Sentinel had a great display of Iron Man figures at Toy Fair 2016. Their items were on display at the Bluefin booth. They also showcased the excellent Armarauders mecha figures, including the Black Bellerophon.
Re:Edit Iron Man Figures
It’s been a long road for the independent comic and toy line Armarauders from Mecha Workshop. They’ve created something original from scratch and brought it into digital, print and now physical reality – a true feat in today’s collectible market. We’ve tried to keep you up to date with the project over time, from their first announcement to their figure preview earlier this year. Today we have in hand the final retail release of the first Armaraders mech, the Bellerophon.
He keeps all the magnificence of the prototype we handled in February along with fine tuning to joints and alignment to make it damn near perfect. This is not some one off quasi-cutom piece – this is the real deal, a high end collectible top to bottom. Quality of the figure is top notch as we said before, but what really blew us away this round – the packaging. It’s huge, sturdy, and features artwork from the comics big enough for a shelf wide backdrop. It feels expensive – which is a good thing. You’ve bought something worth it’s price. Hopefully if the line continues well into the future one can look back at this piece as being the alpha grail.
For more details on the figure, company, and comic I suggest you check our earlier article with near 100 pics and an interview with producer Valent Wang. Once you’ve done that, head on into this story and check out almost 100 more pics of the final product.
He is in stock or shipping now, and you can grab your pieces at our sponsors: TFSource, Big Bad Toy Store, Hobby Link Japan.
If you have the means and dig the figure, we highly recommend supporting the line now while it’s young. It will help ensure more pieces and it’s continued development. But you gotta dig it, so check the pics and decide for yourself after the break!
The crew at Mecha Workshop have sent out a newsletter for September. In the update, they reveal that the long anticipated Armarauders Bellerophon is ready to ship. They’ve shared a photo of the boxes all packed up. We had an early in hand review back in February. Be sure to check it out.
Mecha Workshop has added a downloads section to their Facebook Page. There you can find comics, music, motion comics, papercraft models and more. Finally, they have posted the second motion comic, which you can see after the jump.
The Sentinel booth had a mix of Robots, mecha and a few figures. The fantastic Armarauders Bellerophon was on display as well. Included:
Yesterday was the spring 2015 NJCC, unofficially what seemed to be the biggest and busiest yet, and there were some new items on display at the show. Armarauders is working with Encline Designs to create a one of a kind custom Bellerophon mech, with more to come. Encline was there and had the piece on display in all it’s glory, and boy was it sweet. We have some shots of it after the break along with some new in person shots of the upcoming Master Made 002 Titan as seen at the Lunar Toy Store table. Read on to check it all out!
Did you check out our gallery of the beautiful upcoming Armarauders Bellerophon? If not, you can do so Here. The folks at Mecha Workshop have no revealed a great looking add-on for the figure. The Bellerophon Pegasus Drone Add-On is a piece that can attach to the back of Bellerophon. It can also act as a stand alone jet or change into a walking quadruped drone. Here’s the full details direct from Mecha Workshop:
The Pegasus Drone is A.I. controlled and has 3 different modes:
1) Combine-mode: The #Pegasus Drone merges with the mech enabling flight capability.
2) Sidekick-mode: The Pegasus gallops alongside its master mech guarding it like a noble steed.
3) Drone-mode: A supersonic aerial jet protecting its master mech from above.Work-in-progress:
*Adding more universal slots and articulating joints to certain areas, along with more gimmicks**It can also combine with Armarauders mechs of different models in the future*

Back in 2012 Mecha Workshop debuted Armarauders, an ambitious project featuring an all original story, comic book, and hopes for figures based on the mechs designed by Don Figueroa. A prototype was seen even back then, showing us the potential of things to come. Well, the Armarauders team has been hard at work on that figure over the last 2+ years and it’s getting close to go time. Pre-Orders for the first mech called the Bellerophon will be going up around March 1st and should ship in the 3rd Quarter of 2015. If you can’t wait any longer don’t fret, we have you covered :)
The fine folks at Mecha Workshop have sent us an early sample of the first figure, and we’ve done up a high resolution gallery for it. Over 140 pictures from every angle are inside. Check them out along with our thoughts after the break! [Read more…]

The the Bluefin booth, they had a few really cool looking items and lines at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. It’s always fun to see the Lost Planet 2 Toys from Toy Notch, and they’re looking as good as ever. Also on display was the Armarouders line by Don Figueroa, a 1/6 scale Synthetic Test Human by 1000toys and a Mazinkaiser by Aoshima. You can see all of the photos by reading on.
The Armarauders Facebook Page has updated with a look at an upcoming Armarauders figure. They note that this is still a work in progress. The final product will potentially differ from this pic. However, it gives us a great look at these new mechs.
