Big s Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 A smaller 1/48 version of the power doll kit that is designed to be more poseable and a bit simpler to build. There will still be seam lines, but it looks like the c clip joint connections allow for easier clean up and painting. There’s no hand options shown, but those may come up in an option pack since it has connections shown. They also negated the wiring on the lower legs for better movement, but it probably won’t be too difficult to modify it by drilling a few holes and adding your own. just thought I’d add some pics of the old 1/35 kit for comparison. I do think the older one looks a bit better, but it’s definitely more work and has less range of movement. I’m just really hoping this new line does well enough to get more Assault Suit Leynos kits. I wouldn’t mind an easier more poseable kit from that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Man, Power DoLLs is a weird first release to launch a line with. Not saying it's a bad design or anything, just that it lacks a bit of star power to really bring in attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's a bad design or anything, just that it lacks a bit of star power to really bring in attention. I kinda thought it was an odd one as well. Plum seems to have mostly video game franchises, so they pretty much have a limited group to pick from as far as classic mecha video games and since they already did a couple kits from Power DoLLs, they probably didn’t have to do a new license. previously they had mecha kits from the Assault Suit franchise, Cloud Breaker and Power DoLLs and maybe only space ships from a few classic shooters from what I remember, but who knows, maybe they’ll get some new licenses for this new line. I’m always curious about a new line of mecha model kits and hopefully Plum has learned a few things from their older kit projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 If this line will help expand the Valken/Leynos lineup, I will gladly support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my big hope. I really love my assault suit Leynos kit, but it was a lot of work and is a bit clunky and I’d love a newer somewhat easier one that would have better articulation. Not only that , but some of the bad guys in those games looked great too and I’d really love kits of some of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 i figured there’d be option sets coming, but it unfortunately doesn’t look like extra hands are included in these option packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
