Bandai Hobby HG Scopedog (2023)
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the classic TV anime Armored Trooper VOTOMS, the iconic Scopedog joins the High Grade line with a brand-new mold, capturing the realism and mechanical density of the legendary Armored Trooper in 1/20 scale.
This HG release features an advanced internal joint system that delivers wide articulation across the entire body, allowing for the recreation of the Scopedog’s signature roller dash movement with exceptional stability. The legs incorporate a deployment mechanism that enables the distinct crouching and prone poses unique to VOTOMS units, letting builders display the Scopedog in its full range of combat stances.
Select components feature thick, single-piece molding, achieving a solid, heavy look while maintaining ease of assembly. The turret lens—a defining feature of the Scopedog—can both slide horizontally and rotate, with 3D metallic stickers used to reproduce its multi-layered optical sheen. The feet are meticulously detailed with functional mechanical features such as gliding wheels and turn picks, bringing the realism of the source material to life.
The arms include an extendable punch mechanism, enabling the recreation of the classic Arm Punch attack from the series. A Heavy Machine Gun and multiple interchangeable hand parts are included to support diverse action poses and loadouts.

With its outstanding articulation, mechanical authenticity, and faithfully reproduced anime proportions, the HG Scopedog represents the definitive modern model kit of one of mecha anime’s most enduring designs.
