Man that is so awesome! I'm jealous of not having a talent like that. So awesome looking.

Fair point on the red.  Like I said, if the ET Toys one was like $150 or less, I'd be all over them. 

I had waited and waited and finally got the eta for like $160 before shipping few months ago and now it’s sold out everywhere. I’m glad I got it and love love love how it looks. Too bad I don’t think the red or green will ever drop that low as I imagine the run will be much lower and faster to sell out.

Where did you score the Eta from? The cheapest I saw was 25% off at CD Japan.

Wonderfest today. Maybe some pics of the Evolution Toys Dark Legioss. Hopefully they do the Drone too.

I've decided to try out this facebook thing all the kids are talking about, and what better way than a scoop?

  WOW!!! 

Am I seeing this correctly, a whole new Legioss?

Just amazon jp. I was checking it every day for months. Price finally dipped right before it sold out.

Woohoo! Another Legioss! ET’s title of arguably-best Legioss now seems to be temporary! Looks like Sentinel might have figured out how to fold the feet right finally? Hard to tell from the angle. 

And yay we’ll get yellow and fuke!

That's a helluva scoop, jenius!  

I'm excited we may be getting a new Legioss toy -- and the fighter mode looks excellent -- but the soldier mode is a real disappointment.  The head's huge, the hands are tiny, the intakes are squared-off and splayed out at a weird angle, with an awkwardly wide chest and absurdly skinny torso and thighs.  

Bummer.  

But hell, bring on the Bartley and Borough Superior!  

[SuperHobo]

Now knowing I can get the whole team in 1/12 makes me super thrilled! I've always wanted to see what T-REX could do with a legioss and the results look decent, but need a bit more work. 

Here's some other images found off of twitter:

After the disappointments that were Toynami/Aoshima, CM's and Evo Toys can we all hope that maybe Sentinel gets it right this time? 

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Holy crap-Riobot Legioss. I was secretly hoping Sentinel would make the leap to Legioss fighters as well, but I didn't think it would actually happen.

[woll622]

Anyone know if a release date was listed for the new mospeadas?

I hope so! The curse needs to be broken! 

[Tober]

Great news!

Mixed feelings about the Bartley and Blowsperior, but happy to see them coming. Legioss looks great, just wish it was 1/60 or 48. Hopefully the Tread has been thought out properly too.

Edit: What scale is the Legioss? I thoght it said 1/72 but it says 1/12, which can't be right...

I thought it looked weird from front on too, but looks great from other angles. The comparitively small head of the ET Legioss annoyed me more.

I'd be happy enough to get an updated Sentinel Legioss in the same style as the Sentinel ride armors. 

[no3Ljm]

Hoping this should be next year so I can save more. I'm loving those bikes.  

Wish the Legioss is much bigger. But even so, I'll get this version. I'll rather spent my $$$ with Sentinel on this than EvoToys.

I definitely agree! Wouldn't that be nuts if down the road a Tread is also available!

Let's hope so. And maybe that's the reason why that Legioss is small to begin with. 

 

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Best news ever!!!

Not sold on the proprtions of the Legioss in soldier mode, but it's an early proyotype.

It says "未定" on their plaques  (= not yet fixed, undecided, pending).

The main plaque in the middle (the white one) says "監修中".  This one's a bit harder to translate succinctly (= under [editorial] supervision).  One Japanese site offers the helpful definition of 'supervise' as "to watch a person or activity to make certain that everything is done correctly, safely, etc").  So... shall we go with "undergoing revision"?

[jenius]

I love the proportions but it's clearly a 3d print rapid prototype so the hope will be a prototype that has joints at the next Wonderfest.

I'm told it's about the size of the toynami or CMS so probably 1/48.

Edited July 29, 2018 by jenius

[iKnight]

Definitely one of the best news ever!

Designed by T-Rex and if Shinji Aramaki is still involved then this is as good as it gets!... :-)

[derex3592]

Cool! Maybe THIS can finally replace my Toynami Alpha's! Might be in for the Yellow and Fuke bikes, I skipped the 1st two as I have the Beagles. 

[EmilianoAlfaro]

Best news of the year.

Well according to jenius's post they're similar in size to the Toynami Legioss, so that works for me!

No, the Evolution Toy is 1:48, so if Sentinel's Riobot is about the size of Toynami's it's closer to 1:60 scale.

Negative, ET is 1/32ish. Toynami called there's 1/55, Aoshima called the same thing 1/48, and CM's used 1/48 (all are the same size).

[Tober]

Figma motoslave prototype is up. Don't suppose there's any sign of their MOSPEADA line?

I'm working from Captain America's practical scale, not the unreliable "official" stats.  They're as inconsistent as the toy companies, and just as useless for determining scale.

That's a verifiable 1:48 scale, and that's the Evolution Toy pilot.  I can't think of a more reliable metric than that!  

[no3Ljm]

Found on Twitter. Action Toys Vinyl Legioss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[jenius]

Looks huge! I normally avoid vinyl toys but I may need to make an exception here...

[SuperSenpai]

Wow great news Jenius!

I'm not totally sold on the sculpt for the Riobot Legioss, but if I had to choose between that one and the ET, it's definitely the Riobot for me.  Although I'm not liking the big gap between the hip and upper chest, I do like that it has bulkier proportions than the ET Legioss in soldier mode.  I also like that the feet don't extend as far out in the back in fighter mode.  If this has a more reasonable price than the ET Legioss, I'm definitely in for one.

Loving this announcement. It's really nice to be a fan of Mospeada Ride Armors.
