Seriously, I was surprised to see how low the price is. But no, still not for me. 8 hours ago, MKT said: Hmm I guess the wheels are still too low at the shoulders. And the face sculpt looks totally off lol. But at this price, I’ll likely overlook it. Quite a surprise, because from the first rendered images couple of years ago, they stated the targeted estimated price was USD 220-250. I wonder if HG gave some significant discount on licensing fee or something. 2 hours ago, enphily said: Good price but the figure still ugly Yes the many faces and body types of Stig/Stick/Scott. Compliments to jenius for the photo comparison. I like this new figure as it reminds me a lot of the Gakken toy which also did not have the best facial sculpt, but still a great toy for the ages.

cksh Posted September 7 Posted September 7 My favorite figure. I couldn't resist when I saw the BBTS advertisement. Surprised at the price for something that size. We'll see about quality. I missed out on a lot of previous toy line releases and only have some sentinels. Quote
sjoebarry Posted September 7 Posted September 7 4 hours ago, enphily said: Good price but the figure still ugly I pretty much agree. I liked the Riobot versions enough to grab those but this one…… not feeling it. Maybe those Riobots just filled a void for me. And I guess I also don’t feel the need for any more interpretations of the original Ride Armors Quote
sjoebarry Posted September 7 Posted September 7 2 hours ago, shazam said: I like this new figure as it reminds me a lot of the Gakken toy Gakken is 19.7cm. This new versions rider is showing as 25cm, and 29cm in the armor. That’s pretty big. That’s almost the height size of the SV-51 in battroid. Will be an imposing shelf stealer Quote
jenius Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Those measurements are wrong. I haven't found accurate ones though. It was much smaller than the pose+ Alpha, not bigger than it. My guess is the same as the Gakken or maybe someone typed 29 when they meant 19. Quote
Big s Posted September 7 Posted September 7 I really didn’t like the pumpkin heads on the other ones and the odd changes made to modernize them, but strangely these new ones being totally blasphemous in their IronGundamspeada Man look is awkwardly likable. They went so far beyond a basic redesign that if these were for an unrelated franchise, I’d totally be into them. Quote

Mommar Posted September 7 Posted September 7 I think it's cool looking. I like the color/panel separation. Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Bigger images from MoShowToys. Excuse the weird logo that accompanies it. Quote

Alex GS Posted September 11 Posted September 11 really excited for this cyclone / mospeada(literally is because Moshow creating it), some months ago I got one of the reissues from Sentinel Mospeada Ray and really got very very disappointed , sorry won't go into detail why is that don't want to cause havoc here .

no3Ljm Posted September 12 Posted September 12 (edited) 3 hours ago, jenius said: Any other place list it yet? Gundamit has theirs since MoShow announced this. Though there's no price listing yet only deposit amount of $10. Toynami Shop is also accepting order with $18 deposit for now. Kicks Generation Toys has it for $175. They're based in Seattle, WA. Not sure why Crunchyroll hasn't posted theirs yet. Edited September 12 by no3Ljm Quote
MKT Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) 3D rendered video, but the bigger issue and disappointingly, its a partsformer! Really didn't see that coming, and feel quite blindsided by it. Edited September 13 by MKT Quote

Really didn't see that coming, and feel quite blindsided by it. That's really disappointing. It probably doesn't actually matter that much. As much as I LOVE the Sentinel figures, I just use them as display pieces. I think that the B2Five figures can be considered legitimate toys (and partsformers), but other than them, I don't think a single collectible that I've purchased has been anything but a display piece since the Yamato BGC Motoslaves... but still disappointing. Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Even though I'm not going to get one, and saying something about it now is pointless. But seeing that it's a partsformer is kind of a let down for that size. Quote
jenius Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Oh goodness, I knew it would have some parts forming but that is a lot. Quote
Grey728 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 After some breakages and cracks with Sentinel and my old Gakken Mospeada, I think I'm ok with the parts forming. I just want a larger scale version of what I have now at a reasonable price. The parts forming also allows for better articulation so maybe I can pose it and make it look natural and/or stylized. Also, after dealing with many third party masterpiece scale transformers, I don't want to have to deal with using tools to transform and enjoy my toy at this point in my life. Quote
Masked Aviator Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) The upside is a better articulation. That's a trade off? Not bad. Especially the articulation of the arms. Edited September 13 by Masked Aviator Quote

Alex GS Posted September 14 Posted September 14 well at least all the parts seems like are coming from the bike, but yeah I think like everyone is saying that's why it has that price point and as well kind of surprisingly disappointing, probably this is why Moshow took so long to open up the POs for it, they were trying to figure it out how to create a perfect transformation but it seems they couldn't, I just hope it still stays true to the Moshow great quality and heft that they are known for. Quote
MKT Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Here we have the biggest Cyclone / Ride-Armor ever made, has all sorts of added surface details to take advantage of the size, and it's a complete parts-former that would be much more acceptable in tiny renditions like the B2 Fives. I get that it now frees up articulation, but I wonder if they could have at least make those forearm armor & hip pieces connected with option to make them detachable for added articulation, something like the DX VF-1 waist bar. It can certainly be engineered for this size. Knowing myself, I'll probably get it eventually for the novelty factor given the price vs size & Moshow's quality factor. It's just leaving a bit of sour taste at the moment, and I'll wait a bit for it to go away lol. Looking closer at the size now, the question mark now is whether it is really 1/10 as what has been bandied about previously or if the published 29cm total height is correct. Either one is true but it can't be 1/10 and 29cm at same time. Quote

Either one is true but it can't be 1/10 and 29cm at same time. If the given measurement on their description is accurate where the rider is at 25cm, and in Ride-Armor form at 29cm, the rider scaling would be somewhere at 1/7.3 and not 1/10. Quote
enphily Posted September 14 Posted September 14 I don't mind partsforming in mospeada's case, i'd love Sentinel mospeadas even more if they do would be partsformers with better articulation and stiffer joints Moshow's variant still bad for my taste because of it's design Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Not a fan of parts formers, going to pass Quote

A properly proportioned MOSPEADA rider is completely feasible, and I proved it. Great looking figure of Scott. Parts forming vs perfect transformation. I don't mind the parts forming gimmick of this toy. It would of been nice if the Cyclone was fully transformable to fit onto the rider. There is nothing worse than having a perfect transformation toy if it takes you forever to transform the thing. You fight with every twist and turn of moving pieces only to find the end product won't fit together as per instructions. Parts that break under normal usage while transforming the figure. Friction joints that don't lock into place and flop around. There are so many reasons why I don't collect transformable toys including Macross toys as much as I used too. These toys may look great, but they are no joy to handle. Edited September 14 by shazam Quote
graphic revolt Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Well that's off my wish list. Toynami got a hold of 3D printer and never bothered with the engineering dev on their future product, so I guess I'll have to thank Crunchyroll for assembling that Apple-like promo demo non-fomo! Quote
