Mospeada Toyrise Legioss Alpha

 

Takara Tomy is definitely giving Mospeada some special treatment. Within the span of a single year, they’ve released three Toyrise Legioss models in a row, and the latest entry is the commander-type variant dubbed Legioss Alpha. Scheduled for release in September 2026, the Toyrise Legioss Alpha will retail for 14,000 yen.

At a glance, the upgraded weapon loadout already makes the Legioss Alpha stand out from the previous Toyrise Legioss releases. Clad in an imposing black color scheme and equipped with an extra pair of shoulder cannons, the Legioss Alpha clearly presents itself as a leader-type variant of the Legioss. Its design also reminds me of the elite Legioss squad that appeared near the end of the original Mospeada TV anime series.

Considering that Takara Tomy seems quite comfortable reusing the Toyrise Mospeada mold across from the past iterations, it wouldn’t be surprising if we see even more entries from the Mospeada series in the future.

Genesis Climber Mospeada T-Spark Toyrise Legioss Delta

I thought Toyrise’s Mospeada line had already delivered with Legioss Omega, but it turns out there’s more to come. Following Omega, we now have Toyrise Legioss Delta, and its design takes a rather intriguing turn. Scheduled for release in Q4 2026 and priced at 12,000 Yen, this new entry promises some interesting surprises.

Like Legioss Omega, Legioss Delta features full three-form transformation, reminiscent of Macross’ Variable Fighters. Sporting a green color scheme and coming with radome parts, it immediately brings Luca’s VF-25 Messiah from Macross Fronter to mind.

What sets Legioss Delta apart, however, is its lance-like rifle, a feature that’s unusual for a Real Robot series like Mospeada. If this line continues, I’d expect future Legioss incarnations to sport even more unique and inventive armaments.

Genesis Climber Mospeada Moderoid Ride Armor Stig & Ray

Mospeada has always been the series that I am personally fascinated ever since I was exposed the anime series as Shinji Aramaki’s Motorcycle Power Armor design always captivate me. After strings of manufacturers taking on Mospeada series, Goodsmile felt they are ready to take on this classic 80s Mecha series with Moderoid Lineup. Starting the series with the iconic ride armor, Moderoid Mospeada is releasing Ride Armor Stig and Ray for their first batch. Scheduled for September 2026 release, Moderoid Ride Armor Stig/Ray will be sold for 8500 Yen.

Compared to Sentinel’s ride armor, I think moderoid’s version follows more 80s Aesthetics having overall blockier power armor. GSC took the safe approach by releasing both Mospeada’s main character as the first batch, the professional soldier Stig and wasteland wanderer Ray.

Personally, I am really curious how Moderoid’s Ride Armor transformation gimmick works whether it will be parts swapping or seamless transformation like the action figure version. I think Moderoid will be great choice if I consider to add companion for Stig.

Genesis Climber Mospeada T-Spark Toyrise Legioss Omega

 

 Takara Tomy is truly on a roll this year! Not sure how they could pull it off but they have been re-releasing old mecha designs and add new layer on it. After Transformers crossover with Macross, now we got ourself new design for Mospeada. Nothing fancy compared to Basara Prime, but still a new design for Legioss that Mospeada deserved. Dubbed as Legioss Omega and released as Toyrise, this one will be sold for 12000 Yen and scheduled for March 2026.

Genesis Climber Mospeada Pose+ Metal 1/28 Legioss

 
 Of all underrated mecha series, never expected Mospeada got some luxurious treatment on the courtesy by Artstorm. As a result, we got ourselves 1/28 scale Legioss made out of diecast parts standing 33cm. By far this got to be the largest rendition of Legioss with the complete transformation gimmick. Scheduled for May 2026 release, Pose+ Metal Legios will be sold for whopping 72500 Yen SRP.

It can't be understated the feat pulled off by Artstorm to create a masterpiece product for often overlooked Macross distant cousin. They could just make popular Diecast products for Yuusha series like Gaogaigar, but they devote their effort for Mospeada instead. This rendition of Legioss gotta be the most elaborate we have so far. This 1/28 Legioss are not merely the largest transformable rendition of Mospeada's protagonist mecha but it also comes with elaborate internal structure for certain parts of the mecha. Not to mention Pose+ Metal Legioss comes with elaborate cockpit gimmick along with 1/28 Stigg in his Bike Power Armor. No need for elaborate bike power armor when the mecha cockpit gimmick are so intricate. 

