Torrance, CA, April 25th, 2005 � The wait is over! Yamato's award winning 1/12 scale ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG action figure is now shipping to stores throughout the United States.
Measuring over 12.5" and constructed of over 300 individual parts, Yamato's ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG is a faithful reproduction of the centerpiece mecha from the classic anime Armored Troopers Votoms. Fully articulated, the ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG is loaded with features, including removable armor plating, rotating lens turret, special internal spring mechanisms for simulation of arm punch and "down form", as well as wheels in the base of the feet for simulation of the Scopedog's "roller dash" gliding action. The functioning cockpit even opens with accommodating seating for the Chirico Cuvie action figure, sold separately. Window boxed, ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG comes with its GAT-22 heavy machine gun with removable magazine, decals, and an extra set of hands.
Yamato's 1/12 scale ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG is truly a one of a kind collectible. To learn more and to find a participating retailer visit the Yamato USA website at www.YamatoToysUSA.com.
