    I could be misunderstanding what the post is actually about but if this is saying the KO is slightly undersized compared to the original (from 32cm down to 30cm) then I'm very much on board. It does look slightly smaller in the screenshot but maybe it's an effect of the perspective

    It's undersized? Well I see that as a good thing. I always felt that dragoon was a bit too tall for my taste.

    I don't think I've ever seen a figure advertised with its actual height, and even if they were trying it's hard to tell for some figures where they're actually measuring to. Some of the new pieces look like they could be a touch smaller (though that could easily be more pronounced indentation) but that wouldn't be enough of a change to the underlying framework to knock 2cm off it. More likely that one has been rounded down while the other is rounded up, and both are roughly 31cm.

    *ed: Nevermind. Some of the other stills from that video really show that something's quite different, especially when Skybreaker is in front of Dragoon.

    Bigger is better, but the uniqueness of both offerings is indeed, choice. Color scheme (new red and lighter gold) and slimming of the UT bulk slightly gives me a reason to collect them both. Well done.

    So this one is slightly smaller from the review that I watched and it has more sculpted detail slightly more paint and a longer chain on the cannon. LED eyes but you have to take the head apart to switch to the mask face. All of the articulation seems the same and the transformation seems the same. I appreciate the decrease in size as the original made Challenger look too small which was the reason why I didn't get it. Now it looks closer to rendsora size. The original one scales a lot better with the toy world prime anyway so the KO scaling with the utr02 is cool. Definitely picking this up especially since it's way less than my last few purchases.
    Edit: paid in full and waiting on showz!

    I'm so conflicted about this offering. I really love the new head sculpt, the new molded details are a great touch, and I REALLY like the red paint apps, but I absolutely HATE the gold paint details, and not just because of how inconsistent they seem to be. The articulated hands don't really do much for me one way or another, and the light up eyes gimmick isn't really for me, but the slight undersizing really helps line up overall scaling better. I dunno, I think with already owning the UT original I'm gonna pass on this for now, but if they release a weathered or battle damaged version that significantly mutes the gold accents, I think I'd be pretty hard pressed to find a reason to not pick it up.

    What's the thing with all this gold? I like it, but I don't think the movie had it
    Also, I believe the should have made a moveable mouth, better than just an opened one

    The gold seems to be from the same place as the red, the 3A figure. The gold is way more faint on that figure but it is there.

    Yeah but I still thing that even a half-assed weathered job like Rendsora would make this almost perfect. Ah well

    To be fair, they may not make a painting in the same quality of 3A, but they can make one as beautiful as that. For good looking I mean, not exactly quality of paint (for example MA Blitzwing has a good look but the quality is poor, as it desintegrates in people's hands).
    Those battle damaged versions usually have some detail, the 3P would just need to outdo themselves
