Update - Kabaya Might Gaine and Kabaya Silverion

Assembled the 2 Kabaya Brave series (Wave 2) kits... and it took a LOOOOOOONG time... First up, Silverion...


Silverion members in robot and vehicle mode...Stickers are not applied initially to see how the robot(s) look... Looks good...Though some stickers should do the individual members cosmetic up-leveling...



Ready to combine..."Phase 1!"... wait, sorry, wrong command...


Silverion (un-stickered)... Actually this kind of fits in better with the name's theme: silver... The grey plastic looks more greyish-silver in real than in picture... Maybe Micheal Bay's version of Yuusha's robots (if he decides to shoot one) will look like this... hahahaha....


After putting on the stickers... in the end has to also use super glue to join up some parts securely and tighten some loose joints...





Next is Might Gaine... This little bugger took me the most time... Because of the stupid neck-peg that broke.... damn... Pics of the 3 trains...


Amazingly, the small white train can transform into a robot with no parts-forming! Kudos to Kabaya for this design... The green-grey train does need to pul out the wings and reattach for transformation though, but this is minor... I might have gotten the train-jet configuration wrong but I like it better this way...


... combined to form Might Gaine!!!!! Quite nice little fellow... just that the head-neck...sigh, let's just forget that...

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of Transformers and Such (160) - Evolution 2-Pack Grimlock (Toys R Us Exclusive)

Bought this set at Toys R Us...Impulsive buy... I thought the "classical" Grimlock is a new mold... but later then found out it is the Energon mold... Anyway, grown to like it already... Hahaha... The AOE version is quite fun and simple to transform for a Voyager class figure... Can't remember the actual price; think is $79.95 or something... anyway, got $40 voucher...



Also bought some other stuff for my little niece...

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of Transforming Robots (159) - Kabaya Brave (Yuusha) Wave 2: Might Gaine and Silverion

Purchased these cute little kits at CSC the past Sunday... At $15 for both, I think they are quite worth it... Have not assembled though... but judging by my busy schedule these weeks, I am not sure when I can start building... Only bought the Might Gaine and Silverion, as they are sold as a set... not sure why I did not hunt down the other one... Anyway...

Nice boxart...


The back of the boxes... Hey, the small train transforms into a robot!!! Hahaha... I seriously don't know much about Brave (Yuusha) series...


One side of the box showing the robots in this wave...


... while the other has the story/background information about the particular robot... can't read Japanese...


Here's the kits, unassembled... Will try to do that and post... if I can...
