a while

    All the 52Toys AliExpress store and JoyToyWorld orders shipped out before CNY and so far all have arrived except the bunny Dio and that's arriving in a day or two. w00t.

    Pretty happy with my Floyd from JoyToyWorld. Even if the shipping out of China didn't give any hint of the tracking number for in the US. Pretty well packed, and the end result is great. It CAN stand on one foot without the stand base, but it definitely helps.

    Had a little fun this afternoon posing some Dianauts with my AMTS vehicles. My phone's camera has a surprisingly good black and white mode; definitely helped to have some sunshine. :cool:

    That's cool, but I kinda feel having the cannon on the artwork misleading

    Cool figure otherwise. Curious if this will recieve evangelion colors like megadio, or even a retool, which I wonder how that would turn out

    Looking forward to this

    Out of curiosity, do the preorder bonuses like this that turn into part of a box go together, or can they only combine with the same one. Like, could you get the meerkat tank and combine it with this and the stand to get a box , or would you need three of a kind? Just curious

    Not my pic but you get the idea. They don’t peg together (only the flight stands do) so it’s loose in the Boxcharger.

    Cool I guess. Would've been great if they pegged together, but its understandable. At least they fit well I suppose

    That looks great! I will definitely need that cannon! It falls into the "useful for many figures" bucket that the branch and flight stand are in.

    I feel the same. I'm trying to remember if any of the other beast boxes had bonuses in their art. Maybe Rustypiece?

    Awwwww yeah. I want that cannon. Also:

    I get why some people are backing away, but to me this is why the Beastbox price hike is justified in one pic (plus a dash of inflation).

    Since the first grey proto reveal, all I can see is a rhino retool... is it just me?
