twich Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think this has great potential. The last Mospeada toys that I had were the CM ones, and they fell apart like nothing else. I would like to get the sentinel stuff, but if these are affordable, I would consider this. The scale makes it seem like it would not be too small to manipulate with my old, arthritis ridden fat fingers! Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Oh Pose+ is gonna be pricier than Sentinel, going by their current offerings. That Alpha also looks to be almost double the size of Sentinel’s. Bigger than the Chogokin VF-1 even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perxion Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I think that Sentinel has not participated in WonderFest for a while. I think that since it is made in China, does anyone have info about this? I would have liked to see a preview of the Tread. bad vibes Sentinel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 To be honest I didn’t read the story, but mostly followed for the new mecha designs. I quite like the Inbit redesigns, & the additional Legioss + Tread variants. If the new ride-armors brings to mind some Bubblegum Crisis feeling, this new #12 bike definitely gives it Highway Star vibes. I like it even if it turns out to be non-transformable.

Masked Aviator Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) I chat with a staff of POSE+ and ask him why the scale of Alpha is so huge. He said because they develop the size of Alpha according to the scale of the small armoured cyclone figure in the cockpit. That figure is the same scale of the released small B2FIVE Battler Cyclone, which POSE+ did the design work for B2FIVE.

jenius Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I was working on my B2Five review and it was going to end "C'mon B2Five, give us a matching Alpha!" Then I went to comic con and saw this. You can tell the pilot is a B2Five by the pegs on the wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re cool if you have a lack of space, but can be a bit tough in the torso transformation and parts tend to fly off easy or pop out of place. They’re better for leaving in one mode if you transform it around the rider. They’re actually more fun in bike mode because the rider is highly poseable for the size and the bike is more solid in that mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechapilot77 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Man the pose+ alpha is huge. That's a mospeada collection centerpiece type of toy. It is relatively "reimagined".... A touch more so than sentinel's which are reimagined slightly too but seem to keep the feel of the original designs. The pose+ , at least in these prototype materials shots looks "updated" to me. I was one of those that held onto the evolution toys legioss even while collecting the sentinel's because I wanted a larger representation of that design and I think it's anime ish looks and proportions were nice. They did however lack detailing for a figure that size...these pose+ seems to have addressed that by doing some made up details, but aesthetically seems to work ok. I almost wanna track down a b2five ride armor now. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Gotta commend Pose+ taking a different approach with the Alpha. Instead of having it combine with a Beta (I think we can agree at this size, the chances of Beta happening will be very slim), they combine with a pilot that can also wear a full-fledge transformable Cyclone. Now I wonder if there is space in Fighter to store a Cyclone as well.. What is a bit of downer of that Alpha sculpt, is how small the vertical stabilizers are. The Sentinel ones are already small, but this looks even proportionately tinier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 320mm=12.5 inches, which is about the size I'd actually WANT one of these things The Riobot 1/48 Legioss is awesome, but way to dang small for my hands, it gets me very frustrated with all the small pieces. If it was larger-say 1/24 or 1/32 I'd personally be much happier. I like the size of the Bandai DX 1/48...it feels right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the Riobot for being compact and easy to display, but it's definitely smaller than I'd like. I feel like whatever scale would get it the size of a 1/60 VF-1 would be pretty ideal, but I'm not going to turn down a bigger one.. provided I can afford it.

The aesthetics of the Alpha make me think of the old Robotech RPG illustrations by Long; they have a very American-comic-book style which doesn't suit the mecha. Most likely a 1/32 or 1/24 rendition pulled from the Sentinel 1/48 and then somehow mangled. And that fighter windscreen... What were they thinking?

Rhubarbarian Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Yeah, it reminds me of the hyper-detailed VF-1 statues you see for sale for 600 bucks on BBTS. They're detailed and well-painted, but the aesthetic is a complete mismatch IMO. I am kind of interested in the soldier mode cockpit, but I have a weird hang-up about cockpit orientations in transforming fighters and I like seeing manufacturers do the mechanics of making them functional. Dunno if that's enough to get me over my distaste for the RT brand/HG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they fixated on the idea of an opening chest for the pilot to get in and out, rather than from under the head, and turned the windscreen into a hatch to make it work. I'm not completely against the idea, but I need to see a finished product without all of the rough guesswork. I don't want to judge the overall aesthetic until then, but I do get the same impression, the design has a western-styled look to the detailing. Can't say it really bothers me though, I think the overall look is close enough to the Sentinel design to satisfy my need for a "big" Legioss.. which, until the Sentinel release, I really didn't care about much in the first place, since it always felt like a clunky design.
