The packaging has a good mix of art and depictions of the toy but the plastic window up front (not present on the unlicensed final release) is prone to being punctured or otherwise damaged and allow sun to damage the toy inside. The Japanese version of the blue Legioss also comes with a plastic card taped to the Styrofoam to protect the box&#8217;s window, I have seen this card be either clear or yellow tinted. No matter the packaging, you\u2019ll find the toy inside a Styrofoam tray and the following items:<br> 1) Gun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a

Legioss toys, there\u2019s still a lot of love for this classic. I don&#8217;t have specifics on the release information but it seems MSRP was $22.97 in the US and would have been on shelves around the time of Robotech&#8217;s airing in 1985. The red Legioss piloted by Houquet (sometimes listed as Fuke due to the imprecise art of Romanizing the Japanese language) is the rarest Japanese version of the toy. As mentioned previously, the Japanese toys have packaging specific to the contents which adds to its charm. Beyond that, all the Japanese toys are slightly more collectible due to their scarcity and perceived (warranted or not) superiority. Some people may also feel a connection to the Robotech name and thus choose the Excite or Matchbox model over the Henshin Robo. To be clear, the red \u201cAlpha fighter\u201d sold by Gakken of Singapore is no more collectible than the green or blue toys, it\u2019s is only the Gakken of Japan toy that demands a premium. At 31 cm long in fighter mode and 23 cm tall in soldier\/battloid (still the tallest production toy to-date), fans have long loved the deluxe size. At 448 grams, this Gakken toy is also heavier than the beloved Takatoku\/Bandia 1\/55 VF-1 toy which weighed in at 354 grams. Found a loose Legioss\/Alpha and you\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s the Japanese version? Check below the intake for the manufacturer\u2019s stamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-9.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sculpt, Detail, and Paint:<\/strong> (6\/10)<br> The strong suit of these original toys wasn\u2019t their likeness to the line art.

stabilizers that\u2019s truly irksome. Unlike the CM\u2019s and Evolution Toy Legioss offerings that followed more than 20 years later, the head tucks in very well and the chest doesn\u2019t protrude too far down. Like most Legioss toys, this one suffers from legs that can\u2019t sufficiently collapse leading them trailing too far behind and creating massive air dams with the kneecaps. The cockpit opens to reveal the pilot figure (not removable) but the red toy uses the same mold as the blue and green, there&#8217;s no female pilot. Despite these shortcomings the toy is still a solid representation of the Alpha\/Legioss in all modes and is a significant improvement over Gakken\u2019s smaller offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-4.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Design: <\/strong>(6\/10)<br> This toy is an excellent example of how keeping it simple can have big returns.

There are no integrated missile bays, no collapsed ride armors being stowed in the chest, and you can\u2019t stow the gun in fighter mode as we would see on later renditions of the craft. Diver mode is also a little awkward with the legs pressing against the intakes and the instructions indicating the nose should be parallel to the ground rather than pointing down somewhat. Another shortcoming of the transformation is that the shoulder array can be seen when viewed from behind, modern toys have added a door to better conceal it. Fighter mode is generally pretty good but it can be difficult, if not impossible, to get everything symmetrical due to all the ratcheted joints. It can take some time to learn how to handle fighter mode as to not inadvertently twist the intakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gakken 1-35 Scale Legioss Alpha Soldier Diver Fighter Transformation Guide\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D68F-zjMDHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-5A.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Durability &amp; Build<\/strong>: (8\/10)<br> This is a hefty toy that feels solid, but it does have some areas where you\u2019ll want to exercise some caution. The kneecaps are prone to breaking and are sorely missed once they\u2019re gone. The pins in the wings also have a tendency to become unseated causing winglets to go missing. Over time the wings also begin to sag and can break off at the connecting rod. My red toy is either missing a screw in the chest or it&#8217;s somewhat stripped allowing the nose to wiggle. It also has an issue on one of the wing hinges that prevents it from folding straight. This same toy also has a front landing gear that sweeps too far back allowing the head fin to touch the ground. This toy feels absolutely unused otherwise so it just goes to show you that production in the 80s was subject to the same occasional QC issues we see today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14375\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14375\" class=\"wp-image-14375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-10.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14376\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14376\" class=\"wp-image-14376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01I-Legioss-3.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14377\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14377\" class=\"wp-image-14377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01Z-Legioss-2.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Articulation:<\/strong> (6\/10)<br> For the era this toy came out in the articulation offered wasn\u2019t half bad.  By today\u2019s standards, this toy leaves a lot to be desired. The head has very limited ability to twist in either direction and looking up or down is problematic when things start loosening up. There are no ball joints here so don\u2019t expect to cock the head to one side. The shoulders are a strength. They allow full ratcheted rotation and you can lift the arms up and out at the shoulders as part of transformation. Within the shoulder housing there\u2019s also a ratcheted joint allowing you to move the arm out away from the body without employing the transformation mechanism. There\u2019s a twist point at the at the bicep and then a ratcheted elbow that allows 90 degrees of articulation. It\u2019s a shame there isn\u2019t a twist point at the wrist because the arm mobility can lead to interesting poses but have the hand at an odd angle that is compounded when you put a gun in that hand. There isn\u2019t a waist swivel. The legs can kick out straight forward (90 degrees) before the chest will cause issues and they can go back more than 90 degrees before they run into the wings. You can also point the toes outward at the hip (a must for transformation). There\u2019s no rotation point at the knee but it can pivot forward a bit (for diver mode) and come back nearly 90 degrees. The heels, foot, and toe all allow up and down articulation but there\u2019s no angle left\/right or rotation of the foot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14372\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14372\" class=\"wp-image-14372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-8.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14373\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14373\" class=\"wp-image-14373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Gakken-135-AFC-01H-Legioss-14.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Total Score:<\/strong> (33.5\/50)<br> It\u2019s important to remember that this toy is being reviewed as if it were released today. In its time, this toy was a sterling example of what could be. By today\u2019s standards, it\u2019s a bit plain and stiff but it still does well otherwise. The construction of this toy would be the envy of newer Alpha\/Legioss toys and there are very few areas that require any special attention at all. Being the largest Alpha and best vintage effort, this toy remains a must-own for any Robotech or Genesis Climber MOSPEADA toy collector. To put this in perspective, if you offered me this toy, an Evolution Toy Legioss, a CM\u2019s Legioss, or a Toynami Masterpiece Alpha\u2026 there\u2019s a very good possibility I would probably still take this toy. It was always tough being a Mospeada fan\u2026 at least we got phenomenal Beagle Ride Armor toys for our patience. More recently, Sentinel has taken on the Mospeada license and has done some excellent interpretations of the ride armor and will release a new Legioss in 2020 so let\u2019s keep our fingers crossed that it delivers in ways this classic couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Post Date: May 17, 2006<br>\nUpdated June 11, 2007: All new pictures were added, content was updated.<br>\nUpdated December 1, 2012: Added HD pictures and transformation guide.<br>\nUpdated May 18, 2011: Added All new higher resolutions pictures, line art comparisons, video review, and content was updated.<br>\nUpdated November 24, 2019: Added 4K transformation guide, new pictures, and updated content and format to conform to current releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REVIEW: The best Legioss toy\u2026. ever?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,3,4,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-34","category-alpha","category-gakken","category-gensis-climber-mospeadanew-generation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1512"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14395,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions\/14395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
