Totoro242 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Does anyone know what book or magazine this is from? Thanks. Hobby Japan, October 2007 I believe. Quote
RavenHawk Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 Hobby Japan, October 2007 I believe. Cool, thank you. Now I'll have to see if I can find a back issue anywhere. And a translation. Quote
kamikaze_kamujin Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 That upgraded Legioss is really cool Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) And the Tread is not a Tread, it's a Dread. I'd pay to have both made by CMs, as long as they friggen make a better connection. Of course i'd prefer a decent Gosu or that 'updated' Gosu show 2nd page. Gosu is just as sexy as the legioss imo. Edited January 6, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
RavenHawk Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 I would LOVE to see more of this updated Legioss and the Dread 2, and toys of it would be amazing for the collection! Quote
Phyrox Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Cool, thank you. Now I'll have to see if I can find a back issue anywhere. And a translation. search the forums, when it first came out there was a thread and a summary translation I think. Nothing too exciting I'm afraid, just a one-off illustration for the magazine to accompany pics of some then-new Mospeada products if I remember. edit: here was the message, written by member "Save" "Well I picked up the issue and got it translated and it says nothing about a new series. It's just a small write up on Hideki Kakinuma's professional history. The sketches of the mecha are just to explain black and white stripes and the history behind them. Basically how in World War 2　(the article mentions Normandy) these stripes where used to identify allied ships, and that the idea was brought to Mospeada. The section on the Inbit basically says that none of the sponsors of the original Mospeada series gave any guidelines on the enemy designs so Hideki and team had free reign on what the Inbit came to be. So they chose the ugly, creepy insect crab without having to make changes by the sponsors. The new Hobby Japan issue cover more on the reissued kits, the new toy lines, and a few pages of Mospeada line art that we have all seen before." Edited January 6, 2009 by Phyrox Quote

Sounds like basically similar info to what is in the booklet that came with the MOSPEADA DVDs. I was hoping for more info on the designer's (Hideki Kakinuma?) ideas for an updated MOSPEADA show.

I remembered an earlier conversation, but was having trouble finding it. Seemed like, at the time, I was in the minority for people that actually liked the new designs. Thanks for the links. Much appreciated. Quote
