Yooooo, I didn't catch that my first time through the video. That kit is looking so good. AND they're teasing a Scherazade? Dare I hope for an Alseides, even?

That'd be sweet!  I'd like all of them if possible even the obscure ones

Based on what the twitter user says below it looks like it will come with two different capes: plastic and cloth

What, no dragon-hide leather option?  Pre-order cancelled!  ;0

No sale, need one that can turn into a dragon, thanks.

 

Honestly though, looks decent, but those seams on the legs are pretty bad.

The seams are definitely there, but they don’t look too hard to get rid of. But there are a lot. Anyway I can’t wait

The kit is only 5 and a half inches tall when complete. Seems tiny for the price. I don't know how I would justify that purchase.

Pre-ordered!!!

So I'm guessing these are non-transforming plastic model kits, that look to be equivalent to about Bandai HG in size and quality?

Even though my desktop looks like this these days, not sure I need this little kit. I'm waiting for a SOC Chogokin version.

To be completely honest, it actually looks worse than a modern Bandai HG. Closer to the stuff coming out in the 90s/early 00s.

Compared to the line art, I thought no the made some improvements on the design. It looks more like a cross between the line art and how it appeared in the anime.

look i'm just glad it exists

[Big s]

Same, I’m hoping the do more of these kits

Scherazade and Alseides up for preorder on HLJ (and the other usual haunts too I'm sure). (EDIT: FYI, both come with plastic and cloth capes.)

I preordered the other 2 last night. Is the blue  version of the Alseides upcoming as well?

It's a GoodSmile Online Shop Exclusive from the looks of it.

I kinda had a feeling they would go that route. I only saw info for the red last night. I do at least want one blue. The head and neck look like it has different details that would make it a bit difficult to just do a repaint.
