That figma is expensive but here is someones comment between this and the Riobot version:

To the people complaining about figma Tsugumori being too expensive here are a few thoughts to consider.

>it costs as much as the Riobot!
At normal AmiAmi discount the Riobot was $90 shipped, the figma will probably be closer to $60 shipped. The box is stupidly large on the Riobot, although it is a pretty box.
>Robots are out of Aspy's comfort zone it'll probably suck!
It's actually sculpted by Keita Yagyu. Also look at the engineering closely. New joints and so it's probably more expensive to make as a result.
>The Riobot will probably have better articulation and engineering!
I own it and can tell you right now, the engineering is disappointing for a Riobot. See the pose in the picture I posted? Riobot can't do it. The shoulder range on the Riobot is trash so figma has it beat there and also hip range from the looks of it. Not sure how the other articulation stacks up but better shoulders alone make it worth the purchase to me.
>The Riobot looks better
Debatable. It's a repaint of the old version which means it has several inaccuracies sculpt wise that the figma fixes to be more anime accurate.
>The Riobot has more stuff
Sorta true. The figma trades off the absurdly long cannon (not even fun to use IMO) and alt weapon hand for a guana core part and an extra extended piece for the backpack. Some may see that as a waste but I prefer the smooth extension piece without track slides on it. Also it's not clear if the figma is going to get arm blades for both arms.

Some other positives worth noting...the box for the figma will be a LOT smaller and cheaper to ship. The figma is slightly taller. The Type 18 and Benizusume are also coming so will make a kick ass display for the really big Sidonia/Nihei fans out there. Is it expensive for a figma? Yes. It's not a standard figma though.

figma Vehicles - Girls und Panzer 1/12 IV Tank Ausf. D "Finals"

Release Date: Sep-2015

The first ever 1/12th scale model of Team Anglerfish's tank! Rolling Out!
From the popular anime series with a film coming this Autumn, 'Girls und Panzer' comes a 1/12th scale model of Team Anglerfish's tank, the Panzer IV Ausf. D. The model comes prebuilt (unpainted), and also comes equipped with twin motors allowing it to drive it forward! The model faithfully preserves all the proportions, details and characteristics of the CG data used in the series.

The turret can be rotated and the main battery can be moved up and down allowing the tank to take careful aim. Various hatches around the tank can also be manually opened and closed. You can even easily display figma Miho Nishizumi and the other members of the Anglerfish Team riding inside the tank!

Pre-assembled Electric ABS Model
Scale: 1/12
Size: Approx. L490 x H220mm
Required: AA Battery x6 (separately sold)
w/Marking sticker

Now this will be interesting when it does arrive, how much postage will be for this? The tank itself is L490 x H220mm and the box as well all know will be larger so if you preorder it, it may be for once more cheaper to get it from the GSC website as they have 2000yen EMS postage compared to places such as AmiAmi and HLJ.

Good to know, thanks v_76!

I really like Nihei, especially Biomega.
