  1. beat me to it. as such, unless Wotafa's original has decolored, the new one's coloring is indeed a bit different..
  2. The US Blu-Ray release was quite discounted to around $40 at amzn a year or so ago. Maybe they'll re-issue it, Or even better, maybe they'll actually license the recent remastered JP blu-ray version for release outside of Japan. One can only hope...
  3. Dunno about Unit-numbering. Prolly a mook thing. At any rate, going by the anime canon... The ATM-09-ST Scopedogs are specifically meant to be generic grunt machines like the GMs in Gundam and the VF-1A Brownies in Macross. Many characters pilot the ATM-09-ST in the series (TV/OVA), whether they're primary or secondary or even mostly unnamed military or Battling arena mercs. Chirico is the main character in the series, so he gets to pilot several variants of the Scopedog. The HMR RSC is especially customized and piloted by him in the TV series. However, the HMR TC variant that just came out was from the OVA called The Last Red Shoulder, and it was rebuilt from scraps collected by Gregore and used by his old squad that includes Chirico. Inciidentally, the HMR TC variant have four pilots by strict canon: Gregore Byman Murza Chirico Unlike the RSC, we can only guess that Bandai did not want to produce four distinct helmet-less pilots for the TC. The upcoming Space Dog variant is also from the TV series and has two pilots by strict canon: Chirico and Fyana. For now, only Fyana is shown as the upcoming pilot figure for it. It'll be really interesting if Bandai sneaks in a helmeted Chirico figure with it to stay canon. I reckon the reason why Bandai interestingly teased the HMR Space Fatty (B-ATM-03) is because Chirico piloted one in the TV series for his duel with Ypsilon. Heck, he also piloted a Zwerg (X-ATL-01-DT) in the TV series. That said, there are many other ATM-09 variants and non-ATM-09 variants that appeared prominently in the TV and the various OVA series that Bandai may or may not produce an HMR of. Hopefully, this HMR Votoms line does not go the way Bandai treated the HMR Dougram line...

  6. oh, goody! Wotafa's started building the 1/8 Hachette kit!!! (Wonder what happened to his Hachette Great Maz build.) vols 1-4: Wish they easily offer this kit at hlj or something...
  7. my lone HMR TC arrived, and the unpainted green plastic is indeed a bit darker the the RSC: I'll have to get my other TCs to do some comparos prolly this weekend...

  9. no Wotafa vid, yet, but here's another unboxing and handling video of the HMR Turbo Custom Scopedog with a rather really nice electronic background music. Yeah, his bgm is cool and kinda soothingly addictive...
