daBlah!

That's the 1/48 scale Hargun by the same modeler that's featured in the book 😁  There are a few cleared photos of it a few pages back in this topic.

8 pages of 1/24 scale Aoshima Garland goodness in the lates copy of Robot Hobby Life. Perfect leg transformation too.

I'm waiting for my copy to arrive. I picked it up for the Megazone 23 entry from Imizu Hiroshi on his build of a 1/24 scale.

Looks to have a lot of content in it though so looking forward to flicking through it.

If they added the Destroids to the line up it could be a nice entry line to the mecha collection. Lower price point than the Hi-Metal and DX lines. Cute, fun and a tad cheaper, would seem like a win, if the SD styling wasn't a complete turn off.

Did you buy from him direct?

Afraid not, only at wonderfest. I managed to get a really great friend to attend and run around the event to collect these as I couldn't attend.

I feel like I managed to at least collect the 1/48 garlands and figures form Imizu now. The last pieces arrived which was mainly the part II garlands and the new figures he created for part I and part II.

I've seen a few of these pop up in auction listings and sell out for ~200usd already!

Since the 1/48 was on my mind I wanted the condor too in the same scale.

From Wonderfest

I'm looking forward to getting this in hand from WonderFest. It was one of the items since it was in 1/48 scale I was keen to grab this time around.

From Twitter:

Left: TINY Session / Right: SD Infinity

Nice side by side of the old SD... It's difference enough to justify buying it 😁 It was hard enough to track down the old SD versions.

Spotted this SD toyline on Twitter. Is this new or is there more information out there about these?

Are you referring to the Good Smile/FREEing E=X?

I actually got two of them (right when they had their lowest price drop, so got there for like $90 a piece), and like them. It's one of those figures where I ABSOLUTELY 100% understand every complaint leveled against it... and they are completely justified... and it is super floppy... but the engineering is still very cool and it just looks so good next to my Arcadia Garland, so if you don't breathe too hard on it then it is gorgeous to look at.

 

I had missed the info on the Flagger somehow, and had assumed that the Flagger and Hargan were going to be a single purchase together. So the Hargan comes first, and if they sales aren't good enough then no Flagger? Well, I hope that we do get it, and within a reasonable time frame (or we're going to have some serious 3d printing going on to make up for it).

I've certainly had my moments that I'd look up for some Freeing E=X for sale. If I seen them for the price you got I could be swayed 😅

The Flagger Transporter I was on about was this one. Certainly hope the Transport truck one gets the go ahead with the hargan sales as Mr. K indicated.

I just noticed in the bottom of this photo the Garlands and the Hargan lined up nicely!

I would love to see a Wild Sau from Arcadia.

Something like this would be impressive... I think this is being built at 1/12 scale.

Ha so its GR-2 & Wilde Sau after the Hargun.. Part of me wishes they do the E=X Garland next, but these other rare ones are also welcome!

I certainly hope that they finish out the Garland variants so that there's a nice full collection line. I've held off buying the only E=X Garland available for this long maybe it's worth while waiting to see if Arcadia deliver a much better version. I believe it was @jeniusreview that put the nail in the coffin on that piece for me 😅

The Hargan transporter seems to depend on Hargan sales at the moment so fingers crossed this will happen. The 1/12 scale one is done and tested but no color version yet it seems.

Some GR-2 grunts would be nice to face off with the Proto Garland.

There are some nice ones like the Flagger and Hargan transport Flagger that could be nice pieces to see released in the scale. I'd like some time to CAD up the Transport Flagger for the 1/48 Hargan.

The translated quote below seems positive if sales are good I guess...

It's colored!
Well, that's good. Simplicity, ruggedness and stylishness. … This balance is unbearable!

It is composed of finer parts than Garland.

This is the most fun transformation .

The 1/12 size one that was displayed on site is for shape verification and will not be commercialized, so be careful not to make a mistake. (Omitted here)

As a toy man, I want 1/12 as well. … If sponsors and patrons appear, or! ??

I want to go to GR-2 and Villedesau as it is.

ask! Everyone, buy it in the carton!

I am ridiculously excited for this to come out. That display space has been sitting there, just waiting... plus these might actually be fun to handle.

I've ran out of space in my IKEA 2x4 cabinet I've mounted on the office wall 😅 I've the 1/24, the feature garland and 1/15 garlands mingling in one cube.... The 1/48 garland and Hargan transporter still haven't been built but would look great in a scene on their own 😅

The 1/12 Hargan 3d print went for sale back in October time. It was 3d printed but I don't think the transporter had ever been for sale since. 

Mr.K indicated that the likelihood of the transporter seems tied to the success of the Hargan release.

Hmm I wonder if they misprinted the label. 1/12 scale?

No it's correct. That one is designed by Cou.... Along with the 1/12 Hargan that fits with it. I'm under the assumption that this will be scaled down then for the 1/24 Arcadia releases as it's the same designer. He also did a 1/12 version of the Arcadia 1/24 Garland released 👍

It's too bad this line doesn't have little action figures that work with the mecha.

Id like to see if the Hexagear 1/24 figures at least scale nicely with them. 

Wow! Really nice to see this hitting the displays this year.

Awesome.  Definitely buying it.

It's a nice surprise to see it pop up. Nice addition to anyone's collection for sure.

The 1/12 Hargan and Transporter displayed at wf2022w. Hopefully this means a step closer to the 1/24 version.

Spotted at WF2022w.

Been eagerly waiting a shipping notice from HLJ on the army Garland but nothing as of yet 🙈.  I really want to track down a set of those add on Garland parts too. Have not seen them come up for sale in years!

The additional armor parts from Arcadia look great on the Army version.

The brochure is also a recent arrival, a fan-made Garland catalogue by R-Area:

 

The R-Area released books are definitely nice pieces to pick up just to look at the images alone. Only picked up the brochures and book last month to add to the collection. Used it as a backdrop just now for the Hargun.

I finally got time to roughly get the arms and legs together for slave mode in the Hargun. Some adjustments for the fitment and the small detail pieces to go together yet. Really impressed with the kit. I did manage to break 2 small pieces by no respecting the fitment tolerances when putting the joints together.
