Those are some ill-placed gates. Tho, I guess this is just a special coating and slightly updated version of the MG, so it's not surprising.

The coating at least looks good tho and very reminiscent of how it looks in the show. Unlike the standard Figure-rise's standard mint green plastic and the SS's pure green.

yeah it's literally just the MG model with a special coating applied and parts pre painted from what I can tell from the images of the runners. which ties into my biggest issue with kits like this, unless a model is designed with the intention of being given a special coating like this (say the Hyaku Shiki from Zeta Gundam) the gates aren't placed properly to hid the nub marks with under gating techniques meaning that there are going to be a ton of little marks all over the model ruining the look

Box art for Figure Rise Standard Ryuki! I'm so excited!

Ahh looking cool! Super excited for this one as well. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep Dragreder just because my display isn't that tall.

this too

A 2-foot long DragRedder? Sheesh, I don't collect this line, but what a steal.

Have to wait to see how good the red plastic looks for Dragredder, but the Ryuki figure looks leaps and bounds better than that old SHF. If you missed out on that set this probably a better replacement

does Ryuki always has that weird round thing on his visor?

Do you mean the bulge on his eyes? If so, yes. The whole head looks normal to me.

I hope that silver is the same silver as Den-O.
