Have a gaggle of Both and happy to sacrifice a few for 1/12 Scouts. Didn't know about the Breetai though. Only recall the one a few years back custom made. Give it a try and let us know how it works out. In my personal experience, kit bashing makes sense if there is a specific part that you are looking to use on something different, or if there is a frame that you are going to remove parts from and replace with your own parts. In the case of the Matchbox Invid, it's pretty much all shell pieces that are screwed together. Since it looks like you're talking about replacing something like 3/4 of the shell pieces, I suspect it makes more sense just to do a new one from scratch. Something like a Kotobukiya frame with custom parts attached to it might be a good starting point. Quote

With all due respect, I don't think either of you remember what an Invid Eager looks like: Basically, nothing whatsoever like any Matchbox toy. Quote

Oh I know this is the correct image. As I stated the Matchbox Scout looks nothing like this. However for decades we have used it as the Inbit Eager with our 1/18 lines. Quote

My matchbox scouts are really just smaller molds of the same trooper carapice without the attatchment slots for the shooters. True, they are not anime accurate. Quote

No old Matchbox toy is worth kitbashing, especially on something that large and costly. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 As a kid I wanted Robotech New Gen mecha...mainly Invids more than anything! Gakken had the Alpha's covered! I got (and still have) two purples and a pink. I always wanted Matchbox to do the Enforcer and the Royal Command Battaloid (Corg's). Imagine how cool and huge those would have been in 80's toy form!

I think you meant the soldiers. Weren't the Enforcers big ones, same as the Inbit Garmo/Gamo? I think that Sentinel is using the same basic figure design as 1000Toys does for all of their 1/12 stuff (if someone knows otherwise, please correct me). Considering the variants that have been put out, modifying that basic design to fit Blame!, Biomega, G.I. Joe, and assorted Kamen Rider-style characters, it doesn't seem like a stretch to use it for a few different color variants of the soldiers/Protect Inbit, too. It just depends if they believe there's a market to justify the new add-on pieces. Quote

This is known as the Invid Malar: And yes, now that Sentinel has produced two fantastic 1:12 Mospeada figures -- and will be producing at least two more -- I'm sure it's the perfect time for a new Moscato resin kit (since the Southern Cross projects are indefinitely on hold).

JetJockey Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I'm looking forward to seeing what shows up at Wonder Festival for Mospeada in a few weeks. I hope some company is working on civilian clothing figures for the team too. Quote

That's why I'm waiting patiently. Quote

Scale unknown. ...There's also this Which I guarantee will be better from both a scuplting and casting perspective. I remember just a few years ago some people came to me with Wonderfest kits they paid through the nose to get, and the castings looked like stuff that should have gone in the trash... But magic Wonderfest sticker, so totally worth it. Quote

adugifever Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Hello! I've tried searching the entire thread and searched for similar images via google but couldn't confirm that way: I'm searching for more info on the MOSPEADA VR-052F on this photo. It didn't look like the Gakken 1/8. Can someone please confirm if it's one of the Imai/Aoshima model kits and if so, which particular scale. I can't read the Japanese text either and perhaps a translation would help narrow it down. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer. Quote
tekering Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Looks like a prototype for the 1:15 Imai kit. Imai often used that "Real Type" slogan in their marketing. Quote

SuperHobo Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 WOW the legioss looks so much better in color and I hope all of those markings are printed on. Double jointed elbows, deep ankle tilts, I'm getting all excited over here. Quote