If I had the money to burn, I would have highly considering obtaining this product but since I can't get one without tearing my wallet, I will have to be content with my Sentinel Legioss and Moshow Mospeada instead. This pose+ Legioss truly a crown jewel for any Mospeada fans who have the money to spend but of all things why sword accessories though? 

March 2025 Loot

 
 Another Sumptuous banquet of hauls accumulated by the end of this month. This one might come close in terms of overall value compared to the previous batch which is one of the peak. While the upper limit of the previous batch is still won by the P-Bandai Metal Build Billbine, this one got some nice Heavyweights as well such as Riobot Villkiss and Moshow Mospeada. But the best probable loot in this batch gotta be the Chinese version of Diaclone Convoy as I can't obtain the original one for reasonable price. This batch really shows that Chinese made products start to overwhelm the Japanese counterpart not only in numbers, but overall value as their Value-for-money are truly no joke. Lastly my Joytoy Blood Angels collection got some good reinforcements with the Primarch Sanguinius and his 30k sons finally joining in.

Genesis Climber Mospeada Riobot 1/48 AB-01H Tread

 Took quite sometime for Sentinel to release this after Legioss but Mospeada's Valkyrie Fighter buddy, AB-01H Tread is now available for Preorder. The COVID Pandemic definitely play a part for this guy's release delay for up to 5 years. The hype definitely have cooled down significantly after such a long time and the odds aint good, but Sentinel still fulfilled their end of bargain to release Legioss best partner. Scheduled for July 2025, 1/35 Tread will be sold for 42000 Yen Price Tag.

Genesis Climber Mospeada Moshow Non Scale Ride Armor Cyclone YR-052F

 

 Mospeada Fans gotta be eating good as we are getting something from Moshow where the Iconic Motorcycle Power Armor is getting Nobleclass Diecast Treatment! Released under Robotech lineup for some reason, this Moshow rendition of Power Armor will stand 26cm and scheduled for Q1 2025 release with 980 RMB Price tag.

 Of all things, I am not sure why Moshow had to pick Robotech IP considering they could have easily afforded the Mospeada. Perhaps it is due to the former being easier option and Hasbro/HG is more than willing to lease the IP easily just to spite the original IPs. Nevertheless given the previous Noble Class Diecast Products, this Moshow rendition of Ride Armor certainly will not disappoint. Despite the anime series was nothing special, I always have a soft spot toward Mospeada series with the potentials that it had and quite willing to double dip for this Ride Armor. Of many old mecha series, Mospeada definitely could use some reboot because the present anime talent had what it takes to elevate this classic series.

July - September 2020 Loot

 Another Heavy Duty accumulation of Loots over past three months with Mecha and FGO being the usual business. This time's loot is rather expensive due to Sentinel items being part of the haul with Riobot Legioss and Johanna easily account for half of this loot's overall value. For the Mecha series there are new series that join part of my collection as i invest on Beastbox and Joytoy which are some recent Chinese made Mecha Toys that seems to have Potential. As for FGO series, i got myself some Figmas and non-Banpresto Prize Figures for a change. While i usually restrict myself in getting Figmas only for the Servants that have visited my Chaldea, i am willing to get Proto Saber in advance so the Bishie King is willing to grace a visit next year just like Gilgamesh already did in recent Gilfest. As usual Prize Figure will likely get the earliest opportunity for Reviews but i will try to prioritize the Beastbox this time.

Mospeada RIOBOT AFC-01 Legioss

 I have been long anticipating for Sentinel's take one Legioss to accompany my Riobot Mospeada and finally we got the official announcement! Scheduled for June 2020 release, Riobot Legioss will cost 25000 Yen. For a price of Soul of Chogokin, we are getting a 1/48 scale of Legioss which will stand around 18cm in Armo-Soldier/Battroid mode. The Riobot will also come with the cockpit gimmick including Stig on his Power Armor Bike. For 25000 Yen, Bandai's Soul of Chogokin provide better value for money no doubt. But it might still worth it for diehard fan of Mospeada. I am still considering for this one since it will cost more than 25000 Yen for the local preorder and that kind of money is not something that i can spend casually. But as long as Sentinel's take on Legioss is not to fragile i think it will still worth it. This will be a hard decision to make because Sentinel Products are very difficult to find on aftermarket.

Yami's Wonderfest Winter 2019 Highlight

 It is this particular time every year where the the floodgates are released for the Toy Collectors. As usual temptations are always flying everywhere which may make your wallet go bust. Like every previous Wonderfest, i always make coverage that highlights things that catches my attention but this time i will make separate post for FGO since i got assignment for that one and might as well make a new material out of it.

