Scope Dog Turbo Custom Replica Mech

Mech

To commemorate twenty-five years since the first broadcast of “Koso Kihei Botomsu,” Yamato has released a 1/24th scale limited edition Scope Dog model called “The Last Red Shoulder.”

I have no idea what most of those terms are referring to. But, you don’t have to be a fan of 80s anime to appreciate this replica mech. Especially a replica that moves around via a remote control and shoots infrared LASERS at other replica mechs. Score a hit, and the controller vibrates. Fun! I don’t know if it’s $248 worth of fun, though… For that amount of money, you might as well just build your own mech. Or buy a servo for it, anyway.

I’ve got episode 1 of VOTOMS for you (with English subtitles) where you can see the Scope Dog Turbo Custom in action, after the jump.
