psst! dunno how long it'll last, but sale on Votoms blu-ray at amzn as of this posting... Amazon.com: votoms blu-ray
Well, guess I just couldn't resist it, so I got 'em both. Here be a comparo of the RSC with other 1/*8's... 1/48, 1/28, and 1/18 : Actic Gear, B2Five and DMZ...
Just saw this silhouetted artwork of upcoming Votoms stuff from B2Five posted at TH: 2019年11月1日-3日 B2FIVE參展！ 《門路 X 玩具收藏家販售展秋之祭》@茘枝角D2 Place (11月2日下午3時 劉老師會到場簽名！） | Taghobby.com Standing Turtle, Standing Tortoise, and another Scopedog variant (Melkia, Spacedog, Odon)? Thought it was a Strikedog at first with the obscured left-hand, but the antenna is regular Scopedog. Looking forward to it! edit2: Upon second viewing, the Scopedog-silhouette looks like the Marshy Dog instead of a simple recolor. Seems like b2five's doing an arc-based release-strategy. If so, hopefully they go back and do/release the Purple Bear and Strong Bacchus from the Uoodo arc as well.
Anyone have any good pictures of the back of the Bloodsucker leg area? I picked up a 1/20 conversion kit from it but the instructions are pretty lacking. Aside from having to scratchbuild some new joints for the waist armor, i'm a little lost as to how the armor attaches on the back of the legs and ankles.

yammie 'dogs... still want a TC, but definitely not biting on the scalper-pricing on 'em. Arcadia really oughta (re)start the 1/12 Scopedog line...
Unfortunately, seems like Bandai has a hard-on for HM-R L-Gaim and RD Aura Fhantasm instead. They've been conspicously neglecting HM-R Dougrams, too...

speaking of Chirico, am trying to appreciate this tiny and rather rinkydink 1/28 b2five edition by trying to replicate the old encyclopedia art cover...
