Interesting, looking at this I assumed it was another re-release of a starship troopers miniatures. (marauder perhaps?) But I guess I am wrong.

I would love to have it in a bit more active pose, other then that it looks rather awesome.

I am guessing, to to top of "head," not including the arms, 50 (+/-) mm?  Just eyeballing the (assumption) 15 mm figure in the last picture picture and guessing three plus soldiers tall.

Gracias,

Its a metal/resin jobba, legs are metal, rest is resin, i believe anyhow. May have changed.

Apologies for double post.

Hmm...clever...metal legs would give it nice balance, and a suitable table top "thump" to appease most of us...hmm.... lol

Yes, that's our basic reasoning. :-)

I think it's about 56-58mm tall to top of cockpit. It comes with a bunch of different pieces including multiple shoulder weapons (heavy antimaterial missile tubes, massed anti-personnel rockets, and the general purpose rapid fire cannons shown here) and two different arm sets so it's fairly posable.

The rationale for it is it's meant as heavy support for the SPAR teams (special ops) of the federal navy so the bipedal legged configuration is often helpful in support. This mecha, the SPAR teams, and their infantry fighting vehicle, the Cheetah, will all be released shortly. 

I think it would also come in very handy as a massive robot in 28mm scale -- the same size or bigger than the CAIN robot in Robocop 2:
