    I've been full court press into SK T-28's lately, and have become really curious about Gigantor T 28 manga artwork. Specifically this illustration featuring the "Iron Man" version SK has been making and was featured in their first boxed version of the sculpt:

    [​IMG]

    Does anyone have it? If so anyone willing to post a better resolution copy of it. I wanted to make a copy and possibly frame it.

    Also found this cool link to older T 28 illustrations (half way down):

    That's a nice T-28

    And last year's Tetsujin28. Siccaluna's sculpting and painting skills are just amazing.

    Yeah he's a lot smaller than I thought he'd be. In pics he just looked bigger. Standard for sure- 9 inches. Paint application is spectacular as always with Shikaruna.

    What I would go nuts for is if Shikaruna made a giant scale version of this particular T-28. Say one on par with the Giant M1 sizing (18.5 inches or 47cm). I mean they did it with the Zagoran, so please please one day consider the T-28 (if you read this SK) :)

    Beautiful, really. I've always admired this Kappa sculpt and had to make this my first one. Incidentally, I think it's actually my first Siccaluna Koubo toy too.

    Now I want to find that black Angry Kappa from Superfestival...

    I think that new T-28 is the new grey boxed version. SK has them.

    that's a nice one lixx, is it a one-off? i used to have a glow version like that but it seems yours has a heavier paint application.

    Remember my trials and tribulations of getting this from SK? ;) Just prior to the glow Maddalla release they had two limited Special Paint glow versions offered. This was special paint version 1. I think there were 10 of each, but not sure.

    Here is the gray T-28 I got yesterday from Shikaruna. Box art is beautiful...did a really nice job on this version. Now I need is the blue color version!
