jeniusornome Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Well guys, however you want to justify it, to me it’s $250 for a 6 inch toy. A couple of extra features making a small toy even more delicate and likely to break does not, to me, translate to “worth more than a huge VF-1 toy.” like I said though, I’m looking forward to pictures.

easnoddy Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 There's something "off" about it in soldier, but the fighter and diver modes are pretty. I guess this is our first legioss built for fighter which has compromises for soldier. Quote
enphily Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Someone "combined" new legioss with CM's Tread, looks good. I'm sure 2 or 3 years later we will get good Tread for it too Quote

Convectuoso Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I wonder how it looks "combined" to the Toynami/Aoshima Tread Quote

I guess this is our first legioss built for fighter which has compromises for soldier. It's a redesign. The legs don't tuck underneath the intake pecs like the original design does. That's not to accommodate fighter mode, that's how the redesign was done. Quote
Mommar Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 That CMs Tread looks kind of undersized next to the Sentinel too. Quote
Mommar Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 For some reason my two are showing shipping June 29th from Amazon Japan. Quote

My AJ doesn't have a shipping date, but does have an approximate arrival date of Jul 3 thru 6 which reconciles with that shipping date if shipped via DHL. Apparently when this thing got announced I was preorder happy. I'd forgotten about orders I have with AmiAmi (shipped last night/this AM via DHL) and Hobby Search (stuck until EMS resumes). -b. Quote
Ridden001 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 There’s one on bbts now, I cancelled mine, I thought it would be larger. Quote

M'Kyuun Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I PO'ed mine through TFSource, it's still sitting unpaid in my stack, and I've yet to hear anything from them. Did anyone else here order through them, and if so, have you been contacted? Quote

enphily Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) omg that's so smart, i thought they do something like this when i looked at prototypes again and again and i was right, whohoo Edited June 21, 2020 by enphily Quote

sqidd Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 If you got extras by mistake (I think a few people mentioned they did) I'd like to pick up a second. PM me if you want to get rid of one. Thanks! Quote

Looking at the pics, I have to say the Sentinel version is sooooo much better when it comes to everything compared with Toynami - details, proportion, markings, even colouring. I'm seriously considering picking up a second copy now. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 That cockpit transition is brilliant. Such a beautiful figure. I thought it'd be slightly bigger than it is, in comparison to the Toynami, but , y'know, that's a perfect size. I'll be able to make room a little easier in my already crowded Detolf. So excited to get this! Quote
Mog Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 1 hour ago, enphily said: comparison with toynami/aoshima by 高田べん@BenTakada It really shows how compact they got the exhaust thrusters/feet for fighter mode. Same thing for Armo-Soldier mode with the nose cone not coming down so low. The only other thing I’d like confirmed is if the hips can tilt into an honest to goodness A stance. If it can pull that off and assuming all the joints are solid, we may finally have a worthy successor. Quote

It looks like there are two screws around the ankle joint so maybe you can tighten those. That and the main just is a ball joint so I can imagine you can add some super glue or varnish in there to make it tighter. Quote
Mog Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I’d still like to see a dead-on, straight on, flat shot of the A stance. All the pics shown so far are all at an angle. Not a deal-breaker by any means. . . I’m still in for a red, once it goes up for preorder. Quote

jenius Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Crazy to imagine this thing, with all its amazing engineering and some metal in the construction... costs about the same as the comparatively awful Evolution Toy Legioss. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 It DOES look amazing, I gotta say! Everything I could want in a Legioss really. Bike and mini fig need paint though! That would erk me on a $250 toy, but whatever. Happy for those who landed one! Will be eagerly awaiting @jenius's review! Quote
