Perxion Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 As time passes in the midst of this quarantine, fix my printer. And design this weapon for Ray's free hand in his armor. I named it Hive Breaker, but I'm not sure of the translation. If anyone can help me with that it would be great. The initial idea is that it is a weapon that with one shot can break the barrier of an invid hive. I hope you like it regards stay home!

ps99042 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I kind of want these but 1) the price sucks, 2)Toynami, and thus, HG is making them, and 3)they could give Rand his proper cyclone weapon.

I wouldn't worry about the price. At $90 apiece, they'll be lucky to sell half their production run... and deep discounts will likely follow. 15 minutes ago, ps99042 said: And, c'mon Toynami , is it Rand or Ray? Well, they're using the Mospeada logo, so it should be Stig and Ray... but of course, they're also using the "Cyclone" nomenclature, so it ought to be Scott and Rand... I just wish they wouldn't make up bullshit markings like the "22" on Ray's armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 For years, I've been wanting a good version of the Legioss to replace my crappy Toynami, and this version by Sentinel looks beautiful. Looking through their portfolio, I recognize a number of figs from Kuma's photos, so my assumption is that this will be high quality. Opinions?

tekering Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I'm cautiously optimistic about Sentinel's Legioss; it'll be superior to any other Legioss, sure, but that still doesn't make it a great toy. Amazon still says it's shipping at the end of June, but I'm highly dubious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Well, having read any number of Kuma's reviews and posts of their other figs, my impression is that they do a great job on non-transforming figures, but since this does transform, I'm a bit leery to plunk down $240ish for this thing without some certainty that it's well made. Already, I can see the main gear doors nearly touch the ground, which isn't ideal. However, it looks really good from every other angle and in all three modes, gear doors notwithstanding. Very tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The Ride Armors have some issues, but that was expected as it has a lot of little bits that move. I'm hoping that the Legioss won't have those types of issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite their Ride Armors breaking, Sentinel and their Riobots have a pretty good batting average in my book. So chances are high that their Legioss will be of good quality. Personally, I'm excited about the red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Are the ankle guards hinged or is that just a different angle at that spot?

M'Kyuun Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The blue 1/48 Sentinel Riobots Legioss is already starting to sell out on various sites, so I took the plunge and PO'd a copy from TFSource. HLJ, which has an order stop in place, has it for about $20 less than most of the popular US sites, but I figured I'd make up the difference in shipping, which will be free through TFS. Anyway, I hope it's as high quality as the rest of their products appear to be. It looks good, and, at the very least, is sure to be made of sterner stuff than my old Toynami, with its plethora of issues. I've never watched Mospeada, and feel no compunction to do so, but ever since I picked up the "Leader One" model by Monogram back in the 80's, I've had a soft spot for the design, even if it's a bit chunky and somewhat unrefined compared to Kawamori's more realistic valks. I love its battroid mode- it's just a cool looking anime mech that happens to turn into a decent sci-fi jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hinge seems awfully ambitious for everything else I'm seeing. I've printed and assembled this. The ankles are ball joints with the ball in the foot connecting via a round peg into the lower leg. That peg+ball could use some changes to make hold better. I certainly made some mistakes when printing out the pieces which contributed to some of the joints being floppier than if I were to reprint it out now.
