Anybody hear anything about Miracle Productions next project, or if there is a next project? Last I heard the space ship, Ramrod(Bismarck in the Japanese series), from SaberRider was being considered. Look at the picture posted on March 2, 2014. I know, it is well over a year and we do not know if it was released or not. Maybe they went out of business... |

Saw the pic. I don't know what it is. It looks like some sort of super deformed Japanese robot.

It is Ryujinmaru from the series Mashin Hero Wataru.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Dule Robeast? Is there some other robot out there that makes for a good substitute and is in scale with MP's VV?

Finding one of the large size vintage "Inhumanoids" monsters would be just about right.

Right now I have the Megabloks Sha of Anger from World of Warcraft standing in as a generic "Robeast" type monster. It is far from an ideal solution. Here's hoping somebody puts out a nice Robeast or good creepy monster soon.

One of them gnarly lookin Street Sharks just miiiiight cut the cake;
too bad they're not as tall enough to match the height scale of the MT-01.
Anyway, it doesn't look like the Dairugger XV series had any distinguishable
enemy robot monsters... many of them seem to resemble weird mechs and tanks.

Yeah, for Dairugger you might be able to kitbash an acceptable plastic opponent by cobbling together a few more exotic BanDai kits and being creative with paint. You won't get anything screen specific, but you can probably achieve that Drule heavy tech look.
The planet Doom, mystic/bio Robeasts for GoLion are a bit more challenging. When in doubt make it a diorama to the 70's. Take an original toxic red paint or deadly spring missiles type banned Voltron and face him off against an equally banned Kenner Alien. Declare it an art piece offering commentary on modern overprotective parenting vs "corporations" or some such. Apply for a government art Grant and live happily in little metal men. The sad thing is I am not sure if I am being sarcastic, or if this would actually work. (Art project 2, a diorama of DX Mazinger Z facing off against a giant origami swan made out of government art grant money, exploring the complex issues of government fraud and waste. I bet that one would be easy to get funded.)

Sorry just wandering off on a weird tangent stream of consciousness trying to picture what might work size wise as an organic looking monster. It struck me that that old Kenner Alien toy that was banned for being too scary back in the day is the perfect height, my brain took a left turn somewhere around there.

I actually understood that, hahahahaha!
For the Roboeasts, remember that they don't have to be the 12 inch size, as they came in all sized compared to Voltron. Some were the same height, some were many sizes bigger.
There is no standard you have to adhere to. Any 11 to 20 inch monster with some armor overlaying an organic beastie will work.
The Warhammer kit idea mentioned, seems a good one too. There's some "Titan" kits that are awesome as roboeasts, like the Reaver Titan.

Great suggestions guys. I don't have time to put together a Reaver Titan kit. Plus, they are so expensive! The Drule Robeasts definitely had a tech-heavy look. Their robots were less human looking, often with a less defined head or complete lack of a head. After searching around, I found this toy from pacific rim: www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=NEC12510&mode=retailI don't have $99 to burn right now, but this seems like it would be a good scale fit, as some of the Drule robots were considerably larger than Vehicle Voltron. I got me a Marvel Universe Greatest battle Frost Giant 12" to pair off against my Toynami Lion Voltron. It works really well. |

Sorry to revive a thread but im pissed. WEP or Classic Media Inc whatever they are called shut down my ebay listing claiming my Miracle Productions Vehicle Voltron was "counterfeit". As of writing it seems they brought down all of the listings on eBay. I sent the lady at "IPAssure Brand Protection Services, LLC" an email and all she could say was fake/counterfeit gets pulled down. WTF they have nothing better to do than police ebay listings? I used to think Harmony Gold was the scum of the earth but this is a new low.

I cant blame u man, thats totally outrageous on WEP's part.
Their partner Toynami hasnt even made a Dairugger figure.. except for that crappy vinyl statue.
The company is only obsessed with Golion and overflooding the market with it.

actually after MT KOB they took a huge uppercut, suddenly no one want any Toynami or Mattle Voltron and everyone want the KOB since that time they are trying hard to stop any unofficial or unlicensed figure honestly i see it as stupidity because they didnt give us as fans or as customers what we want sure the Toynami Voltron was great TEN YEARS ago but now the milking need to stop i hope another 3rd party company do another Voltron  as for your figure im sure you will find a buyer don't worry  |

Both Wet and Toynotme are lazy and greedy....IMHO ofcourse. Those Aholes can't sue me on my personal opinion.
They can't go bankrupt soon enough....again, IMHO.
If you can't compete, just get out of business.
