Pass for me. Not digging the new aesthetics. I also don't think they incorporated the leg's inner frame to open up like the original design which the Hi-Metal R figure does.

I like it more than the HMR on the sole basis of it not having that tacky chrome gold in its frame.

Fair enough. But I think that can be easily remedied by doing some blackwash and applying matte topcoat.

Since they used Takanori (Red Fox)'s garage kit design for the L-Gaim and he's supervising it, what are the chances that MKII will be next? I mean, it's a cool garage kit design. However, L-Gaim's asking price is not helping somehow esp for its size. I'm sure MKII will be more.

As much as I would like to see their interpretation of MKII in the future, I'll probably just wait for Hi-Metal R version. They already teased it back in 2021 and 2022 during Tamashii Nation events so hopefully it will be produced soon. :wub:

Personally I still prefer the HMR version.

Engineering and articulation on Sentinel's take will offer a much greater experience compared to the HMR, but I just don't like Takanori's stylistic approach.

Those very wide hips and the generous spacing between the crotch makes the overall silhouette and proportion incohesive, the very angular edges on the upper thighs vs. the rounded lower legs is jarring, giving it high heels instead of the flat two pronged heel design is a distinction that gets lost for the Mk.II and the exaggerated chest clamps don't do it any favours either.

So Bandai is launching this new project called "Sunrise Spirits" where they will be reissuing some of their popular mecha from the different Tamashii lines as P-Bandai.

One of the initial releases is going to be HMR L-Gaim, so this might be a chance to grab a fresh copy if you missed out the first time.
Pre-order starts 25 Dec. and release is already supposed to be in January.
