Aoshima Mospeada TREADS Announced!

Aoshima has announced that they will be producing 1/48 scale Treads to their Genesis Climber Mospeada Shin Seiki Gohkin toyline, click here to get the scoop!

I hope that Aoshima continues to engineer toys for Toynami, the Beta is a GREAT sign, and I hope for things to come. Everyone was shocked when that thing finally came out, and I hope that Aoshima decides to make a new Legioss from scratch. EVERYONE wants a suitable Legioss toy for the Beta/Tread MPC to link up to!

Shin Densetsu

Ohh man.. You mean they might get even better?!?!?!? When it rains... it pours! Now all they have to do is fix that damn Alpha!

Yes, they are actually completely responsible for how well the Beta MPC turned out, both engineering, and quality wise.

Shin Densetsu

I don't know if the Beta would be better, necessarily, since the Toynami was already Aoshima's work. For those who only want to display this combo in fighter mode it could be a boon though, since they can get a cheap blue Alpha from Aoshima, dip the damnable thing in superglue so it can never come apart, and display it that way

I take it they will add some exclusive stuff like missles and other such awesome things. Maybe even the shoulder missles like on the CM's. I hope they redo the Legioss, Toynami and CM's made disappointing Legioss/Alphas, compared to their Treads/Betas.

Shin Densetsu

I must be in the minority as I like the CM's Legioss more than the Tread. Neither of them lock together particularly well, but the Legioss has integrated landing gear and a greater level of detail than the Tread, which relies on the sucktackular steel boom to keep it steady on the ground. The Tread does pose a lot better than the Legioss thanks to the better hips and poseable head, but the Legioss just looks meaner and more aggressive than the Tread, which looks kind of ... I don't know ... adorable.

This is all beside the point, of course, as this is a Aoshima Tread Thread. Hopefully Aoshima's "upgrades" aren't anything like the "upgrades" they did to the alpha

QuinJester

I'm mildly curious to see if Aoshima makes any changes or includes any extras (minor though they may be) but otherwise I have zero interest in an Aoshima Tlead unless they make a new Alpha to go with it.

Either way, I'm quite happy with my CMs set, so anything better would be superfluous.
