District 9 Prawn Mech

I went to watch district 9 and i'm so amazed with the prawn mech that Wikus pilot towards the end of the movie. I was hoping that Hot Toys will consider of making one of this baby. If it's a 1/6th scale, it's gonna be huge and the articulation is going to be fantastic. However i felt if they were to do it, there will be a bigger chance that the mech is in 1/16th scale. As there will be a 1/16th scale Matrix APU mech that Hot Toys will be releasing soon. It will looks nice next to the prawn mech if Hot Toys were too make one. Well, let's hope that Hot Toys pick this line up because i'm not in the financial situation to bid for this custom prawn mech in ebay. You can go search for district 9 mecha in ebay, there will be around 4 of it which is custom made and most of them is high in demand. There is one that i felt is the most accurate to the movie, and it's around 9inch tall. The creator is Sabretooth, a member of figure realm (http://www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomfigure.php?FID=16813). If you really dig this figure and buying this baby did cross your mind, you better hurry and hit ebay as now the bid has reach $200 with free shipping. Here's the link to the ebay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-District-9-prawn-mecha-2-0-toy-marvel-gi-joe_W0QQitemZ330356469247QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ceac7adff&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 . Enjoy the pics and let us pray someone pick this licence up to make a prawn mech for fans of mech like me.

  1. 200 USD for the prawn is totally a joke for me at this moment. LOL.
