    Depends which commander you're talking about, probably not though, there's only a handful of returning characters so far and they're mostly all pretty minor roles.

    I was thinking about Akagi, I thought I spotted him while skipping around the Eva episode. Doesn't seem like things worked out with Futaba though :/.

    Doctor Yellow preview, oddly they've changed the inner colours.

    Wow that... really kills the look. Less money spent I guess.
    Edit: A quick look at the auto translation and it says this is what was sent to him. Does Shinkalion do pre-release reviews or something like that? I suspect it's the wrong part entirely, if you look it's got the wrong sticker as well.

    Yeah I did think that might be the case, he's done one other preview, for the 800 sonic. I assume Takara sends them to him as something to do with that magazine.

    Those thighs can't be the correct colors. Hopefully it's just a matter of him being sent an early review sample.

    Considering they also have the wrong sticker I think it's safe to say they're the wrong part.

    Definitely the wrong part. That part belongs to E7 Kagayaki.

    They didn't paint the side windows? That makes it look really cheap, I think the yellow makes that effect worse than with other colors.

    I love the technique of attaching the arm parts to the side of the gun, I'd love to try that with the Red Shinkalion or with one of the sword-wielding bots.

    Surprise, surprise. I got mine today. Oddly enough counting Amazon US this was the fourth package in a row that I got no notice that it was delivered. I was expecting the box to be as big as the Dark Shinkalion but it's the same size as all the others. I'm quite a bit behind on checking these guys out so I'll need to catch up.

    Likewise, I guess we've been spoilt so much by DHL that I feel let down lol.
