MOSPEADA Inbit Revival Part II: Gosu?


Recommended Posts

I'm baaaaack! 

And this time I plan to reissue the King Crab (Gosu doppleganger) kit, with your help. This is the biggest and most elaborate of all the Inbit kits in my line, a true King Crab! :) Just as with the original, it will have a translucent eye and canopy part as well as a detailed cockpit ready to accept aftermarket pilot figues (not included this time). Just like the Pinky, the kit is free-pose.

Price would be $300 CAD (about $233 US)+ shipping with up-front payment required and I'd need a minimum of 10 orders to get the ball rolling on the project.

Shipping prices are as follows:

-$26 CAD per kit shipped in Canada or the US

-$48 CAD per kit shipped internationally.

Any takers?

Well....as much as I really wanted to own a 2nd one of these bad boys and do the sister's pink/purple paint scheme, due to the moving in of the fiance/getting her a new car/summer vacation trip bills, I just can't swing it this time around sadly. Sorry Cap!  However I will tell everyone that can swing it to get one of these! It has awesome shelf presence once built and on display! 

 

Free pics to help with the sales! :-)

Pity, I was looking forward to seeing your posted pics of that version. :( 

:DThat Gosu looks awesome!

Happy Monday to all!

I'm letting everyone know that I'm officially kicking-off the King Crab project, and have begun some preliminary mold-prep. Just as for the Pinky, you can now send payment. The fees are listed in the first post as always and if you have any questions, you can PM me! :)

P.S.: it may not show in the pic, but I have a fair bit done already.

As my Pinky Space Crab nears completion, I look forward to tackling a King Crab... or two, actually (if the order window stays open a few more weeks)!

Hi Ted, that shouldn't be an issue. The more the merrier. ^_^

Tuesday morning update: molds are almost done, I have one final mold to pour (total of 7.) I had to start one mold over because it wasn't to my satisfaction. First kits will be casting Thursday afternoon/Friday morning.

Appreciate the update, sir.  What color will the parts be cast in this time?

By the way, I saw a similar 1:48 Gosu garage kit for sale at Wonder Festival 2017 last month:

It's a little smaller, significantly cheaper, but clearly much lower quality than yours, Cap'n.  <_<

Of course, had yours not been available, I'd have probably bought one of these... but it would've taken a lot more effort to make it acceptable for display in my collection!

Let's just say that this next batch of resin will be very peachy indeed! :p

Is it possible that this Wonderfest kit was released previously? I seem to recall seeing low-res images of a Gosu with very similar proportions a few years back when I was hunting for reference images.

As I eagerly anticipate this build, I've been going through the Blu-rays and preparing color references for painting:

Sorji.jpg.b2f12d81984a3a1af630a06d9f40143f.jpg

Sorji's Gosu is heavily favored in earlier episodes, so I'll be doing a Queen Crab first.  ^_^

Since there's not much else available online, I'm sure some of you will find these images useful.

While capturing these images, I caught a glimpse of superhuman agility:

She leaps nearly five meters in the air to reach the pilot's seat!  :blink:

I think a reasonable case can be made to say that the overall body color is similar (if not identical) to the Gurab when viewed side-by-side. I'm also wondering if the tan parts (shoulders, fingers, etc.) wouldn't look neat as a sort of champagne-colored alloy.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.  It looks like the animators used the same paint for both... so I intend to do the same.  ^_^

I'm planning to use 1:6th scale doll parts for the ball-jointed shoulders and elbows, and hopefully I can find a close color match to avoid having to paint them.

The other tan parts will be painted to match.

Looking forward to seeing that Queen Crab build.:D

As for that agility I guess hth with one of these pilots might be a bad idea for a mere human.:o

Actually, the humans are even more impressive:

Stig manages to leap from a stationary position on the ground...

Superman.thumb.jpg.e038a2d87f19e7d886f2637c7f461100.jpg

...after ditching the ride armor, even...!

apex.thumb.jpg.177d169e349ba534c379b5e6cda02fbb.jpg

...and actually lands perfectly in the open Legioss cockpit.

That's gotta be at least seven meters right there!  I guess he forgot gravity on Earth is nearly three times stronger than on Mars.

Come to think of it, a human born and raised on Mars wouldn't have the muscle mass to jump seven centimeters off the ground, much less seven meters...  :mellow:

Yesterday, I pulled my copy of "Mospeada Complete Artworks" out, and while casually looking over the cover, it dawned on me that the battle armour under the transformed ride armour is itself a power suit.  It only shows up on the cover piece (what was recently made into a 3D version and revealed at Wonderfest (?) a few weeks back), but... it would explain why Stig is able to make that superhuman jump (in addition to explaining why they're able to walk around wearing the Ride Armour without their legs buckling under the weight! :lol: )

[yeah, I know it's not official.  But one can say that the cover is a modernized retcon to explain away those anime-leaps in the series]

If you're curious, I'm referring to the 'exposed' chest abdomen area on the cover (exposed in the sense that it's not covered by the Ride Armour).

Any idea what's up next? Pinky space crab? 

No, that was last month.  I suspect the Garmo's getting reissued next.

As "fanon" ideas go, I like this one.  :)

I wish I could've afforded a third, but Arcadia's 1:3000 "Premium Finish" SDF-1 just set me back $500...  :vava:

I'm pretty sure there are a few internal organs/fluids/body parts you could pawn if you really, REALLY wanted to, Ted. :rolleyes:

Looking forward to see your work on the King!

In case it's of use to anyone else, here's the Gosu painting guide I've prepared (color-matched to the Blu-ray masters):

No, I've gotta keep those in reserve... for the Blueberry Space Crab.  ;)
