    "Authentic" or not, the whole entire ass out thing is kinda off-putting.

    Ah, I see, I'll be interested in seeing how it looks with full armor but without the swords, I didnt see a pic of that anywhere.

    Fanservice is a pretty baked in part of mecha musume anyhow, but yeah FAGs does generally take it a bit further than some other lines. Materia proved that early on. At least Stylet and Gourai pretended to have skirts.

    New Brave kits

    Hexa Gear, nothing new just painted pictures.

    INSTANT BUY!!! Wonder if you can put the governor in the chopper too.

    Female governor 1.5 version with bunny mask. This artwork strongly reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell: Innocence

    [​IMG]

    New governor with tactical gear.

    With assault rifle. I think this is the best generic governor so far for giant mechs and vehicles.
    Pawn A1 is good to it looks a bit off with military looking vehicles.

    Armored Core 4 and FA kits are the reason why I still think Koto is the BEST Mech kit maker out there.

    Plastic quality, articulation, price tag and playability, none of that matters once you see a AC4 kit in person :D .

    Yes, the choppa is Governor-sized, look at it carrying that Bulkarm. It comes with an alternate cockpit hatch for a more conventional look. I'm thinking of getting a Governator for it, just wish his pants weren't orange.

    The new Governors are called Warmage. The previously announced Jester looks like and android and now we have a space marine. And you missed the new Bulkarm variant Loud Gale, which is a Glanz-type. Instead of a formula racer, its a dune buggy.

    I think the Arnold governor has green pant version too. The conventional cockpit looks cool too. Glad to know it can fit governor inside.
    Jester strongly reminds me of the enemy in Megaman series while Warmages looks more like spartans from Halo series.

    Hmmm... The Hexa Gear pre-orders go up shortly after a reveal (as far as I can remember... I've been wrong before :p ). A lot of these look nice, thanks for the posts.

    The action hero Governors actually have different headsculpts between the two. The green pants version resembles Brad Pitt while orange pants is just a minigun away from clashing with s Predator. Which is why the orange pants are killing me. Speaking of, totally need a "modern" style minigun instead of the Extra(TM) looking ones with that Para Pawn variant.

    Been working on the companion to my Magical Girl, the Chaos and Pretty Witch. Like Magical girl its fun trying to arm her up, although the stickers are terrible. There's even more of them compared to Magical girl.

    I really like that new megami device pairing of Executioner and Exorcist. Assuming I come out of this pandemic with a decent budget I want this particular pair.

    Finally built the backpack for early type governor
    Now I want the other military looking governors too.

    Compared to the Hidestorm, they seem to be from different eras.

    I believe in the lore they actually are, hence why they're called "Early Governors"




    Have any of you guys built the maximum chungus yet? Its kind of on my to do list but its a heck of a price hurdle.

    Thats a full size Frame arms girl in there so...its size is something to be admired.

    The tonal shift from modern militaria to futuristic sci-fantasy of Hexagear's aesthetic is pretty jarring.

    @Piecewise I posted pics in this thread. I think I've seen one other person who's posted about it. I still have no idea where I'm going to put it but that's fine, I've hardly been in the office since I built in.

    I am a pretty big fan of the hexa gear line in general, but I've found that I actually like the more traditional governers and mecha/ vehicles more than the zoids and knight like stuff. Things like that one fancy bike and spikey haired fellow are a nice middle ground though.

    I built that huge thing as well, and wish I had somewhere to display it.

    Looks cute and great skin tone but the face leaves much to be desired.
