I have returned from the ports of the mysterious orient with my holds stuffed to the bulwarks with spices and silks!
My big sighting on this trip East was the line of Ultraman ships in 1/72 (a bit small for 40k unless you convert to hide scale-specific details) filled with classic retro designs that won't be too familiar to most players.
Besides the aforementioned Ultraman MAT Gyro
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CY42BVQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_9?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A17WMGLSHNJ2LC
There are a few more out:
Ultraman Jet VTOL 1/72
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002J8T372/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_6
A big brother
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BKRQWK8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8
Ultraman MAT Arrow
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BKRQWK8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8
And smaller "Mecha Collection" version, probably 3"-4" maybe Titanicus terrain?
https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-Ultraman-Mecha-Collection/dp/B017JT76TC/ref=pd_sbs_21_1
There's actually a good sized Mecha Collection
https://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=ultraman+mecha+collection
If anyone is looking for smaller vehicles including planes, subs and drills.
And finally there's the Star Wars Mecha Collection, I picked up two Star Destroyers to use for BFG after some conversion.

That might be the box size not the finished model
Ahhh. Good point. So we don't really know the true size of the flyer.

Joy Toy has put out a bunch of new preorders for October through December. Aside from a slew of new infantry squads and individuals (all quite cool looking, too), they are releasing a new mech, the Zeus Machine Armor
as well as three fully articulated and wearable exo-skeletons that come with operators.
I suspect the exo-skeletons may be of interest to some on here for conversions.

1/4000 SDF-1 Macross Fortress Warship (The Movie Ver.)
A converters paradise at a very reasonable price. Could be used to make any number of larger type aircraft for 40k, especially stand-ins for Tau flyers.
Lil Draken + Missile Pod
They're approximately 13.5cm long, no idea on the width. But definitely useful for people who want to use them for conversions. You also get two per pack, so they're pretty cheap to get a hold of. The missile pods (seen below) can be opened up to find a group of missiles, which could also be used for conversions.

HLJ doesn't give a model length but the box is 42.4 x 27.3 x 10.0 cm
so maybe 42cm/16inches?

Ahhh thank you for this! And even if you don't like the constructed style, for the individual panels alone you have an immense amount of workable material for making your own conversions.

1/72 Nazi walker thing
https://hlj.com/product/RCT47002/Sci
And artillery
https://hlj.com/product/RCT47006/Sci
And a combo
1/72 is small but you might get something the size of a rhino or Chimera...
The whole 'Fist of War' a nazis 1947 sort of thing is here:

https://hlj.com/product/max01038/Sci
1/72 Mecha hauler. Too small for 40k but maybe with a new cockpit it can fit into the Adepus Mech or as an IG tank hauler.

Some recent 1/60 Arm Slaves from the Full Metal Panic! series have been produced by Bandai. Really great looking mecha, close in size to a Riptide battlesuit.
They have a more subdued aesthetic than most Gundam mecha, spare the Laevatein. I could see some sweet tau conversions or even Knights, who knows.

The Savages aren't from Bandai. They're Good Smile Company. They're also plastic models, don't need painting or gluing, and are 1/60 scale though. They also have a green variant coming out in January.

$13 for the ultimate terror weapon...
And maybe something for Titanicus?
https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Vehicle-Model-AT-M6-197799/dp/B0776XP2SZ/ref=pd_sim_21_2
really want to get this, but the price is just... wrong. It should under $10, I'm sure it'll get an official US release sooner or later.
