For me on the blue one, I took off the shoulder pad off, so that way I could hold the should joint closer. I also used a dap of silicone shock oil. Just rotated a couple times and loosened it enough. Yah otherwise you feel like it will snap.
I got mine last week and I had the exact same joint issue with the left shoulder. I just left it pointing straight out because I was afraid of damaging the joint if I tried to force it.
Thanks for the review. It seems primarily plastic than die-cast. That will be a deal breaker for me at the ~$300 price point, but it still is very detailed. Nice.
It seems that it doesn't have the back parts of the left wing loose like the blue one. Great they fixed the Pilot. It is an expensive figure to have those issues...
I’ve heard about the rudders being loose, but I guess I got lucky with my Stick version. I’m hoping that it Sentinel did make adjustments, I don’t know much of the manufacturing side but I would assume they’d have to make another mold for the wings. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yeah on my green re-release I just got last month that damn wing came off on first transformation....and I was aware of the issue & super careful too! However...apart from that, it is still damn good engineering & super, super cool model!
It’s hard to say ‘cause I didn’t have any issues with the wings coming off out of box. It feels more like a wash ‘cause I experienced some problems with the ZETA that I didn’t with the ETA and vice versa. I’m really happy that they made the mini pilot more durable. The rear landing gear of both still feel like they’ll snap off. Probably not the answer you’re looking for but that’s the best I can do from my own experience.
DotDecorANDmore Great looking toy. I only had a chance to transform it to diver mode. No problems there. The only issue I have so far is the right arms fin is very stubborn about going back in, it pops off if I try to force it, and to get it back on I have to reinforce the moving part it attaches to from behind with a small screw driver and then pop it back on. After handling DX valks, I think I’m a little spoiled perhaps...
@@TheLostBoy1974 Glad you're enjoying it so far. With the fin, try adjusting the hand so that there's more clearance. I had a similar problem and solved it by doing that, hope it works for you too.
Man, I like these figures, but the price... With the small size, fragility, QC issues, and no panel lining details... Hard for me to justify buying it. Thanks for the review though!
I hear you on the price...it's not a cheap figure for the amount of plastic you get, but it is the best looking and most accurate Legioss that has ever been made, from what I've seen from other reviewers and photos. I could never encourage someone to buy something if they feel it wasn't worth their hard-earned money, so you do you. :) Thanks for the support and I'll be back to review the newly announced Iota (green Legioss that comes with Yellow Belmont mini figure)
@@dotdecorandmore7480 Thanks! Yeah, had the green 1/32 scale one as a kid, it was my favorite 80's toy by far. I still have one, mint condition, I added extra paint, stickers, and details. I think it holds up amazingly well. Not as articulated as these, but just as impressive IMO. I'm thinking about getting the new one, but I just feel like I'm being ripped off at the going price.

Thanks for the advice! Pinning your comment to help others that might have the same problem!
@@dotdecorandmore7480 Thank you for the video!!! Can't wait, to get this one.. hehe.

Wow! That’s pretty amazing. The detail on it 🤯
For $250, it better have good detail! :)

Thanks for the comment! Yea, not a cheap figure at all, especially for something plastic heavy.

The Motorcycle King made a lot of alternate designs that didn't go past the concept stage, I bet that's where that alternate rifle design is from.
so is this release better (improve & fix) from the ETA release?

Heading to Aki to get mine today!
Awesome! I hope it's still going for a good price. Let me know what you think when you open it up and transform it.

First! Just like Joe doing 500 damage on one of our enemies ;-)
Thanks for the watch!
