LOST PLANET 2 ACTION FIGURES
PTX-140 HARDBALLER EARLY MODEL & GTF-11SR DRIO

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Next up in the amazing line of Vital Suits from Capcom’s sci-fi third-person shooter Lost Planet 2 (sequel to the hit Lost Planet: Extreme Condition) are two variant versions of the amazing mecha designs. Pose your Vital Suit action figures for combat with 20 points of articulation and an exclusive ball-jointed system that lets you interchange their weapons.

The first is the PTX-140 HARDBALLER EARLY MODEL, a preliminary design for a heavy combat unit that would later see the “R” upgrade. Based on the prototype for the famous “Ivan” suit, the original Hardballer featured an incredibly powerful and heavy frame that hampered its power and thrust ratio. Covered in thick armor plates and standing on ski-like feet, the Hardballer mounts heavy weapons and features an antique brown paint scheme. The hard-fighting Hardballer Vital Suit is 6 inches of destructive capability. It comes fully equipped with a rocket launcher, laser rifle, and a heavy-duty chain gun for maximum destruction focused against pirates and the alien Akrid!

The second new variant Vital Suit is the aerial combat unit GTF-11SR DRIO. Developed for zero-G operations, the original Drio model was equipped with a multi-jointed body for full attachment capabilities of weapons. With an open cockpit for full visibility of the battlefield and a humanoid shape streamlined for aerial combat immediately recognizable by its blue-gray paint scheme, the Drio became the primary workhorse of the E.D.N. II colonists. Standing at approximately 5 ½ inches tall, the Drio Vital Suit is the perfect weapon against opposing aerial combatants and the agile Akrid with both chain gun and gatling gun. The action figure also includes a miniature Mountain Pirate pilot figure!
