    i’m hoping this will be a more complicated build where you can also assemble a simplified version of their IIES skeleton underneath, adding to the detailing once fully assembled, aka the new perfect grade rx-72 gundam. it’d definitely increase the price, but it’ll be a more mature and rewarding build.

    Looking at some of their other model kits, namely the Copy X and Mega Man Zero model kit, it's actually very plausible they have an inner frame of Prime dedicated to the inner detail while also taking the brunt work of the articulation to allow the armor and the turck kibble to focus on appearance for the most part.

    Can't outright confirm if this will have that inner workings based on one photo, though. We'll need more pictures when they can show them to give us a definitive answer.

    I can at least confirm I will pre-order the moment it's available.

    Definitively more difficult and complex. A good challenge.

    He's got that nice "look at my pelvis" pose.

    I'm sure that's appealing to some.

    (Seinfeld's voice)

    Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    So, about the same size as 3z dlx Optimus but we get a matrix chamber and the head sculpt seems to be more screen accurate.

    I wonder if they'll chrome-plate the stacks and wheels, like most model car and truck kits do.

    I just realized the licensed territories excludes the US...so yeah, I don't think we'll be able to pre-order from their site.
