Don Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Looks like an AT-ST's head got dropped on an AT-DP's legs :lol: ! I know it's just early development shots so things can change, but I hope those legs can be posed in different positions because it looks really funky as is. The 1/144 ships look promising for doable dioramas. Edited February 12, 2016 by Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 A couple more images of the Dragon AT-ST: http://www.therpf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=590682&d=1455290133 http://www.therpf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=590681&d=1455290133 Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I hope the commanders hatch and viewing ports can be positioned open or closed. Another nice feature would be to have the head able to be positioned as the builder likes. And again...those legs...... Come on Dragon give us a time frame here for all these new Star Wars kits. Some of us are impatient :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Or we could have Bandai do it...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Bandai has a 1/48 AT-ST that is excellent. There are still rumors of them doing a 1/48 AT-AT but that's been a rumor for a long while now. The question arose in another thread here regarding Dragon and these large scale Star Wars vehicles and if they will be traditional style model kits, or completely assembled and pre-painted display pieces, or a type where major components are pre-painted but the buyer has to snap them together much like a Hasbro toy (legs snapped to body and head snapped to body type things). I haven't seen any info on which style these Dragon models will fall under yet...anybody else have info? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd wager, the reason the legs appear too long is the fact they're fully extended. Some folks in other forums pointed out that Dragon relied on blueprints that represent none of the models used during filming. Bandai has a 1/48 AT-ST that is excellent. There are still rumors of them doing a 1/48 AT-AT but that's been a rumor for a long while now.

K5054NZ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 ANY additional detail from Dragon beyond a photo and the scale would be wonderful! Talk about hyping up the fans! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 I guess due to too many complaints they, who ever they are, posted a pic of it standing "normally": Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looks MUCH better standing normally. Honestly why they didn't release a photo of that stance initially is beyond me as that other picture made it look completely botched up in a huge way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) At least they didn't post any of the poses like at the bottom of this pic: Jari Edited February 15, 2016 by Finn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 :lol: yeah all the poses but those last two looked fine. Those last two sure were odd looking to say the least. According to Dragon we should see this AT-ST in the 2nd quarter of this year. We'll see I suppose. Still no word on pricing or the type of model this will be (both will factor into my decision to buy or pass). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 They look pretty darn decent all painted up IMHO. Now Dragon...sprue shots (...if any?), cost, type of kit (traditional/pre-finished and assembled/pre-finished and semi-assembled etc), ballpark date within the 2nd quarter...? Details Dragon details :D . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K5054NZ Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Dragon's also shared a frontal photo of their 1/144 TFA Falcon. I can't access Facebook or Twitter at work, but if you Search for Dragon Models you should be able to find it. "Stay tuned", they say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GMK Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That TFA Falcon doesn't look quite right. Dish too high, for a start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That TFA Falcon doesn't look quite right. Dish too high, for a start. Agreed. Granted I have only given it a fairly quick glance but my first impression is that it looks off as a whole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
