On Amazon Japan a four meter high ruff "Kuratas" is for sale. The mech presented at the end of 120 at the Wonder Festival near Tokyo can be purchased for almost 900 million yen (the equivalent of almost 000 euros). And that's a bargain, but the shipping costs shouldn't be negligible.
The 3,8 meter high and 4,5 ton heavy robot, which is powered by a diesel engine, is the dream of many anime fans and video gamers. Mech fans with a large wallet should grab it quickly, currently only one example of the four-legged ruff on wheels is offered. Manufacturer Suidobashi Heavy Industry offers a configuration wizard on its website with which the color and armament of the Mech can be adjusted, but this is only considered as an expression of interest. The Kuratas, which are planned as contract production, cannot yet be pre-ordered. It is the basic model without arms and forearms, which have to be bought separately. Among other things, a bottle thrower or two BB Gatling guns can be mounted on these, which can shoot 6000 plastic balls per minute, although the latter extension is probably not readily available to end customers. In addition, buyers have to lend a hand, some components have to be assembled after delivery. Kuratas was created in collaboration between the Japanese artist Kogoro Kurata and the robot specialist Wataru Yoshizaki. As known from anime films or video games, the mech can be manned by a person or controlled remotely via smartphone.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
