Looks like ThreeZero is releasing a heavy weather version in the Robo-Duo 25th anniversary line... Looks interesting but not sure if they improved the quality over the 1:12 version!?

And we seem to have a new Scopedog coming in from Bandai, not sure if it's a rerelease yet!? BANDAI SPIRITS has announced that it will be releasing a figure of the "HI-METAL R Scope Dog." It is scheduled to be released in February 2026, priced at 17,600 yen. This product is a commercialization of the "Scopedog," the official main AT of the Gilgamesh Army developed by Melchia from the anime "Armored Trooper Votoms," from the "HI-METAL R" brand, which pays homage to the "HI-METAL" series by renewing its components such as "transformation/gimmick" and "composite materials" with the latest technology and rebuilding new products. While retaining the appeal of the finished "Scopedog" - which allows you to enjoy the landing pose, the pilot riding on it, and the action during battle - the product has been commercialized with a new look, including die-cast joints and plating that emphasizes the metallic feel. Pre Order Aug. 1st. 2025 - Release February 2026 Price: 16,000円, 17,600円 Including 10% Tax "HI-METAL R Scope Dog" Size: Height approx. 165mm Materials: ABS, die-cast, PVC Set contents Main body Interchangeable wrist parts (3 types each for left and right) Heavy machine gun Kiriko figure set (1 type for left and 2 types for right, interchangeable head part, figure pedestal) Spare antenna *So no side armaments, just the GAT-22/C (This might be a precursor to Hi-Metal R expansion packs)!? 🤔 Honestly it looks like the first release but with less accessories.... no red shoulder etc. (Edit) *It is also possible to attach weapons that come with existing products sold separately. Google translated text... "Scope Dog" from "Armored Trooper Votoms" is now available as part of the "HI-METAL R" action figure series. While retaining its excellent mobility and gimmicks, it has a new look with die-cast joints and plating that emphasizes the metallic feel. Equipped with "arm punch" extension, "turn pick" extension, "turret lens" rotation, and visor opening and closing gimmicks. The included "heavy machine gun" can be changed to a short barrel state by replacing the barrel. In addition, a movable "Kiriko" action figure is included, allowing you to recreate landing poses and pilot boarding scenes. You can fully enjoy the "charm of life-size weapons" expressed throughout the series. BANDAI SPIRITS has announced that it will be releasing a figure called "HI-METAL R Scope Dog." It is scheduled to be released in February 2026, and will be priced at 17,600 yen. This product is based on the Gilgamesh Army's official main AT "Scope Dog" developed by Melkia from the anime "Armored Trooper Votoms." Based on respect for the "HI-METAL" series, this product is a product of the brand "HI-METAL R," which follows the components of "transformation/gimmick" and "composite materials" and renews them with the latest technology to rebuild new products.

Well my Bloodsucker has lift-off and will arrive Monday! 🤗 Really looking forward to this AT, My first one that isn't a Scopedog... To this I wan't to say that it's great that we finally have a company that is not stuck in a "Doggy Dog World"! 😉 Something that always bothered me with the old Takara or even Yamato was it was only Doggy AT's and nothing else from the series glad that Bandai is really trying to do a good job developing other mech's in a high end series and this Bloodsucker and the FATTY really look great!
-
Working for me! 🤔
-
Could be interesting! What is Toynami's quality so far? Hope they make a "D" 🤗
-
Another YouTube review incase someone missed something! 🤪

-

-
Well it's out! 🤗 Looks Fabulous! 😉

So according to P-Bandai the release of the ATH-P-RSC Bloodsucker is on the 17th... I'm pretty sure the package for the ATH-P-RSC Bloodsucker and B-ATM-03 FATTY will be deeper then the normal Scopedogs!
-
Thanks @kajnrig & @mog_kupo For the help and info on the RX-78 Gundam, Its still quite confusing since it's such a large range! So my best bet for now would be the rerelease of old Bandai's RX-78 in kit form to get the classic look, I already ordered the Metal Robot Spirit version from Mandarake but found out after there are at least three different versions available 🤣 -
Instructions are up for the Hi-Metal R Bloodsucker, so release is imminent!
-
Are the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Gundam's 1/144 scale? So smaller then Metal Build or Chogokin Gundam's? I was looking for a RX 78 Gundam that is close to the original model released in the early 80's and came across this version! Is there a 1/100 scale version of this figure? Thanks!
-
So I resieved two more Chogokin Gundam's this week, the Chogokin Gundam EX (Requiem for Vengeance) and the Chogokin RX-78F00/E But was wandering if anyone heard any rumors if Bandai will release the Glass Feather Backpack for the Chogokin version?
-
So we have another V.O.T.O.M Mech Month and we finally get a high quality none ATM (AT)! I'm really looking forward to see how the Blood-Sucker turns out! So I hope everyone has there squad of STTC at the ready, Because its going to be a blood-bath! 😈 And nothing survives! 😱

Hobby JAPAN has released more detailed images of Bandai's Hi-Metal R FATTY showing of what parts are metal and some of the opening as well as joints! I must admit that it's somewhat amazing what Bandai has done with this mech! Shows that they are taking their time to give us the best available... Also Hi-Metal really means Metal in this series 🤗 I will work on adding and cleaning up the translation soon!
-
Bandai will be rereleasing the HG Expansion packs 1-6 in September!
-
One observation which I hope Bandai fixes before production starts is the front barrel part of the G-BATM-04 Catapult Launcher should actually be the turquoise colour of the FATTY, wich it actually was in the prototype stage! But for some reason they changed it to black in the final version!? should be changed back! But one thing that is really cool is the panel that's under the FATTY's seat is also present on the model! 😉
-
Did anyone notice that the Hi-Metal R B-ATM-03 FATTY is marked with a US release? I think it's a mistake since none of the other units where released in the US But maybe Bandai will surprise us? 😱 Also have some scans of a book with some detail on the B-ATM-03 FATTY that might be of interest! Enjoy!
-
Added additional pictures and translated the banner on my info-post on the B-ATM-03 FATTY
-
I'm sure we will also get a ground (AT) FATTY eventually! But as far as I'm concerned they can keep this line coming! Looks good so far! 🤗
-
Now that we got the FATTY out for pre-order I hope we get an announcement around October on a different colour Scopedog unit! Because you can never have enough colours in your collection! 🤗

You ever going to review the series or what? 🫢
