    Better pics of the Prototypes from the Sentinel website if people haven't seen them already.

    I "fixed" the broken feet on Stick. It turns out that, if you glop enough layers of epoxy on something, it'll eventually stick. That was after trying (and failing) with other types of adhesive; I already knew that super glue would fail, because it didn't really work for keeping those floppy armor bits on their ball joints.

    It's ugly, and frankly too embarrassing to post photos of. But it seems to work, at least in combination with the stand. If it lasts a few days, maybe I'll think about trying to paint those ugly glops into something resembling mud. That's the easiest way to camouflage it I can think of. (No, I'm not going to sand or dremel it down; I know my limits.)

    About time Ley got some heavy artillery! His stock pea-shooter is sorely lacking. Screen Shot 2018-08-27 .png

    Stop making me want more 1/12th figures to go with him.
    I'm already amassing a growing 1/18th collection for my other bikebots.

    WOOHo....oh....evolution....yeah I'll wait for Sentinel's.

    Yes it is the correct head. There were two. The one in that pic is one that's piloted by a human. The other head is for the unmanned "drones."

    A few Years back I bought both the CM Dark Legioss, but them legs in alt mode man...they stick out too far. Just like Evolution toys. I can't stand that. I'm definitely waiting for Sentinel.

    I always loved the mecha design of this series as much as the original Macross, so now that I'm hunting for a valkyrie it only seems fair to follow this thread in order to know what are the best Mospeada figures.

    Well Sentinel is where it’s at for Mospeada. The first Ride Armor they released was more fiddly but it seems like they improved the tolerances on the reissue and second release. I think any Ride Armor toy will be a bit fiddly but it seems fine to me. Most of us are looking forward to the Sentinel Legioss release and hoping it will be the first really great Legioss ever.

    From what are you saying I can infer two things. First, the previous Mospeada figures aren't perfect and probably not worth hunting for. Second, if Sentinel is involved I just chose another expensive way to burn my salary.
