I really am glad they are bringing back the arctic gear line with new items. I can't wait to get that strike dog and I'm also curious about other releases. 

With this and hmr from bandai doing macross and dougram along with those new minipla trading kits, it's a great time to be a fan of classic robots.

1/48 scale is really just too tiny for any of the Votoms mecha...

Blaspheme! They're definitely not for everyone but I got mine dirt cheap and think they're a ton of fun. If they can get us those missing ones I'll be super stoked. Too bad they're not AGN but hopefully that means the price point is attractive. Take me to a preorder!

Hope they bring back Dual Model Zwei, too.

I never even thought to dream of such things but.... that'd be amazing. Honestly though, with today's tech they could do even better at that scale so if they go that root I hope we get a full DM3.

You meant DMD? Dual Model Drei. ;)

But yeah, would love to see a new Votoms in 1/18 since 1/12 is too big for me. By the way, Jenius, how big are those 1/48's? Thanks!

Actually, I went to your site earlier to check that one and I noticed that there was no size so I asked just in case you remember how big it is in real life. ;)

Looking forward to the updated scale sizes soon. :)

I understand some people don't like the small toys, but the arctic gear figures pack so much detail and articulation into a tiny package. They're great for the collector with limited space and they're awesome for people who do dioramas. I always wondered if someone ever made a table top game using them as playing pieces.

They also display great with Yamato 1/48 Valkyries.

Good point. Now you're making me want for a 1/60 Votoms (6.34cm). :rolleyes:

Is it "Arctic Gear" or "Actic Gear"?  The Japanese katakana pronunciation is closer to the latter and even the placards spells it in English without the "r". Just wondering... was the line at one time called Arctic but now is Actic?

If Bandai ever delves into VOTOMS within their H-M R line I'll be in so much financial trouble...

Me too. I think HM-R size is perfect for Scopedogs. :rolleyes:

 

So how big again was 1/48 scaled Scopedog?

I'm going to have to review some soon... been looking for a reason to play with my votoms toys again. 

Looking forward as always for your reviews, Jenius. Let me know when you're going to open your 1/12 soon so I can ask the stickers again. ;)

 

And on the other news. Volks showcased their 1/24 Snapping Turtle at WonderFest 2017. I'm assuming 1/24 is a good size like a 7-8 inches figure?
