I have all 3 Betas including an extra Blue Beta and Scott's Alpha. Never did get the Red or Green one though...

You bought one Toynami Alpha, and FOUR Toynami Beta fighters?  :huh:

I got into collecting the Mospeada toys late in the game, not til like 2012.I bought all the poseable Soldier mode Alphas. The Beta's I managed to get for really cheap both here on MW & the RT store when there were on sale a few years back.

If someone puts up the Red & Green Alpha for a decent price I'd get them. B))

The Evolution Toy Dark Legioss has landed.

522704442_DarkLegioss.thumb.jpg.03f2406128bbb38d2523c5e42bfe38a7.jpg

It features all the design innovations and quality of construction we've come to expect from Evo Toys...  <_<

Surprisingly, however, it comes with two pilot options.  :huh:

The smaller-scale Borough Superior figures are also a welcome addition to your collection*, despite their awkward poses and proportions.

* Y'know, if you collect that sort of thing.  :p

Damn. :( 

 

That could be it from ET. I don't expect them to do the Drone Legioss seeing as it would take actual retooling.

Mine should ship after the Golden Week holiday (because I know how much people here want to know that sort of thing :unsure:).

How tall in millimeters are the standing figures? (mine are packed away atm) I'm curious as to what scale they are... :unsure:

Well, the Dark Legioss passes the bare minimum required for an Evolution Toy: it cuts a heroic figure.

minimum.thumb.jpg.0a04262dc070acdfdbc2ea2ff2ee1360.jpg

But look closer, and problems are immediately apparent:

1147890402_hangingpanel.thumb.jpg.e5271c92b64c227108e8a330df025da3.jpg

See how that panel just hangs loose under the right arm?

1961293130_firstproblem.thumb.jpg.a6b3881187acec44f90b6aac060d814e.jpg

There's no enough tension to hold it up, and nothing to lock it in place where it belongs...

28433415_limpwrist.thumb.jpg.971f77991ac9c992839a32e8fd147543.jpg

...and the wrist lacks the strength or the tension to hold the gun straight, too.  :mellow:

1959063488_missingnub.thumb.jpg.f907ab138bb090014bfccf24ddb3405c.jpg

The port wing has a properly-molded tab to lock the wings into the fuselage for Armo-Soldier mode, but the starboard wing has only a malformed stump.  :shok:

2030787332_therightarm.thumb.jpg.7684c1423beb7cfe6904a001b9459dff.jpg

The right forearm, at least, fits fairly flush with the shoulder (as long as you don't tab the arm into the leg below it)...

15033766_theleftarm.thumb.jpg.03be4d1a2c240041cd33b81a913184a9.jpg

...but the left forearm won't go in any further than this.  :unsure:

And look at that glue residue on the shoulder!  :angry:

residue.thumb.jpg.39f4bbb3b1c71505ce649e13ee9eb068.jpg

In fact, glue residue and grease are all over the toy...

stained.thumb.jpg.c0bcbb5237974f11483148b1a9e7d56c.jpg

...and the surface shows visible stress marks and oily fingerprints, even before transformation is attempted.

It's a pain to deal with returns through Amazon.jp, but I can't accept this garbage.

Yeah, that's about how I feel about the quality control.  Mine's a total crap show.  :bigshok:

They're 1:60th.  Note how well they display with Bandai, Yamato, and Arcadia figures at the same scale:

I display them with the Toynami Alphas, and they scale really well together.  B))

So, Amazon immediately sent me a replacement...

1383003566_promptreplacement.thumb.jpg.ee964837020985923db7ed8ab4a526d4.jpg

...and I'm happy to say it's a major improvement.  With proper tabs on the wings this time, everything locks up securely in the back...

2129258173_fixedwing.thumb.jpg.dc79c6f746ecb96134ab8fbd515f3a6e.jpg

No glue residue on the surface this time around, and the joints in the right arm are now strong enough to handle the weight of the gun.  :good:

improvements.thumb.jpg.522ae6b8c63f53d0265db0071e3e5186.jpg

However, there are some unique problems with the new one as well, like that stress mark on the protruding peg...

49930360_stressmark.thumb.jpg.548e2b6145621d0ec32bcee9aa28d155.jpg

...and, while much less greasy overall, there's still a significant amount of oil on the thighs.

Still, it's good to know they aren't all garbage.  :p

Thanks, Size Chart 2 was what I was looking for. I wonder if it's fan made or actually exists in a publication somewhere.

I'd say official, since it's in the MOSPEADA Complete Art Works book:

Here's a closeup of the second one:

There are also these different size comparisons in the old ARTMIC Design Works B-Club Special:

While going through all my stuff in storage I found an extra box and inside that was more Mospeada toys, I actually forgot I had more toys in there. 

So I decided to take some pics, enjoy! B)):D

Thanks Ignacio! The CM's isn't the greatest since there are no "Locking tabs" but if you can still find it for a good price, grab a Pilot-less Type Dark Legioss or two, they look awesome! :D

Got the ET shadow legioss, definitely the worst of the bunch. An attempt to milk the mold to death. The new arms are too short for the fighter mode leg tab holes (out of the box). The CMS dark legioss (both) are way better than this guy. I'll leave it in soldier or diver eventually.

I have an opportunity to get a heavily yellow red Gakken Legioss.  Looks complete other than the gun and figures, but has the pilot in cockpit.  How much should my max offer be?

The pilot isn't removable so if its' not in there someone did some work on the toy. No broken kneecaps and all wings accounted for is nice. I paid $150 shipped for a complete with unused stickers red Alpha without yellowing not too long ago if that helps you identify a top end. It would also be worth more (though not for a particularly good reason) if it's stamped "Made in Japan" as the Gakken Japan red Legioss is harder to come by.
