Can anyone figure out what that is in the upper right, just above Astroganager? couple of post above (same page) you will see we found them all lol Yeah I mostly saw that. That kind of vague roundish thing in the upper right corner is the only thing I could not match up to your lists. I was just curious. I'm always fascinated by the Korean bots, but so rarely see them.

Chinese New Year is tomorrow (well today over there given the time difference). So my guess is it won't release until some time after the new year holidays. I think we'd be lucky if we see it by end of February.

The monster bird is from Babel II, i believe. He is one of his three pet / minions of the main character. His name is Rope-Ross or something like that...in Korean pronounciation.

The bird is from Babel II. The Hero has three semi mystical or alien companions. A normal sized black panther, the giant Rodan type thing and the robot Poseidon. So it likely comes with the Poseidon robot. I can't see there being that much interest in the bird alone.
the diorama is just carved foam with some plastering over the top. They are not hard to make or to make look good. Woodland Scenics sells kits to make that sort of thing, but once you know how all you need is a couple of bucks at Home Depot. You take a couple of pieces of 1-2" foam insulating board and glue them together. The blue or Pink foam panels. Then carve or shape them with a serrated knife. Then give it a layer of plaster cloth (cast material), paint more or less roughly and sprinkle on some greenery.

im lazy i want one thats ready to go lol If you have the time just do it as a side project. there's tons of videos about how to make one in youtube. You just have to bring all the stuff you need and then you can start, and customize anything you want. I'll have to make a small one for my godzilla soon, and it will be fun. also because you like taking pictures you can add the builiding the one you already have with some new ones like this for example link or this link etc... back to topic.

I'm more curious about their hybrid carbon materials and how that works out? I'm not sure I see the point of it, as it works against the actual economics of die cast and plastic to begin with, but I am curious at the results.

form what i understand its the industry first figure to use hybrid carbon materials and according to other member's this materials is used in bicycles, its also used in cell phones covers to protect it
so i guess the hybrid carbon is strong and durable

But unless they are using it in some way in the jointing (which I don't see working very well.) It seems rather gimmicky to no real benefit to the product. They use it in bicycles because it is light and strong. But that is a valid reason for increasing the cost of the bicycle. By reducing weight while increasing strength they increase the bicycles performance and value. But for a robot toy? It increases materials costs and production complexity and I can't see the value Add for the delivered product beyond bragging rights. If they were looking to strengthen jointing I would think they would be use an orthopedic grade polyester instead? I'm just curious to see what the final outcome and result is. I would love to know the reasoning behind the materials choice, or even if there is one beyond "it sounded cool!"

At first I thought it was Poseidon, but the colors and the skirting is wrong. That should be a straight bluish silver with a sort of egg shaped body.
