There’s always a pre-order or pre-order news to link to, and yesterday there was plenty. One note regarding 3A’s Portable Adventure Kartel figures, I contacted BigBadToyStore about the arrival date. When I posted yesterday the listing was mid March, and then later in the day it was listed as 3rd Quarter (July, August, September) 2014. For those of you holding off on this set due to the already expensive March month worry not, most stores like BigBadToystore won’t charge you until the product arrives and is in house. BigBadToyStore also listed some of the set as singles and some are already sold out. Go! Order today! The 1/6 Cherry Bomb is pictured below, and there is a 1/12 version in this set. Personally I want Cherry Shadow, but I’m just happy to be getting some cherry.
3A Toys also announced that the long awaited Meat is Murder set will be for sale March 14th this year. That’s a few days away. the Meat is Murder set was originally released as a 1/6 scale set and is now being released as a 1/12 Action Portable set. Included is JEA Grunt, JEA Dropcloth, JEA Armstrong, JEA Square mk1, JEA Square mk2. Except for the Grunt all the figures were released in previous releases. For those that missed out those releases this is a great way to get some of the figures. Specially the Armstrong which has been hell to get at a reasonable price on the after market. For anyone that is wondering if they should get into 3A Toys’ World War Robot portable line this is a perfect introduction kit, it will be expensive but entirely worth it. The Dropcloth is still one of my favorite designs and while many a persons do not like the Armstrong design I love it. The long arms and the short legs crack me up, I take the backpacks off my Amrstrongs since I make them terran and not lunar related, which cracks me up more thinking about these bots walking around.
I’ll be skipping this set, I have all the figures except the Armstrong and I’m hedging that I’ll be able to pick him up as a single later on. I am bummed about the JEA Grunt, he’s the only Grunt, besides M.O.D., that I want to army build, if he is sold as a single I predict about 5 landing in my house. I continue to hold out hope.
In other “3” news ThreeZero announced that FullMetal Ghost will ship. Have I mentioned how excited I am about this mech and figure before? That means I’ll be having a big giant love fest over this figure soon and I have no idea how to photograph this monster 18″ mech! But I am excited! Check out this article for more about the mech designer Kunio Okawara.
Finally, Bluefin Tamashii linked this on their facebook today, check it out. It’s stop motion animation using S.H. Monsterarts AvP Drone Alien. That’s some serious love.
