I don't like those hexagons at all, but won't stop me from preordering. I will file them down and paint the missile covers. I find them very distracting, IMO. Now where is the preorder button??

It does seem they were pretty far along but then it no-showed at the next SDCC and hasn't been heard from since. I'd like to see it be made but if I were a Toynami exec (LOL, think I'm making that company sound way bigger than it probably is), I'd probably shelve it with both ET and Sentinel already in the market. What they should be doing is trying to ink a deal with Sentinel to start bringing stuff over but that boat already seems to have sailed.

If I were to hazard a guess, until I see those chest flaps actually open, those hexagons may be the ports for the re-imagined missile launcher.

They look like they're molded as part of the larger plates/flaps, and just painted a different color. I think they're a decorative/stylistic element. Personally, I like them, but I can appreciate how others might not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teckno viking Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Have to say (may not be popular) but I don't mind the tabs on the blades of the new Mospeada. People keep saying high end piece. To be honest its not really is it. After all clothed 1/12 figures seem to market for £80-£100+. We certainly don't call Mezco high end with the constant corners they keep cutting. Now add the transformable bike tbh its a steal when you get these at retail prices. Hell just look at ebay with Riobots Mospeada going $200 to $400. The older 1/18 CM Brave Rider Mospeada (love these but tricky and fiddly buggers) equalling that price. Plus of course Beagles 1/10 going for anywhere between $400 to over $1000. That's the only time ou could call High end when the greedy have forced the price rise. Though that's a different matter. Honestly the Blade tabs are nothing or a quick sand job to remove.

Ridden001 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I love Macross, but seeing the Legioss and ride armors brings back more of that feeling from youth watching cartoons on Saturday. It is that feeling that causes 40 yr old men to drop $1,000’s on toys. The memory of the magical days.

And just so you know, Valkyries, Legioss, and Ride Armors are just part of the two-thirds of your Saturday Cartoons. Imagine if some company will pick up Southern Cross, the last one-third of that franchise and make a cool figures of it? Our wallets are doomed. But thankfully, I'm not a big fan of that one-third.

Yes, I believe they may represent actual ports. Unless the whole chestpiece plugs in/out, instead of being hinged (like the Megahouse where you change the chestpieces).

Ridden001 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) If Sentinel does not have opening missile bays, combined with those pegs on the blades, they really blundered. Even Megahouse had opening missile bays and no ugly peg on the blades. Megahouse has a simple hinge opening with missiles in the bay. They even give you spent missiles to change in and out if you want to simulate them being fired.

Mog Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It’s still a little premature to assume that the chest doesn’t open to show the missiles. I’m hoping Sentinel is holding back from revealing this feature. Besides if the Mospeada chests can rotate to have two types of headlights, I don’t see why they can’t do the same on the Blowsuperior. In any case, maybe Sentinel can still make some modifications to the production versions. Wouldn’t be the first time they made slight changes from the prototype.

jenius Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sentinel confirmed scale on their Legioss is 1/48, said they had a typo issue at the show. Again, at this size those scales are pretty interchangeable. Good to see the little VR041s with the ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easnoddy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think they will nail fighter by compromising on the leg length. The model of the soldier mode doesn't look as nice as their picture. Regardless, if I'll likely get them. When are the preorders opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
