Looks like Cavico Choipla series is getting into the Birkhoff Squad, let's hope Bandai gets a hint! 🤗

not my cup of tea.....

Not my thing also. 

But they are kinda cute.

Very interesting release. It had more effort put into it than the DX VF-17

That's a pretty low bar though. 🤣 

For those that have both, can we get some comparison pics in all 3 modes, of the Omega and the Sentinel Legioss toys, with a ruler included in the pic please to show size.

Yeah, I'm kind conflicted on this. Need some time to think if I want it or not. 🤔

So many customisation possibilities. 😊 

Pics on FB are showing it's about the same length and overall size in fighter mode as the Sentinel Legioss.

Not even worth fighter mode ?

I was originally planning just to keep it in fighter mode and look at it only with my reading glasses off. 😂 

But, after looking at it in person, I just can't stand it with the completely wrong legs, wrong  backplate, wrong shoulders etc. 

I love the VF-17 design too much to keep this travesty.

On a positive note, I do think Bandai did a good job with the color though.

I will remain happy with my original 90s Bandai 1/65 and Yamato 1/60 versions.

@Graham What series is the Commando Vorct version from?

It was a magazine series published in Hobby Japan.

Here's an excellent overview:

Commando Vorct overview | Tim Eldred https://share.google/XTO2pk7sMJXCAwVOG

Just picked up this little guy for about USD23.

Yeah, I know it's CM's and the plastic will probably break in multiple places as soon as I take it out of the box, but heck it was cheap enough. 😅 

I've always liked the Commando Vorct, Rane Custom design and it will probably be years, if ever until Bandai makes an HMR version.

I've already put mine up for sale at a loss, but don't care. 🤣 

Took it out of the box for 5 minutes, looked at it and thought "nah, not keeping you".

I doubt this will end well. 😂

Whoa, did you get enough TC HMRs to make the whole gang? Jealous!

I'm jealous too. 😅 

I stopped at 2 HMR Turbo customs.

I like the anime so far. I've actually just started watching it for the first time. 

But, I've never really been a fan of the mecha design, especially the glass cockpit head design.

While I'm sure this will be a great toy, I'll pass on it.

Just picked up mine.

I used to have this.

Those trailers look pretty bad. 

I'll stick to the original. 

Hope the upcoming Votoms, Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell animes are animated better.

Cool! Have fun with it! Mine, will arrive end of this week! are you going to open it or keep it sealed? Since you already have the (RSC). 

I'll keep it in the box until the Melkia Scopedog is released and then I'll use the Parachute Pack from that to put on this one.

Scopedog in hand. 😊 

Wow, I didn't realise that Yamato had released so many Scopedog toys.

At the time I didn't really pay much attention to their Votoms releases. 😅

Another Video review of the new Scopedog!

Translation from the inside of the box!

Episode (02 Uoodo) 22:18

"The warmth I had felt was coming back to me, and I felt as if I was being held by my mother, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep. The place had a familiar smell to it... All I could feel was the cold, iron-like skin on my hands."

 

Getting mine tomorrow.

The lil guy is getting some attention lately, this time it will be the lil toyrise figure 

the Zwerg always needs a lil love, especially with Valentine’s Day coming up

I'm just on the Quent arc on my rewatch of the TV series, so it's made me want a Zwerg, even though I don't like the design that much. 😅 

However, I've decided to stick with the HMR line for my Votoms toy needs, so I guess I'll be waiting a while.
