New news here. Looks like $20 is gonna be the new standard for non-crap 18th figs, dammit. $80 for the VS is doable for one of each, but not armybuilding like we want.

No idea who this guy is, but he's gonna make for a great villain:

And this bike/mech is new to me. Do want.

Anyone know the game know how this thing operates in vehicle mode (and what its name is)? All I see contacting the ground in vehicle mode are the walker mode's soles and shins. This thing a hovercraft or what?

Looks like it is suppose to be the GTF-13M Evax, which converts to a snowbike.

Row seven (after following the initial link) seems to show this vehicle rising from the ground to walking stages. Scroll through the pics.

Side note:
Also the Vagabundo looks interesting too...

Yeah, it's a walker that looks to be comparable in size to the Acid Rain Raptor quad bike/walker. I'm wondering how they'll compare/contrast with other, and how this Evax gets around in snowbike mode. I need to see the rear end, to know what its forward propulsion is in snowbike mode.

iirc It is jet powered, with the exhaust nozzles on the back, kind of like the Batmobile.
This also gave it a 'boosted' jump ability, in walking mode.

The coolest thing about thing pic is how Nevec is holding the 'Baller's main gun, imho. It shows Toy Notch is mindful of playability being a significant factor.

In the game you could wield the VS weapons, very cool that they planned that ability for the toys too.

Yeah, it's a good indicator of their mindset and standards, hopefully.

Nice li'l Q&A with Toy Notch over at Fighting 1/18th.

Man do I hope they get to do their second wave.
I REALLY want some of those Snow Pirate Elites!

Got some clarification from Toy Notch that it's the Evaxthat will be $80, not the Hardballer as I'd hoped: https://m.facebook.com/ToyNotchToys?v=t ... 4805751656

They haven't announced an MSRP for that yet. I gotta say my desire for this Evax is greatly diminished by a doubling of what I'd had my heart set on it being priced. Alas. I do greatly like 'space arctic' and do def want one, but I could see me risking the wait for a sale for this particular item.
