al0324 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I just picked up a green toynami alpha at a gamestop today. I was really hyped about getting one, but now that i got one, i think they're "ok." it's bulkiness really didn't lend to any great poses. I was just curious if anyone else had picked one up...

madmacks Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 you're talking about the poseables right? please dont give me a heart attack like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 The only Alpha I'm probably going to pick up (if it DOESN'T have that neon blueish color) is the MPC a lot of us are waiting for. BTW....how much was Gamestop selling their Alpha Poseable's for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 i got my green metallic one at gamestop for $15. i the regular ones from valk-exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I was at Gamestop last night seriously debating on wether or not to get one. I decided to wait for the MPC and bought a Stephen Hawking figure instead. B) The Alphas were $13.99 BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I may get one. Where do they sell the normal ones? It's a relatively heavy ieam, and the cost of shippin just would be pointless on sush an inexpensive figure. I think I may get one of the green ones if I find them, I like that color the best on the Legioss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 naw i skipped these. too many bigger and better toys to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have a full set. They are 10 times better than the craptacular VF-1 super un-poseables. If you are Mospeada fan then these guys are a nice addition to your collection. For the record they are not that heavy and standard USPS shipping on them should be less than 6 bucks... anyone charging you more than that is adding weight to the package.

NERV Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 i got one, its alright but as previously stated it cant pose that well, i do think it was worth the money tho as it still makes a great display piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I got the set and I grabbed the Green Metallic one. Great figures if you are into Mospeada! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladic Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Yeah, I also picked up the Green metallic one last weekend, it's very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyron Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have the whole set. Haven't seen the matallic green one yet. I do have the metallic blue and red ones. I really like the Alphas. A good amount of joints and can get in great poses. Well worth the $14 they cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 eh, I saw these and it didn't really make me want to jump at it. I think I'll pass on these and just wait for the alpha MPC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imode Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I picked up one too. I bought a Rook regular, and I sword it would be my only one, but it's kinda addicting. I see it there, and I pick it up, make some weird gay looking pose and put it back down again. I can't stop myself from changing the pose everytime I see it. I'm a little tempted to get the metallic shadow fighter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justvinnie Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I see that they did not use the proper sculpt for the Dark Legioss. vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 2 complete sets of normal versions, one metallic Rook and Lancer, metallic Scott on the way. Just waiting on RT.com and ToyFare to hurry up and offer their respective exclusives. Cyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Leader Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I have the Stig/Scott regular figure and the green metallic Yellow/Lancer figures so far. Will be getting the full regular poseable set along with the metallic blue Stig/Scott and red metallic Houquet/Rook figures from the VE in just a few more days. So far, I like this figure. It should be remembered that the Legioss is blockier then the Valkyrie from the get go, so thus its figure is a little blocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 For anyone who has the metallic versions, is the paint job better than the normal ones? - ie, crisper lines and less over/under spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 For anyone who has the metallic versions, is the paint job better than the normal ones? - ie, crisper lines and less over/under spray? IMO about the same. Cyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amptor Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 so.... where can I see pictures of the masterpiece edition? I plan on buying one of those because I doubt the original company (I forgot the name) will reissue it. Original molds probably were destroyed :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all 4 regular and the Metallic Green one. The Metallic ones have more weathering effects and overall better paint job than the regular ones. Well with mine anyway.

rocco_77 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Got the Blue, Red, and Green ones... still waiting on RT.com to ship the Shadow... I love them... And I find them to be very poseable. The paint job on the metallic was well done too with great weathering I thought. Worth the $15 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know the that Simpsons figure was out already. I should get out of the house more often and stop watching my Animeigo Macross DVD's over and over. ~G25 BTW I'd get one of the Legioss MPC's if Gamestop/Funcoland stocked up on them.

Anubis Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I'll wait and see how the MPC's turn out. If they disappoint then I will get a superposable or two. But so far they seem good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barpharanges Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Saw all four of the non-metallic versions today for $19.99CDN, but passed them up. I was wanting a Shadow/Dark version for its weapon, but I would need to resculpt the shoulders and clean up some messy joints on the thighs to make the toy look "right". I'll wait for a sale. By the way, is it true the Shadow has only 3 interchangeable hands rather than the advertised 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
