Wow guys thanks for the help! I haven't seen the show since late 1980's so haven't even seen the two OVA's and Movie, getting them on Blu-ray is pretty expensive with the series costing $600 , but I'm looking into other options....

 

 

I didn’t see the show until getting a bootleg in the late 90’s. Although I’d seen odd kits and toys in odd shops here in the U.S. since the 80’s and was always fascinated by the designs. The ova and movie releases I think were and maybe still be on one of the oddball streaming services like retro crush. Might be worth checking into because a free trial might be totally worth it.

HMR Fatty and Bloodsucker at Tamashii Nations are welcome to see! Bloodsucker will go great with that LRS TC! 

The bloodsucker is still my favorite armored trooper. It’s kinda like if Votoms crossed with Darth Vader

Don't you just hate it when they tease us with "Display Only" makes me want to fly to Japan and break all the windows at Bandai's head office...👹

Although who ever decided to produce the FATTY over the Bloodsucker needs to have his head rearranged! 🤪

Might still be an early prototype!? Hopefully they still have time to work on it...🤔

I’m pretty sure it is just the prototype. It looks a bit rough here, but I’m pretty sure it will get smoothed it and more than likely have a cockpit that opens.

Takara has shared images of their new Scopedog (of course Red Shoulder Custom) as part of the Toyrise line – "Actic Gear" is back!

We will see more of this at the T-Spark event next week.

I saw that they’ve been teasing this the last couple days. I am curious about how much this version will differ from the later Scopedog releases from the actic gear line

I love the AG line, looking forward to this.

Tag hobby showed off another one for the new line in purple. It’s kind of a basic one, but has a few weapon options. Hope the line does well. 
I couldn’t get back onto their site to copy the pictures since we have no power and the internet is pretty bad right now due to the wind and fire risk. I’ll try and add some if someone else doesn’t beat me to it

Hmmm.

Looks like a snap model-kit.

Maybe a Moderoid / Wave / Bandai-HG kits killer.

Definitely different from Actic Gear, as the old AG bots have actual metal screws for their knee-joints and stuff.,

Incidentally, what is the scale of the Bandai HG VOTOMS kits?

Sorry to hear that, I'm in S. Pas and it's been pretty scary. Good luck!

Thanks, but we’re not in any immediate danger up here. Just that the electric company isn’t taking any risks with what’s happening in other areas and these mountains can’t go up in flames pretty quickly. We’re just going in the dark right now with no power and bad internet connection.

Hopefully you all will be ok. I know that when we had the fires encroaching from the arrowhead area a couple months ago that it can be very nerve wracking. Normally, I’d suggest an app like watch duty that shows the conditions of the wind and local fires, but without the internet it doesn’t load well.

 Don’t know, but with a name like “Toy Rise” I’m pretty sure they’re action figures. But I wouldn’t mind little model kits.

Was able to get those pics for the purple guy. Definitely some interesting weapons that usually get over looked. I couldn’t find any rear pictures to totally identify the backpack and I don’t know if there are any other included options IMG_3101.jpeg.af156bda2fe9d2486de7851ce892eabb.jpegIMG_3102.jpeg.63365f8c86d0785e5d8e962c35feaac3.jpegIMG_3103.jpeg.4924f65c13e3fab0e16b91107fb5c267.jpeg

the toyrise description seems a bit vague

even with those discounts, these are rather expensive for an updated "AG"...

 

Some of the later AG figures were pretty close to that price, I get the feeling that these are a bit of an upgrade. Not to many toy lines would throw in individual missiles for those launchers, especially as small as they are.
