    REALLY nice to have some rough textures going on in this sculpt. I also appreciate H.S.'s unwavering attention to detail when it comes to the genital area 8). Has the butthole screw fallen out on the battle-damaged version? Inquiring minds want to know!

    I might be in the minority, but I don't like that damaged arm as much as id like to see a full arm.

    I like how the the one they showed at sdcc was if there was a gorilla inside the mg suit and had his helmet blown off or toke it off after battle. Doesnt really make since having bandages wrapped all over a mecha body that doesnt bleed? Still badass, purely nitpicking for discussions sake

    I hope hxs will hold some occassional old school physical sales not only at pus events.
    Buying toys physically makes memorable scores.

    Original I wasn't to fond of the whole body wrapped in bandages and the hanging fist. But after seeing it painted like this it looks wonderful. Still not liking that hanging fist. Just seems odd.

    Also congrats to one of our SB member cyber_ann for the win! Make sure you take a lot of sexy pictures of it and share it with us. :D

    The hanging arm seems too fragile & gives me a "Do not touch - may break" vibe.

    So I think I'd prefer a full damaged arm .... but really like the rest of the sculpt!

    Man the more I see it, the less I like that arm. I'd still take one given the oppertuniy, everything else is rad, but that gap really throws off the natural angle of an arm and hand. Also that super skinny wire just looks weird compared to the nice and chunky proportions the rest of the figure has.

    I really like the arm. I think the contrast of the sturdy/chunky sculpt and the thin fragility of wires is really interesting. I could imagine wires sticking out of the belly and the eye, which might balance it more, but overall it is a great addition to Hirota's line up. Now the tricky part of actually finding 1.

    I can imagine that Meca-gorilla is just as annoyed with that dangly chunk of iron flopping all around.
    Actually, I think it would look better cut off at the stump and held aloft in his other hand, wires hanging.

    I think its quite cool, the hand that is, not seen a toy like this before, think it's quite realistic too in a giant mecha gorilla kind of way
