  10. Bandai just released the official information for the Hi-Metal R Scopedog ATM-09-ST Melkia (Melquiya) Forces version & weapons option set to release in June & July. HI-METAL R SCOPEDOG (MELQUIYAN FORCES) Release: June 2026. · ABS, die-cast and PVC action figures · Overall height: approx. 165mm · Set contents: Main body, 3 types of replacement wrists (left and right), GAT-35 Long Gun, ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Backpack, parachute parts, Pilot figure, set (1 type of replacement wrist (left and right), pilot stand, spare antenna. · Price: 24,200 yen (incl. 10% tax); 22,000 yen (excl. tax), shipping and handling not included! · Scheduled to ship in June 2026, Publisher: BANDAI SPIRITS. While preserving the Scope Dog’s exceptional range of motion, this release retains its signature built-in mechanisms, including arm punch functions, gliding wheels, and turn picks, along with numerous gimmicks that allow for realistic landing poses and pilot boarding and disembarking scenes. These elements combine to deliver both dynamic action and mechanical authenticity, now presented in a distinct Melquia military colour scheme and the "GAT-35 Long Gun" can be held with both hands thanks to the movable main and sub-grip. In addition, the movable scope allows for a shooting pose that synchronizes with the head turret lens. The imposing Long Gun is enhanced with clear parts for the scope and muzzle, adding visual depth and realism to the large-scale weapon. In addition, the "ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Rucksack" comes with three magazine parts and two parachute parts, and the parachute storage compartment can be opened. It is also has a folding gimmick, making it possible to use in the landing pose. From "Armored Trooper Votoms," the "Scopedog ATM-09-ST Melkia (Melquiya) Forces" is now available in H-IMETAL R, featuring a body with distinctive colouring and a set of new large weapons, the "GAT-35 Long Gun" and the "ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Pack." Two newly sculpted large weapons, the "GAT-35 Long Gun" and the "ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Pack," are included. The GAT-35 Long Gun, a large energy weapon, not only has movable main and sub-grips that allow it to be held in both hands, but the scope itself is also movable, allowing it to assume a firing stance that synchronizes with the head turret lens. The ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Pack features three detachable magazine parts, and the parachute storage compartment can be opened or closed. Parachute parts that can be attached to the side skirts are also included. It maintains the excellent range of motion of the Scopedog itself, with multiple extension mechanisms in the arms and multi-axis joints in the legs and neck, allowing for dynamic action even when equipped with the GAT-35 Long Gun and ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Pack. The Parachute Pack's midsection has a hinge, allowing for landing poses with the kit attached. These weapons can also be equipped to the "HI-METAL R Scopedog" (sold separately).

    Have you been drooling over your chunky monkeys again? ðŸĪĪ Seriously, try a sponge file, it's a soft fine file that can be bend and is very finely grained!
  14. Roy wants more toys for Christmas! ðŸ˜ą
  15. Hobby Japan Web, Has a small article on the Hi-Metal R Scopedog releasing in February, showing everything that is packaged with that unit! comparison of the Red Shoulder Custom tray It was kind of a given that the package would only be halve the size of the units we are used too. Still ordered one to complete the collection! Looks like the gun-tray rests under the main tray and we get another great piece of Tenjin artwork! and got a good price to boot. ðŸĪ—
  16. Sad news.... Thank you for using Premium Bandai. We're pleased to announce the shipping start date for pre-ordered items. (This email will be sent only once, even if you have placed multiple orders.) Shipping begins on Tuesday, December 23rd 😭 HI-METAL R Fatty Guess we will have to hope for a different kind of FATTY 🎅🏞 for Christmas ðŸ˜Ē

    Ja, there is really no need to discus a toy wich may or may-not be releasing next year! Bandai loves to show products wich end up coming out 5 years later! Example: DX-Chogokin GBP-1S Roy Fokker or Hi-Metal R ATH-Q64 Berserga, although they have gotten more consistent in the V.O.T.O.M line...
  18. New Macross Encyclopedia from GA Graphics, coming out on the 15th March 2026

  22. If you choose DDP the retailer will pay for all duties and taxes! If not then you have to deal with you're lokal customs office and pay all the fees yourself!
  23. It was shown in the Battle Ring scene where also the Purple Bear was shown. I think episode 4 (Battling) ðŸĪ”
  24. (Tomy) Toyr!se is releasing the Brown Colour AT in the T-Spark series, from the original series in July 2026! It's a colour I also would love, if Bandai releases it in Hi-Metal R version! ðŸĪ— A yummy looking unit almost good enough to want to eat! ðŸĪŠ Love the colour and detail for 1/48, sadly I'll stay with Hi-Metal R for now and hope this gets done from Bandai as well!
