I just commented about this like the other week. Holy s***. I have the original Ver Ka. Only difference between this and the original is that this is made with polystyrene, and it comes with the bazooka. Before you would have to order this particular hobby magazine from Japan in order to get the Bazooka. Now you don't!
Unfortunately, the gold trims are actually stickers. I believe the RG (Real Grade) has the actual gold pieces on the sprews.
And I believe they fixed the torso that connects to the waist. I never had the problem with the original, but it was reported around the forums that the ABS would flex and eventually it would snap off. I don't think this one will anyway.
Anyways, I'm getting this. This will be my second Sinanju, and I'm indefinitely going to give this one a metallic coat. I did with the Ver Ka.
Lighting might be crap though, so sorry for the crap photos. Also keep in mind that this was my very first painted kit I did YEARS ago when I got back into the hobby seriously. Also I apologize in advance. It's been sitting on my shelf for quite some time so dust has collected on it. Painting it a metallic coat has made it a dust magnet.
Also considering that this is 49.99, that's dirt cheap compared to actual hobby stores in the city where you live.
In SF, it can range from 90-130$.
HLJ has it for about 56$ before shipping and tax. Amazon has it for 65$ before tax with free shipping. Tatsuhobby has it for 71.85$ before tax and shipping. Amiami has it for about 50$ before shipping, not sure about tax. Gundam Planet has it for 75.95$, no tax I think since its New York based, but there is shipping cost. 1999.co.jp has it for about 58$ roughly, not sure about tax and shipping.
So give and take, its worth the price. If you haven't built one, I highly recommend it. If this is your first MG, it can be a bit daunting as it's bigger than the average MG size Gunpla model. But I still recommend it.
It can pose extremely well, but keep in mind, this is still a model and not an action figure. I can still do the the full leg bends and the manipulators are from the Zaku 2.0 and Char Zaku 2.0 MG's. They're not the new 3.0 that you get on the RX 78-2 3.0 or the Nu Gundam Ver Ka. Still, it's an easy mod if you shave the plastic in between the fingers to get them to move individually.
All in all, and I'm sorry for this lengthly post : It's worth it. Get it.

ViraThanks! Might paint the next one either RG colors with different shades of red, or yellow and black. Haven't decided yet.
