Metal Build Plus 1/72 Strike Gundam (Magic Toys)

[Mark]

Looks like another 3rd party company is taking a crack at their own Metal Build.  They call themselves "Magic Toys", and so far they seem to have only made a few decent plastic model kits.  It'll be 1/72 scale or roughly 25 cm tall.  No word yet on price and release date.

Apparently it'll also have an LED gimmick.

I imagine it has to do with legal and competition issues, since there is a likelihood that Bandai may make an MB Strike in 1/100 scale.  A lot of Garage Kit (resin) companies also make their kits in 1/90 or 1/72 scale to avoid legal issues with Bandai, since Bandai doesn't make kits/figures in those scales.
