SNL still proving among lots of iffy skits, they can produce a Gem!! 

So, the question is, will someone use their 3D printing skills and make a Zentradi soldier to put inside these? 

Awesome review @jenius That ratchet joint sound is impressive! 

A DYRL screening would be fun and a good excuse to visit CA again... I'll sneak in some backpacking afterwards. LOL

@tekering I actually bought one of the Aoshima kits a few years ago to use just in fighter, not too happy with the overall design. 

For me because the Legioss is such a small mecha vs the Valkyrie, 1/72 scale is too small for my taste. 

Just like the all the scales afforded the Valkyries, I'd love to have a squadron of Legioss fighters (Hasegawa or WAVE quality) in 1/48 scale (detailed landing gear, resin pilot, open/close canopy and missile racks, etc.), especially the Dark Legioss. 

One of these days perhaps.

Didn’t they transform, I really don’t remember them

I have both the Masterpiece & CM's (Variable) Alphas plus the poseable Soldier mode only toys. (I have Scott, Rook & Lancer too.)

If these new Legioss kits were in 1/48, it would have gone great with the Poseable version. Sadly, it's not in the cards for me on this one.

Then it would be too big since their other kits are 1/72

Well, I'd rather have 1/48 to go with my Toynami Alphas.

At least make it 1/48 scale... 1/72 is too small.

Still been waiting a QUARTER-CENTURY for a VFX-2 Ravens colors one:

 

 

(only ever got to play the demo in the US, but it was fun while it lasted----and the -11 was the main valk on the demo disc)

The biggest change that Arcadia would have to make are the rear Vertical stabilizers, both the 1/72 & 1/60 Yamato releases are waaaay to small. 

It needs to look like the Hasegawa kits, the VF-11B is probably my favorite Valkyrie but the 1/60 was a disappointment for me in fighter mode. This is one of the few Valk's I prefer without the fast packs. Also, a better designed pilot so Isamu doesn't look so chunky.

I have a feeling that we will not get a complete Super Seigfrieds. Instead of releasing this Revival shenanigans with the VF-31J, they should've just released Arad's, Chuck's, and the VF-31A's Super Packs and call it a day. Or better yet, just reissue the VF-31A instead.

The VF-31A & Mirage's VF-31C is my only appreciation for Delta. 

(off topic) I'd rather see Bandai tackle a DX VF-2SS + SAP, but that's just me. 

Official trailer. This looks really good and is based on an actual serial killer named Rodney Alcala. 

Big fan of Anna Kendrick. 

I decided to watch the series "Yellowjackets", and I must admit, it's a good series. One season down, one more to go. (3 season is apparently in the works.)

If you take elements from: The Blair Witch project. X-Files, IT, Lord of the Flies, The Shining, ALIVE (the rugby team in the Andes) and tie it in with a pretty solid story plus a cast of solid actors, yeah, it's a good show and I recommend it. 

Still here waiting for a VF-1A Cannon Fodder to be announced... which, I feel is going to be a long time from now.

Watched The White Lotus on MAX. Very "HBO" if you know what I mean and didn't know what to expect but it was really good!

Season 1 is really good, Season 2 is pretty good (and it's very, very HBO) with a solid ending. 

Season 3 should be out next year, looking forward to it.

Thank you for the multiple memories & experiences, both on the small & big screen. RIP Maggie Smith. 

While I'm still not a fan of this "Re-imagined" design of the Ride-Armor... this particular shot does look pretty damn cool. 

And I make Zero apologies for being the broken record on this, IF, if MoShow Toys made a TV series original design Ride-Armor/Cyclone with this much detail and this poseable, sign me up & insert the Futurama meme of Fry! 

@davidwhangchoi Gundam F91 & 0083 Stardust Memory are two of my favorites.

I know there’s some noticeable differences, but isn’t the Sentinel versions pretty damn close to the original designs?

Biggest changes would be:

* Getting rid of the HUD lines on the visor;

* Removing the mudguard on the front wheels;

* Adding cloth to cover each figure’s torso;

* Changing the bike headlights on Stig and Rey’s rides;

* Sanding off the grey bits on Yellow’s missile bay covers; and

* Repainting Houquet from that horrid hot pink to cherry red.

Am I missing anything else? 

The designs that Sentinel are using are close/similar to the TV originals but for me, I want essentially what Beagle/Toynami made for their Cyclones, for me that was as close as we got to getting a TV Accurate Ride-Armor and that's what I want to see a company like MoShow take a swing at, because from what I can see in those videos, that looks like a mighty solid toy without the perfection transformation headache. 

Below is an old picture of my Rand Cyclone, this is what I want, simple, clean lines and above all, what I grew up with watching on weekdays after running home from school in time to watch & record RT on VHS.

THIS!!! I'm also in for the OG design. And I'm willing to complete the 4 riders if they're going to do it. 

Also, what's stopping them, right? I mean it's already under Robotech. I don't think they will have problems using the original design at this point, right? Also, they don't need to rip off Sentinel's 'Mospeada' design when they have the original 'Robotech' design to follow. 

If, and that's a mighty big if... should MoShow ever go that route, unlike every previous company they need to go full CM's. They were the only company who did everything minus the Dark Tread/Shadow Beta. Besides the original 4 characters bikes, I want a Dark grey Ride-Armor. 

While I don't like knowing my $$$ goes to Robotech/HG I'm willing to look the other way for some accurate Cyclones, especially at that size. 

While I absolutely do not like this rendition (design) of the Ride-Armor, especially the Motorcycle portion, I actually do appreciate the fact that this is a parts former. While I no longer have my MPC Rand Cyclone, that thing was a major headache to transform and from the videos I have seen, the Sentinel isn't much easier. 

The Articulation, details & tampo on this Ride-Armor are impressive and the fact it can stand on its own with no stand, I give MoShow high marks for that. 

So, to MoShow Toys, here's my deal to you, make a Ride-Armor like the original designs from the 80's TV series and I am on board with a big bag of $$$.
