"Mospeada Ride Armor: 'Dark Bartley & Dark Mospeada'!"

I haven't done collection reviews in awhile. For some time now the collection has moved beyond Star Wars into some of the other stuff that I really like, like this one: CMS' Mospeada Ride Armor: 'Dark Bartley & Dark Mospeada'.

Mospeada is the Japanese anime adapted as the 3rd arc of Robotech, named The Next Generation, telling the story of Scott Bernard and his band of freedom fighters on their quest to liberate Earth from the Invid.

'Dark Bartley & Dark Mospeada' is actually the Shadow version of the famous Cyclone bikes used in the series. Too bad I started collecting these late, I would have preferred Scott Bernard's Cyclone, but hey, this itself is a great piece, retailing at RM245 after 5% discount.






Yeah, the Cyclone bike converts into the armour for the rider! The conversion is fairly complicated, but luckily the model is made of ABS/PVC with Die-cast metal parts so they don't break easily. Which also explains the hefty price for such a small item! This guy is about the same size as a Star Wars basic figure...
