From the little I've seen, their artwork is great. They donated some posters to a prior RJ summit, and the quality was superb!

Is that a finished sample?
Do you have any info like release date, MSRP?

Not fan of the design but quality and engineering is top !
I remember the teasing of Armarauder about the combo play with other models... Hope this line is still keeping those features.

This toy is expensive but the extensions/add-ons will make this line a great "play set". Next release should be the back pack-wings.    |

Wow! One of the coolest robot figures I've ever seen, though I don't really collect Gokin or other Japanese toy categories. Time to start saving.

Far too late for a reply, but I just got Bellerophon at a steep discount and am super-excited to finally have it.

Just found it on eBay, apparently undisplayed for a little over $150. I'd been following this guy since late 2015, planned to wait for the gunmetal version and kind of forgot about it when that never came. It popped up in my followed searches and I knew it was time!
I agree that marketing was a little poor with this, and the price-point is high for an original line. Of course I'd call even retail reasonable for the sheer amount of stuff you get, but $240 for a totally original figure is a lot for most folks. It's a real shame, because they clearly released this with future accessory packs in mind. Forget about all the accessory-mounting points; the entire arm assembly comes out and it's begging for some kind of oversize rail-gun attachment. Maybe I'll 3D-print one.
Curious as to what makes the design unoriginal--I'm not super well-versed in mecha, but I found this look to be very fresh compared to the normal hard edges on a Gundam.

Compared to Gundam maybe, but to me this looks like another Masamune Shirow-derived design like the Landmate without any of the charm. Maybe that was intentional on Don's part since I know for sure Shirow has been a big influence on his style, but it feels too sterile as a design. |

Sterile is right, honestly. Some weathering and damage would give it some character but the plain white isn't my favourite. I thought the gunmetal paint and skull motifs would make it a little more unique, but it seems we'll never see that version now
