Beautiful toy. Awesome pick up man! I'm sure this one cost a pretty penny.

Very nice - the articulation looks awesome, joints look tight - I have the CMS version - I wonder how the both of them compare?

Yeah it looks pretty stunning. I wonder how it compared with the CM's (height, weight, paint job, articulation, and accessories).

Aw geeze, man, very nice. This was a toy that I really, REALLY wanted, but Wave pretty much made it impossible for me to get it . I'm going to have to content myself with drooling over your photos. Congrats on getting this beautiful piece. I wonder how it compared with the CM's (height, weight, paint job, articulation, and accessories). I've only owned the CM's, but if I had to guess I'd go with - Taller, heavier, nicer, better, same. The CM's was -okay- but it had a tendency to fall apart since it was heavy metal and loose ball joints. Very annoying.

Is this version die-cast? What is the metal content like if so?
Great photos by the way!

So with a quick Google spin I find out that it's a sold out Wave online store exclusive? Seriously, is it still possible to get one anywhere?

I own the CM's version and love it as a display piece but not as a toy for reasons Quin stated above (except mine never fell apart). As for comparison between WHAM And the CM's, I would have a hard time imagining that the WHAM would be heavier as the CM's is about 90% metal! Even the freaking sword is metal. Paintjob on the CM's was nice but it appears the WHAM was even better.

Must be expensive!

26250 yen (~US$340). Add the middleman's cut and extra shipping fees to this, since this is a Japan-only webstore exclusive.
The original non-metallic version was 18800 yen (~US$245) at HobbyLink Japan (now discontinued).
