    Apollo and Argus are both back up for Pre-Order on BBTS.
    Locked mine in for Apollo already. There's no way I'm letting this guy pass me by again.

    Yeah, I canceled my first pre-order I had through BBTS because they hit at a time that I had a lot of stuff to pay for, but I really should try again to get these guys.

    FYI, these are both available on BBTS again. Considering how quickly they sold out the first time around, it may be wise to get them while you can.

    So, my Argus arrived the other day.

    He's just chilling while I think of some good poses for him.

    Ah yes. I got Apollo in last week. Very fun. Very pose-able. Pretty much exactly what I expected.
    I love how easily everything moves as well. The tolerances are fantastic. No overly tight joints to hassle with. And he looks natural in all the poses I've put him in, too.
    I'll need to try and remember to snap some photos of him. Really happy with the purchase and can't wait to see what else in down the line.

    ... I think he needs a dog.

    Any idea what future releases might be? What enemies there are?

    Am I the only one disappointed that Athena and Artemis aren't buff like the first two?

    I think I’m disappointed in general. They don’t look to have the same aesthetic at all, let alone the hefty chunky charm of Apollo.

    I mean we’ll see how they look in color, I’ll at the very least consider picking up Artemis. I want to support new IP and independent designers. Athena is very likely a pass though, sculpted robot hair is gross imo

    Man, I feel like I should'a held off. The weathering looks nice.

    As for Artemis and Athena... No thanks. I liked Apollo's ape-ish look. Not really adhering to human proportions. The two lady robots just look like... Lady robots. With wings.
    Though if they could replicate The Song's design from the game Furi, I may have to jump on it. But that's unlikely to happen.

    I love my Argus and Apollo, I like Apollo slightly more though.
