Moderoid Model Series by Good Smile

[danth]

I just started on my first Moderoid, the Galvion Lonely Chaser. I'm a bit bummed it's a parts-former, but I'm enjoying it so far. I'm not a modeler, so I'm glad I don't have to mess with glue or paint. And the pieces snap together satisfyingly.

The Moderoid Voltron and Garland are supposedly perfect transformation. I just ordered the Garland and the Ariel with Flight Unit and looking forward to both. I'm considering snagging the Madox and maybe some others. For the price, these seem like decent values.

It’s definitely a big boy. Lots of cool features included like ratchet joints and wiring details

Basic assembly completed . It is a big-boy!

Those guyver kits look like they crossed over with titanomachia

Oh no a Slaughterspine!

I finally got around to ordering two of my holy grail kits, Iczer Robo and Hagane. I’ve been wanting kits of these for over thirty years, so I’m quite excited!

Moderoid seems to be makin the dreams come true. I didn’t expect anyone to do an ED 209, or a Madox-01 until moderoid, and they’ve got so many more classic franchises as well.

Moderoid Nikick, Olson Special and 1:72 XD-01 Dragonar-1 up for pre-ordered at Hobby Search.

That’s some really cool box art, especially for the economy model. That one would make a great poster

Was in tag hobby this morning and as expected for the Tekkaman linereally looks great, but then something a little less expected And then the ones that I wasn’t really expecting but nearly brought a tear to my eyeFinally Dagger, don’t get me wrong, Axe was a cool one to throw in also, but Dagger really has needed some love since he was the baddie for a while before Evil showed up.

I bet we’re getting more as well eventually since some of these are really getting into the obscure and I’m excited

Now I’m wondering since it seems like they’re doing everything Tekkaman Blade and adjacent, maybe they’ll even do characters from the oddball sequel ova

[electric indigo]

We still need Tekkaman Lance!

Meanwhile, in the Linebarrel lineup:

If they’re doing an oddball like axe, Lance can’t be far behind 

[Big s]

These guys went up for preorder at the usual spots along with Evil. Axe and Dagger are a two pack

[electric indigo]

Hope they'll get to Lance.

If they gave attention to dagger and axe, I have no doubt that eventually they’ll do lance. Dagger often gets left out, but Axe is a really obscure choice.

Anyone hear or seee any news about the Moderoid ride armor?

Just wondering if maybe it has become vapor-ware.

Not quite yet, but probably soon since the preorders for those Tekkaman kits went up a few weeks ago and the ride armor prototype was teased around then. Definitely not vapor ware yet since they keep showing up at shows and in color now. They just teased a bunch of stuff at one time and we’re getting something new each month more or less

Hopefully more pics at the  All-Japan Model Hobby Show coming up.
