OMFG That martian ape is the killer dank bomb stupid fat crazy Trooper. I must have! I must have! Gona wait to see a more finished design on the other one before I make a decision about it, I'm on the fence with it now.
Second "proto" sculpt,The afore mentioned underwater looking dude, is a space suit from either an early Toho or Daiei film. Not sure of the title.
Just the painted ones, not to crazy about the clear unpainted. They look great with the paint jobs though.
I told myself I was going to chill out on these, but that new sculpt is really amazing...like their diver mini meets the space troopers...gotta get these when they drop...
It is close but I have seen that suit before. I had a series of Godzilla candy toys fro Iwakura and that suit was one of the main one pictured on the box so I am certain it is an old Toho character.
Yeah, I too knew it looked naggingly familiar. Thought some more about it and found the figure I was thinking of: the 2004 Marmit Natal alien from the 1959 film "Battle in Outer Space". (figure on the far left, photo courtesy of ClubTokyo). And Iwakura (now DBA Cast) also did release the Mu Empire special agents wearing the diving gear shown above from Atragon.
Nice detective work KaijuZoo. Mizaru-1 does look nice painted. Even all pixelated. On my must have list for sure.
Pretty nice. Wonder if the Trooper stands in there or plugs in without the bottom half. And let me do the honors and post a GIGANTIC pic courtesy of Toygraph!
A clear dome would be nice and maybe Toygraph does what Gargamel does with the tanks. Release the UFO with a Trooper in two pieces as the troopers are already articulated at the waist.
this is pretty cool...I'm sure the dome will be clear...wouldn't make sense otherwise. nice eyepatch captain it looks like too...
Just got my Platoon 1 set and a few comments are in order. I love this set for starters. Has anyone noticed the golden emblems in the eyes of the captain to differentiate between the red eyes AZ and platoon captain. Next, is that the biggest friggin header card ever or what ? This packaging just looks haha funny to me for some reason. I also dig the checklist, pretty cool set all together in my eyes.
It is expected of Toygraph to make these flying saucers and other vehicles following the popularity of the Troopers---I think someone said it awhile ago that it might happen soon. Who knows, a whole Space Battle Station might be in the works??
I love the idea of the saucers. Wonder if each figure will have their own or a particular figure has the saucer. If they made them "one fits all" a fleet would look sick landed on the ground with troopers (all the different one's) lurking kinda star trek style on an away mission. I can picture the scene now, man I am excited about this news.
