    Is there any news of the Evolution Toys ZETA Legioss being released? It was scheduled for April... :unsure:

    I've taken this dash graphics insert as far as I care to for the time being.  I'll likely play with it some more in the future as inspiration strikes, but for now, here's what I have so far in EPS and PDF formats.

    Enjoy!

    Awesome! Thanks. :)

    I have a bunch of peeves with the parts easily popping off, but for the most part it's solid. I think we have only seen one pic of an actual break so far. If you have the Beagle, Megahouse or CMs then you should know what to expect - a fiddly toy that takes some getting used to. I wouldn't go in expecting a Masterpiece Transformer level of design quality, but as far as development goes it doesn't get much better than T-REX. Realistically, at 1:12 scale it isn't going to get much better than this, but the random armor popping off is a legitimate annoyance.

    Whoever asked - The helmet cones apart by applying a mild amount of gentle sideways force to the chin guard and moving it forward over a nub. The face then comes off easily and the visor slides out in a forwards direction - it's held in place by very small nubs where it rotates.

    Yeah, about 10 hours ago.

    I dont know, you mean aramaki himself? I still fan-boi'ing over all the photos, didnt quite check to see who was posting em.

    edit* as per google translate on his twitter bio...

     

    Tsuya Plakit box Painting, I mainly draw mecha pictures and girls pictures with HMM Zoid series, TCG · OG Crusade, DCD · Gundam trieage. Recently the Super Galactic Fleet, Racing Musume. Etc. We also participate in browser games, Eye mass general P from the end of Ake, Deremiri is JSJC force P.

    One more....from https://twitter.com/soratto33

    Yeah, so I think he does the Mercy Rabbit MOSPEADA illustrations, like the box art for the Sentinel Ride Armor. They also did illustrations for the WAVE Legioss kits and MOSPEADA Complete Art Works book. Incredible attention to detail, especially the WAVE boxes. B))

    And yes, I removed the silver paint from the visor.  No sanding or polishing required, just a little paint thinner on a Q-Tip.  B))

    Nice pics! How difficult was it to take the helmet apart? I'll probably end up 3D printing my own visor through Shapeways (as I only have a FDM printer). Or I might have to hassle Plastic Cretins to see if he'd be interested... :ph34r: :unsure:

    Found one via Twitter.

    That implies to me he rotated it too far and it broke... :unsure:

    One of the reasons I prefer HLJ or Hobby Search, I know they will do their best to replace a piece like that if they can, or refund/return it.

     

    Mine should be here in 41 hours... Yes, I'm counting down the hours now.

    Still not regretting not buying this. Congrats to those who did and who are excited about it though! I eagerly await some of you to get them in hand and throw up some pics and initial thoughts. As always will watch the Jenuis review when it gets done. I dunno...I just gotta say it..I still like the Beagle bikes more..It just really captured my inner 10 year old heart with a feeling of "now THAT is how a Cyclone should look!"

    While you can make obvious comparisons, they are different toys. The Beagle is my 2nd favorite toy next to the 1/48 Yamato Valkyrie, even though the Yamato 1/60 version is a better refined toy.

    Are those the T-REX add-on parts or third party? :unsure:

    Not sure if this is done by Aramaki. But the Blowsperior was featured on this book cover.

    Oh yeah, I think that could be an Aramaki illustration, but couldn't make out his name in the credits. It's also a much older illustration, but I still prefer the Blowsperior cowling to the other variants. :)

    i wonder HOW he removed the paint... chemicals or sanding/scratching.
    wonder how tough it is without actually damaging the clear part

    97% Isopropyl alcohol at a guess. Should remove paint without fogging up the clear plastic.

    Well, that's good news.  It says "I hated the front fender, so I took it off."

    It also says "I don't know why they painted the inside of the clear visor silver, so I just removed the paint."

    Thanks! Looks like it's easy enough to take the helmet apart. :)

     

    Looks better without the mud guard/fender too. :)

    Only Stick available..i need Ray too

    There will probably be the same story when Ray releases. Limited stock that has been canceled or refunded available at release. I think there are certain Apps that alert you, but I don't really use them. Grab that Stick if you want it, it probably won't be there too long... :unsure:

    I just received notice from AE that the Sentinel Stick is in stock and ready to ship.  Needless to say I wasted not time putting in a shipping request for it and the other 2 items I had sitting in purgatory waiting for this thing to release.  FINALLY!:yahoo:

    So I should be getting good news from HLJ tomorrow morning. :D

    Possibly followed by some bad bank account news if that Evo Toys Zeta Legioss actually releases this month... :unsure:

    you don't drink and transform valks.  :D

    After a big night out, a young Shoji Kawamori came home and transformed his VF-1 prototype, but passed out mid way through. The next morning he discovered gerwalk mode.
