It says Good Smile in Japanese on the card.

Here is the bus kit on their site.

1/43 scale and has a die-cast chassis.

Thanks for that Kilkrazy...and for well over $200 aussie dollars I am out again.

Still looks ace though.

Okay, good! I was worried, there!

It's no wonder that these figures are similar to GW's if they're both ripping off Starcraft.

I'll grant they're close but they're too short and the guns are all wrong. Marines should be a head taller and have longer guns.

Hahaha, this thread with the announcement of those Japan only collectables. You guys are killing me! XD

Stop.

Everything.

1/1200 Macross.

No not a mech from the show, the actual ship, the SDF-1. It's a METER tall with 200 LEDs.

I can't find a picture online, this was the best screenshot I could get.

Looks about right for a true scale Primaris 'counts as'.

Will depend on price though...

God. Damn. Want.

Eh, it's no 1/100 WSC Jagd Mirage Twin Tower from Five Star Stories...



The full kit?


It's 2 meters tall!

Hey that's not a bad deal, it even comes with 2 fishing rods!

Some official images of the child-sized Macross are out.

Maybe y'all will consider this heresy, but that looks like a very promising Imperator Titan conversion.

Kotobukiya was at a convention this weekend showing off new robots.

new Frame Arms kits.





new kits for their new 1/24 line, Hexa Gear





new Modeling Support Goods kit, would work well as a 15mm scale fighter.



Something I've been hoping to see for a long time, the Raftclans from Super Robot Wars.

Which game were the Raftclans in?

I can't even remember anymore. It sounds familiar...

You know, I don't even know. I just know it's from one of the SRW games. I'd imagine one of the Original Generations, maybe?

Raftclans is from Super Robot Wars J for GBA (incidentally, has been fan translated!). Reappeared in Moon Dwellers.

I must say those original Kotobukiya designs are getting better and better! Those new Frame Arms and Hexa Gear mechs are looking really slick.

Ok, I need this, where and how do I get it?

Thats a pretty awesome design, like a nightmare version of a Zoid.

All I know is, if I can get my grubby little hands on one, it's going to be a Mechanicum something.

Okay, this looks really 40K appropriate! How big it is and about how much will it cost?

All I can tell you about Hexa Gear is that it launches sometime in August (though not those particular kits) and that it's in 1/24 scale. The octopus mech and the bipedal robot don't have release dates or prices yet. I would expect them to release sometime around December or so since Kotobukiya usually puts preorders out well in advance.

If only someone would just stand a classic monopose Space Marine next to it for scale!

I know you're joking, but I could provide that at least with the Hexa Gear figures once they're out. It might give you guys a better idea of the scale of the vehicles.

Keep in mind though, those Hexa Gear vehicles are fully modular, so you should be able to build whatever you want out of them, regardless of intended scale.

I guess it was Summer Wonderfest this weekend, so that's why there's these new reveals. Max Factory had a few new Dougram kit prototypes to show as well.

Mackerel, which I don't think made it into Battletech, but was in the Robotech Defenders comic.



Roundfacer with its tracksuit, er, I mean "camo suit." Not sure how they're going to pull this one off.



Blizzard Gunner, which I see being a very popular kit.

IT'S CALLED A SCORPION!

Oh the diving suit and Blizzard tank are very sweet.

And yes, I do remember it from the 2 issue Robotech Defenders book. The blue-skinned chick from the water world piloted it.

She died.

Very sad.

Only slightly. That suit is really cute, so I do want to know how big it is, whether it's Terminator / Dreadnought / Dreadknight-sized.

Is there any more information on the modular part? To me they look like finished models, if in fact they can be recombined lego style this is really exciting news.

The Mackerel seems to have served as inspiration for the Ghoon from Gundam SEED.



At least it looks like it to me. Don't remember that design though. Getting old I guess...

Do you remember the BLOX subline from Zoids by any chance? Hexa Gear looks reminiscent of that series. These pics should give an idea of the degree of modularity to them.





You can see a partial breakdown of one of the kits here. All of the dark grey pieces should be the same as the ones above, which means lots of little bits and pieces.



Here's a taste of what can be done using some pieces from the expansion pack on one of the kits.



It also looks like through the use of an adapter, the Hexa Gear parts will be compatible with their Frame Arms and MGS lines.

I also found additional pics of the Bulk Arm Alpha (the biped) and the Hide Storm (octopus) on Kotobukiya's website, spoiler'd due to size.

Bulk Arm Alpha



with pilot


Hide Storm




and no, Kotobukiya does not mention the sizes of these two anywhere on their site.

The scale was given as 1/24 (so a person would stand ~3" tall), and that picture shows the pilot.

I take it to be about 7" tall, roughly the same size of a 1/100 Gundam kit. That makes it roughly comparable to a 40k Knight, minus the giant shoulderpads. It is quite a bit bigger than I had expected - I had thought it to be less than 4" tall.

Now that looks like a fantastic Knight stand-in