Yami's Summer Wonderfest 2018 Highlight

  Twice a year, Wonderfest always bring some high class temptations for toy collectors as usual and i am doing my part to highlight objects of interest. While i find Winter Wonderfest tend to have better lineup on prototypes, i find this summer to be equally good probably had to do with my focus shift less to Mecha nowadays.

July 2018 Loot

 Since i work in toys industry, i am getting most of my stuff through preorders these days and i just got some of them this month. I have featured most of them in this blog since they are in my hit list already save for Gundam Converge which i started to collect again after a long break. Out of these items, i probably hyped Sentinel's Mospeada the most because the series scarcely have toys. Probably Yang Wenli is the first to get reviewed out of the bunch being a PVC Figure. Whereas it will be a long time before i review the new F91 MG but i do look forward to the new features that the MG had over the old one.

Genesis Climber Mospeada RIOBOT 1/12 Ride Armor

 I have been looking forward to Sentinel take on Mospeada Ride Armor ever since i saw the Prototype early this year. Just today Sentinel made its release announcement, the RIOBOT Ride Armor will be released January next year for 20000 Yen. The version of Ride Armor that Sentinel will be releasing is Stig Bernard's who is the main protagonist of the series and it seems that the RIOBOT will come with full gimmick. As as series, Mospeada is a wasted potential, but its mechanical design is something ahead of its time and thats what make me find this series noteworthy.

Years ago Megahouse did release 1/15 Scale Ride Armor with full gimmicks around 6000 Yen. But i guess paying three times the amount for a highly detailed 1/12 version is still within acceptable range with Recessions and Japanese Yen inflations being considered into. It was quite noticable that for some reason Japanese Hobby Toys price has inflated over past five years as the Hobby Companies are charging arms and legs for their product. Sentinel is one of the best Mecha Toy making company which is still around and i feel they deserve my support as they keep Moe Cancer at bay. If Stig's Ride Armor sells well enough i think Ray's and Houquet's will follow up. I wonder if Sentinel going to make Legioss some day because i think their sculpting skill should make a good one.

Wonderfest Summer 2017 Highlights

 As usual i always do coverage about Wonderfest whenever they appear. Compared the one earlier this year, The summer 2017 doesn't seem as exciting to me as you see more of the Manufacturer's progress on their prototype from the Winter Wonderfest. As always only mecha related stuff that piqued my interest and stay away from moeshits like a plague. In any case Kotobukiya and Sentinel seems to fill my expectation again this time.

Genesis Climber Mospeada Evolution Toy Legioss

Ever since i watched Mospeada, i have been keeping an eye for the series merchandise. On this year's Winter Wonderfest I did see the Legioss Prototype but it didn't catch my attention because prototype was rather sloppy. It turns out the one who are making the new Legioss Toy is a company called Evolution Toy which appears to make plenty of Super Robot Toys. The Toy is fully transformable and will be released on July this year with 28000 Yen Price tag which is very hefty for the quality of product. Unfortunately their mold for Legioss seems too Bulky and thus make it look very toyish. For now the Legioss Toy made by now Defunct CMS Corp still look better and definitive. Mospeada itself while nowhere close to Macross, it still have some interesting concepts even though the anime series didn't fully realize it. One of these days Mospeada should show up in SRW series.

Yami's Winter Wonderfest 2017 Highlights

Kinda late for one but here are some of the prototypes shown in the Event that i find noteworthy. This year's wonderfest got too many moeshit stuffs but at least the mechas are not dying yet. Firstly from Kotobukiya finally Raftclans is going to join the SRW plamo lineup which means one of my SRW kit wishlist ticked down and definitely keep a watch on it.

 While Frame Arms Girls seems to be the most selling Kotobukiya's lineup at the moment, Their HMM lineup will always be the best when it comes to quality and another 2 Zoids will join the lineup, Liger Zero Empire and Storm Sworder! With the empire side CAS coming out i guess Zero X will have a good chance to follow as well.

 I think the one who takes the crown for the best mecha lineup on this year's winter Wonderfest is Sentinel with their several toy lineups for several awesome under-represented mecha series. While we got Black Sarena and Baikanfu Toys before, it appears that Sentinel is going to one up Bandai with their prototypes especially Baikanfu which seems going to incorporate full fledged Pile Formation. Also it seems that we are going to get God Gravion complete with the gattai gimmick. Lastly that Mospeada power armor is going to be awesome. If the price for these prototypes are not too expensive i might be getting some of them.
