My stand for Great White arrived today. It took about 6 weeks from China to Australia. 

For a few months I was seriously thinking this might never arrive.

Great White just shipped! 

Has there been any recent update for the release date for Great White? 

I would barely have believed it was possible for it to look that good! 

Congrats Capt'!

Yeah, I have to click and save to biew them. 

Heya Capt. do you know if Return 2 Kit Form will be importing these to Australia? I might be interested in a few, but shipping... blah!

Someone tried a few years back... it was a toy bootlegger looking to go legit that apparently pitched the idea before ever getting a license, and then kind of quietly folded after doing some draft work.  I forget the name of the outfit.

They struggled quite a bit to get something that actually looked good.

MAAS Toys. I think someone did a runner with their funds... 

I asked Kitz Concept CS about their Dana 1/12 Figure:

We did not give up to produce 1/12 Dana but we modified the clothes materials to Fabric instead of original (plastic) thus it takes time and delay to release in Jun 2023.

About the MEP Toys' Invid toys, they have been cancelled.

The guy from MEP is going to refund all the orders and later this year have an inventory sale of all the items produced.

What happened? Are they even more sub-standard than the Hellcat?

Kits are almost ready, and I should be shipping later next week.

Excellent!

What batch were you in? 1st? 2nd? 3rd+?

I was in the first 500 batch. My two orders arrived in Australia today.

They included a few little bonus trinkets. 

Congratulations, Captain! It looks great.

As with every question of this sort, the answer lies with you individually, and the customer base collectively. Know that this has been one of the most grueling projects I've had to work on in the last 2 decades, and if there's a re-issue/variation, there will also be a price correction to reflect the stupid amount of work it entails. With that said, If you pay attention to the decal sheet pic in my last update, you'll see that the markings for Yellow are there.

Thanks. That basically means I will be waiting for the female edition. 

Looking good, Captain!

Do you have any plans for creating a set for Yellow, or just his helmet? 

Can he wear the helmet with the doors closed? 

Looking get, Capt!

When do you expect the project to be complete? 

Coming along nicely Capt'!

Is there any recommendations for the onesie/jumpsuit brand to use?

I'm finding red and blue easily enough, but the Lavender color for Yellow's figure might require buying a white one and dying it slightly... 

I wonder how many people will lose interest after reading that the fins have to be attached. 

Will R2KF be distributing this for Aussies? 

You can put me down for three sets at this stage. Thanks. 

So these are basically upscaled Sentinel figures, not upscaled Beagle figures, right? 

If this succeeds would you do a female version?

Looks like you haven't seen @Xigfrid's Vajra build.  

Wow!  No, I hadn't seen his work before. It looks like he hasn't made his 3D files public tho.

Dammit @Perxion, you and @Tober are goading me into buying a 3D printer of my own, aren't you? 

Very impressive design work, guys. 

Yep! They are messy but can produce some great results.

Nice!  Would that mean the next one is a 1/60 Vajra? 

Thanks! I'd need some really good reference for that tho... 

I (FINALLY!) received a new 3D printer to play with, so I pulled this Hellcat project out of digital mothballs. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, even though there is some resin whitening. The main body is aprox 10cm long, so roughly 1/12 scale. There are no joints for it yet tho.
