Not bad looking actually. Got couple of tones on its body unlike some gold coloured robots that come in a single tone.

They just need to get this thing finished so we can get it. Something in addition to the gold one though.

Oh dear, that is rather ugly. I've been trying to put my finger on what makes me really hate this design so much? I finally realized it's because while classic Reideen in one of the most distinctive and unique designs in the robot pantheon, this one looks exactly like every other roided up 90's robot. That gold colored demo unit is what makes you realize it. Look at it there without Reideens traditional coloring. If you did not know ahead of time would you realize that that was Reideen? They could have painted it differently and called it Zeorymer or Escaflowne and nobody would have known the difference. The sculpt is some sort of generic interchangeable 90's bot. Nothing in this design leads one to suspect that this was supposed to be Reideen, not even the head. Especially not the head. It's like somebody sketched out a "modernized classic robot" full of kibble, then asked what they could sell it as?
edit to correct "autocorrect aphasia"

also i guess they are showing this because its ultimate form ? Not ultimate form per se, just that Raideen is all gold before the pilot 'fade in' into the cockpit and turn into full color. So can't really fault them for a gold repaint. Its in the show...

You have to think the red/blue color scheme is not far behind. Cuz, that's what I had originally thought the colors would be. Not sure if I want an all-gold version...not at this pricepoint.

No problem guys, but when I said I prefer the classic look I meant by that original one from the show. Like the SoC ver.

The pictures you posted were just so nice to me that I have to get them both. I like bulk and heft of Fewture EX. Now I'll try to look around for a SOC after I look at some reviews. Thanks again.

For once, i might just drop the anime/original colour one in favour of the repaint/gold version. Seeing those pictures posted by bader, i just gotta have one. I rarely have any expectations on how closely a super robot should resemble its anime origins because i hardly watched any of them. Not really bothered if the arms are 2mm thicker or the body have an extra chest plate or the colour is a shade darker than the anime version. As long it looks good to me and i can afford the space and money, i will most certainly grab one. But thats just me But i do hope they get the final production units right. Even the slighteset paint chips will mess up the look of this robot and not to mention shoddy paintwork.

exactly that's how i roll if the figure looks and feel solid, anime accuracy is not a top priority for me also judging from the recent releases i got from Fewture, they got the paint chips problems covered, the main problem was due to the size, weight of the figure and poor protection most of the scratches happens during the shipping, with the recent releases they are putting alot of protection around the figure joints and on parts that keep hitting each other during shipping, so you are getting no problem with the paint, the only problem im having with them is the price and the insanely tight joints
