Dec 10 – Beast Wars II Lio Convoy played by Neoart Toys NT-10 Origin Leonidas.

Yep, I bought two, and I’m eternally grateful that I opened this one second. Had I opened this one first and the black one second it would have been a big disappointment (the black one). Nothing loose rolling around in the package, no parts loose on the figure that required adjusting and nothing fell off. The paint job on this guy is awesome and quite surprised that both PE and Neo Arts actually put the Maximal symbols on the chest. I guess Takara doesn’t check these the way they seem to with Autobot/Decepticon symbols bit whatever makes them happy I guess.

Only differences between this guy and the black is the paint job (yeah thanks Captain Obvious), the bow weapon and he gets swords instead of claws. Having given it some thought for the last couple of hours is I really dislike the beast modes on both of them. They look OK at best but the lack of articulation and the way the arms become front legs makes him look weird. Also not a fan of the way the head can’t look up without a massive and noticeable gap. Shame really because the lion head looks really sharp and I managed to get the mouth further open and the mane in better placement than the black one. Either way on bot mode I think these guys really look good and would go well in an MP Beast Wars collection.
