Pilgrim_UK Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 One of my fave anime films from many moons ago was Venus Wars.. (Who remembers the Manga UK intro trailer) I posted this some time ago. It is now being release by Wave in 1/20 scale. At a very reasonable price. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10796354 I can now do that girlie squeal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim_UK Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Quote Hopefully you'll do a WIP? I will have to get it first. 😀 I waited 4 months for my last kit from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Is that what that is? I've seen it being taken as pre-orders on HLJ and thought it was a M.Ka kit of some description. Unforunately, Manga UK are not more, the borg of the anime world Funimation have taken them over. Kind regards, Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Apparently, Wave is considering a driver figure to round off the awesomeness of this release! https://www.hobby-wave.com/products/km012/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim_UK Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Yeah I noticed HLJ had changed its shipping date. In protest I bought the Battle of the planets Phoenix. 😆 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is your Japanese? Can you translate?? Google seems to be not very helpfull when it comes to asian languages.. And one more thing: Wave has some nice Kits in the pipeline. Personally i am very much looking forward to the new 1/24 Scale Tachicoma from Ghost in the Shell. A Re-Release of the 1/24 Scale Logicoma would make my day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I find Google Translate actually very helpful with Japanese & Chinese texts. And it's directly available in Twitter. Since the kit is out, it's clear that the figure option has been dropped. Hopefully, some third party will jump in; the bike looks a bit empty without a driver. Also, I have the new Tekkaman kit from Wave on pre-order, it should be out in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim_UK Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I have one winging it's way to me as we speak with something a little bit extra. Another favourite Anime. EDIT: It would seem I won't be getting the order as my account has been suspended and order cancelled. I have payment problems it would seem.

Vile Traveller Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I was considering it to add to my 1/20 Ma.K. stash, but it was too late for my last HLJ package (which only took 3 months) - no plans to get any more now, I'm retired and finally able to start on that shelf of kits. Only 350 to go before I run out and need to start buying more. Looking forward to some build threads of this here in the meantime. Weird coincidence, I'd never heard of Venus Wars before this kit came out, and I didn't pay attention to which anime it came from then. A couple of weeks ago I happened to watch the anime, and was very surprised when the monocycles appeared on screen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I just watched the Movie Saturday evening. Not really a "Must See" under any aspect but still quite entertaining. With a lot of cool velicles and tanks that i would love to see as model kits. But i would be curious, what Waves motivation was, now to create a model kit from a over 30 yers old movie?? I mean, Venus Wars is not as popular as 2001 or Ghost In The Shell for sure.... Edited June 15, 2022 by Reelyator typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 And this is how the Kit looks like: Not really a full box. Comes with some MaK-ish looking decals and 2 double sided A4 sheets of instructions. One for the bike, one for the figure. Some details of the figure (Resin). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventsislav Gramatski Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I am not usually a fan of anime and don't have any anime-themed kits but I remember I really liked Venus Wars as a kid and this looks like a nice model. Odd to see something from such an old movie but I am not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim_UK Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Loving the new box art for the Hiro Box. I think I have a resin figure that's similar to the journalist in the film need to compare it to the resin Hiro. Just waiting for it to arrive.

Pilgrim_UK Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Now that would be great. Unfortunately I have only seen a one off Garage kit. Only just got my Hiro Hound last week but would love to see more bikes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
