teckno viking Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Oh the Teasing Begins. Surely not long now till they release these for our long awaited PO''s lol Now the big question is does the bike fold up for storage too? Now that Would be excellent If it does. Great to see more articulated poses of the figure too. This just makes me More Eager NOW to have mine haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enphily Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Now we need 1/12 Legioss with storage for bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) is it just me or in comparison to the initial model that was shown, the visor is lighter and far more "busy" almost as if they turned it inside out. Could also be lighting... Original showing Latest showing Still no shoulder scope (but i guess they opted for the "thats all done in the helmet with a HUD" approach) Also, I dont think the steering turns at all, will limit some of the poses you can strike if looking to be accurate Edited March 27, 2018 by Snake Eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w8kbrder Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Is it just me or does the visor now look like a Jack-O-Lantern? I'm going to be really bummed if those visor "veins" are external/raised off the visor. I don't know why they opted to go that route with the visor but I'm just gonna put it out there that it looks like crap. Aside from the main focal point of the varicose visor, the whole thing looks pretty incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be lighting...but the original has the same pattern...however its not as noticable.....but that 2nd version...looks raised. It completely distracts you from that nice sleek/clean look. Far removed from the original. Not happy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing. With all the new photos they've shown, they still couldn't show a side profile of the bike with the rider mounted. I'm really curious to see how the rider looks esp the legs area while its feet is resting on the footrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all that changed cell to cell LOL Totally agree with you wishing a side photo had been included. Just hope that's not a PR move cause of issues.

sh9000 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I’ll probably regret it just a little but I cancelled my preorders for Stick and Ray from NY a while back and they had them for pretty good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's on the ground once you center the bike. I'm pretty sure that the bike is tilted more on the left side for this photo. But if it's like that, like awkward looking since it's further back, the only way to display this is going to be like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's like that, like awkward looking since it's further back, the only way to display this is going to be like this: I agree with you that it's tilted, but not by much. Maybe in the neighborhood of 3 degrees? Not perfect, but hey, I'm ok with it, especially considering that they seem to be trying to be as true as possible to the MOSPEADA book redesigns. Now, will we get a Yellow like from the Animation Bikes book? (I'm actually fine without it, especially since it is a very different design aesthetic from the Sentinel bikes and I don't think it was illustrated by Aramaki, though I can't read the Japanese on the inside cover to be sure; just kind of a fun thought) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Just happy to see some progress pics. I like all of my Sen-ti-Nel Iron Man Re:Edit figures and that makes me confident in this release. I'm not a huge fan of that visor (would prefer that it be smooth), but it's not anything that will turn me off from enjoying the toy. -b.

But seriously I do love it. Not anime accurate but I like the updated look of it. They didn't go (imho) overboard with the aesthetic liberties like some of their other mecha releases (Gaiking?). I feel like the changes are tasteful and give it a slightly futuristic edge that the Mospeada deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
