rico soul: Colored photos are released for this now and it looks pretty good with protagonist gundam colors of red, white, blue, and yellow.

Priced at 168RMB (~$24) before shipping, this should be a pretty affordable kit too.

I like the style with it taking obvious inspiration from Gundam Exia Repair 4, Gundam Aerial, and probably Sword Impulse gundam. Looks nice though, and SNAA is a trustworthy brand for the most part.

It's decent sized standing at 21cm head height and the first batch is scheduled to ship out before Chinese new years, though stock will be limited. More stock will come after Chinese new years

rico soul: That's $24 in China, SD prices in China are also going to be much lower lol. After international shipping, we'd be looking at around $50 for it. If Gundamit prices it fairly, it would be under $60 but i wouldn't hold my breath for under $55. This is going to be more like a master grade, has an inner frame but not prebuilt.

rico soul: Now that Gundamit's price is revealed as expectedly high....I would probably say people can wait on this one. I wouldn't be surprised to see this go "on sale" since there's really no stock shortage concerns with SNAA and the general pricing, at least in the US, is a couple dollars below what gundamit is asking.

rico soul: really quite interesting that CaoRen seems to have actually gone down in price while Gundamit has consistently raised the price on all the other Motor Nuclear kits, despite all of them having the same msrp. I guess CaoRen just isn't as popular for some reason

rico soul: The RGB PG Unicorn LED set is probably the most popular Kosmos LED set next to their FM Aerial.

It's a great option over the Bandai LEDs being both more affordable and with more options since you can pick and choose the color. It's more expensive than the single color versions but it looks like the price actually dropped slightly for this restock.

Lots of people love combining these with the daban PG Unicorn/Perf/Banshee/Phenex, etc to create a pretty impressive and relatively affordable PG light show.

rico soul: This one is definitely a classic samurai armor aesthetic more than a ninja aesthetic
