Apollo Leader Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I was at Kunicon all weekend in St. Louis. Before I left early this afternoon, Kevin McKeever showed me the Mospeada Legioss versions of Toynami's Super Poseable Alphas. Here are some of the pictures I took (I will be posting a separate Kunicon thread later Monday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Leader Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) The other two Legioss. I just noticed that Houquet's Legioss still has a reference to it being an "Alpha"... oops! Edited March 7, 2005 by Apollo Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 So what exactly does this mean? I assume this is primarily just for the Japanese market since absolutely nothing is different from the RT stuff except for the packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 These 'Mospeada' versions have been selling here in Hong Kong for about 6 months to a year already. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend is going over to HK soon. Can I find them in the usual Animate/Sino Centre/TRU/Kanto Hobby? The only places I have seen them are Jusco department stores and the 'UML' chain of toy/modelshops. I forget the exact price, but I think it was around HK$85 to HK$95. I haven't seen them at all in Animate, TRU or Kanto Hobby. Actually, I think all the branches of Kanto Hobby may have closed down already. Anyway, they definitely had the Mospeada Superposeables in the Jusco in Tai Po (where I live) and the UML branch in Windsor House in Causeway Bay, but as it was 6 months to a year ago that I noticed them, I'm not sure they will still have stock. There were only a few pieces on the shelves and they didn't seem to be getting much love. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 even in Australia they're collecting dust on the shelves of Electronics Boutique. poor little fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Any word on the Mospeada packaged MPC Legioss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legioss Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Those are still turds. I'm not fooled by the mock Asian packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicsp00n Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I've seen these for sale in the Japanese store at Epcot Orlando about six or seven months ago. I think the superposeables are good toys, if you're not interested in transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogami Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 even in Australia they're collecting dust on the shelves of Electronics Boutique. poor little fellas! I saw the green one at a local Electronics Boutique in Vancouver, Canada not long ago... it is dirt-cheap too... less than $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Cheapest EB Aus can do is 25% off the discounted $14Aus for the Mospeada versions. Pity that now that other Australian retailers are carrying Toynami product apparently from Toynami's Aus distribution trail, they're no cheaper than EB.... until they sit long enough and get desperate to dump it (DYRL Valks 50% Aus RRP)... excluding the stuff they do order is limited number like the MPC Alphas Cyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 This spring I'm tempted to see how well my Superunposeable Alpha stands up to the mighty .45 ACP. Robotechnology versus John Browning Who will prevail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I really wanted these guys to add to my collection, but unfortunately, they were only to be given out at the 2:00 Robotech Panel and I had to head back home before then.

Osean Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm so glad I didn't buy those things because they don't look very accurate and they have a chubby look to them. Was the shadow fighter mpc on display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I picked up the entire poseable line for $19.99 and I think that, at that price, they were well worth it. You can definitely get some good posing out of them and they don't really look "chubby". While they definitely may not be "line art" perfect they sure fit the anime well (but I'm sure you're all aware how far anime tends to sway from line art).

Jarrod Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 A few months ago(close to six I believe...) I was at the Japan pavilion at Epcot, and saw these(they carry numerous Toynami products). I was looking at them, mostly checking the price, walked away, stopped, and had to go back and check to make sure I read that package right Never thought much of it afterwords...and haven't seen 'em anywhere since.
