Logan McOwen Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I don't want to upset the uploader of the videos by screencapping without permission.. .. but you can see the Giraffe combo at 2:09(ish) in the XT4 video, and the Mynotor combo at 1:50-1:53(albeit not very well) in the Core Hunter review I hope this helps :) EDIT: Just got the July/August Lego Magazine, and inside is a Lego Club Code (the name of one of the Heroes) that can be used to access an exclusive online comic, but when I went on the site and entered the code, it wouldn't work D: Tragic, I know. That's not a Minotaur... That's a Centaur. Quote
MakutaDreadscythe Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) That's not a Minotaur... That's a Centaur. *snip* What forum am I on again? I could have sworn I clicked on Hero Factory 2012... EDIT: Thinking about it, are they going to update the Breakout Game with the new characters? I've actually got a liking for it just because it's so bad.

@l3x Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 If you are referring to me, no, the weather isn´t bad anymore, but I haven´t got around to taking pictures yet, sorry. I was trying to build a photo box of sorts so I could get good lighting independent of the weather outside. Don´t worry, I´ll try to take photos tomorrow. -Gata Ok cool I guess I'm just more used to the Transformers fandom where people competitively try to be the first to photograph/review new releases. People seem oddly casual about the fact that these are out there and ready to be reviewed. Quote

I don't know why anyone's being casual, it's driving me insane that there aren't any here in the US yet. Quote
Cirkit Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) That's not a Minotaur... That's a Centaur. (Facepalm) I guess I can't keep my mythical creatures in order! Centaur's are the human-horses, so Mynotors are the 2 legged bulls, right? Okay.. again, my bad. I'm not really a fan of the other combiners. Stormer/Speeda looks alright color-wise, but there's too much going on there, and the spidery thing that Stringer and Voltix make up looks a bit.. generic. I've seen too many spider-like combos before, I'm glad of creations that show creativity by the designers part, like the Giraffe. Lazer buzzsaw killer Giraffe.. Edited July 1, 2012 by Cirkit Quote
DraikNova Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I actually have a concept for an entire HF Mythological Creatures wave. With a dragon. With flexible wings attached via balljoints. Quote
Omicron Squad Leader Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (Facepalm) I guess I can't keep my mythical creatures in order! Centaur's are the human-horses, so Mynotors are the 2 legged bulls, right? Correct. P.S. It's spelt 'Minotaur', when I said 'MY-NO-TOR', I was just spelling out the pronunciation. Quote
DraikNova Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I actually think the Nex-XT4 combo looks pretty good. Quote
Gatanui Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Trust me if I had them I'd be rushing to get photos for you guys. I don't know why anyone's being casual, it's driving me insane that there aren't any here in the US yet. I´m not casual, I wish I had the photos already and I really rushed to get the reviews done soon. It´s simply that bad weather, inconsistent light outside (you know, clouds one minute and sunshine the other) and other duties have kept me away. I promise you´ll get the pictures very soon. -Gata Edited July 1, 2012 by Gatanui Quote

But I don't wait on weather, I have a studio so that's a little different. Quote

But I don't wait on weather, I have a studio so that's a little different. Yeah, just to avoid the weather issues I´ve been building some sort of studio myself (which I referred to as "photo box" in an earlier post). I´m going to buy some powerful lamps for it tomorrow. Maybe I can manage taking photos as great as yours then. -Gata Edited July 1, 2012 by Gatanui Quote

I know you said you started one already but I might as well post this here for anyone else too. DIY lightbox It's what I used until my parents got me a professional one for Christmas a few years back. And you don't need powerful lamps, just a simple overhead light and a side light with close to equal wattages will do fine. It's really a matter of how you set your camera. Quote
Aethersprite Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Does anyone have the bags for Toxic Reapa with both the old and the new updated feet? I'm wondering if it's possible to tell if a set has the updated feet from the packaging, perhaps the barcode like the old CMFs. Quote

A Centaur is Half Man, Half Horse, and a Minotaur is Half Man, Half Bull. Thank you both for the corrections, means a lot. Apologies if any of this frustrated anyone,I'm pretty sure I've got my mythical beasts in order now. :) Seriously though- what are you opinions of the combos seen in the videos, however briefly they were glimpsed? Centaur's my fav. Edited July 2, 2012 by Cirkit Quote

Thanks a lot for that link! My approach was similar, but not entirely like that. I´ve just bought transparent paper, so let´s see if it works... I´ll be sure to take good photos or scans of the Bulk/Core Hunter and Stringer/Voltix combiners. -Gata Edited July 3, 2012 by Gatanui Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Stringer is gorgeous! I plan to add some back armor to him once I get him. The lack-of and his transparent torso just seem like it would make him look hollow. Reviews tomorrow? Of course. The day I go on vacation, you decide to put up reviews. Hopefully the hotel will have internet access. Either way, I look forward to seeing them when I can! Kalhiki Quote
@l3x Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Full reviews tomorrow. -Gata Beautiful! EDIT: I see on Flickr that you only have 4 reviews planned for now. Any plans to review the rest, or did you buy all the sets you wanted? Just curious. Edited July 4, 2012 by @l3x Quote
dviddy Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 He'd better not hog all the rest of the reviews. I'm hoping to get some of the ones TLG is sending us soon to review for BZP too. Quote
Studs Not On Top Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Though he's known for his black armor, I really like that blue on Stringer! And the gunmetal is hardly noticeable in that photo. I just wish he had larger armor shells-- he might look small next to other Breakout heroes. Quote
vexorian Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Not sure if absurdly good photography. Or unpublished CGI pic. Edited July 4, 2012 by vexorian Quote
DraikNova Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Okay, I'm going to sacrifice Core Hunter's core remover to use the shield for Stringer, and the armor(shells) for a purple and black MOC. Quote
