Kind of reminds me of the main character from the Robots animated movie - think its just the colour scheme.

Very cool though.

$350 ouch!

Nice but is it that nice?

that was my thought exactly

Get some large robot kit and a 1/48 military truck kit and you should be able to kitbash something similar for a fraction of the cost.

Exactly, and maybe you'll have some fun as well!

In the words of a Japanese man, "Aie-yyaahhh!"

Definitely saving that picture. Cool, but oof. $350? That's a bit steep. How big is it, and what material did they make it out of?
