I'm not sure they will even do another Kong at this point  But with all the upcoming slick new kits, not having a new IK variant in the pipeline hurts a little less. I'd love to see a D-Style Kong, perhaps even more than another HMM version! |

I'd say that the SS has a better chance, since Koto already has all the necessary extra parts for it. Although they are coming out with the Hyper-Beam Launcher for the Dark Horn Harry, they would still need to design a new CP-11 to make the PK feasible.

Berserk Fuhrer? They're trying to pull me back in, aren't they. I may not be able to resist that one. The inevitable Liger Panzer will also be quite tempting. They sure are taking their time coming out with that one  |

Considering how militaristic the HMM Tortoises ended up looking, l can only imagine how amazing the HMM Fuhrer might look. I just can't wait!!

Some thoughts along the "let's make lots of money reusing parts" logic.
HC-Dark Horn + Iron Kong = IK-PK variant
BF = Sturm Tyran variant
Oh, and in a Hobby Japan magazine blurb, "HMM Gojulas Decided". So there you go.

IDK, there have been quite a few Zoids that had been"decided", but then failed to actually materialize...so I am still a little sceptical on the Goj at this point. I don't know if anything that would be THAT expensive is gonna sell real well |

You have to be realistic about your market, too. Koto specializes in expensive model kits... I would trust a release from them before any hearsay about "the market" that floats around. For instance, do you mind if I ask how much detailed high-end sci-fi model sales data you've accumulated for the sale of a Gojulas? Not to be snippy, but they have people on staff that are paid to know what sells, where, and how much, before they begin to draft anything on a computer. Maybe we'll see a Gojulas, and maybe not, but if Koto sends a release to Hobby Japan saying, "yep, we've decided to do one!" you can bet their reputation is hanging on it.

Not to be snippy, but I don't think you are anymore of an expert on Kotokubiya's marketing plan than I am.
I was simply stating my thoughts on an HMM Gojulas release, at no point did I claim my feelings were 100% gospel fact. Contrary to your belief, there IS a price point were people will simply not buy any particular HMM kit. I make no claim to know exactly what that price point is, but that does not mean it does not exist.

Not to be snippy, but I don't think you are anymore of an expert on Kotokubiya's marketing plan than I am. Hence why I deferred to Koto's announcement as evidence of the company having done its own research; I'm not claiming to be an expert, I'm quoting[\i] the expert. I'm really not meaning to get personal about it, and I'm sorry if I came across that way. I just get tired of fans ringing the death knell all the time... ("Zoids is dead, TT has given them up because of Transformers and they will NEVER come back!"(even though they have come back with Robostrux, Technozoids, NAR, and NJR... this time it's really the end!!!!))
I would rather enjoy a great announcement without baseless mud being thrown at it, you know? My life can use more great announcements these days, and less mud.
Sorry, stressful week. |

I do believe the Academy kits have been chugging along nicely, so I can't see how anyone could say that traditional TT Zoids are dead. Far from it from what I see.
OT: I'm sure the HMM BF will be a BIG design.
