Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) 40 MPH. Not bad at all. If they achieve that speed in the production version I might buy one. Edited June 30, 2008 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote
Big s Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 I saw the preorder, but I’m a bit on the fence. With the votoms kits they do an initial release, then an upgraded on a few months later that has a pilot figure and parts for downform. I’m curious if there will be a later release with a riding figure included with this one Quote
electric indigo Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Yeah, the omission of the figure is a serious crime. We need to clone him from the old garage kit. Quote
Big s Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 The garage kit that I remember had a nice figure. I don’t remember the scale for it Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 I think someone deserves a necro thread award, lol. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Someone make a properly scaled figure (Hiro) and we'll be set. I've been wanting these since I saw the movie forever ago! Quote

505thAirborne Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Video of the old Hound 1/20 kit. Two different figures came with this one. Quote
Big s Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 I hope that more of the mono bikes come out. It would be nice if they realized there was a demand for some of the vehicles and oddball mecha from those older films and ova’s from the 80’s and early 90’s. Who knows, maybe stuff like riding bean or maddox are in the near future. Quote

Big s Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 The wording seems confusing to me. Does this mean there will be a figure coming out later or a different edition that includes the figure? Quote
seti88 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 If this was a DX, it would be an insta-insta buy. Quote

It means "Please wait for us to make a decision about this product, because we haven't decided whether to include the figure." Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I pre ordered 3 kits from HLJ last night. If they make the right & obvious choice to include a figure, I'll PO a few more. Quote

Big s Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Has wave said anything new regarding the figure for their monobike Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 I have three of these kits on the way and it's looking very much like no figure is included. Who here will be brave & skilled enough to make a custom Hiro figure? Quote
brooklynmacross Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 I thought I was the only one who knew about this anime Quote

Venus Wars & Cyber City 808 was 1992, back in the day with no Subs or Dubs yet. LOL I think I first saw Project A-ko in 1991 or 92 on VHS via US Manga Corps release. The days of video store rentals.

505thAirborne Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 And they've arrived! Overall the kit looks very good however there is no Hiro figure included, either WAVE will do that as some weird add on option (Doubt it) OR someone with a 3D printer will have to save the day! Quote
Big s Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 I really think they would have attracted more customers with an added figure. Maybe it will be like the annoying way they do the votoms kits and release it in half a year with the figure included Quote

Only took 30 some years for an actual model kit, I guess I can wait a bit more... pending WAVE makes that decision. Quote
Big s Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Wave does like to do reissues with extra parts. The Votoms kits all have had second releases and the starship troopers have had a couple. One command type and another that had chemical warfare equipment Quote

I saw this kit on Mandarake earlier today, while it's long sold out I'd love to see WAVE do this next. Quote
