  1. Not according to Sunrise! Since they are doing a lot of fabrics in the Gundam series, it would actually be a cool gimmick to ad the cape in this version of the figure! Then you could pose a Scopedog like the end credits from the original series....🤗
  2. True it doesn't make much sense! but maybe since she is a PS she just needed a couple of shoots for the kill! But I think that's why the gatling gun on the RSC is being feed from the backpack! But it still looks cool! It's the colour that I like the most!
  3. I give up! 🥲😢😭.....😉
  4. Well maybe.... you could finally review and compare the two series, before you get way behind! 🤗
  5. I wouldn't worry about it! The price will come down after the April reissue hits the marked! 😉
  6. Bandai's HG ATM-09-GC Brutishdog will release in June, wonder if they will release the Hi-Metal R version at the same time? 🤗 The colour comparison will be interesting since it will come from two different divisions.... Also wonder what Fanya figure they will use, on the Hi-Meta R version? A repeat from the ATM-09-ST (SA) or the green uniform version?
  7. So it's now 1/55 scale? Wonder where they got that idea? 🤔
  8. I only bought one VF-1 from ThreeZero and honestly haven't even opened it to take it out of the box! Now I'm even afraid too...😱! But It's not the only toy that they made that has had grave issues, @jenius can tell you about his story with their 1/12 V.O.T.O.M line where almost all had issues in some form or another and that's a toy upward of $400 and I believe he had to pay to have it shipped back to China!? I think it should be on everyone's radar that this company has a quality control issue backed up by bad customer service! STAY AWAY!
  9. So now that the Roy Focker GBP is out, who would also want the Maximilian Genuis VF-1J with GBP? Since it's would also would include a yet not released Valkerie...
  10. Something tells me this is not going to be sold for 3,980円 like the original units where either...🤪
  11. Well wish you good luck, hope they send you a replacement soon!
  12. with all the new announcements this week from Bandai , including this, the new V.O.T.O.M.S and Gundam releases, I'm running out of space really fast! 😅
  13. Some more great images of the Tamashii Tokyo store display by Hobby Watch...(Google Translate) The "HI-METAL R Votoms" series will feature merchandise based on the episodes. A corner was set up at the Akihabara UDX venue of "TAMASHII NATION 2025" to display the latest items from the "HI-METAL R" series. All five items on display are from the "Armored Trooper Votoms" series. Up until now, the "Votoms" series developed in "HI-METAL R" has released rival-type mechs based on the concept of "confrontation," with the exception of the first release, "Scopedog Red Shoulder Custom." From now on, this will be reset, and starting with "HI-METAL R Scopedog" to be released in 2026, a BANDAI SPIRITS representative said that they are planning mechs that represent each episode of the TV series.  In addition to the above-mentioned Scope Dog, "Udo Arc" at the beginning of the TV series, "Brutish Dog" and "Scope Dog Melkia Military Equipment" are also being planned. The former is a Perfect Soldier Fianna machine, characterized by its pink coloring and armament equipped on its right arm. The product being planned will be able to be posed by holding it in front and holding the magazine like a stock. ATM-09-ST (Scopedog-Melquiyan Army) The latter is the long-awaited purple Scope Dog of the Melchia regular army, and it also comes with the long-awaited parachute backpack and log gun. The parachute backpack is quite large, but it has been designed so that it can be posed while wearing it. ATM-09-GC (Brutishdog) ATH-064 (Berserga WP) And from the "Kumen Arc," Belserga, which is likely to become the highlight item of the series, is currently being planned. The prototype on display beautifully reproduces the sturdy body, which is different from the Bloodsucker, another H-class AT released in "HI-METAL R." Belserga's trademark pile bunker on its left arm and swampy clung on its legs have of course been designed as movable gimmicks. The metallic gold colour of the ATH-064 (Berserga WP) really makes the unit stand out! Optional armament set for SCOPEDOG In addition to these units, the "HI-METAL R Scope Dog Weapon Option Set" was also on display. This is equipment common to all Scope Dogs in the series, and includes a solid shooter, pentatrooper, shoulder missile gun pod, round mover, and a base with the logo. The solid shooter and round mover have a different coloring than those included with the "HI-METAL R Scope Dog (Space Combat Version)," and are designed to match the normal Scope Dog. ATM-09-ST (Scopedog) February Release The whole display.... The lineup of the "HI-METAL R" "Votoms" series has suddenly expanded. With the exception of the "HI-METAL R Scopedog," the release dates and prices of the items are still in the planning stages and specifications may be subject to change, but we look forward to the announcement of each item's details. (C) Sunrise I'm sure Hobby Japan will soon release detailed images of the three new V.O.T.O.M. on there site.. 🤗
