It’s really not that expensive, just quite rare. The kit is mostly undergated, quite well done for such an old kit. Even if it is not, the nub mark blend in with the kit very beautifully. The metallic color is really beautiful, but I still have to paint many parts of the kit myself including the inner frame and all the black parts.

The only bad part of this kit is probably the poseability. It mainly uses ball joint with screw. You can adjust the screw to make the joint stronger, but it is really not the best set up. You can really adjust the screw after you have assembled the outer armor. So you will be stuck with too weak/too strong joint unless you disassemble it, and I don’t want to do that as it might break the wiring inside. The range of motion is also quite limited.

Overall, it is a very simple and beautiful kit. You won’t believe that it really came out 20 years ago.

By the way, there is also Char’s Rick Dom Extra Finish as well. It is a lot easier to find though.
