VOTOMS

[Yom]

I haven't found a thread about votoms figures.
So here it is ;D

I start with the best line to me : the 1/18 DMZ from Takara :

DMZ-01



Link : cms.or.tp/~gamu/goukin/dmz/01/01.htm_

DMZ-02


DMZ-03


DMZ-04


And some 1/18 stuff :





And now, the 35MAX votoms line from Max Factory (1/35) :








The 1/48 Takara line :








I haven't put the 1/12 and 1/144 lines. You can add it before i do it. I'll try to get more pictures of all the lines.
;D
I hope this can help Votoms Collectors

quick note on the 1/48s- with a little paint, they display GREAT with 1/48 Macross Valks. Cheap nowadays too.

Thanks for starting this. definitely very informative!

BTW, my apologies for hijacking Yom. But, do you have that Dalek? Is it Remote Controlled? How do you like it?

i like the votoms with missile rack and the pilot with the motorbike.

Great to see a Votoms thread!

If any has any questions on these toys, fire away!

The DMZ ( Dual Model Zwei ) are highly recommended. Have the first two and the third, Space Assault version, which comes with Fyanna, has this very day arrived in stock at Hobby Link Japan. They are quite expensive although cheaper but more "realistic" than the 1 / 12 Scopedogs released by Yamato.

The 1 / 48 Scopedogs have sold well and Takara are releasing a retooled version , AG- Next ( Burglarydog being the first model ) which features more opening compartments and finer details. The big news in this line is that the Standing Turtle is about to be released. The line has been predominantly filled with Scopedog variations bar the Diving Beetle and the Fatty and a few of the larger scale transport vehicles. Recently Takara have been doing some dioramas to go with these figures.

I really like these and although smaller than a Star Wars figure they are packed with detail. They have moving parts and an opening cockpit and tiny pilot figure.

The Max Factory line with the Standing Tortoise and Bloodsucker pictured above exhibit tremendous quality. Max Factory's trademark excellent paint and tight but non brittle joints are all there BUT the cockpits do not open. This is quite a big deal for me. It takes a lot of the charm away from the Armoured Trooper as the pilot / cockpit interior is one of the most identifying features of the mech.

what i like about these robots are the detailed cockpits. i hope to see more detailed cockpit pictures.

Hey, you forgot the 1:12 Yamato 'Dogs ;D!

I've heard a lot of good things about the 1:18 Takara Dogs. Would like to acquire them someday if I have extra cash to spend.

Supposedly, CMS is going to release a 1:18 Zerberus . Check this Toybox tread here:
toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,162153

(Just copy paste the whole address if the link doesn't work).

[demizer]

Good resource, could you give a scale pic.maybe for the Yamato Melquiya Scopedog?

[nikodiablo]

Just for information, CMS Corp also releases Votoms merchandise. I believe their Votoms line is based on the Blue Knight Berserga Novel. These items are made of ABS - PVC, stands about 15cm tall (that makes them roughly about 1:25 scale? - need someone to verify), and looks really good.

Here are some pics from CMS official website:
Death Messenger:


Blue Knight Berserga


Zerberus


Shadow Flare


Calamity Dogs (Red Vs Green version)


A Testa Rossa and a Funny Devil is also in planning.

The famous 1/1 scale brutishdog

Man, start being tempted to get Chirico's ultimate machine... the Rabidrydog. While I still love the good old scopedog and try not to dig into Takara's 1/18 line. This one is getting harder to resist, especially I never owned a Rabidrydog before.

[Yom]

To me, the hardest to resist would be a 1/18 Standing Turtle ;D
I really like the design...
