Re: the feet. They do stick out, though doesn't seem as egregious as other non-Sentinel ones. There isn't the hip rotation feature to tuck the legs further into the chest intakes in Fighter. I assume that's for simplicity purposes. It then looks like they adjusted the lower legs to be slightly shorter so less mass sticks out the back. Shorter legs mean stockier Soldier mode, so they mitigate this by angling the feet downwards to that stiletto position to make it look taller again. That removable cockpit module just reminds me the VF-11 now.
-
Cynical me thinks Bandai will not release the FPs separately for above mentioned valks, but release it as a set with the valk again. Seems to be a very Bandai thing to do lately.
-
Pretty reasonable - smack in HMR valk price & size territory. Amazing they managed to keep the opening cockpit in Soldier, and one-upped the HMR by giving integrated landing gears. In fact, it looks to be PT like the bigger Sentinel. Even the pilot figure is articulated just like Sentinel's. Given all the above, it's curious they chose to have the forearms exposed without any covering panel. It's such a Takara TF thing to do.
-
I mostly skipped through here and there, but there are some bizarre engineering choices. One that really stands out is how the hips don't even secure to the nosecone in Battroid.
-
Excellent review as usual. Pretty surprised on the limited range of motion on the lower leg, I can only speculate Sentinel wanted to ensure stability with all the heft, moreso when combined with the Legioss on its lap.
-
I totally forgot Evolution Toys ever made the Legioss lol. It's just so out of mind that I almost swore there isn't any until @tekering's pics above.

Mog’s Last Custom Mecha Hurrah. . . Most Likely(?)
MKT replied to Mog's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's a very nice custom @Mog. The gatling is really the icing on the cake, and wow it's motorised too. -
Not often we come across Yamato v1 custom, this looks pretty awesome.

Forgot the colours are based on Takani’s art, which makes it even more cool to me now.

Found another pic online, this one seems clearer of the face. It’s a different face sculpt, this one is based on Rick Hunter in the Shadow Chronicles. Agree, the Jolly Rogers looks kinda odd here. What threw me off more from the in-hand pics are the colors. I was expecting to see dark, low-vis, gunmetal-type shades as per the single image put out by Toynami earlier, but now it’s just a light blue color.

What I like about this variant is that it's not a straight color swap of the red bits to yellow. There's a sepia-like tint applied to all the colored bits of the armor which works quite well to my eyes. What I don't like - it's another one of those BS lottery schemes to obtain one. Not sure if I wanna pay the almost certain hiked up secondary prices for it.

I think, when KC did a renewed push last year on the GBP that included free base valk (the first ‘upgrade’ he’s referring to), response must have been quite tepid. If I’m reading correctly, it now sounds like there will be a v3 VF-1 with more metal. Hopefully it finally solves all the shortcomings of the current mold.
-
It’s his reply to one of the questions in that FB post.

Perhaps 1/60 is influenced from his days at T-REX, and he did work on some of Yamato's Macross stuff. But not complaining since it's the best scale going smaller than Sentinel's. Didn't work out any numbers, but 1/60 would prolly be in the ballpark of the HMR VF-1 size.. I can see it being a good desk toy.

Cross-posting: Maeno-san, who did the whole suit of Sentinel’s Mospeada toys, is also the designer of Toyrise’s Legioss. No wonder the proportions are so similar. He has also confirmed the scale is 1/60, & intentionally made it simpler than Sentinel's. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EtEaoj7Pg/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Yup it has been happening over past week. Posts go missing then reappears few days later. Has been occurring in the Transformers thread too.

At the very least Toynami has to ensure it has the same build quality & heft of the original, remastered tooling or not. Cutting any corners like reducing diecast or cheapening out plastic quality will only pile on more hate to the 'other' franchise holder. At end of day I'd just like to see better quality, or rather, competent toys for the other side and it now looks to be off to a good resurgence with the announcement of this, Takara, Pose+ & the already released MoShow.
-
Awesome! When I first saw the illustration of this pose years ago, I thought it was some kinda joke, cos my mind goes to kinky mode imagining how they are connected to each other.
-
If referring to any transparency, then unlike the 0S, the VF-2SS’s a very solid white.

Didn't Toynami wanted to release this many years ago, before they were blocked by HG? If so, now they have come full circle..
