Looks interesting...

I think that could very well be a Crockett, with a UAC10 on the right.

Definitely a PGI original again. Doesn't match anything I've seen in BT to date (IMO it looks to be inspired by Hawken's artstyle).

Looks like another mech coming to MWO soon.

That mech kind of looks like a Sha-Yu:

I'm curious, who has the rights to make BattleTech figurines and model kits? I see a few companies selling them, including Catalyst Game Labs, which I think are for their table top?

I'm looking from the perspective of highly detailed model kits, eg like what Bandai Namco does with Star Wars.

I know that Iron Wind Metals makes the pewter minis for TT. That's all that I'm aware of.

I don't think anybody currently has the rights to make plastic model kits, sadly (those would be amazeballs).

Sunrise/bandai should get in on a potential new market! Make some models like the Master Grade Gundam models. I would love to build my Vindicators, Blackjacks, Urbies, and Riflemen!

Indeed. If I wanted a non-self-assembled figurine, I honestly would prefer something like a Funco Pop model. For accurate models, I would prefer some plastic/vinyl self-assembly. Someone like Bandai should pick up the rights.

[shameless]

dammit that's not a crusader.

[Poltuhgeist]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has anyone noticed the jump jet fuel mech doesn't look like a spider?

I'm hoping its not just me.

What free stuff do they giveaway at mech con?

So so glad it's not the Crusader

I think it's a home brew. Unless P.G.I are creating variants, it can't be the mechs suggested, since the picture was shown as only one has a single LRm launcher in one variant.

[Phantom360]

Maybe a redesign of another type of mech, my guess is the Avatar, no real hero variant exists and the shoulder launchers could be PGIs attempt to create an in house hero variant. Left arm looks like it’s carrying a PPC of some sort and a UAC10 in the right arm, both types of weapons the Avatar is capable of carrying and in fact carries in one of its variants.
Would be a huge reveal, probably bigger than them adding a new in house design, as it would be the debut of the first IS omnimech and would open the gate to the redesign and addition of other IS omnis like the Sunder, Strider and Owens. Just to name a few.

I'd buy some of those pins and maybe a shirt if they were available from piranha online.

[Alvar Von Kenesthor]

-Chicken legs: CHECK
-Spaceship-like torso: CHECK
-Weapon pods instead of arms: CHECK
-Inner Sphere-like design: CHECK

IDK what is that thing size, weight class or even if it's canon or not, but it already is a mandatory purchase for me

Soon!
