Fortress in the Air Ghoul
Here are the particulars on the Fortress in the Air Ghoul that Sanjeev mentioned in a previous news item. It's listed as 30cm tall, but I'm guessing that should really mean long. Due in February 2009, it appears to be a fixed posed resin statue and will retail for ¥10,000. Chikyu-boueigun is indeed making not only this, but also the Fortress from the Sea Yoodo (both from Mazinger Z) and the Photon Rocket (from Silver Mask).

Well, the site lists it as "poly resin". I'm not sure what the difference is, but either way, it's for looking at.
