I've been eyeballing this thing for years and finally decided it was time. Sold a bunch of old anime stuff I wasn't into anymore and got something awesome.

That's dope! Such an incredible design! I have one too, is yours also a model kit? https://imgur.com/a/LrGdJhb

Yours looks different, but the model looks identical. Did you paint this yourself? I like the more raggidy look as that is pretty much how it was in the show as it always gets beat up.

I had to put on a handful of parts, but I wouldn't call what I got a "model kit" as it is 95% preassemble and painted.

Mine is made by Bandai and yes, I did paint it. Out of the box it's very plasticky and "perfect". You're totally right, it should be a bit beat up. I tried my best to do some cartoon style damage.

I looked up the one you have and the features are really cool, hope you're enjoying it!
