Is there an HLJ link for GX-88?
-
HLJ where you at?
-
Damn Amazon Japan won't ship either the 1S or GX 88 to the US. So sad.

GOOD THINKING!!!
I really hope the mold is as good as it looks, because my collection is screaming for a good modern legioss. I'm just a bit worried Sentinel will paint every surface of the legioss and it will be easy to chip paint with each transformation. I'm also worried they'll only use friction joints instead of some solid ratchets to keep the toy well balanced.

When would pre orders start?
Hopefully, within the next few weeks? Either way, I'm starting to save now for at least 3 variants of the mold.

Just saw this on facebook.
is Photoshop right....or a miss something?
Nope, it's real. It's being displayed at the Kawamori Expo in Japan right now.

I'm assuming the sentinel legioss will go up for preorder maybe later this month? I'm hoping we can get some sweet shots of the solider mode's articulation and hot underside shots of fighter mode.

I got my copy of the Steel Legend 1/100 Kshatriya in today. Getting the shoulder armor to clip in was kind of challenging because of the angle it had to go in. The neck ball joint needed to be lightly sanded to stick the head on otherwise, I'm not sure if the head would have ever went on. Additionally some of the side parts of the giant binders had to be installed. Luckily nothing was missing or damaged.
The figure itself has a very impressive paint job with a few very small imperfections here and there, but nothing to get mad about. Joints are all super tight, especially the ankle joints which take a lot of force to get going. The spring and locking mechanism for the binders works as intended. The metallic red paint used on the mono-eye catches light perfectly and really brings this figure to life. Detail is excellent and not over done like the 1/100 metal club version. The steel legend one will fit pretty well with other GFFMC and metal build figures. Articulation overall is good for the design, but due to the nature of this design you won't be getting any yoga poses.
I wish the binder opening was more anime accurate and opened up to expose the fin funnels without having to take the funnels on and off. The robot damashii replicated this feature without any issue so it's kind of a bummer this figure can't do that. If Steel Legend could make a compatible stand that could support the weight of this beast I would probably buy it for aerial poses. All of the joints are friction joints and while they are tight now, we shall see if they can still support the figure in a few years.
For a first figure from a new company I think they did a pretty good job, they just need to work on some tolerances here and there. While some liberties were taken with the design, this is one hell of a 1/100 kshatriya toy to behold.

But do they replace defective items if ever?
Thanks again guys for the fast reply.
I think they do if it's still in stock.

Anyone knows how the return and replacement policies with Amazon Japan if you're outside Japan? I'm assuming it's the same as US?
It used to be a much easier process, but now it's more of a headache. Filling out there forms and finding a DHL hub to drop it off at is annoying. Furthermore, you will have to pay a large sum of money to ship the item back and while AJ does refund you the shipping cost....in theory it's a hassle compared to Amazon US.

just felt like sharing. I'm convinced that wing zero is a magical girl robot and there's nothing you can do to change my mind.
My Wing Zero can't be this cute.

I love the 11b!
It was a fun valk to transform. Sadly bills are adding up and I am running out of space in my room.
-
I'm letting go of my Yamato VF-11B 1/60 from 2009. It was transformed multiple times, but all of the joints are still as tight as when I first got it. Paint is also still sharp. Nothing is broken or missing. Box and instructions are also still in good shape. If you would like to send me a reasonable offer send me a PM. I only ship to the USA. SOLD

The price is pretty disappointing since the legioss is honestly quite small in 1/48 scale. Sentinel continues to gouge prices. The ride armors were of a somewhat okay price tag, but 28k for the legioss is a bit much.
-
Interesting, I never realized until now the fighter mode had angled wings. For some reason I always thought they were straight.

Has anyone experienced the wrist on the Arcadia VF-0S forming cracks over time? Is this a problem this toy is known for? I have not messed with the hands (only displayed toy) since I bought it years ago and just saw cracks forming on both wrists.
I just checked my copy and I have a crack on the same wrist AND I see cracks on the finger joints near the knuckles. Yo, like WTF Arcadia? Is the VF-0 just plain cursed with problems? Well crap, my 0D has the same problems.
-
Well crap, that went really fast.
-
I hope T-Rex put some solid joints in the legioss. I don't just want a display piece that looks pretty.......like their recent Garland.
-
WOW the legioss looks so much better in color and I hope all of those markings are printed on. Double jointed elbows, deep ankle tilts, I'm getting all excited over here.

If bandai ever makes a GN arms for the MB Exia, ill be first in line.

MP Autobot collection so far. This makes my inner child scream with joy.

It was a nice day outside to swoosh this bird around.

I'm calling it now, $200 for just the fin funnels. Maybe this thing will tank and it will go on a modest discount for $600.
Kidding aside, I really think this is an amazing display piece and I applaud Bandai for having the balls to release this.
