Doom Cycle package opens to a diorama! my rewiew & pics

[SniperX]

NOTE: Click on the images below; They are large with great quality to see up close details.

I know this has been posted already.. By several people, but I have some great images to get a up close look at the details on this new Dreadknock edition, as well as give my 2 cents on how it turned out.

After receiving my Doom Cycle, I noticed on the box does something unique not seen in many previous packages. I realized that the box opens to a DIORAMA display. I know it has been done before, but this was the first time I think it's been mentioned for this particular item. Which I thought was pretty cool. Also with all the images floating around of this new vehicle and figure, I never saw the figure Storm Rider without his bandanna on, when I took it off, I realized they did a pretty good job on his face. I wasn't really feeling the revolver gun he comes with, tho I like that it fits into an open holster. overall I think this new addition to the dreadknok family is a pretty cool one.

I would have made the cycle a little different, like the foot pegs not so far in like a street bike. I would have made them farther out like a chopper style. And the wheel base to wide. Kinda like those 3 wheel bikes rich ppl ride around in.. hah.

But overall it's pretty cool motorcycle. I do like the twin guns on the handle bars. with a push button to release a wheel blade. And the rear has another button to open up some back blades. If this thing was real, it'd be a dangerous piece of machinery.


Here are some nice big size images so you can see the details, be sure to click to enlarge them:

I can't wait to get this.

[SNAKE EYES]

Where did you pick up the Doom Cycle?

[SniperX]

On Ebay for only like $17.00 + like $10.00 shipping. Not bad so I grabbed it.

No that's a pretty fair price.

Right. I'm still gonna buy a few more when they hit stores. One for custom parts, and one to leave sealed up..

All I can think of when I look at that dio is that this is what Philly would look like if the Eagles ever won the Superbowl. >_>

[JohnnyAngel77]

Nice pics, thank you. I want this one pretty bad. Actually, the only thing I'm not really drooling over so far are the mech suits. Everything else is just bad@$$.

[bluesparrow]

[Monkeywrench]

I'm always on the lookout for those too... the one you got for Zartan is a lot cooler than I'd have expected.

There's a hover bike coming with a Clone Wars Cad Bane in a figure + vehicle deluxe set Hasbro has out soon(might even be out now):

Also a new Transformer bike, Brimstone, though I don't like the colors:

LMAO Floor buffer!

[Breakerfan]

I keep wondering what the blades sticking out from the front tire do? Do you ride at full speed into something and stab it? On a motorcycle? Seems kind of counter productive to me.

The shotguns on the other hand I dig.

[pud333]

Nice review. Still only want Storm Rider. The bike, to me, doesn't fit in with anything else POC related.

[Darren]

I really like Storm Rider. He's got a nice sculpt and he looks like good custom fodder. I could pass on the bike though.

[CobbicusPrime]

In your review you listed that this was the first set to have the box fold out to a diorama. I dno't know if you were referring to PoC sets there or if you missed some of the WM exclusives. But, I bought a LAW and a Surveillance Port and they both had dioramas. I figure'd you'd like to know that there are other dioramas. I thought they were cool when I got them and was hoping for more. Thanks for posting this up. I'll be getting this. BTW- what is the red thing on the hose on the back of the bike? Is it like a cutter or something?

in the instructions it says its for weapon storage, but really it just looks like a mini generator with a handle and spikes on the other side as a weapon itself.

I'm digging that transformer bike. and the colors suit the dreadknocks actually alot of there old vehicles where made with similar colors..

[CobbicusPrime]

Oh ok. i saw the blade and thought it might be a cutter weapon or something like a chainsaw. I wish they'd do more sub groups. You know they're doing the enviornments and that's all good sorta innovative and stuff. At the very least it's a step beynd everyone being battle Corps and stuff. But, why not have a Dreaknoks sub line and possibly bring back Sky patrol and stuff. Why not add a marine enviornment. I'd love to see a Moray re-release in PoC.

[D00MTR0N]

good stuff

I have a bad ass moray display.. I have the red one with a bunch of 25th cobra ells thru out the boat.. along with lampray. then i have the camo gi joe one with the 25th ann beachhead and flint or whoever originally came with the ship.. just instead the 25th version figures, then i have a bunch of wet suits on that boat, and there on display next to each other like there having a battle.. looks sweet i need to take some images of it.

[Blackhive]

The 4 RoC Wal-Mart Exclusive sets had fold-out diorama packaging as well.
Also on the bikes the TF: ROTF Arcee and Chromia fit Joes perfect:

[Tracker]

that's a lot cooler than i thought it would be

[rocker82]

Will definitely get the Doom Cycle with Storm Rider,and adding it to my Dreadnok collection.

[C-GDSM 2487]

looking forward in getting the doom cycle
lot better than i thought it would be

i am liking the transformer bike i agree it would go well with the dreadnoks

[Mr.Kane]

Don't know about this Doom Cycle. Maybe when it comes to retail.

[Goudos]

Is it me or does Storm Rider look like Sascha Konietzko from KMFDM?

[xFlintx]

Love this Bike and the new addition to the Noks as well. Extra bonus that the box is a diorama

[Shogi]

Ya know, I never noticed till now that Storm Rider uses the 5 pack Shipwreck body and a new head. For some odd reason I thought it was an all new sculpt

[wishfulthinking]

Never thought to use Oil Slick as a Dreadnok cycle...but he works really, really well.

[safocommander]

LIKING THAT REVOLVER :D Mohawk, "Soap" anyone?

[CobraElite]

This really looks good. Can't wait to pick one up.
