    It’d be nice if we got more details about the size and more pictures showcasing the articulation instead of the same 2 poses repeatedly. I don’t care about the bike

    This seems like it will be in direct competition with the Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri version of IDW OP. Knowning how much the Flame Toys' figures cost if these guys can keep the price down (hopefully within a 100 $ range) i can see more collectors on a budget choosing this one over Flame Toys' version.

    To be fair this is also a different design to the Kuro Kara Kuri Prime. So you can’t exactly predict who will buy it. But it’s possible. Also we’re not sure on the height either. So it could just as easily be competing with the Furai Model Prime IDW ver.

    now that you mentioned it i can see this being closer to the model kit version compared to the kuro kara kuri version. There might also be a possibility to consider that this might be similar to the Revoltech no.014 OP which measures around 5.5 inches ? The hands don't look articulated
    which made me assume it might be of a smaller scale

    Well the hands on the Kuro Kara Kuri aren’t articulated either. I’m thinking it’ll be smaller mainly cause the bike accessory.

    Oh are they not? damn for the price i would have thought each finger would be articulated. Never really paid much attention to them mainly because where i come from they cost half my monthly paycheck :(  i am interested for this one tho, hopefully there's an option without the bike.

    I mean I like the swap out hands more. Especially cause you can get perfect poses when they’re sculpted for the exact purpose. Although then there’s the dilemma that I can’t get every pose I want when I could get them with articulated hands.

    That's true, some articulated hands look off especially if they can only open and close in one angle and not being able to spread each individual finger out. It doesn't look as bad for robots and mechas but it's definitely weird on a human figure. IMO however for high end figures like the Kuro Kara Kuri or similar it would be cool to actually include an additional set of articulated hands, so collectors can pretty much cover a complete range of poses.

    They better have the option of not buying the 55cm long bike.

    Looks good. The axe-sword is a nice concept. Not particularly relevant, but will do little to inflate the price, and can be easily ignored. The bike, conversely...

    He looks good, but i can't help but think he looks too similar with GT's OP.EX, the weapon accessories are cool tho. Any word on the price yet? I can see it being a more affordable option to the Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri Prime, albeit with design differences.
