Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Let me repeat it, thank you for sharing Shawn!! Great find!!! Quote
Mog Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Basically, connecting the Sentinel Legioss with the Toynami Beta. Hoping we would see the full colored prototype of the Sentinel version of the Tread. Quote

If someone designed and 3D printed a version of this connector/s that would fit and lock the Sentinel Riobot Legioss in place onto the Aoshima Tread would be great to see.

It is noted as Diver in the actual Art) Note the extra large cannons and the early helmet designs n the Ride-Armor, and the rounded heels and rectangular intakes on the Legioss. These are a right about the time of the awesome set released by Roger Harkavy in the "Imai Files" collection. https://www.flickr.com/photos/rogerharkavy/albums/72157623041361265/ Example of little differences-notice the earlier B&W version (feb) vs the awesome colorized from Roger (march) I am absolutely giddy excited to see versions of the MOSPEADA that I've never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing this! Now, if I can someday come across the sidecar version mentioned in the Imai files... Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Here's some clearer photos, @MKT. I'm on the fence about this figure since I'm not a big fan of the design. The Sentinel designs is already a big leap for me. But this one felt it's too much. Anyways, for some reason, I somehow prefer the Gundam-is design they showed during the initial announcement. Probably because of the feet and blocky design? Quote
Alex GS Posted April 24 Posted April 24 this specs mention here are some of the reasons why Im so excited for this release, alongside is MOSHOW is creating it, I got myself a brand new PROGENITOR EFFECT Wucheng a while back and I was blown away by the quality of it. Quote
Mog Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Curious as to how the updated bike mode looks. . . . But everyone knows what I’m waiting to see. Hoping to see colored prototype pics of the burly Tread bastard. Quote

Probably because of the feet and blocky design? Great find on the higher reso pics. Initially I wasn’t sure if the colours were photoshopped onto their grey prototype (like what KC usually do), but on my tiny phone screen now, it looks like the latest colour images of the Cyclone are wholly rendered. I’m quite the opposite, I like this latest redesign much better than their initial images. Still find some surfaces are over-designed, but the overall proportions look better to my eyes. One major difference are the wheels - they aren’t so huge now. Quote
Axelay Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Wow. That thing looks like it's got some beef. Really want to see the cycle mode now. Quote
Robin-11 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Quick update from Italy. Crunchyroll just uploaded the entire Genesis Climber Mospeada series here in my country. It's subbed not dubbed but it doesn't really make a difference to me. Hopefully this is a good sign that we will be getting soon all the other Macross shows and eventually southern cross too. Fingers crossed. Quote
RavenHawk Posted April 26 Posted April 26 As for the Moshow stuff, it still just looks to me (both original rendition and slightly more streamlined one) like they're trying to take Sentinel's design and tack on as many bigger guns and more more more more as they can. I'm still going to buy it, and hopefully love it, but it looks like it could use some paring down. Quote
Mog Posted April 26 Posted April 26 At least, they got rid of the silly head-fins. I probably won’t get this, but as I said before: I’m curious to see what the updated bike mode looks like. Quote

MechTech Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Thanks for posting! They made that Valk with shooting fists!? I think they got their series confused!? Talk about shooting someone "the bird"🤣 - MT Quote

And this is an officially licensed toy? Quote

Maybe they'll make a "Shogun" Zentradi Soldier to re-enact those awesome battles shown on the TV episodes where Hikaru shoots his fist missile...those were always the best episodes!

MechTech Posted May 3 Posted May 3 ...And over $300 for that awkward of a sculpt AND wheels on the feet!? I get what Jenius said and where they're maybe coming from, but if I was a little kid and got this, I'd be singing the Sesame Street song "Which one of these is not like the other...?" At that cost point too! Wait, I already said that😁 Maybe I'm just to much of a realist - as much as I like "campy" things. - MT Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) Things like this make me very happy I grew up with model kits and LEGOs, and have absolutely no nostalgia whatsoever for non-functional overpriced knicknacks. Edited May 3 by Chronocidal Quote

Then I realized you were talking about the above toy which I thought was only maybe $15-20 and I thought I was being generous with that estimation. What drugs were they taking and in what vast quantities? Quote
MKT Posted May 4 Posted May 4 The Shogun Warriors VF-1 is obviously a nostalgia bait for adult collectors haha.. Not for me too, but I understand why some would get it.

It’s a lot of plastic, but it’s a derpy simple design that should be no more than $50 tops Quote

There's trying to get customers with money to burn and then there's this... $300 could get you something actually good like a DX VF-1 or something. Well, if there are suckers that are actually paying $380 for these things, good on Toynami for finding people to bilk. 😁 Quote
Mog Posted May 4 Posted May 4 ^^Or for about half that $380 price, you could get a far superior Legioss or Ride Armor (assuming the USD to Yen exchange rate is still low)! Quote
sjoebarry Posted May 5 Posted May 5 That can’t be the real price can it? That’s gotta be a typo. Quote
jenius Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Vinyl collectors get fleeced... I'll never understand it. It's like the hardest core niche of the fandom. Quote
