Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2024 3:43 pm
The Fujimi Company of Japan teased a Berg Katse mantis plastic model kit a while ago, but did not mention there was going to be a whole line of Tatsunoko models planned to go with it... Now, coming in May are five Tatsunoko kits, two of which will be Gatchaman-related. Here is Fujimi's flyer showing the kits:
Here are close-up pictures of the Gatchaman kits
Ken (Rhinoceros Beetle)
Berg Katse (Chinese Mantis)
The additional kits are from the series, Casshan (Stag Beetle), Polimar (Stag Beetle) and Tekkaman (Rhinoceros Beetle). Each kit is molded in multiple colors and no paint or glue are required. They are also said to be super-posable once assembled.
The Gatchaman/Polimar and Casshan/Tekkaman kits can be pre-ordered in two packs right now from Amazon Japan. The Berg Katse kit is being sold on its own. These items will ship internationally. Here are some details, with links direct to the pre-order pages:
