It's news to me...And I can't say I've even heard of that store before. The elbow and knee joints look very similar to Revolver joints...hmmm....
Anyway, it's a nice looking figure

They are a popular store selling recasts. I have heard decent reviews about them from some modeling forums I am on, but I have never bought from them.

WOw! I love the glossy finish! I dont know if its the same but I think i saw a revoltech Daimos custom before.. Using different parts from TF revo in other forum. Will look to that image bro. This one looks really cool. The paintjob and the details looks great! Im a big 80s Mecha fan and Daimos is one of my fav. FTW!

Yeah, E2046 are good people. They've been around the game for a while now. They have seasonal modeling contests and a pretty thriving forum as well.
As for the figure. LOOKS AWESOME! ( sorry 'bout the caps lock) Now I'm gonna have to preorder this kit. I'm betting it's a hobby show figure of some kind. Once they get a parts list perhaps we'll find out a bit more about this in terms of a maker and scale.
Unfortunately, since this will most likely be a recast, that means the joints will probably be recast in resin as well. A minor drawback. Can't wait to get one of these though!

I used to get Five Star Stories recasts from e2046 (and hobbyfan). The figure does look neat, but it's most definitely an unbuilt kit, probably a recast of an event exclusive scratchbuild. You'll probably have to supply your own revoltech joints (that's what they look like, anyway), and it'll be unpainted.

yeah e2046 concentrates on recasts not sure if they include polycap joints and pinning material which i doubt........ but they are one of the best recasters around and you save a bundle........ epecially if you cant get your hands on the originals.

its a recast...thats why u need to paint it....otherwise they would simply state it that its a completed colored kit.... saw this in hobbyfan.com as well!!! the painting is superb and like the extra weapons.....havent seen any good pose thou....but the ball joint really looks revyish to me!!! www.hobbyfan.com/popup_image.php?pID=7773&pic=

the yamato gn-u frame/joints would look cool with that.

good for hobby fans, but it will be hard to paint the face and details, i dont mind a recast with revoltech joints in it, it would be nice for posing since i dont really play with my toys(a recast that can do different poses.... Cool for me ). i might get one if i have extra $..... and most likely someone will sell this on ebay already painted but the price will go over $100.

Daimos Looks cool! if it's only Transformable, it's going to be sweet, which i know is impossible. as for painting, might let a pro handles it.
