captain america Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone, In light of Sentinel's 1/12 Mospeada releases, I wanted to see if there would be demand for a 1/12 HELPER CRAB (Protect Inbit doppleganger) model. I figured this would be a logical follow-up to the Motocycle Freak accessories set, and provide enthusiasts the ability to have an enemy mecha in scale with their bikes. Here's what I'm thinking: -resin-cast free-pose figure, possibly designed to work with aftermarket ball-joints -Clear sensor eye unit -Separate beam weapon and shield which can be mounted on the forearms or the back -Roughly 18cm tall -Will include fuel soda pack -Priced at about 300 CAD (From February 19th onward) Go!

teckno viking Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I say Yes, I'm in. More so possibility of Revoltech joints adding articulating to this. Quote
tekering Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 As usual, the Captain is right on the ball. 18cm (7 inches) will be the perfect height. My PayPal is ready. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 As much as I wish I could, I just can't. Hope the project gets the green light! Cap will make it a winner! Quote
Bolt Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Sweet! Will be following this thread closely.. Quote
Convectuoso Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Good luck with this project, Cap'n. Unfortunately I won't support it, since I don't have the Sentinel ride armors and it would just tower over the rest of my collection. Quote
teckno viking Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 So Cap. The eye your proposing is clear lense over resin eye piece as shown? If so Awesome. Quote

Correct, though it remains to be seen how much detail I'll be able to capture at that size. I have at least 2 ways to go about it. Quote
Boobytrap Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 If you get enough people interested what would be the time frame? I would definitely be in for this but wouldn't be able to swing it financially until March. Quote
Perrych Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I am in. I have all your other Invid so need the complete set! Quote
atoyer Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Oh I'm in. Wife is going to hate me but I'm in for one. Quote

Based on how fast the interested parties are chiming-in, I can probably start taking downpayments by the end of next week. Life comes atcha fast! Quote

I would remind everyone that's $300 Canadian dollars, which is only $226 USD... or, in my case, ¥24,724. For any limited-edition garage kit of this size, that's a fair price... For a Moscato Hobby kit, with all the accuracy and detail our erstwhile Captain is known for, it's a bargain! Quote

captain america Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 Looks like 17 so far between here and FB. Quote

captain america Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 Looks promising so far. Still trying to think of a little goodie that I can include with the first run. Quote

captain america Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) We're at 21 so far. Let's get this project to 30 orders so I can begin the sculpting process. There will be a secondary bonus for those who pre-order, but that won't be revealed until the orders are filled. Edited February 4, 2019 by captain america Quote
cool8or Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 As I said in FB, I'm in. Also consider 1 aditional kit to my friend Rodrigo Briones. Quote
