All the Moderoid kits I've built come prepainted.

There's a vast difference between "prepainted" and "parts molded in appropriate colors." 😒

The under kibble is absolutely obscene, no landing gear for that Legioss.

Plus the hexagonal bolts, the horrible orange and teal colors, the ugly-ass head...  The whole thing stinks to me. 

Of course, that's to be expected from "Skunk Works Toys." 🙄

I'm not entirely sure what direction they're trying to go with this new legioss design but it's just not for me. Adding the gundam head and all the janky gundam bulk underneath in fighter looks really ugly. Also who blocks off half their front intakes by slapping large guns on the lerxes. 

I'll pass on the overstylized design and wait for my riobot stuff to ship and hopefully there's not crazy tariffs in the US at that time XD

When you consider every single Legioss toy (excluding kits) ever made since the 1980's, just for once I would like to see a company, no matter who... just take the original 1980's Anime design and make that. 

By that I mean, no more, revamped or re-imagined designs. Take the lessons from Sentinel and make the originals, they clearly proved it's possible in 1/48 scale to make very detail, high quality and solid fitting toy with accurate, impressive landing gear. 

Gakken: Big, bulky, hefty and for its day, a true legend. (No leg or arm locking mechanism's.) 

CM's: Oof-magoof!   (No leg or arm locking mechanism's plus other issues.) 

Toynami: Looks pretty good but a QC nightmare all around, terrible landing gear. (Then & now)

Evolution Toy: The irony of the word "Evolution" in your company name. (Poor quality overall and the worst hands ever designed.)

Sentinel: Overall, very high quality, sturdy, rock solid, fighter mode looks amazing, however it is a re-imagined design, not OG. (Unpainted pilot figures are the only real negative IMO.) 

BANDAI or ARCADIA: The ball is in your court, seriously, just imagine an ARCADIA or Bandai made Legioss.

I do love the tweaks Sentinel did to the design:  compacted the fighter mode, redesigned the transformation process to shorten the nosecone on the armo-soldier mode.

Part of me wishes there was an option to angle the wings parallel to the ground, instead of having that downward cant.

But there’s enough there that it doesn’t look out of place with the original Legioss design.
