    So they are really going to redo the Original Rangeas colorways?!
    Somehow uninspired . . .

    Yeah, not sure why they're making dupe colors of the big ones. I think they can pull new fans in and keep the OG collectors happy by just coming up with new paint apps. This goes against my love for the Rangies but I'll pass on this one. I'll prolly pick it up opportunistically if someone's not feelin it. :|

    on top of the re-release of a colorway, the price is absurd. weren't the original standard size ones around $60 when they were released? i remember picking up the clear green gid from intheyellow for that. are these more expensive due to the cost of resin or something?

    I don't remember any that cheap, I think the least expensive one I got at retail was $85 but most were about $100

    I'm pretty sure these are vinyl, not resin.

    thanks for setting me straight about the price and material, guys.

    it's still disturbing that they're so similar in every aspect. i enjoyed rxh's minis because the sculpt and paint schemes were different enough yet maintained their referential familiarity. these, on the other hand, are virtually identical, and without something else in the photo for size comparison, can be easily mistaken for the original. i really wanted to like the new mid size line, too.
