This is my first Moshow Toys. Considering the size of the figure, the weight of the figure, the materials of the figure, the magnetic base , the lighting effects, if it were produced by a Japanese brand (e.g. comparing to Flame Toys' Kuro Kara Kuri series), I speculate it would cost at least US$350? I notice China's mecha toys is catching up. Impressed me most is the China price!

Yes, I have to push very hard to plug in and remove both little ball pegs in armor mode. Fortunately the plastic of the balls seems very solid.
-
I've just assembled the motorcycle parts. This little ball joint may be the most delicate part I come across in this toy yet. I dare not to rotate this little ball joint. It's quite thin and short. Most joints are quite tight. Also, I find my simplified Chinese version manual is wrong in this step. I don't know if the English version is the same. The pegs should be put in different holes.

The upside is a better articulation. That's a trade off? Not bad. Especially the articulation of the arms.
-
I always enjoy your comprehesive reviews. Houquet is not your top priority? I see.

For this Mospeada series, Sentinel always has issues in their 1st release. They only fix these issues in later releases. So if they release a new Tread series in the future, I will wait and see....

My Stick's both rings were cracked by itself. For the 4th Mospeada Rider Bartley, I notice those gray plastic parts material were changed. The glossiness is different. Anybody know what those new and old plastic was called? ABS? The new one is much stronger? Among 4 Riders' release, Bartley's QC is the best. There were no issues at all. It is reasonable to expect Sentinel will use the same new plastic masterial in those coming reissue versions? If so, I will preorder one more Stick for spare, and surprisingly the PO price is even lower than the 1st issue. By the way, Jenius why you didn't do a review on Bartley?

I am looking forward to your B2FIVE review. There is not much review on Youtube about that small cyclone series. You are right, I didn't notice the pegs on the wrist.
-
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.

Seems not. But Sentinel is a Japan and Hong Kong joint-venture company. Designs are completely by Japan. Hong Kong involves in manufacture. Slight digression: we get 6 months of "maintenance service" here if we buy from their official store.
-
19:30. Preview of Sentinel new products in Hong Kong show, which will open tomorrow. No Mospeada products yet.

Thanks Mechaninac. I will see if I can handle it or not. I also have another idea to reinforce the connection: to glue a thin stainless steel “plate” under the two separated parts. Such plate may be customed from some photo-etched parts. The difficulty is that it is a curved surface, as you can see from above pictures. So may be I need to glue a small portion of metal rod with appropriate curvature? I don’t know.

Check the barcode on the boxes. They are different.
-
Thank you Captain. Thank you Mechaninac. Sounds very technical for me. I will try to figure it out how to do it.

Hi, Captain america and any modeling experts in here, I need your advice. Do you think it is appropiate to fix the cracks by filling the gap with Tamiya Putty? Is it strong enough to hold up the stress? Which type of Tamiya Putty will you recommend? Or any other way of fixing will you recommend? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

I hope so. Yes, that’s the simplest solution for them.
-
That "plastic ring" cannot be dismantled. Unless someone customs a part that could hold the two metal parts together and install it in place.
-
Sentinel still uses plastic to connect the two metal parts. I'm afraid the cracking issue will persist. I wonder why they don't switch the material to metal.

Agree. By past experience, Sentinel's Mospeada items usually displayed in Japan's toy show only. I don't know why. They never displayed mospeada prototypes in Hong Kong's any toy shows before.
-
Seems no progress at all, same grey prototypes w/ no coloring, since last display on Feburary 2020. Nine months by now.
-
Will you do a review of this Legioss?
-
The 1st release should be sold out long ago. I wonder why TFSource is still in stock. It is a good deal anyway.
-
Yes. This is the 1st issue. Be careful when you transform it into armour-mode. You better first put something like adhesive tape in the belly of the figure before putting the bike on the body. Otherwise the metal rod of the bike might leave a stress mark or even scratch the belly. This was my lesson. I heard Sentinel fixed this issue in their 2nd release by fine tuning something.
