Fantastic news came in this weekend from our friend Mr. Kit Lau and our friends at Oritoy. For those of you that are fans of the Acid Rain World line of Military Action Figures and Vehicles, then get ready – Kit announced this weekend that the Speeder Mk I, aka RAPTOR, is now ready!
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.
The Raptor will also come with it’s own Pilot, which appears to have a new head and/or helmet. We will of course share more images with you as they become available and will definitely share a review once the Raptor is available for purchase and we’re able to secure one.
Don’t forget, you can always check out the reviews we have up if you haven’t heard of the line before, or if you’re still on the fence.

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*
