Yeah, I guess they have just used a recolored Bandai Spartan for their pre-order page. All the panel lines, markings etc are identical.
-
Yay, managed to score the Sentinel Tlead last night.
-
Interesting, it does look identical.
-
Fantastic pics.

Just wondering if anybody knows why Tenjin is no longer doing the box art for Hasegawa Macross kits? Did Tenjin get too expensive, so that Hasegawa went with other artists? Or Hasegawa just decided to switch it up and try someone different? Or Tenjin finally got bored with doing Macross box art? Or Tenjin is just too busy these days with other projects? Anybody know?

My new Sentinel Legioss reissue doesn't have the flap issue. But one of the tail fins can get knocked off quite easily in fighter mode. As mentioned, the only other issue I have with mine is loose ankle joints in Diver mode and very tight thigh extension and hip joints during my first and only transformation so far. 😅

I think they have added some more pics of the toy to the official site. https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/tsparkofficial/toyrise/legioss/

Yeah, the recent Legioss Eta reissue that I just picked up unly comes with 2 wing pylons.

I just picked up the recent Sentinel Legioss Eta reissue and damn it was hard to transform, due to multiple super tight joints in the legs and hips. I transformed it from Fighter to Diver to Soldier mode in one session and it's now going to stay in Soldier mode forever, I'm not going to dare to transform it again for fear of breaking something. I admit to having very little experience with the Sentinel Legioss toys, I picked up a green one 2 to 3 years ago and promptly snapped one of the hip joints on the first transformation attempt. I was trying to follow the somewhat incomprehensible (at least to me) instruction manual pics. I neglected to watch any transformation videos at that time.........my bad. 😅 This time I actually watched the Scorched Earth Toys Transformation video, which helped a lot, although unlike in the video, the thighs on mine were super tight to extend. I thought I was gonna break the toy while trying to extend them. Also, even after watching and pausing the video multiple times, I could not figure out the correct hip bar position for Diver mode. I managed to get it into Diver mode eventually, but still think I didn't get the hip joints correct. I'm super wary about the hips on these toys, due to my above-mentioned previous bad experience with the green Legioss. I was however able to follow the video to get the hip bars in the correct position for soldier mode.😅 My only other complaint about the toy is that the ankles on mine are super loose (the only loose joints on the toy). It kept wanting to tip forward in Diver mode due to the loose ankles. I've recently been getting back into Mospeada and decided to get the Sentinel Legioss Eta to scratch my legioss itch as I didn't have any Legioss toys and although I've pre-ordered the Pose+ and the Takara Toyrise versions, they won't be released until 2026.

I agree. The price point and size is just right for me and will make it easier to afford multiples, while also being easier on shelf space. I personally really like the look of Legioss Omega toy in all 3 modes. I don't mind that these are a bit more toy like. I think they are gonna be fun little toys to play with, transform and pose and the 3mm hardpoints all over the toys should create some interesting options for attaching weapons. And I'm super looking foward to Takara Toyrise releasing other versions as will as TLEADs.
-
That is absolotely amazing!
-
Where are those Bulldog pics from? I've never seen or heard of that before. Very interesting.
-
Interesting, one of the Treads in that pic has forward swept wings.
-
So, on that website, they are teasing MLV Series, EZ series and AB-01 series (which is the Tread).
-
That is such a big tease. I am officially getting more and more excited for this line with each new info dump.
-
Hmm.........I'm wondering if some of the 3mm hardpoints placed all over the Takara Toyrise Legioss toy are designed to used for connecting to a future Tread release?
-
It's really growing on me. Should be a fun little toy.
-
The Halo figures look good and I've never even played Halo.😅
-
Interesting, so it has weapon mounting points on the shoulders, legs and wings
-
Yet to see one of these things in the wild in the toy and hobby shops we have here in HK. If I did see it, I'd probably pick one up on impulse, just for shits n giggles. But if I did get one, it would remain in Battroid mode forever. 😅
-
Ah OK. I have the Legioss and Tread on pre-order, but no news yet from the online store I bought from and my credit card has yet to be charged for them. I was hoping to pick up a second Legioss from a physical hobby store here, but zero sign of them.
-
Just I also haven't seen any show up in the physical hobby stores here in HK yet and we usually get stuff within a week of the release in Japan, sometimes quicker if they are shipping from a factory in China, rather than shipping from Japan. But so far, nada.
-
Can anybody confirm if the Sentinel Legioss reissue has actually been released yet or not? I've tried searching, but most sites just say August or Q3 release, but no updates if it's actually out yet or not.
-
Nope. Deathly silence from Bandai. I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for these. My feeling is, if Bandai had planned to release the FP's they would have released them together with the Bogue SV-262Hs, following the trend of recent releases which are bundled together with the FPs, Such as Hayate's VF-31J Super, Alto's VF-25F Super, Michael's VF-25G Super, Alto's VF-25F Tornado, Alto's VF-171EX, the recent Brera VF-27 Super.
