Unique Toys UT-D01 Salmoore (aka Cykill) Revealed

under 3rd Party Unlicensed

Our friends and sponsors at both Robot Kingdom and Big Bad Toy Store have put up preorders which have revealed Unique Toys’s upcoming UT-D01 Salmoore. This upcoming release is very clearly a re-imagined modern take on the Gobot Renegade Cykill. This product is currently slated for a May 2014 release, and will be around the same size as the Masterpiece Datsun (Prowl/Smokescreen/Streak) mold and include chrome on the tailpipe and wheels.

If anyone is in the YVR area and wants a DX9 Salmoore, there's one copy at A3U in the trade in section of the store complete and opened. I traded it in over a year ago and used the credit that I had from previous trades and use it to get DNA Designs Susanoo.

Got Salmoore in the mail today. His hims are very loose making his torso fall forward and backward quite easily. The side motion of his hips is nice and tight. Do other people experience loose hips on him?

Yea mine was all sorts of floppy all over the place. Had to pull him apart and nail polish the crap out of pretty much every joint.

Yeah man that's just an issue with all the early dx-9/UT. He's easy to pop apart future the hell out of his mushroom pegs and recepticals.

Do you know they have another Cy-Kill planned?

If you mean Machine Robo, then yes, I do. Supposedly it will be in a larger scale. But it won't be at a $35 price point like Salmoore. Plus I don't know if they will paint the legs the right shade of blue this time or go with that hideous topaz color like they did on the original release. I may get it, depending on how the final product turns out. I'd still keep Salmoore.

I know I am dreadfully late to this 3rd Party, well, party but I finally ended up preordain this one on BBTS. For $35, it's beyond a great deal. And despite the only issues most have with this figure (shoulders don't peg in to the body), I have heard nothing but good things about Salmoore. Another reason I've decided to get one is because I am not completely satisfied with the Machine Robo version of Cy-Kill. The blue color on his legs are completely wrong, the face sculpt is ridiculous looking, and it's just way too small. For the SAME amount of money I paid for that thing, I can get Salmoore that's much larger and looks a whole lot better in every way.

Man, if there were a matching Leader-1 I'd be all over this at $35…

I've been toying with the idea of getting this guy…. I already made a good custom Cykill so not sure if I NEED this.

I paid $70 i think. I absolutely love him. It's almost criminal if you don't get him at $35

Okay! That pictures has sold it for me. I'm getting Salmoore tonight! Who makes that spider bot?

That's Perfect Effect Aranea, a badass bike former. In robot mode she can have an independent spider. Then you can have a "clean" bike or one with the spider bits added. There's also a fan mode that's a huge spider including the bike.

Agreed, I got him for $50 not too long ago. Well worth it.

Pros:

It's Cy-Kill.
Voyager-sized.
Excellent bike mode.
Stylized, but in a way that works.
Cheaper than the much smaller Bike Robo figure that came out last year.

Cons:

The shoulders don't lock, they just rely on friction to stay in place. Of course, you could see that as a pro, since it gives him a backward butterfly joint.
No wrist swivels.
Getting his arms out of bike bike mode requires you to fold them out and turn the shoulder in a particular way to get the clearance you need. Once you know what you're doing it's fine, but it's tricky the first few times.

Like I said earlier, I bought Salmoore for $80 and I have zero regrets. I think he'd be a bargain at $50. At $35 he's a no-brainer; only reason not to buy him is because you only have $34.

Agreed. My only additional personal gripe is I wish he had the clamp hands.
