Lost Planet 2 HARDBALLER & DRIO Vital Suits

[gonk]

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Blasting your way out of Capcom’s upcoming sci-fi third-person shooter Lost Planet 2 (sequel to the hit Lost Planet: Extreme Condition) are two Vital Suits appearing for the first time in Kotobukiya’s new action figure line! The first in the new lineup is the heavy combat PTX-140R HARDBALLER. Based on the prototype for the famous “Ivan” suit, the Hardballer has been upgraded to the current R Type with additional components and cutting edge technology. Covered in thick armor plates, the Hardballer mounts heavy weapons and a rear power pack for bursts of speed.

The hard-fighting Hardballer Vital Suit is 6 inches of destructive capability. Pose yours for combat with 20 points of articulation, and an exclusive ball-jointed system that lets you interchange weapons with other Lost Planet 2 releases. The Hardballer 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 Vital Suit action figure from Capcom’s upcoming sci-fi third-person shooter Lost Planet 2 is the aerial combat unit GTF-11 DRIO. Originally developed for zero-G operations, the current Drio model features a multi-jointed body for full attachment capabilities of weapons as well as cutting edge attitude control technology. With an open cockpit for full visibility of the battlefield and a humanoid shape streamlined for aerial combat, the Drio is a deadly unit utilized by pirate forces as well as NEVEC.

Standing at approximately 5 ½ inches tall, the Drio Vital Suit is the perfect weapon against opposing aerial combatants and the agile Akrid. With 20 points of articulation and the exclusive ball-jointed system that lets you interchange weapons with other Lost Planet 2 action figures, the Drio gives you many display options. No pushover on its own, the Vital Suit comes equipped with both chain gun and gatling gun, and it includes a miniature Mountain Pirate pilot figure!

Next up in the amazing line of Vital Suits are two variant versions of the amazing mecha designs. 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 second new variant Vital Suit action figure 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.
