I reckon I'll grab two of the Madox kits and the Zeorymer. Was so hyped when i saw there was going to be a madox - anything! Would have liked a toy, but an official (cant remember if there were official merch's even back i the day..) plastic kit (as opposed to resin) would suffice, after what, decades(!?) I do hope good smile goes all out and releases the Madox-00 and the tarantula tank too!! pics from http://www.gearsonline.net/series/madox-01/ good smile really making me smile! 4 hours ago, Big s said: The madox kit is the one I’m most excited about, but Robocop 2 Cain , the powerloader and the stuff shown for Patlabor are all must haves as well Yeah! a nice powerloader kit for all sorts of customisation possibilities! and the labors too!

Oh it’s the best anime in the high school romance category! If you ask me the dude shld have gone with the mature chick...Also comedy too...there is this chopstick scene.. The mecha is just a backstory. So-so. Not even a true robot. There is someone inside the ‘robot’...meh.. Edited January 15, 2022 by seti88 Quote

seti88 Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) More photo's at taghobby: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/594709 hmmm...some v quick thoughts on the model... 1) thigh armor is supposed to face forward. Maybe on rotation joint and not rotated front enough. 2) head area surrounding visor looks a bit on the large side? Or is it not recessed/flat into the armor enough? 3) chest armor needs to be wider.... Edited January 15, 2022 by seti88 Quote
electric indigo Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 So is there actually a connection between the upper body and the legs? Or does the driver have to carry all the weight? Also, no butt armor? Quote
Big s Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 No butt armor, but the rear thruster hangs low. The thigh armor should connect to the knee joint and has a very small connection at the top the lower torso that is supposed to carry the top heavy weight of this thing. I have a feeling that the kit will leave out that joint to keep things poseable. It’s a very unrealistic looking joint from all the pictures I’ve seen, but with a bit of anime magic works somehow.

Big s Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I preordered it earlier. Yeah, that explains how he went to the bathroom after being trapped in there for almost a while day and only having junk food and soda Quote

I wanted to pre-order initially, but the proportions are just making me say hmmm....that being said, the rarity of this mecha .... Quote
Big s Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I think the proportions aren’t that bad especially with some of the scenes being a bit wonky. And you’re right about the rarity. I’ve only seen garage kits and a super expensive action figure that at the time I couldn’t afford Quote

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 4, 2022 Author Posted March 4, 2022 I placed my order for 2 kits at HLJ, totally stoked. Those promo pics make the parts look quite rough, no? Quote
Big s Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 The promos still look like they were using 3d prints. Some of those level lines were showing. I’d imagine it will be more smoothed out later and the fit will probably be tighter Quote
MechTech Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 I was glad to FINALLY see an injection kit coming out for this!!! It's been how many decades? Cool stuff coming out this year! The parts do look kinda rough, but like Big S said, they are 3D printed. At least we're looking at the print instead of 3D artwork guessing what the dimensions will look like. By the way, no butt armor means you don't get swamp butt from sitting in it all day!😄 - MT Quote

I don’t even have a space to work on it currently, but super excited that it’s heading here. I think they quoted me for Friday, but they’re sometimes early, so maybe tomorrow. Either way I’m really curious about the build and will probably thumb through those instructions several times Quote
Big s Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 It came a day early. It’s a pretty good sized box. A lot thicker than I thought it would be Quote
electric indigo Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 So what's the appr. scale of that kit? 1/12? Quote
Big s Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 8 hours ago, electric indigo said: So what's the appr. scale of that kit? 1/12? I think it’s maybe around that. I don’t see a scale listing for the box, but I’m guessing from the size of the human upper leg that it’s close to 1/12. It’s too small for 1/6 and too big for 1/18. But I’m taking a guess from an unbuilt kit. Quote
Big s Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 That’s a nice build. The scratches don’t look out of scale like a lot of gundam kits and I like that the modifications are at a minimum. The figure also helps with a sense of scale Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 1, 2022 Author Posted October 1, 2022 That's a fantastic looking Madox! Quote
MechTech Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 That looks great! I wonder what scale that figure is? - MT Quote
Shawn Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Found the instructions here click the PDF https://www.goodsmile.info/ja/product/12405/MODEROID+MADOX+01.html definite buy Quote

It’s too small for 1/6 and too big for 1/18. Let me take the guesswork out of the equation, gentlemen: It's not even remotely close to 1:12 scale. 🙄 In fact, it's not even big enough to display with 1:18 scale figures, as I'd hoped it would be... 😐 This animation reference drawing indicates a height of just over 2 meters, which means the Moderoid model (at 118mm) would be roughly 1:18th... ...but promotional images (and indeed much of the animation itself) suggests they'd decided to scale it up a little, which is why other online stats claim heights as tall as 2.4 meters. These figures are about 1:20th, and I think that establishes the Moderoid at the same scale. Opinions? Quote

It's a terrific little kit -- more accurate than previous model iterations -- and it includes a lot of additional parts for optional display, including open "wings," exposed verniers, and different arm and weapon combinations. My only caveats are the legs (which only stay attached until you try and reposition them), and the generic pilot head (who is clearly not intended to be Koji). 🤨 Quote

But I think they should have included parts for the accidental pilot as well. Quote

Look at all the Patlabor entries or Brain Powered or Obsolete or Escaflowne or even Robocop. They’ve been surprising me with the near completion to each of those lines of products. Who knows, there may even be a kit for that tank from the end of the ova Quote
