Also announced is the 1:48 Hybrid Style Pro series of Armored Troopers. HBS-P01 Chirico's Scopedog (¥1,690) and HBS-P02 Scopedog with parachute zak (¥1,890) both ship on June 30th. HBS-P03 Fyana's Brutishdog (¥1,785) ships July 28. The tiny, 3.5 inch HBS Pro AT's offer gimmicks such as turnpicks, arm punches, opening hatches and visors, roller heels, great poseability, and down doggie mode.
The HBS Pro line builds on a new collector's series launched with the HBS Galaxy Convoy. HBS products are apparently being marketed as re-imagined versions of existing toys geared toward collectors. In fact, the HBS Pro Scopedogs are described as the "Takara Version of the Scopedog".
