You'll probably need to paint a lot. Since the Hyper Shinken coat is an entirely new mold that's not placed on top of the existing Shinken body.

Thought so. Ah well.

I mean, if you're careful, the only painting you'd need to do would be the torso.

Everything else could likely be swapped with the standard blue parts with a bit of work.

That was my thought, the only issue would be color matching the blue.

you'd be surprised at how compatible sh figuarts are in terms of engineering. as previously stated the only issue would be color matching - which can be really difficult.

Ah yes, of course, that's the thing we needed most from “Absolute Conspiracy”. The random Taiga thing that I forget existed 5 minutes after the episode ended.

They really don't want to release Ribut and Grigio I guess? Heck, with the trailer for "The Destined Crossroad" out I assume they will only release a "Grigio Dark" instead.

To be honest, I figured they would eventually release that version of Tri-Strium after they did Zero Beyond Galaxy Glitter earlier this year.

What I can't understand is them hyping up the entire even around a repaint. For Christ 's sake, they even had the Grigio prototype in the livestream, why couldn't they have made that the release?

The story may not have been super great but Taiga is just such a nice modern take on the Taro design. Here's hoping Regulus gets a release. :rock:

Wait, this was the reveal for the stream thing they announced some time ago?

Oof.

This all the hallmarks of a typical Tamashii Nation showcase.
