That looks pretty rad. I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the tail though - seems kinda superfluous.

Love the tail. Very lizard like.
Is this Corregidor? If so, I'm putting money aside NOW.

Love the Gecko, not convinced about Iguana though, seems like "just another helmeted Nomad" blown up to size, with tail and weird ammo case on the operator, WTF? Reserving final judgment for when I see the actual mini.
Yes they are.

Any word on a release date?
The operators are HI, and the stats are just a little below the Geckos, so I understand they will be ugly, thick and carry the same main weapon with minor (Anaconda) or zero changes.
Release date rumors say Iguana in some months, and Gecko in 2014.

I wonder, if the Gecko is multiple AVA, there might be different sculpts (or a different multi-part type of kit) ?
Any possibility for that happening?

I would hope/expect a box of two with different arms. That way you can arm swap and have different looks for all 4.
I asked at GenCon - CB would like to do a two-box set, but they're not entirely sure it will be a financially sounds choice. I suspect we'll see either a two-box set, or one to a box with two sets of arms.

The Iguana is actually digitigrade (walks on its toes), so it needs a tail for balance. Digitigrade bipeds all have tails for balance: Dogwarriors, birds, Tyrannosaurs, other werewolves.
Can't wait to see the actual Gecko. I think CB will be able to do it as a 2-model box, doesn't look like it will have much more metal than the Aragotos (or a pair of Dogwarriors).

Via O-12 again, Iguana is a September release.

I think that is the same pose that we saw in the 3D render previously.
Easier to get into cover? Hehehe...
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm not a huge fan of the Iguana. The Geckos are nice, but not caring for the Iguana.

I feel the same way at the moment, but it could still be saved with a really cool pose. Perhaps more bent over and lizard like?

Perhaps I'm jaded, but looking through the art book last night I saw so many "early concepts" that in my opinion were so much better than final results.

Yeah, that's always a killer. I remember looking at Anima miniatures, and almost ALWAYS the picture with them is a MUCH better pose or completely different 'attitude' than what they end up sculpting. I think we're all just disappointed that yet another Light TAG is so damn tall.

You're not the only one, I don't care for the crotch cockpit.
But in the chasis view, the pilot legs are not in the TAG crotch, they are in the thighs.
Also, the Anaconda shares the chasis with the Gecko. Artistic license or the Gecko isn't going to be so small after all? The Iguana, Gecko, Operator image contradicts that, as Gecko should be just a bit bigger than a HI.

Yeah, but it looks like the Crotch Cockpit from Zone of the Enders.

In the hexagonal future, there is only war.
What chassis view?
Pages 70 & 127, the "base body" illustrations at the bottom.
Using the rear view images of Gecko and Anaconda, you can see the feet of Anaconda are taller (check distance from sole to the ankle ball) and also the shoulder area seems to be bulkier. But that is not much to call Gecko "small".

Yeah, I have my suspicions too that the Geckos might turn out bigger than most people (including myself thought at first). I think the size comparison pic is a bit off or they might change the model so it fits, there just isn't any straight way to tell for now.
Hmmmmm, maybe, but need more views before they get the thumbs up from me.
