First post in a long time and its not Gundam related? Madness!
Okay so maybe it's not as mad as it seems, you see I simply love Aldnoah Zero and it's main character Inaho Kaisuke. The show has a coherent and nuanced story that provides sufficient intrigue to make it a compelling aside to the awesome action sequences. Perhaps most importantly Aldnoah Zero doesn't make me wonder why the characters choose certain actions, and in so doing avoids straining its credibility. Within the show and it's universe there is a reason for everything and rarely is that reason, "because it looks cool". Anyhow I'll leave my analysis of the show at that since this post is about Plamo!
A while back Collection DX outed an action figure version of this mobile suit known as the KG-6 Sleipnir. Given my adulation for the source material my interest was naturally piqued. However, when it comes to robots I for some reason - perhaps it's their mechanical nature - prefer to build them, so such action figures hold no real appeal for me.
This however (potentially) changes the game, Collection DX has returned to out a Kotobukiya produced model kit! Perhaps model kit is too shallow a term for this Plamo that is many things? More than a model kit the Sleipnir is a mobile suit from a series I love. The suit of my favorite character from that series. A uniquely mobile suit design and a 200 (7000 vs. 6800) bargain over the action figure.
Now it should be pointed out that all this excitement could just as soon shrivel into revulsion if the color prototype is the wrong shade of orange or has ugly nub marks. It's always a bit reckless to be enthused about grey scale marketing pieces such as this, that said it's almost certain that I'll be buying this kit and experiencing firsthand any joy or disappointment. Anyone else among the reading populous interested in this kit or am I alone in my bubbling excitement? Sound off below.
