    *Shrug* The more I see of Genesis Breakers, the more my disappointment grows. I like how Aramaki modernized the classic Mospeada design, and the way Sentinel made the transformation work--despite questionable materials choices in the figure, they still get a massive thumbs-up from me. Everything beyond that just looks like trash. They took a good, functional design and just added junk to make everything look busy as a means to compensate for the fact that they have no creativity. Often times, less is more. 😑

    Pre-orders are open!

    It may not be as dumb as it looks. While the older design with big feet was aesthetically pleasing in its own 80s way, big feet really do hamper mobility. If you've ever tried walking with snowshoes, or oversized boots, you quickly realize how easy it is to trip over your own feet, so in that sense, smaller is preferred: better dexterity, quicker, more precise movement The other interesting aspect of the MOSPEADA boot design is that in either version, the driver's foot doesn't extend all the way down into the foot of the boot: the latter is itself almost a prosthetic that elevates the wearer and affords him/her important protection from mines or other types of IEDs. Like a better version of these.

    Looks like the project will go ahead, because demand is surprisingly high. Will open the pre-orders October 28th.

    Yes, they sure will. Added, thank you!

    The female armor would be taylor designed around a female body figure. We're already half way there, way to go!!

    q1: correct. q2: If there's enough demand for the female armor, I'd definitely make it.

    I'll see if I can provide some useful Mr. Color paint colors if the project goes ahead. You can also eyeball the colors on the 1/12 Sentinel figues. I will also correct some of the detail shortcomings from the Sentinel figure, so it would be more faithful to the MOSPEADA COMPLETE ARTWORKS cover illustration.

    That's the one! You'd need that figure and also a set of 1/6 tights in the color of your choice. I'll provide several MB logos to denote different ranks so that the builder will have more build options.

    New Moscato Hobby Models project proposal: 1/6 Motocycle Freak. The kit would consist of all the body armor for the rider, designed to fit a MX02-A figure. The head will come with a separate, realistic (non-anime) removable face and posable visor. Abdomen parts would be molded in flexible material for better posing mobility. Decal markings will be included, as well as gloved hands. The pre-order (first 30 kits) will include the rifle/stock/barrel, which will be extra once the pre-orders are filled. Please note that the MX02-A figure body is not included. You'll need that and the onesie of your preferred color to complete the build. Price: $310 Canadian + shipping. The project will only go ahead if I can fill all 30 spots. Please post 'WANT' only if you're serious about making a purchase for this. Any post that doesn't meet the previous criteria will not be counted. So what say you?

    What I'd like to know... is this figure bare plastic, or is it painted with a matte finish?

    Seeing as how Wave covered the VF-4, I don't see the point in offering a resin kit of it. They dropped the ball on the clumsy surface details, but I don't think that warrants paying 50% more to solve. Frankly, I'd rather offer an F-203E ground attack, 2 seater variant with bomb payload.

    Re-issue is scrubbed. Maybe in a few years.

    Great build! That kit brings back a lot of memories, and I enjoy seeing people bring my kits to life. We need 1/48 Destroids!

    Tick-tock. I'll leave the pre-order window open until the end of the day on September 12th. Hopefully I'll get the needed tally of 12 kits by then, and if not, I'll go to another project.

    I think I've given-up on Anime accuracy with anything to do with the Bioroids. It's all just biomechanical gummy bears, jellybeans and jello as far as I'm concerned. The style-guide artists bear the guilt, and the animators commit yet greater atrocities, still! Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing the build progress. Judging from the Biopsycher knee pics, you're further along on that one than the Bug Face unit.

    Hey, Ted. I so enjoy seeing your building progress, especially that these Lloyds are some of my best work and very challenging models to build. I would have liked to offer visor pieces molded in traslucent resin, but the workload was already very high, and the lenses are just pure black in all the shots I remember, so I determined the extra complexity was unwarranted. That being said, I'm curious to see what greeblies you plan to stuff behind the vac-formed parts. Also, in case anyone is wondering...

    Extremely mean and dangerous! Sometimes the best projects are the throw-away designs the original art team didn't mangle. So this is me throwing my hat into the ring with an offer for a second run, this time with decals and commensurate price bump. Please forgive the rickety build, it's barely holding together with hot glue.
