Briareos Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) Recent trip to Volks Akihabara. No3LjM had previously posted pictures of the same display so I'm posting different angles. Edited January 8 by Briareos Quote
electric indigo Posted January 15 Posted January 15 There seems to be a new 1/100 Legioss around, to be produced by Experten. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) Ok, that is what I've been wanting to see out of the Legioss for forever: giving it proportions and styling that makes it look like it could actually operate as an aircraft. Granted, there's no way those proportions would transform into any sort of functional mech, at least not without modifying the legs into something closer to the Sentinel design, but I'd love to see how close you could get to that aircraft mode before diver and soldier began to become unrecognizable. Scale-wise, 1/100 would normally be stupidly tiny for a Legioss, but the proportions of that model are completely different. Based on the cockpit, it looks like it would be around the size of an HMR VF-1. The overall layout makes me think of a delta-winged F-18. But yeah.. being Experten means you better hope for lots of photos. Reverse-engineering that concept image into a working model is probably more likely than getting a physical copy for yourself.

electric indigo Posted January 15 Posted January 15 The F-18 is indeed where he started. Here are some more posts of the process: Quote

rsvictor1976 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) This thing is massive! I love the magnet base. It’s pretty sturdy. I haven’t transformed it but I did find one issue with my unit. I’m not sure if it’s just on mine but the forearm missiles/armor doesn’t line up when in motorcycle mode. I didn’t see any indication that in could be rotated either. I need to play around with it some more. Edited January 18 by rsvictor1976 Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Also some of the pictures in the manual didn’t make sense. Like this one shows to attach the thigh armor on the rear peg but doing so would of misaligned the entire piece with the wheel and the other side. This one says to pull down the peg in front of the engine when in reality, the peg pulls up. Edited January 18 by rsvictor1976 Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) Okay the manual is pretty useless when it comes to instructions on transforming the ride armor. The pictures are just really bad and have the worst angles. I had to look at a YouTube video to figure it out. I’m sure @jenius will make a better transformation guide. Despite what the few reviews I’ve seen says, I haven’t been able to stand the unit on its own and have to use the magnetic base. Edited January 18 by rsvictor1976 Quote
jenius Posted January 18 Posted January 18 That's a lot of ride armor! Thanks for sharing the experience so far. Quote

rsvictor1976 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) The real magic is the stand... In case you’re wondering, the base takes up an entire Detolf shelf. Edited January 18 by rsvictor1976 Quote

Masked Aviator Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) I've just assembled the motorcycle parts. This little ball joint may be the most delicate part I come across in this toy yet. I dare not to rotate this little ball joint. It's quite thin and short. Most joints are quite tight. Also, I find my simplified Chinese version manual is wrong in this step. I don't know if the English version is the same. The pegs should be put in different holes. Edited January 27 by Masked Aviator Quote

I am eagerly waiting for Jenius's detail review and transformation guide. The English version is the same. Also the ball joint was even scarier attaching it to the figure in power armor mode. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted January 25 Posted January 25 i checked my amazon pre-orders today of the tread and legioss and noticed pre-orders are no longer available on Amazon. glad i got the low prices locked in before they closed. Quote

Fortunately the plastic of the balls seems very solid. Edited January 31 by Masked Aviator Quote

manfred17 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 (edited) This bad boy is really heavy. Color scheme is what I like (soft colors and not too punchy). Nice details, lots of possible movements, legs can also swivel. My only disappointment is that the front boosters are using a single peg, to connect to the front wheel. 2 pegs (or any other alternatives) would be better. So these 2 front boosters can wobble and are not steady. Edited January 30 by manfred17 Quote
jenius Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Yeah, i just pulled mine out of the box to look at it for a minute and it's beefy... Makes a good impression. Quote
Masked Aviator Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) This is my first Moshow Toys. Considering the size of the figure, the weight of the figure, the materials of the figure, the magnetic base , the lighting effects, if it were produced by a Japanese brand (e.g. comparing to Flame Toys' Kuro Kara Kuri series), I speculate it would cost at least US$350? I notice China's mecha toys is catching up. Impressed me most is the China price! Edited January 31 by Masked Aviator Quote

I hope folks out there aren't sleeping on this figure. It's design and build exceeded my every expectation. Someone get Moshow working on the Alpha, Beta, Hovertank....everything!!! Quote
shazam Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) My payment was processed through BBTS today. The shipping to my address was $99 USD which is more than half the price of the figure. 😭 manfred17 The figure looks impressive next to the Gakken version. Edited February 3 by shazam Quote
IronRaptor Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Wow. At first I was bummed out that the figure wasn't perfect transformation. but to be honest, even best perfect transformation ride armor toys are not really perfect transformation as no one has ever managed to replicate the "perfect mounting action" to get the cyclone from bike to suit while the rider stays seated on the bike. The heft of the toy. and the stunning look of it in suit mode really makes up for that though IMHO. I am very happy with my purchase. Quote

I'm curious to see the review on Anymoon for this toy. There should be bonus points for all the diecast parts, magnets and tampos Quote
jenius Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I'm looking forward to diving in but it's going to have to wait until the ThreeZero Roy review wraps up. I had just started that review when this arrived and i can tell this review is going to take some time and undivided attention. Quote

I wonder how many people would want this size. I'm not familiar with Jeedol Power, but interestingly, there's an Instagram account and a YouTube channel labeled as Jee-Dol power: https://www.instagram.com/primejee/ https://www.youtube.com/c/primejee The title/label for the Youtube channel reads: JEE-DOL POWER 3D (FDM 3D Printer Artist).
