New KNT Toy To Be Made?!

[Veldaxx]

I concur, your Excellency.

Really awesome to see you here again after such a long time, Sir.

Please, Mecha.......Call me your Excellency Mr. Veldaxx.

Just kidding.

But on a serious note, I wish they would just reveal the model. I myself really need a KNT model fix.

There have been lots of delays in the production/release of this line, and the most recent show displays have only included the currently available figures (Goshugun, Jeeg, Getter 1,2, & 3) and the next one set to be released (Godam), omitting several of the previously-displayed prototypes (Tekkaman Blade, Gold Lightan, Dancougar, etc.). So it isn't looking good, but all we can do is wait and see. I've been trying to keep up with the latest developments, but there isn't much to be found.

[Veldaxx]

Never the less, I thank you for keeping tabs on the situation. A bit of news is better than none at all.

So once again, thaks felineki. Let us know if anything devlopes.

[felineki]

And actually, it turns out that there has been yet ANOTHER delay that I hadn't found out about. The 3 Getter figures were supposed to be due out in February, and as far as I knew, they had been released. But they haven't, they've been pushed back to May. Goshogun and Jeeg are the only two actually released so far. And Godam's currently scheduled for "summer" release.

[felineki]

Yet more delays! The Getters have been pushed back again, to July. And Godam's apparently scheduled for August. Still no word on anything after that. Came across an archive of a Futaba thread from a few days ago where this line, it's constant delays, and worries of cancellation were being discussed. In particular, one poster speculates that the Teyandee figure might draw a lot of demand from people who otherwise wouldn't be interested in the line at all.

[felineki]

It's been about a year since that initial display, and yet still no more information it seems. The Getters have been delayed yet AGAIN, now slated for September release, and Godam's still due to to come out this month. The biggest news with regards to this line is that there are now apparently Saint Seiya characters planned... but still no word on the previously displayed models (Dancougar, Tekkaman Blade, and of course whoever they were planning from KNT).

Well in my first dream last night, I found a bag of small SPC figurines. But, damn it, even in the dream I was robbed of my moment of bliss, as after I purchased them I realized I was dreaming.

I blame Inception. Lucid dreams have been an extreme rarity in my life. But I've had three ever since watching that awesome movie, including this one. The too good to be true nature of finding those figures brought me to the conclusion that I was dreaming, that even though I could crinkle the plastic of the bag, those figures weren't actually mine.

My second dream, if you're curious:

I was Sylvester Stallone, I was racing a bunch of people in a big-ass truck. I managed to make it to third place near the end of the race, then my truck flipped over inside a tunnel. Then someone lent me their motor bike, so I was like, "Yah I'm still in this". But then I crashed the bike too. Ended up cutting my finger open, exposing the bone. And some doctor guy runs up and is like: "I need to mend this or it will get badly infected." I felt my health was better than winning some race.

[felineki]

Gordam has finally been released (but the Getters still have yet to be), and painted prototypes of Dancougar and Tekkaman Blade have been displayed, along with three new Gaiking prototypes: link. Still no news on KNT... but at least it's looking like the line isn't completely dead yet.

Thanks for monitoring the news for us, Felineki

[felineki]

BIG NEWS! Photos of the figure have surfaced, and a release has been scheduled for August of this year.

[Purrcat]

Looks nice!!

[Violet]

They really went all out to do the full mega armor.  I'm sure that will mean a higher price, but it will also make it more appealing to the mecha fans.

[Pizzacat]

Guys even more good news!

Was just shown this by an acquaintance....yet again 2 more new and different figures...Well one could be the current mega armor Speedy, but look a Catatonic =D

[felineki]

Wow, I'm surprised they're making a new Nyagoking/Catatonic figure! It looks much more dynamic than the old one, which was very boxy and limited in flexibility. Very nice find.

[felineki]

Here's another ad for the ES Gokin Yattarou. It's due for release in December, priced at 4800 yen. Looks like it includes interchangeable faces.

[Violet]

There's already a few for sale on eBay, coming out of Hong Kong & Canada.

[felineki]

Looks like this store is taking preorders. They also have a larger version of the ad I posted earlier.

EDIT: Another store taking preorders.

And another.

One more.

An eBay store.

[felineki]

Some more pictures of the figure have surfaced. If the "PC" in the "PC-01" series number stands for "Pizza Cats", then I suppose there might be more to come...?

[Blackcat]

Has anyone here bought one of these toys?

[Mechadon]

Are these out now? I can only think of one place in Toronto that might sell or be able to order one of these.
