I can ship you a set from Japan via EMS for less than $20 USD.  

That would be awesome, thanks! :D

Is thete a price for additional visors?

Also, orders are up on Facebook. Will post a FOR SALE ad here a little later. In the meantime, shipping rates are available now.

Damn, that practically doubles the cost!

I love the new visor, but it will match the same color for all the 4 characters? 

I'm asking because I don't know if the visor of Fuke or Yellow have the same color of Stick or Rei.

Yellow's visor was green.

Their visor shapes were also both different to Stick and Rey's.

Awesomw work, Captain!

Many thanks, especially for the visor.

It arrived a few days ago. So lucky I was able to get one because of your post.

 

Sweet, I think it was a leftover stock rather than reissue, so well done! 

My Robot Spirits Griffon Labor arrived today. It's a nice figure, but I think I prefer the Revoltech, even though it's smaller.

Yes, and that's a significant part of the price increase. The visors are actually scribed on the underside, so I had to make special tools to fill and sand the very tight compound curve, which is a major tedious PITA, but it's coming along.

Well, it looks great so far.

Will the visor be available for individual purchase as well? It was an annoyance with a lot of buyers here.

That's some awesome casting decisions you've made there Capt.

Very happy to see the visor included. Did you smooth out lines from the underside?

Yes, you can contact him by facebook, but the times that I consult him to buy some things he always made excuses for problems with his printer. Good luck.

The printer was replaced a few weeks ago as he said it was previously unusable. Maybe ask again.

wing/cockpit transformation breakout :

Sentinel did a great job designing the wings' folding mechanism.

It's definitely proportioned differently from the competition, but not so much for me to reject it altogether.  The small size may be a benefit for an attached TLEAD in the future.

If what F18LEGIOSS posted is right, it's transformation is non-canon, and possibly ties into the 'neo ride armors'. The seam lines in the Legioss are different to the line art. Any included pilot and ride armor will tell.

The Sentinel Bartley illustration looked similar to the original bike cowling. It was the armor that had changed more.

Of course, Yellow and Hoquet also have slightly different visors to Stick and Rey's. And Yellow's is tinted green.

I will attept to re-cast the visor, but because I don't want to mangle the original, I will have to cast it once, modify it and cast it again. It's a small and very thin part, so no guarantees.

Hats off to you, sir!

Looking great, Capt! 

The visor wouldn't be missing because you're doing recasts without us, would it..?

Too bad the head is so low in fighter mode, the chest also looks like it hangs pretty low so clearance will either be minimal or we're going to have plug-in landing gear. I don't really understand it either, I don't see a reason why the center of the chest needs to just out past the intakes before you even swing out that internal piece... seems like a poor design choice.

We don't know scale yet but I'm told it's close to Toynami MPC in size so around 1/48 or 1/55 by official measurements.

Remember, Sentinel is leaving wiggle room for this to be a "reimagining" of the Legioss like they did with the Ride Armors so they can make a few decisions that contradict original line art if it suits the toy... so the landing gear might be unconventional. 

I'm curious which will get slotted for production first, Yellow or the Legioss. I would guess the Legioss since repaints are so easy and Yellow is a one-and-done.

The head and chest of the Legioss might be drooping down as it's only a resin prototype. I'm hoping that's the reason. The cockpit section also appears to be drooping forward a bit too... 

So is the 1/24 Patrol Car being restocked?

This appeared in my Hobby Search news letter today.

I'd guess  we'll see test shots in six months at Winter Wonderfest and preorders going up not too long after. Hopefully all four ride armors will be out by end of 2019, as well as the first Legioss (and a Tread prototype ).

does it transform?

I would assume it does, but it's unconfirmed. For better or worse, the original promo pic had Freeing associated with it.

I can't wait for a colored prototype so I made my own.

 

That's some nice 'shoppin there no3Ljm. 

Shouldn't the sabers be white tho? 

It will transform. I think what tekering was implying is that it's a resin prototype not capable of achieving transformation eg no diecast frame. If you check out yaco's twitter feed there are pics of the fighter from above that show it barely holding together.

Sentinel has been working with Mercy Rabbit and this is almost certainly his rendition of the Legioss. Here's the line art:

I have a poster of that pic.

The WAVE kits' box art was done by Mercy Rabbit as well. Illustrating their too kits even tho they don't transform.

Actually, that's clearly just an early mock-up, and not even capable of transformation.  It's much too soon to make any determinations whatsoever.  Let's just hope Sentinel doesn't go belly-up before the toys can be produced... Mospeada is cursed like that.

Just ask CMs, or Beagle.  

At least CMs finished the line years before going bust.

I just want to know if the Motoslave transforms.

Figma motoslave prototype is up. Don't suppose there's any sign of their MOSPEADA line?

That's a helluva scoop, jenius!  

I'm excited we may be getting a new Legioss toy -- and the fighter mode looks excellent -- but the soldier mode is a real disappointment.  The head's huge, the hands are tiny, the intakes are squared-off and splayed out at a weird angle, with an awkwardly wide chest and absurdly skinny torso and thighs.  

Bummer.  

But hell, bring on the Bartley and Borough Superior!  

I thought it looked weird from front on too, but looks great from other angles. The comparitively small head of the ET Legioss annoyed me more.

I'd be happy enough to get an updated Sentinel Legioss in the same style as the Sentinel ride armors.
