My God, this is possibly one of the coolest toys I have ever seen... - Ebony - 07-31-2012
You guys remember the toy rockets that you would fill with tap water and them pressurize, so that they would launch into the air?
Japan has a toy RPG like that.
I want one of these SO BADLY.

Oh dear gods I want.
(And I am so amused by Google Translate:
Quote:has been designed referring to the rocket / missile launcher that reality,Get me one of those and I'll dent anything you want me to. )
there is no high degree of reproducibility. Please enjoy as a "toy-like feel."
Kit because it is, If you are confident to work, please also try to make minor dent.

You know you're still a child when your first thought involves painting bottles to look like real RPG's, shaving foam and unpopular government ministers.

This looks more like a homegrown build rather than a commerical one**. Check out the clamps and the material (it looks like straight up PVP).
It might be worth forwarding this link to the fine people at Make magazine; this looks to be right up their alley.
** Sorry - just did a little more research - yes they are selling it as a kit; though it would be fairly easy to make one - the only parts that would take a little effort are the cone for the rocket (fairly simple with the right tools) and the valve/release combo.

All my love for Heavy Gear is invested in Kuratas and my hope that it becomes more than just an awesome curiosity.

The Kuratus apparently believes you can't spell Slaughter without laughter. The command for weapons-free is to smile. "Be careful not to cause a shooting spree by laughing too much."
I approve.
