New Robot Spirits Q-Rhea
 

I just received the newsletter from "over-drive-inc.com" and it had an interesting announcement regarding the Q-Rhea from Macross Frontier. The Robot Spirits (Robot Damashii) line is releasing the grey Q-Rhea from the Pixie Squad. It appears to me that they are exploiting the existing molds with this welcome release!

Pre-orders started on November 6, 2009 with and expected release date of October 2010.

What size are those things compared to say the yamato q-rau (predecessor for macross which is like 80% or so similar in design) or even next to a 1/60 dx vf-25?

Muuuuch smaller. They're only about 4.5-5" tall.

The pixie squadron QR's are Bandai webshop exclusives, so getting them for a decent price will be tricky.

Actually if you are brave and skilled, getting your hands on a Yammy Q-Rau and modifying it with a cannon (or not) and you could stand it next to the DX VF-25 and you'll get an idea of the scale... Both are 1/60 scale... ;)
