No prob. I pre-ordered the Hi-Nu and Kyrios. I like these HCM Pro's. Smaller size is better for storage and you still get figures with the features and gimmicks you'd find on much larger versions.

Got the Kyrios & Hi Nu HCM Pros today. Opened the Kyrios first. It's very nice. The packaging features terrific box art. The figure itself is tiny as usual for this line, but it does transform and has pretty decent articulation (head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles). The shoulders feature sockets that pop out of the torso. Accessories include 2 beam sabers, rifle, extra pair of hands, shield/blade, and a clear STAND for posing in vehicle form. The shield itself transforms into a weapon for a nice touch. There are some MINISCULE moving parts on this figure in the form of fins that can retract. The transformation isn't as complex as that of the Zeta HCM Pro but still satisfies those who like transforming mecha. I have come to appreciate the small size of the HCM Pros (1/200 scale) because they don't take up much space and are still very detailed and articulated. However, Bandai's quality control hasn't been very consistent lately with the paint jobs. I keep finding minor paint errors such as overspray and splotches here and there (this even occurred with my Super HCM Pro). Oh well, not perfect but still worth a purchase IMHO.

The Hi-Nu HCM Pro figure. From head to toe it stands about 4" tall. First the PROS: ABS plastic construction, plenty of articulation including a new neck joint allowing for an additional 30-45 degrees of anterior/posterior movement, microscopic tampo printing, new UC figure (finally), comes with a stand for the figure and fin funnels, has 3 compartments for beam saber hilts, includes shield, bazooka, rifle, beam sabers, and 2 extra pairs of hands, it's compact for easier storage. CONS: kind of expensive, paint job could be better (still some splotches that don't belong), it's relatively small, no diecast metal. Overall, it's the only toy available for this Gundam that I know of so it's worth a look. Got mine from HLJ when the dollar was worth more against the yen. Unfortunately, for us here in the States, the dollar has been dropping quite a bit lately.

Thanks for the great pics goldorak. What do you think about the Hi-Nu? What about it's Quality Control? There's a gap between the backpack attachment and the torso with mine.

Deathscythe is fine, but what about a 1/200 HCM Pro Wing Zero? (The series version, not the goofy angel-winged version from Endless Waltz) **EDIT** just found this picture-  |

That's right; gotta have Epyon as well. And Tallgeese.  By the way; the more that I look at the pic of Deathscythe, the more I'm liking it. Did anyone notice the extra articulation on the waist? This thing is going to be cool! |

Thanks for the link; they look pretty cool. I'm hoping that Wing Zero, Tallgeese, and Epyon aren't far behind. |
