    I have read your comments on the robotjapan forum, and have heard feedback from others as well; for a "new" studio, the figure is surprisingly decent, with solid joints and solid QC ...

    I hope this ain't the last Sculpt Lab's venture, the SRW verse has so much unfulfilled potential. Perhaps, Sculpt Lab ought to pick a less obscure name for their future projects, "perisoreus internigrans" is a mouthful.

    Wait a second, I'm so out of the loop here is that the official Huckebein?

    No, it's an unlicensed 3rd party product.

    Bandai did recently release a Metal Robot spirits Huckebein but that's the MK1 version and is on a much smaller 1/144 scale (and it goes for the same price as Sculpt Lab's).

    Official or not, it's good to see SRW getting some love.

    If you hover on release date, there's bound to be excess copies at the various retailers. But they're likely to go quite quick as well.

    I am surprised, Bandai is teasing X-1 and X-2 right off the bat.

    Everyone knows they're gonna release all 4 eventually so why hide it?

    Is 9/28 when it goes up for pre-order or just the full reveal?

    The full reveal is likely to happen before 9/28 as 9/28 is the start of the pre-orders. 9/29 - 9/30 is the period where the MB X-1 would be put on public display.

    Then preorders sell out instantly without even an opportunity to preorder a copy for yourself

    Third party Tung Mung has been doing Digimon characters and the first is Omega-X which is of course Omegamon X. Full Review and gallery in signature (mobile users please switch to landscape mode to view signatures.)

    [​IMG]

    The design and quality are there for sure along with the articulation but there are some minor gripes to it that keep it from being a score closer to 10. The review gives the full breakdown but here are a few pics from the gallery.

    Stellar photography as always, Kuma Style.

    Just to further add on: A black repaint of TungMung omegamon X, has just been released, and its' pricing should be lower than the original deco ( the original's pricing has been creeping upwards since its' release early this year).

    Folks who are eager to get this mold but unwilling to pay the aftermarket prices for the default paint scheme, might want to consider the black version.
