[Shin Densetsu]

So I was right with my suspicion that the Movable Armor on the MG3 RX-78 was influenced by the same gimmick on the SHCMpro. The SHCM was a good line, I think it didn't last long because the Unicorn came with a lot of parts and while I understand the price increase; they were expensive pre-built models.

For the price of 1 SHCMpro you could probably get 3-4 HGUC models. Or a much larger MG. Plus for toys, there was Robot Damashii SIDE MS, Kidou Senshi, Gundam FIX, et al.

I think SHCMpro catered to the 80's HCM fans who wanted a modernized HCM that was more articulated. That's exactly what they got. Heh, the RG 1/144 RX78 looks like a buildable version of the SHCMpro.
