505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It may not be line art accurate, yet I sure wish ET would look at this old 80's Gakken and get a clue on how to do the rear landing gear. Both the CMs & Toynami were horrible, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The guys over at the Bubbegum Crisis thread are discussing a Figma poster announcing a new Motoslave. What caught my attention tho' si the small poster nxt to it: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/549580 apparently Figma is toying with the idea of doing their own Ridearmors. Why is that every once in a while, every toy company is into Mospeada at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what happened last time. Only CMs were able to deliver a full line-up. Megahouse quit and Beagle died. Now, for better or worse, Evolution Toys are filling the position for the dead CMs Corps. 2 minutes ago, jvmacross said: Welcome to the era of fake news......it'll be great, your gonna love it!

jenius Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Figma tease is very curious but could mean anything for now. Maybe they'll do figures that pair nicely with the Riobot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSenpai Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Toynami Alphas had pegs to lock the shoulder and forearm joints together too. That didn't stop the things from having that unsightly gap between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster with BGC and Mospeada is genuine, as folks who were in attendance took photos of it at the booth, including Yacopu, who posted it to Twitter.

Ex:ride seems to be Max Factory's 1/12 scale motorcycle brand. My guess is that we'll get a fixed-form cycle, figure, and separate ride armor parts.

Fixed form I guess is ok as long that it comes with both in Ride Armor and Armor Cycle. But since it's a 1/12 scale figure there's a possibility that it might be a parts-former kind of transformation. Megahouse did it in 1/15 so I think it's a safe bet that it will be another parts-former figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 How long does it usually take Figma to go from preview to production? From what I can put together, that Riobot MOSPEDA was what SAVE was alluding to to be on display at Wonderfest a few years ago. Preorders could go up tomorrow or next year or...

Slave IV Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Finally made it over to this thread. The announcement of the Sentinel Ride Armor is the best news I've heard since about 1984. I almost don't care about any other releases and just want this now. Sentinel usually makes repaints/retools so I would be amazed if we don't see variants after the initial release.

That one is superb even if it didn't last. And it's big at 1/10. 1/8 would be nice though but 1/10 is fine. Transformation and the proportion is not as anime accurate but it's perfect as is. Like I said too bad it didn't last since they only released the 2 main guys characters. I wouldn't mind too if this New Mospeada is the only one they will going to release since it's just a stand alone. But how I wish that this one will be succesful to green lit the others if they're planning on releasing it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain america Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 On 2/22/2017 at 8:43 PM, Graham said: In that above fighter mode pic, it looks like the rear landing gear wheels are not even touching the ground and it's actually resting on the rear landing gear door tips. Because the main gear units are too small, and that would be a fairly easy fix even on a 1/48 toy. The Legioss' calves are quite bulky and hang low, so the struts have to reach down far enough. I solved that by giving it a bit of a jackrabbit stance on my interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 ^^Consider how long the nose section is, there's also no reason for them to not lengthen the landing gear in the nose. Honestly, unless they put rachet joints in the shoulders, knees, and possibly, the hips, I don't see this new Legioss being exceedingly superior to the Toynami or CMs versions. It may have a few improvements over these older two. But it won't be a revolutionary difference (think Bandai SOC Voltron vs. Toynami Voltron). The shoulder design probably doesn't leave that much room, but it'd be interesting to see someone try to incorporate lateral movement in the shoulders (think shoulder fly lifts). Or maybe have someone design the arm boosters from the beginning to actually be a real connection point with the Tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) I'm with Mog. As much as I want to be hyped about it, I feel like I already owned ET's Legioss. Sculpt aside, the engineering is no better than that of Toynami or CM's, so I don't see how this one would do better in the areas those toys were lacking, and I don't feel like getting the same toy trice.

I recall seeing it I think on a magazine cover or article. Was it simply Aramaki modernizing the design to see what he could come up with? Did he make drawings of the other color variations like Rook and Lancer's bikes? There are modernized versions of all the variations in this Mospeada Dojin. From Comic Market 91 by Kurobousidan circle Here are the Rook and Lancer versions. If you can read the text would you be so kind as to post a translation?

Frogze Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That Riobot is the most beautiful toy I've seen in quite some time. It's going to be pricey but hopefully the build quality will not disappoint as Sentinel usually produces good stuff. Regarding transformation as Kazuo said earlier it looks like this one is actually working "realistically" regarding the transition from rider on a bike to armored trooper. It'll be very exciting if they can pull it off and still limit the transformation headache below Beagle levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
