    is there a difference between NT-8 versus NT-11 (besides the Maximal symbol)?

    Same question for NT-7 versus NT-10.

    Thanks

    If anyone is buying the KIng Bat KO's for the Buster Sword then I would just point out that the tip of the spear is actually Megatron's sword (based on the sword the Gun robo version had) so those are ideal to lend to a Megs of your choice.

    What happened then with the new KO version - I didn't hear much about them lately - is there box pics - any on eBay or somewhere like That Safari place ? I only have the Purple one so far and I'm looking to get a black and a white too.

    I just ordered the last EVA Prime from RTB. Only seeing eBay/Ali with them in-stock now.

    Also, the PE black/white/blue Origin is just 90 at BBTS right now.

    Finally does anyone have any pics of one of the Leonidas models with a Kingbat spear? Thinking about picking one up as a pseudo-Longinus

    Odd question but would anyone be kind enough to measure the ball joint for the head? I plan on replacing EVA Prime's head with something more EVA-like, but want to make sure I either have the size right before ordering parts or if I'll have to do some modifications

    I don't know the measurement, but I can tell you that the head from the old Bandai model for Unit-01 F-Type Equipment fits perfectly with no mods to either, and it's also a nearly exact color match. I did this when I got mine nearly a year ago but I keep forgetting/being too lazy to take any pics. Range is a bit limited by Unit-01's helmet, but it can turn ~45 degrees in either direction. I expect the heads from any of that old model line would fit as well.

    Quick update: The heads of the other old Bandai model kits do not fit without mods like the F-Type Unit-01 does. The socket in the head is too small, so one would have to try to fit a larger poly cap into that space, which would require some hollowing out of the plastic, and there's not much room to work with. The black Origins Leonidas is on sale at BBTS right now, so I was seriously tempted to get it to put Unit-03's head on. Glad I tested it before pulling the trigger.

    Anyone own both EVA ones - I was curious as to any minor paint difference - I can see the newer one is available in a gloss finish now - which is interesting though I can't say if it's superior or not to the matt. It's one of those things I'm kinda on the fence about as a rule.

    @SofosXIII Sorry for the delay. It turns out I did actually have a couple of pics on my laptop I'd forgotten about. They're not award-winning quality by any means, but here you go.

    IMG1.jpg IMG2.jpg IMG3.jpg

    I thought I might have one with the original head next to it for a size/proportions comparison, but I don't see it anywhere. As you can hopefully see, though, the head fits pretty well (again, with no mods to either end) and the colors are a very close match. (If you're curious, the purple and the white/gray are the only bare plastic. The green, black, yellow, and un-pictured red inside the mouth are all paint. The green is super easy to match - it's just a standard neon/fluorescent green.)

    Also, that's just about as far as the head can turn. Not spectacular, but enough, I feel. The mouth has just enough clearance to open and close as well.

    The head may seem small to some, but I really like the proportions. To me, it seems like Unit-01 is wearing very heavy armor. I even have a super nerdy head-canon for what this is even supposed to be in-universe.

    Really wish I could have done the same with the black one and an Unit-03 head, but between modding either the ball joint or the socket and having to color-match paint, I don't feel like I need a second one of these taking up space on the shelf.

    Well, I think I'm going to dump my Neoart Origin Leonidas.

    I wanted to do a T-Beast shelf based on the concept art. I have the GT Primal, DX9 Hotrod/Ancestrod, and this Leonidas but what I don't have is patience. I wanted to eventually add the GT Sideswipe bull and the TE Bumblebee but I have lost interest. I will be keeping Primal but Leonidas and Hotrod will be up for grabs.
