At 217 grams, Sentinel's Mospeada "Riobot" is only slightly heavier than a Yamato/Arcadia VF-1 Valkyrie.  Diecast is limited to structural supports, hinges, and the thruster housings that extend from the wheel hubs.

Thank so much for the reply , with the Yamato/Arcadia reference you just gave almost an exact idea of the heft of the figure ^_^, once again congrats for your purchase. ;)

Aramaki's modern redesign includes visible lines across the visor, perhaps suggesting an HUD of some kind.  Those of us who don't like the look on their figure have opted to remove the silver paint lining the inside of the visor, to make the sculpted lines less conspicuous... and those who actively hate the look can simply paint over the outside of the visor, concealing them completely.

Oh, and it's "Stig," not "Stick."  Tatsunoko was big into using European names back then, and it's a common name in Scandinavia.

Ignorance is no excuse, guys.  <_<

LOL fair enough. But since they put "Stick" on the box, that's what I'm going with, if only because it's amusing to me. After all, weren't you the one who told me spelling consistency has no place in Japan? :D

Yeah, I see your logic here.  "If they don't give a damn, why should I?"  :rolleyes:

Good luck getting your own, sir!  No transformable motorcycle enthusiast should be without one.  :wub:

Oh man I've love to have a new and improved Priss & Motoslave; yeah I'd buy all the Knight Sabers. I loved that show, as cheesy as it was.

I had the old Yamato version, but it was tiny and kinda disappointing.

I thought Bubblegum Crisis 2040 was pretty good, the original one was definitely cheesy though.

Never saw 2040. DId watch Crash. It was just as cheesy but somehow substantially worse than the original. It was their Macross II, I suppose.

There is a  bubblegum crisis in the year 2040? Dental issues? Is chewing gum not affected?

The conflicts of the future will be fought over bubblegum, not fossil fuels. Didn't see that one coming, did you?

You should give it a watch, 26eps long rather than 8 (+3 OVA) and actually completes a full story. Also it's about a decade newer.

Well, it's not Sentinel, but Figma / Freeing are currently working on a new priss with motoslave. Hopefully we see a prototype next Wonderfest. 

@SuperHobo that is great news. Was it just an announcement or did they have some prototype pics?

I hope they'll be making the all of the Knight Sabers.

 

Today's arrival

Sadly the figma announcement was just a placeholder card with an illustration. I pray a prototype will be shown at summer wonderfest.

I definitely want this... if I may ask, how far under MSRP did you find it?

$100 (AUD) on ebay. I was the only bidder. Seller still hasn't posted it as yet. Maybe they a little pissed that it didn't bid up at all. I hope they do follow through with it.

As a whole I'm really liking it but it loses points for that visor.. should have been completely smooth.

Great photos Saburo!

Thanks spanner!  I initially didn't like the "Mjölnir armor visor" but its growing on me.

¥35000, for an opened one. Mainly I picked it up because I'd been waiting to pull the trigger and it could share shipping with the YF-19 fold booster. Needed a second.

Were you still looking for a Maruyama 171? There's an open one on Mandarake for 28k.
