"Show Accurate" Hi all, We keep getting this question about the toys being more accurate to the show, and I want to make sure it gets cleared up. Unfortunately with the first wave, the show changed some designs at the last minute and we had already cut all of the tools for our first waves of product. This is also the cause of some of the delays with getting new waves out; we didn't want to send out more stuff that wasn't accurate. Going forward, you should see much better alignment between how the toys look and how the characters look in the show.
I don't think this question has been asked here but TenkaiKnights, is there a reason the heads of the basic figures are glued in place? We can get a lot more interesting poses if we could just turn the heads. Also are the elemental Titan figures coming out soon? I saw box art of Dromus, Bravenwolf and Vilius.
Late to the party but finally picked up one of the old Titans at Target on clearance, with some customization they are pretty cool.
I'm finding the show quite entertaining, with well-designed action sequences and character techniques. It also follows a pretty good formula hitting all of the sentai tropes without becoming dull or overly repetitive. Toy-wise, the first designs strike me as pretty good, but I too am hoping the follow-up waves become more accurate to the show, particularly the Titan arms, hand designs and neck rotations.
Been messing around with some of the spare pieces I have. From what I've seen, Lego works pretty well with Ionix bricks. Kre-O also works but it seems the connection is a bit looser with these. Currently trying to come up with a build for a tank/jet thing using the blast tank and volt jet core bricks together. Still haven't found anymore Titan Valorns. Need two more to finish my custom Valorn build. Oh yea, looks like the show will start back up this Saturday.
This didn't turn out quite how I expected but it's still ok I think. The combined ship mode is a bit cluttered looking but it's pretty sturdy. The ship separates into a tank and a jet. The tank's okay but I really like how the jet came out. Anybody else do some interesting custom builds lately?
I saw 2 DVD's on Ebay.de. The German Ebay. These were released by AV Visionen Gmbh, a German company. Does this mean the toys are finally showing up in Europe, or are you guys testing the market with the 2 dvd's released so far?? I'd love to buy a set just to see what it is. Ebay.com has some nice sets cheap, but shelling out another $30 just to get it here completely kills it. Tenkai Knights - Vol. 2 - Mitsuru Hongo - 7630017502940 | eBay
Saw these guys on ebay. Phoenix mode of all 4 tenkai knights. I guess these are starting to show up in stores soon.
These look great! We especially like the tank, the split barrel "rail gun" look is always fascinating. Great work!
Should be very soon, as I just saw these guys at Meijer. Ended up picking up Dromus. They don't seem to be in the system yet, though. Glad the new helmet has some wiggle room in it, though, because once again the head is glued in place (REALLY bugs me that they do this).
Thanks for heads up SAF7. They must have just put them out when I found them. They were only 2.99 each too. Ended up payin about 25 for the whole case. They didn't have any of the new Titans though. I'll check again this weekend.
My Valorn isn't quite done but all I need to do is build a shield for him. Don't know when I'll see another Titan Valorn so I'd figured I show what I've done so far. I really like the flip out cannons.
Just spotted the Tenkai Dragon set at Meijer today. Didn't pick it up, but I didn't know the set was for both the good and evil versions (alternate builds, of course).
That's one of the problems I have with the Tenkai Knights line. Most of the building sets are alternating good/evil two in ones with no real transformation.
Hi Chuck, We agree with you, this is something we have been working really hard on and will have some cool surprises this coming Spring.
Anyone have any of the new blind bags characters to trade? I have two extra and need two. I don't have my list in front of me at the moment but if you have/want, PM me. Thanks!
I will warn you though: It's weird when the toys have a visibly different aesthetic, like the chest plates on the first humanoid titans compared to the second ones.
Tenkai Dragon? Im from Canada, and have been checking every single day for my Target to get wave 2 of the line, the only thing being the Tenkai Dragon set, which I picked up. (I can upload pictures if wanted?) I was very happy to see that it came with the updated helmets for Bravenwolf and Vilius. Still waiting for Target to get the new single figure packs though, dying for that Granox and Slyger.
