This weekend at a Gaming fair in Tokyo, you can see a concept armature dress for KHR-1. Made of military camouflage colored plastic. Haven't figured out yet which anime or video game character this has taken after..
The Japanese company that makes these molds is called Poseidon. Check out their amazing KHR-1 plastic dressings:

That looks totally dope Very Happy

I wonder how much?

I don't like what they did with the arms though.
That way the shoulder is very restricted in sideways movement.
I know why they did that though.
It's because they didn't add 2 extra servos in the legs
like they did in the arms to keep the proportions right.
I did that with my KHR-1 and it looks much better that way.

Are there other suits like this? The only other ones I know of are the paper ones in this website's shop.

That's the ScopeDog from Armored Troopers Votoms (1983, Sunrise).

In fact, it looks to me like they've modified Yamato's 1:12 model. Pretty awesome use for thing really

Just noticed that the Posjeidon workshop has uploaded a new concept model for KHR-1 dressing
There are some 10 hand designs and 19 concept rendering of these designs at http://www.poseidon.co.jp/1F/1f.html
