mechaninac Posted February 9 Posted February 9 1/28 is such an oddball scale but I suppose it would be at home around 1/32 or 1/24 subjects, depending on the pilot's size. I do consider myself officially... intrigued. Quote
Shawn Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I definitely agree with going to a large scale for the Legioss, 1/48 is just too small in my opinion. It needs some ROOM. The 1/28 is close to the original Gakken 1/32 scale which is great. Larger = potentially more durable as they can pack in more material into the important bit, potentially Quote

Larger = potentially more durable as they can pack in more material into the important bit, potentially 1/48 is too small: in building a 1/48 Legioss, it was only as big in soldier mode as a VF-1: At the 1/32 scale, they would be able to do better detail (personally, I would redo the cockpit and put a 1/72 scale fig into the 1/48 myself, but what do I know?) and more convincingly. Some mechs just don't translate well to some scales. Quote
jenius Posted February 10 Posted February 10 1:28 is the B2Five scale so that must be the Pose+. 1/48 isn't that bad, sentinel did a great job with it. Sadly, 1/60 would be too small. Quote
graphic revolt Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Intriguing development! Imagine if they could do a 1/12 scale that would be around 1-1/2 feet tall and all the Sentinel cyclones could be stowed away. Quote

Sadly, 1/60 would be too small. 1/28 would be awesome if done right. Sadly I didn't pick up th b2 five ride armors that would scale. Sentinels 1/48 scale are pretty good and I've hardly had enough time to enjoy them and the tlead isn't even out yet..and we are getting a huge 1/28 legioss? I'm intrigued. Selfishly I've always wonderd what a legioss would look like with a smaller proportioned cockpit such that 1/60 scale would be roughly as large as a Yamato/Arcadia 1/60 VF-1. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted February 11 Posted February 11 wow a 1/28 Tread will be a fortress i want each missile to individually pop out. Quote
twich Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I wonder how much this POSE+ Legioss will be. Based on the previous pictures, it looks quite detailed, hope it isn’t $400+ Twich Quote

manfred17 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I hope Moshow will release someday a high scale, highly detailed and heavy Legioss ! Quote
Duymon Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Imagine Bandai made Mospeada Models and made them as cursed as their Transforming 1/72 VF-1 line 💀 Quote

But then the characters and story would probably end up more like Delta than the original or even the genesis breakers side story. Quote

They do some surprising classics lately, but I think moderoid would beat them to kits, but hmr is an odd possibility. But it’s a long shot since they’ve never touched the franchise Quote
IronRaptor Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I think the 1/28 Legioss is meant to be in scale with those small transforming cyclones Toynami made. Quote

m0n5t3r Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) Finally secured my preorders for the Riobot Tread and 2 x Legioss ETA reissue from a local shop. Seeing as the preorder deadline is until Mar. 6, I wasn't in too much of a hurry. Came out to around $625 for the 3 with a $75 downpayment. This is gonna be a long wait... Edited February 18 by m0n5t3r Quote
Mog Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Considering how long ago the prototype was first shown, it’s already been a long wait. But the end of summer (when these will be initially released) will be here before we know it. Quote
roboemo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2118420/Stories_from_Sol_The_GunDog/ Just found an interesting anime space military Visual Novel game. Now part of me wish Mospeada should have its own visual novel...maybe like flashback of a soldier in present time or a desk clerk looking through testimonies (mostly implying the "game over" as deceased soldiers). Maybe OFFICIAL art of female pilots in Mars Base (complete with jumpsuit). Edited February 20 by roboemo Quote
Shawn Posted Monday at 05:25 PM Posted Monday at 05:25 PM We won't be turning this into a 'check out this auction' thread, I swear, but check out this auction...I think it warrants a break from the unwritten rule https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c1174559450 Could this be the original painting by Suzuki? Its incredibly hard to see from the pictures. The sharp border seems odd, but guess there is something called 'tape' to get a sharp line like that, The only other orig full canvas drawings I know about were from Takani, but they went to the edge https://www.macrossworld.com/the-ultimate-yoshiyuki-takani-macross-collection/ Wondering what you guys think. The exchange rate brings it 'down' (LOL) to just $2000 USD Always loved this picture, it was also used for the Robotech promo posters from 1985 I believe it was created for this mini-mag Quote
Shawn Posted Monday at 07:30 PM Posted Monday at 07:30 PM I hope the seller posts some higher quality pics, especially for a high dollar item like that. Quote
Chas Posted Monday at 09:46 PM Posted Monday at 09:46 PM If the date he gives is correct it was produced before the show premiered. Machine translation gives me this for the description in the listing: Original painting "Armored Genesis Mospida" B2 size (approx. 72cm×51cm) The TV anime "Armored Genesis Mospida" was aired from October 1983 (Showa 58) to March 1984. On the back of this original drawing, there is a date of August 14, 1983 (Showa 58), and a handwriting of "Hankou of Artmic Co., Ltd.", "Toshimitsu Suzuki of Artmic", and "Mr. Imai Kagaku". When I looked it up on the Internet, I found the following website. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted Monday at 10:30 PM Posted Monday at 10:30 PM it's the monolisa of mospeada Quote
MechTech Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Why isn't that in a frame or at least a bag! It's looking pretty worse for wear too. It's IS COOL though! - MT Quote

Assuming it's an original, the price isn't high. That said, it definitely needs higher resolution pics. Hand-rendered illustrations have brush strokes and other tell-tale signs of production which I can't discern with this piece. If anything, the reflection makes it look like some sort of laminated print. While the back looks like an illustration board, it's a bit too clean for something from the early 80s and, as mentioned above, why isn't it framed, if only to avoid damage? Also, there are no crop marks, which would be standard for original artwork for this era. Quote

As though in a few spots paint leaked under the tape that may have been there. Other than that I can’t really see anything else from this quality of picture to say this is the real deal. Quote
Chas Posted Tuesday at 12:26 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:26 PM From further down in the description the translation reads: ( bold italic emphasis is mine) In the original drawing, "ARTMIC" is written on the brick. It is said that the picture is not printed because it is uneven with ink, but since we are amateurs, please check the actual product or ask a question. We obtained it from the Kanto region in 2001. I don't know now whether the person is an artmic person or an Imai science person, so there is no way to confirm whether the painting was drawn by Toshimitsu Suzuki. Maybe someone will ask for close- up pics of the areas with 'uneven ink'? Quote
rematron Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM It does look like there is color bleeding into the edges on a few spots. The reflected area looks like a brush stroke to me because of the uneven parallel lines in one direction. It could be that it was varnished to protect the medium form smudging. Awesome if it's the real deal. Quote
sh9000 Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM Looks like an illustration done on illustration board and not a print. I've kept some of mine from the early 90s in a portfolio and they age over time the same way. I recognized the masking tape around the board for the standard white border. There is a coating or fixative over the artwork. Quote
Shawn Posted Tuesday at 11:38 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:38 PM Looks like there is a bidder, so it will be sold. B2 size as well...that would be a very nice addition to any collection. Can I crowd-fund $2k for a painting real quick? looking through my poster collection, they took elements from it to create another variant too Quote
