Beetle Armor Sets

[OHWceta]

Does anyone have both the Espadia and Lacramento figures?

I am in desperate need of photos of the combiner bot their armors can build, I've only been able to find small low quality images on the net.

I want to know if they're worth buying.

me and my girlfriend each have one, i can tear them apart and put them together sometime this weekend and take some pictures if you like. anything in specific you want to see?

a front, back, left, right, and a closeup of the upper Torso and head and then any cool poses you want to do is fine with me.

And then maybe one with the armor standing with the two girls standing next to it for size comparison or sitting on the shoulders (assuming the girl bodies aren't used for the combiner)

Nah, the girls themselves aren't used for Heracles. I rarely use Heracles myself; Lancamento and Espadia are amazing by themselves. While waiting for pyroko to deliver the goods, check out these links:

These are galleries of Heracles posted by Japanese reviewers. Ultimately, this is how I decided he was worth it. Also, check out http://www.fanmode.net/2007/10/09/busou-shinki-sets/ for an extensive list of photo reviews along those same lines. This site will easily sell you on most of the line. And, just in case you aren't convinced yet, I add my personal recommendation for the Beetles. They're heavily armed and armored; the individual armors have beetle familiar modes; and Heracles is a sweet added bonus. The girls themselves are a couple of the better designs, and their alternate faces are priceless. Espadia is annoyed with the world and Lancamento is happy to be causing explosions. If you like what you have so far, these two will blow you away. Quick! Buy them before they become hard to find!

okay here you go.
assembly was easier than i thought it was going to be.

front shot.


side shot, with the arm removed to show the side of the body. the entire thing is symmetrical, so the opposite side is the same.


back shot.


close up of the chest.


and head.


as shown here, he is overall about a head taller than the MMS figures.


and is good at giving Lancemento a higher firing position.






the only real con to it are that it can't really hold the sword up with one arm at all. also worth noting that the wide hips, kind of weak ankles, and lack of a swiveling waist make some posing a little difficult.

overall, a nice extra feature for a pair of excellent shinkis.

EDIT: ending up leaving it together for now if there is anything else specific you would like to see on it.

Not as detailed on the robot, but here's my review thread. The last review just happens to be on the Beetle Girls
