Maketoys’ next entry into their RE:Master series, Gundog, has started to go up for preorder on online stores across the net!

IT'S STARING INTO MY SOUL!!!!
on a more serious note, i do wish there was a way to get hands on the extra faces. I tried to buy one off a board member here longtime back, but sadly he shipped it in a plain envelope & the postal service had their way with it.
and I'd be totally down for the Fragment repaint as well.

Sadly we never got the Detritus redeco, Fragment, maybe it can still happen now that they're starting to release some stuff again…

If that face is supposed to be better than the original I’m not seeing it.

Was able to find someone who was selling just the alternate faces. Stock they need a little bit of love. Gave the eyes a darker blue and added a bit of a wash in the mouths to give it more definition. Neutral face looks a lot better. Smiling face is still a bit goofy but less scary. After this i think this will be my main hound for my shelf and ill sell my mp KO, as i find the transformation much better than the official and the alt mode fits in better with my other more choices (a mix of g1 toy, a bit of the show and realistic alt modes)

Like mine enough that I haven't even pulled my ko hound out of his box. kinda wish I had been able to source toy color when I was buying tho

Gundog 2Y remains one of my favorite— in the top 3, probably— toys of my entire MP-scale collection. I don’t display my figures and only keep a few on-hand to mess with, and that toy has been one of them since I bought it.

Same, except I never got the TT version.
I never owned a G1 Hound and the character didn't particularly interest me in the cartoon (and barely featured in the comic). So the only exposure I had to Hound was seeing him in the catalogues. Thus if I got a MP Hound, he had to be as toy accurate as possible with the colours, the chrome and the big stomping feet. Toy Gundog is all that.

I ended up getting the tuna version and sold it, although it was a great toy, but if I had gotten the toy version I probably would’ve held onto it

I'm still very happy with this purchase, all these years later. I went with the toy deco, knowing that even if TakTom did their own Hound, they probably wouldn't do a toy deco. And lo and behold, they didn't. It sure doesn't hurt that Maketoys did a bang-up job on the toy version, making an absolutely beautiful figure that looks stunning in both modes. I get to display both Maketoys and TakTom, and don't feel they cancel each other out. Each has something unique to offer my MP display.

Heck since we're throwing out sales and the like if anyone's looking to get rid of a 2Y at a price that doesn't make me think you're out of your mind shoot me a PM. It'd be cool to have both on display again.

This is an awesome figure. I already had the fans toys version but when I got a chance to see gundog up close I loved its Toyetic charm. Even if I do end up getting the official version, or a knock off of the official version which is more likely due to the poor quality of the actual official version, I will keep gun dog

How much are you asking?

I have a Toon V1 (never transformed) if anyone is looking for one.

Was just messing with mine last night. Still very satisfied. I thought about the FT version but more because the grass seems greener on the other side. I had the G1 version too as a kid and Gundog fits the bill to me like the pics above.

I've also stuck with Gundog having previously bought the Takara. The official no doubt looks the part in both modes, but it's important to me that a bot is also fun to handle, and sadly the Takara fell well short in that department. Which is strange as it's often an area Takara does so well in. But with Hound, I was too terrified of cracks to properly enjoy him, despite only having one crack on my copy. In contrast, I reckon you could throw Gundog into the sun and he'd survive pretty much unscathed. It was a tough decision (I got the Takara on release and it took me until last week to decide!), but I just enjoy Gundog so much.
