Well that... sucks, I thought they were doing something for the black lines on the body.

Something interesting from the instructions; it looks like they're not doing the silver stickers behind the eyes that's been standard for everyone except Ex-Aid

I suppose that's because the backing behind the eyes are already white, so it's not like the eyes would dimmer.

Still, not a hard fix.

Yeah Realistic Decals usually refers to stickers that have a clear backing, which means you won't see the white edge of regular sticker and the semi-transparency gives the illusion of paint. Ex-Aid had a whole duplicate sticker sheet of them. Hibiki used them for the forearms gradient effect.

Interesting. There are tiny tiny white stickers on the biceps. The belt switches are all stickers, which makes sense, but that's a lot of tiny stickers.

All the switches are indeed black. That will be a paint to paint! Whole colors are all white would've been better.

That weird set of silver stickers are for the drill module. And the white ring stickers are for the inside of the should joint. That's a funny detail they figured was worth a sticker.

I'm really tempted to buy two kits for double rocket module and Rocket States. Seems like an easy repaint?

As long as they don't do some weird thing where the rocket only attaches a certain way.

They'll almost certainly do Rocket States as a webshop exclusive

Looking at the manual, the rocket plugs into the hole where the hands would be. Sort of like how the Core Gundams plug their gauntlets on.

So, it's very possible, and also pretty much a signal imo for a Rocket States to happen. If only needing a bit of widening the hole in case.

Here's a closer look at the unpainted black switches

This looks like an out-of-box straight build with black panel liner. Those orange stickers don't look too bad!

That looks real good! I can forgive the switches being bare because at least they’re removable, and the driver is done in a material close enough to the actual prop. They should’ve done the same for the ziku driver instead of molding it in white
