Black Valkyrie Posted yesterday at 07:13 AM Posted yesterday at 07:13 AM Maybe Takara-Tomy will do a TF-Mospeada crossover. Quote

I don't properly remember how diver mode generally works, but I did take a good spread of fighter and bot mode pics. Honestly, these are so close in fighter that's hilarious. Sentinel is 8.5 inches long with a 6.4 inch wingspan. The Tomy is 8.4 inches long, with a 6.1 inch wingspan, though you could say the Tomy cheats on the length a little by not collapsing the feet quite as far. Either way, they're just really close. Height-wise, the Sentinel grows more, so it comes out about an inch taller overall, closer to 7 inches than the Tomy's roughly 6 inch height. Overall? The comparison I was expecting was something like a DX to an HMR.. but I think that's actually underselling both of them in a couple of ways. The Sentinel feels incredibly over-engineered, but it pulls off the design amazingly, in ways no one had tried before. The Tomy version just feels like someone decided to take more creative liscence with the transformation, and then asked "How can we do this for half the price?" And I do not mean the Tomy feels cheap by that. It's obviously simpler, but compared with the complexity of the Sentinel, it's also a lot more fun to mess with. The Sentinel feels like a (very small) high-end collectible. The Tomy just feels like someone wanted something fun to mess with in the same scale, and at a much more reasonable price. I'd say they succeeded in that. It's really enjoyable to transform, I just yanked it out of the package without even looking at the instructions, and was posing it in a couple of minutes. It just feels like it could use a little paint on things like the landing gear (which do give the chest ground clearance, by the way). Sadly one of my copies also came missing the yellow end-cap on the right arm, so I'm going to have to try and navigate HLJ's customer service about that one. It's not a complex part, so maybe something I could also scratch up a copy of, but if these get released stateside, I might try service on that end. Honestly, I'm kind of tempted to pick up more of these guys, they're just very fun. I went and ordered a second copy of the black one when the reviews started hitting, but the green was sold out.

Honestly, I'm kind of tempted to pick up more of these guys, they're just very fun. I went and ordered a second copy of the back one when the reviews started hitting, but the green was sold out. I haven't gotten mine yet (still in Japan when I checked tracking yesterday), but your description is quite apt compared to the several vid reviews I've seen thus far. Toyrise was going for a simplified, playable approach to the Legioss while still producing a faithful rendition of it and in that they succeeded. My main niggle remains the limited arc of motion for the font part of the feet, and the open forearms to a lesser degree. I figure some of these TF third parties might be able to address that as they do with so many TF toys. Small shame that all the little doors don't open on the legs to show the rockets, but it's a small sacrifice. The Sentinel does it brilliantly, and the Pose+ will, too, so I'm content with my high-end toys featuring all the bells and whistles while the Toyrise does what it was meant to do: be a fun toy first and foremost. I'm looking forward to getting my copy and I'm glad I decided to get the Omega, as the design appeals to me, I like the colors, and it'll be great to have a Legioss that's easier to transform and handle than the more complex and fragile-feeling Sentinel. 20 hours ago, Black Valkyrie said: Maybe Takara-Tomy will do a TF-Mospeada crossover. The Toyrise is about the size of a leader class Transformer, so technically, since these first three Toyrise versions are non-canon, one could incorporate them into their Transformers collection if they so desired. Slap a faction symbol on there and make up your own head-canon. Quote
AbdnAllHope Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I've found the legs are much easier to deal with if you open things up a bit. Pivoting the smaller nose wing part first allows you to pivot the chest, wings, and arms up out of the way. Quote

Seems a fairly straightforward toy to transform, although it does have some locks, like the crotch vent, that necessitate a certain order of operations so as not to break it. That said, hints like this are helpful. Quote
