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.

Saddly I do remember BLOX. Ugly designs and the blox had a tendency to ware out and get very loose after only a few months, this looks like a vastly superior set up.

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...

I suspect the Zok from the original Gundam was the inspiration for both.

The Zok is a four letter (technically 3) word between Barzam and myself for the abuse I suffered at its stupid beam cannon across multiple Gundam games.

Zoks. Goggs too. Z'Goks, Hygoggs, and Kapools as well.

Would you accept an Acguy?

How about a Zssa?

Despite the Acguy carrying a mega particle beam cannon, I've always considered it more of a ground combat type than the typical amphibious/ aquatic suits that carry them.
Plus any suit that does kung fu is a thumbs up in my book.

Zssa missle swarms I can handle.

It's those beam cannons that tend to get me.

I be that octopus mech would probably have a beam cannon...

So the FA-010-S is a no-go for you?

Oh no, don't you bring Double Zeta into this conversation!

Highlord Tamburlaine, it may (or may not) please you to know that I can also totally rock the GHOON and ASH in Federation vs. ZAFT.

And don't nobody be knocking my man, Acguy. He's the baddest of the bad. Stealth capabilities, modular weapons, heavy armor, and highly maneuverable. That thing is not to be trifled with. They made them even more awesome in Gundam Thunderbolt with their kitbashed, field upgraded Acguys.

Fine. I'll just leave you with this:


I understand it was designed by Rob Liefeld.

Feet are too big to be a Liefeld

Not sure how big this will be but it will be for sale for $20 on Amazon in February to support the new Pacific Rim movie next year. Apparently comes with swappable arms, including a chain sword.

But it's standing on them en pointe! Could be!

Ami Ami is claiming 170mm for that Gipsy Avenger. It also comes with another weapon, a "gravity sling", which might be some sort of gun.

about riptide size then?

170mm is roughly the size of 1/100 scale MG Gundam kit.

Anyone own these old Gundam tanks? Depending on size, they could be useful.

Looks like this is finally out!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WDIP872/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_47?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A21FUU2CQE8DO6

$70 plus shipping







1/32 so it should be a good size for 40k and other games. And apparently some upgrade kits are in the works.

Holy crap, it even looks like a 40k model.

Die cast? I was wondering about the price as I've seen the other ships but thought they were plastic.

The back of the box mentions needing glue for assembly, so I'm leaning toward plastic.

Front of the box says "plastic assembly kit"

The amazon link has it under Die Cast? I didn't look at the box. But the price was much higher than I've seen the other ships for.

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

Turns out this thing is a sound system! Amp and speakers all built into it and at about 3 feet tall. I have not seen a price anywhere yet but it will have to be crazy expensive.

Just to note on the raptor I don't see it on the Moebius site yet, so I'd say be careful...

Love the raptor but it's way too pricey at $85 after shipping. How big is it? would it be a good proxy for something like a stormtalon (or whatever the smaller SM flyer was called...)?

The Raptor can be preordered from Amiami at ¥6870, so that's a bit cheaper.

My guess is pretty big, there are two 1/32 scale (roughly 54m) pilots visible in the cockpit. The box is 13" x 7"

The description on the back of the box does say the finished kit is 12" long. So, too big to serve as a proxy for a storm-whatsit fighter.

That's neat but the price is a killer for me.
