QUOTE(chriswoo @ Oct 7 2013, 03:29 PM) From what i think, Technology and Design aren't issue for bandai as we already have 3rd party done so well with Kshatriya and fact the detail and given freebies are outmatch any current bandai had offer. only question they want to do it or not and time will tell. ur referring to elyn? Now i cant confirm this as i dun own 1, but from what ive seen so far non has posed in an action pose. Its just it standing straight with the binder's either spread open or close. Now i kno the binder is not lock in a set of position u can move it around but all the pics that ive seen so far hav its arm just straight down. Can the whole arm move around like normal mg with the binders attached? Can it hold its position say stretch out the arm perpendicular to its body (for the lack of a better example, can it do something similar to a nazi salute)? I'll like to be proven wrong on this but at the same time i wouldn't be surprise if it cant; just means it sacrifice possability with stability. While i dun particularly care wit it sacrificing possability as i think it still looks beautiful just standing there liek a boss, but Bandai themselves do as of late, and this could be whats holding them back.  we hav to see how the new sazabi is done. Its the 1st big kits post 2.0 (the-0 doesn't count, its made with old design from as far back as 2004) if this is done well, it'll open the flood gates for future big kits; and this includes the "totally-not-zeong" sinanju we got a glimpse of in epi6. Surely bandai is thinking how to milk unicorn further. If tey introduce someting so huge so hype but at the same time cant replicate in model form then tey just shoot themselves in the foot.

I do own the 3rd party elyn one but I still haven't build one yet but with a stand it can do more quite nice dynamic pose however if in term of balance between possability with stability i think it use plastic material compare to resin could give it advantage of lighter weight and more flexible in posing. but than i'm not too sure however picture can tell more better than words.    as for sazabi we can't speculate it until it release it final product, could be evenly good as the Hi Nu ka or other way around This post has been edited by chriswoo: Oct 7 2013, 04:57 PM

Interesting this does work to a certain extent.
