unklbrand's mak po maschinen krieger vinyl mecha
along with their website overhaul, UNKL has an update of their long-awaited MaK Po vinyl-mecha:
"It’s been long over a year since we first sent our ideas for MaK Po into our manufacturer ... We got the first MaK Po sample in the mail today, and we couldn’t stop playing with it. Wiggling the arms. Opening and re-opening the hatch. Changing out the weapons ... We’re pushing for New York Comic-Con, but lets not get too excited." [via] = too late! im hella excited now! *LOL*

MaK Po is a collaborative project inspired by reknowned sci-fi-creator Kow Yokoyama's Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000-universe [read more here]; which made it's debut @ SDCC 2006.
from what little articulation-description mentioned above, as well as the 3D-renders, this seems to be an awesome mecha, with an embodiment of designer vinyl-sensibilities and sci-fi spirit (IMHO) not to mention the impending size, seeing it'll fit a HazmaPo within, innit? = *sweet*
"Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000 (originally known as SF3D and now also known by the abbreviation Ma. K.) is a science fiction universe created by Japanese artist & sculptor Kow Yokoyama in the 1980s as a feature article in Hobby Japan magazine. The story is set eight hundred and eighty years in the future, as two opposing human forces are fighting for control of the habitable areas of Earth. Combat armor suits are prominently featured throughout the story.
Ma. K. began as a series of SF3D photo essays in Hobby Japan. Kow scratch-built 1/20 and 1/76 scale models of unique, retro-futuristic armored fighting suits and vehicles. A small but dedicated fan following soon developed, and models were produced for retail by the company Nitto." [wiki]
