Thanks to our friend Mr. Kit Lau and our friends at Oritoy, we now have color sample images of the upcoming Speeder MkI – Raptor from the Acid Rain World line of 1/18th Military Mecha!
These highly detailed, transformable vehicles make the perfect compliment to your G.I.Joe and other 1/18th scale figures. To give you a bit of backstory on the Raptor, here’s the official story line from the Acid Rain Blog –
Raptor is the nickname given to the Speeder Mk I by the Marine Soldiers. The production of Raptor originated from the defects and inadequacies of the ST-1 Stronghold. Since the time that the Stronghold was mass produced, several several problems were identified. Although Stronghold’s firepower is particularly strong, its speed and defensive ability have become its fatal flaw. To cope with the anti-tank soldiers and the above problems, the strategy of the Marines must be adjusted. As such, an easy to control, flexible, fast and with a certain standard of firepower machine guard came to exist.With the development of Speeder Mk. II has become mature, the Raptor has become less active on the battlefield. Given it’s still reliable nature, it can be found on many battlefields, although it is not the main combat platform used.
We’ll be sure to bring you any and all updates as they’re received. Please note that the attached images reflect the Raptor in it’s prototype stage; Final colors will be in line with what we’ve come to expect from the Acid Rain World.

I believe so, around the $50 - $60 mark. Now, that is what has been speculated to this point; We don't have a "set-in-stone" price yet. When we do, I'll be sure to post up! *salute*
