magicsp00n Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Mine showed up from Amazon JP today as well. I didn't expect it for another week. Quote
Duymon Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 that iota looks really nice though for some reason I can't help feeling that the green is way too saturated. I kinda prefer the more muted green from some of the older artwork. Quote
MKT Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Quick 5 minutes unboxing, Fighter mode impressions: 1. Tolerances seem unsurprisingly, similar to the red Zeta. No loose wing flap. To unfurl the vertical stabilisers for the first time & avoid breakage, hands need to be partially transformed out of the way. Didn't transform the figure to Soldier yet, but won't be surprised if there are no further tolerance tweaks compared to the Zeta. 2. The head fin, just like the Zeta, is also very pointy and sharp & can cut fingers easily. 3. Yellow figure's joints stay well together, just like Houquet / Fuke. 3. Still not liking the base. Such a drab, almost featureless cheap shiny black plastic.. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 So who does one have to commission to produce a VRML file of a non-transforming Tread attachment for a Sentinel Legioss? 😉 I only ask since there is that chance that Sentinel just might not make Treads at all, in Riobot or Plaiobot forms.

chingu77 Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Nice! although the green isn't as quite as I remembered it... Quote
derex3592 Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Yeeeeeh....that green......just not for me. Looks like a great piece though! Congrats to those who now have all 3! Quote
Mog Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah, based on the pics, it looks like the Toynami greenie was more military/olive-drab green, while Sentinel went for a more bright green. Which is odd. . . considering the Toynami Red Alpha was a bright red while the Sentinel Zeta was a darker red. 🤷♂️ Oh! And Sentinel, please make Houquet red like a rose. 😉 #HouquetRouge Quote
Big s Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 It may have just been odd coloring on the videos I watched, but I remember it being a forest green rather than a drab green, but I’m getting old and I don’t trust my memory as much as used to Quote
Mog Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Bottom line: Toynami had a darker green, but the Aoshima’s green is closer to the green used by Sentinel. On another topic, it’s too bad they didn’t add some different clear pieces to change the head sensors’ colors. Quote

Duymon Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Got my Iota today from the front desk. It was delivered yesterday by Amazon JP via DHL It is what I was expecting and yeah I'm still a lil meh about the green. Gonna have to paint the yellow figure later Sentinel added two pylons for the wings, but outside of being in the content list they are listed nowhere in the instructions. Future stuff in the works? Quote
Mog Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Aren’t those the mounts for the guns or missile launcher? Been awhile since I messed with the Zeta, so honestly unsure. Quote

Mount Mospeada riders to the wings for extra firepower? 😁 Quote

Chronocidal Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Those are new pylons though, and a whole lot larger than the ones that came with the Eta and Zeta. Looks like they can hold a lot more, just from the number of holes. Quote
levzloi Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Finally got all three on the shelf, now if Sentinel will only release a TREAD. Quote

Mog Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 You gentlemen just gotta get those Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours in. The tools and materials aren’t that hard to acquire. And from there, it’s just practice and experience. . . . And being sufficiently annoyed at staring at a hot pink pilot helps too! Quote
magicsp00n Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 The crew is looking good together. (And just barely fit on the Detolf.) Quote
mechaninac Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Finally got around to unboxing and transforming my Iota... never tried with the previous two and they remain is fighter mode; it's a fiddly little beast but between scorchedearthtoys on YouTube and the instructions manual, I was able to all-thumbs my way through it. And you can't argue with the results. I also found that I rather like the green; its nowhere near as saturated and "overly green" in person as pictures make out to be; I still somewhat prefer Toynami's choice of a more militaristic Army Green (looks close to FS34102), but Sentinel's is far more anime-esque; and not owning an old Gaken, or Aoshima, or CMS's, or Evolution version to compare in person, I can't say which looks better color-wise. One thing is for damned sure, the old toynami is a heavy, unwieldy, barely poseable gorilla by comparison. Quote
Mog Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Yeah, I’d prefer to call the Toynami an arthritic horse with glass for bones that can barely hold a pose and will collapse into a brittle heap at the slightest breeze. Quote

Yeah couldn’t agree more, that Beta/TREAD is a beast though, very solid. Edited September 5, 2021 by levzloi Quote
