    Seems so. I just couldn't find any OX artwork of Star Saber to compare.

    Isn't that accurate?
    Then again the photos show the crotch thrust out like you see in Asia media. It never made a lick of sense to me.

    Basically, taking into account 90s Brave aesthetics as they were drawn by Masami Obari or possibly Yoh Yoshinari.

    I totally see what you are saying (I'm guessing you mean the second pic down in the newer, colored shots, right?), but I think that maybe that shot in particular it's because of the pose it's in - like the convex curve the figure is making is causing the part in question to protrude with exaggeration. When I look at the other pictures, it doesn't seem as bad.

    Not sure if it’s OX but it does look rather close to that garage kit from awhile back A46DB4DB-4341-4F36-8441-6E52E32EC39C.jpeg D15A8B4F-BFCF-4724-846E-7A1CD45E688C.jpeg

    I'm glad I'm not the only one getting an Obari vibe here with this one. And since Obari's one of my all time favorite mech designers, that means I'm all over this.

    Best part? He seems flexible enough to go full Obari Pose.

    Hopefully he'll get a sword big enough to do the pose. CavqJWUUUAAQNRT.jpg

    Gotta go big, like twice the size of the robot.

    I actually think the blade is long enough - it's just like some others have said: the handle needs to be long enought to held by both hands.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Iron-Trans took Xelflex's garage kit as a base for their Star Saber. Funny thing about Xelflex is that he's been getting a lot of official work as of late. He's the main designer of the Bandai SOC Full action figures being released as well as designing the Demonbane chogokin from goodsmile.

    only thing I have, needs two guns.  One is fine, but I would like to see the vehicle mode have some symetry, and a single blaster on the right side in the third pic, throws that off for me
