Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 Moderoid Madox-01

 A surprising entry for the Moderoid lineup but a welcome one nonetheless! Hailing from OVA series in  during the Mecha Golden Age of late 80s, GSC announcing Moderoid for Power Armor Madox-01. Moderoid Madox-01 is scheduled for September 2022 with 7200 Yen price tag.

Madox is quite a big deal in mecha world because it is one of the Shinji Aramaki works who is famed for his power armor designs like Megazone23 and Mospeada. Madox OVA series itself is rather forgettable since the storyline is basically a teenage boy tried to impress a girl by hijacking a prototype power armor and shoot down bad guys. As bad as the plotline goes, Madox-01 is a very beautiful mechanical design and probably Aramaki used Madox as the base for Marauder Armor in Starship Trooper Invasion CGI movie. Since Moderoid is a model kit, this version of Madox is easy skip for me though i am willing to wait for some action figure. If Madox could make it, i think Garland or Mospeada have a good shot in Moderoid Lineup too.