  14. Thanks was hoping it matched the original cover art slight green!
  15. Thanks! Is it me or does the unit have a slight green tint?
  16. It's kind of weird that in Bandai's Hi-Metal R line, at this moment we have 4 units released but 5 known future releases... Released 1 ATM-09-ST (RSC) (Scopedog) 2 ATM 09-ST (TC) (Scopedog) 3 ATM-09-ST (SA) (Scopedog) 4 X-ATH-P (RSC) (Blood Sucker) Confirmed Future Releases 1 B-ATM-03 (FATTY) 2 ATM-09-ST (Scopedog) 3 ATM-09-ST (Scopedog-Melquiyan Army) 4 ATM-09-GC (Brutishdog) 5 ATH-064 (Berserga WP) That's actually pretty brisk even for Bandai and at this schedule we are either going to quickly, run out of money or room! If I look at the two (4 Volume) 40th Anniversary Official setting guide we still have a long way to go before all mechs being completed with the currant count at 126 different Units! 😱
  17. -snip- Thanks @Shawn looks great! and the box as well! 🤗 Got a message from my retailer, that my unit is shipping! So I can enjoy it next week as well...🤗
  18. Guess what was just decided.... 🤣 Five years later......🤪 Kind of don't get (Pending Licensor approval) Since Bandai owns Sunrise they have to ask themself? Yep the The Melkia (Melquiyan) with the GAT-35 & and the ATP-BP1-ST (Balloon Shooting Backpack) 🤔, will be first, probably June! with a side release of the GAT-49min as well as a ATC-BR1-S Round Mover and the SMAT-38 hand missile launcher 🤗 (Looks like Bandai is Melkian'g us for all it's worth!) 👿 Like the new magazines as well! Next time I better be careful what I wish for... since it's going to be an expensive year! 😱with all must have units! 🤗

    1/55's revisited

    I hope they print everything on this one! But I'm in! 🤗 and would be really cool of they reissued it in the original Takatoku box! 🤗
  20. The official page is up for the Chogokin EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather UNIT 22,000円 release in July 2026... for the Chogoking RX 78F00/E GUNDAM Expo. Comes with an extra head.... where is the rest of the MSN-X17 ZEONG TypeMA?
  21. just for info! April reissue.... 😉
  22. Anyone see a review posted yet? Or better pictures of the box art? It's out today right....
  23. Yep, The Melkia with the GAT-35 & GAT-49min as well as a ATC-BR1-S Round Mover in another colour would really be great! Including an ATC-AFV02 Stinger (Hover Unit) is asking too much at the moment! But someday I hope to get into some of the vehicles as well! 🤗
  24. So on November 6, 2020 Bandai showed us the first prototypes of their Hi-Metal R V.O.T.O.M. line so just a couple of days over 5 years ago... Although it toke them some time to finally get the line going, the final product has turned out to be top notch! And having someone who is obviously a fan of the series in charge has really brought out some outstanding mechs so far! I think about a week after the FATTY is released next month, they will introduce us to either a ATM-09-ST Melquiyan or ATM-09-GC Brutishdog since the are polishing out the mould for the ATM-09-ST Scopedog releasing in February, and its cheaper for them too use the moulds for other units in this time as well... (it's just a hunch)!? Also it quite nice to see that a lot of details that where initially shown on the three prototypes 5 years ago are still on the ATM units today. Like the four indentations on the foot locker the four indentations over the visor joints and the panel that is removed for the side armour-ments! The only down side of the series has been the price so far. but some deals can be had if you look around with the ATM-09-STTC going around 16,000円 at Mandarake. So lets see if they will actually do the Uhdoo arc as well someday soon! Well let's see how the next five years shape up! But looking good so far! 👍🏻
