Now get to work on those Quadvees! [whipit] :D
You & your frakkin quads!!! lol
Also, if you guys notice (a couple already have), the Kurita 3145 Mech Pack has 2 special variants in it...
The Shiro 2P & Hitotsume-Kozo 1P!!! I confirmed with the folks at IWM, the Rokurokubi is the one that is currently available. So we get 2 special variants, a new release, and one that's already out.
As far as the Ares & Poseidon, I'm VERY happy Sentinel did the modeling for this mech. This was an important release, not just because it's a Con Exclusive, but because it's the big bad boys of the RotS and they needed justice done to their sculpts.
I don't know if I had any leverage in this one, but I talked a while with Mike & Melissa at IWM about doing ALL the variants of the Ares and include the Poseidon as a bonus since it's the same basic chassis. I hope whatever info & images I was able to provide helped them make that decision. I'm not looking for any thanks from anyone on this as I honestly don't know if I had any sway in that decision.
What I'm trying to say here is that if we speak up as a community about variants...we just may get them!
