jeniusornome Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Well guys, however you want to justify it, to me it’s $250 for a 6 inch toy. A couple of extra features making a small toy even more delicate and likely to break does not, to me, translate to “worth more than a huge VF-1 toy.” like I said though, I’m looking forward to pictures.

I hope this Legioss toy proves to be all those things. I dont think this is feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 There's something "off" about it in soldier, but the fighter and diver modes are pretty. I guess this is our first legioss built for fighter which has compromises for soldier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enphily Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Someone "combined" new legioss with CM's Tread, looks good. I'm sure 2 or 3 years later we will get good Tread for it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is our first legioss built for fighter which has compromises for soldier. It's a redesign. The legs don't tuck underneath the intake pecs like the original design does. That's not to accommodate fighter mode, that's how the redesign was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 That CMs Tread looks kind of undersized next to the Sentinel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My AJ doesn't have a shipping date, but does have an approximate arrival date of Jul 3 thru 6 which reconciles with that shipping date if shipped via DHL. Apparently when this thing got announced I was preorder happy. I'd forgotten about orders I have with AmiAmi (shipped last night/this AM via DHL) and Hobby Search (stuck until EMS resumes). -b.

Looking at the pics, I have to say the Sentinel version is sooooo much better when it comes to everything compared with Toynami - details, proportion, markings, even colouring. I'm seriously considering picking up a second copy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That cockpit transition is brilliant. Such a beautiful figure. I thought it'd be slightly bigger than it is, in comparison to the Toynami, but , y'know, that's a perfect size. I'll be able to make room a little easier in my already crowded Detolf. So excited to get this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 1 hour ago, enphily said: comparison with toynami/aoshima by 高田べん@BenTakada It really shows how compact they got the exhaust thrusters/feet for fighter mode. Same thing for Armo-Soldier mode with the nose cone not coming down so low. The only other thing I’d like confirmed is if the hips can tilt into an honest to goodness A stance. If it can pull that off and assuming all the joints are solid, we may finally have a worthy successor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there are two screws around the ankle joint so maybe you can tighten those. That and the main just is a ball joint so I can imagine you can add some super glue or varnish in there to make it tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I’d still like to see a dead-on, straight on, flat shot of the A stance. All the pics shown so far are all at an angle. Not a deal-breaker by any means. . . I’m still in for a red, once it goes up for preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Crazy to imagine this thing, with all its amazing engineering and some metal in the construction... costs about the same as the comparatively awful Evolution Toy Legioss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It DOES look amazing, I gotta say! Everything I could want in a Legioss really. Bike and mini fig need paint though! That would erk me on a $250 toy, but whatever. Happy for those who landed one! Will be eagerly awaiting @jenius's review! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
