jenius Posted January 31 Posted January 31 He's the one with the damaged shoulder right? Love that they're giving that to us. Quote
treatment Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) fwiw, both the older 35Max and the relatively recent AG-V20 Actic Gear set had the Broken Shoulder part for the BloodSucker as a removable extra option. Edited January 31 by treatment Quote
jenius Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Been a long time since i handled those! Maybe I'll drag them out when this arrives. Quote
grogall Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) More pictures of the B-ATM-03 FATTY, still in prototype phase... And a picture of the new space, Scopedog and pilot.... Love the weapon 👍🏻 I hope they fix her hips 😱 For Comparison purposes... Edited February 1 by grogall Quote
jenius Posted February 2 Posted February 2 They're cheaping out on those legs so bad. It couldn't take that many more parts to get rid of the big seam down the front. Quote

I guess it depends on how accurate they wanted to make it. They’d have had the redesign the panels quite a bit, but it would be a way to have no seams. This is still a prototype, and they’ll probably be less noticeable than they are here Quote
jenius Posted February 2 Posted February 2 They should do it exactly as they did on the scopedog. Quote

The calves are separate and the knee caps as well, while the fatty is one piece in the art. They’d have to do a redesign on the knee and lower part of the legs. Quote

Big s Posted February 2 Posted February 2 1 hour ago, jenius said: Oh, the fatty leg splits open? Nah, that’s just a limitation of toy manufacturing. To get the piece out of the mold it usually needs to be at least a two piece mold. You can get around that for a design like this easily in model kits, since the builder can fill in the seam. But in a toy it’s a tough design to get around unlike the scopedog lower leg design. Quote
treatment Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Bandai already made a 1/20 Ground Fatty, so it shouldn't really be that difficult nor challenging for them to adapt or implement such leg mechanics on the HMR variant. Quote

I don’t think it would be complicated at all, just they’d have to change the design a little. If they did it like the kit, it still had a seam in the middle of the lower leg, but they did a separation line around the knee cap that wasn’t in the design. It would definitely look better though since the line going straight through the knees look odd, especially on the right leg with the step Quote
jenius Posted February 2 Posted February 2 The thighs would be easy to make four pieces with the seams on the side like they do on the Scopedog. The center of the thigh should be one piece and the sides should be another. The knee can be molded as one piece like a toy ring with pegs that go into the lower leg. Then they could use that same trick on the lower leg that I mentioned on the thigh for everything beneath the knee. Maybe they would need two very small seams on the side of the lower leg above and below the side panel but that's nothing compared to the giant seam down the front. If there's no mechanism needed in the lower leg, it seems like getting rid of that seam would have only cost them a few additional parts. Quote
grogall Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I think we are still a year away from the B-ATM-03 FATTY release, If the release date for the X-ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker is October/November we might see this March/April 2026.... The might do some other colour Scopedog versions in-between like... But again Bandai likes to make us wait (Torture) us. 😡 Quote

It looks rather rounded and would probably be tough to do a two part mold. I think splitting it into three would be easier. Two halves on the outside for structure and the kneecap attached at the front like with the kit Quote
grogall Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Looks like Bandai is working in their a new DX Chagokin series in 1/12 scale.... hope they get the articulation to be more accurate...🙈 🤪 Quote
