Wonderfully reproduced classic, now in actual gold colored plastic!
Very nicely retooled version of Aurora's classic kit. The new plastics are a bit less fragile and brittle, so you'll suffer fewer broken horns and spikes. It's not terribly true to the Japanese original, but has a great western comic-book feel thanks to being designed by famous Spiderman comic artist Dave Cockrum. This new edition is molded in a metallic gold color, much better than the blah off-white of the previous reissues, or the odd tan & flesh colors of the 1970's original. So a young modeller could snap him together, add a little color in his mouths & eyes, and perhaps spray paint the base some simple colors and have a truly eye-catching old-school model. Even the box is gorgeous on it's own.
