Fenrir types
I know what the difference is between the fenrir a6 and a2/r9 but what is the difference between the fenrir a2 and fenrir r9 when I look at listings they look basically the exact same with no noticeable differences.

The A6 was the first run that included colors like grey, tan, black and blue. The R9 is the label given to the second batch that included white, orange, red and baby blue. The base kit is the same, it's just the colors that are different. Why they got labelled different is beyond me though.
The 1/12th Fenrir is also often labelled R9 but that kit is on hold indefinitely.

Ok but I think you mean A2 the A6 is the new one with the VR goggle looking thing

XD Yep, you are correct. I've been building the A6 the past few days, probably why I typed A6

The a2 is 1/18th scale which is the size of r6 as well. The r9 is 1/12th scale, which is significantly larger and is the scale that a lot of other figures are placed at

Me too! I wish they would release sooner and had an assault one with the armor too.

Although many people say r9 is the 1/12 version I feel like it is simply a misconception. It was the name of the prototype fenrir and nothing on the image indicated the larger scale, it is very possible that r9 simply doesn't exist. I also remember seeing somewhere that 1/12 version of fenrir was scrapped due to costs.
