  1. Exclusive? This should be a regular release along with the green Leo.

  2. I agree with G-Slayer. A regular release. It'd be sweet if we could get the Taurus mobile suits. Those were my favorite grunt suits from the show when I was a kid.

  3. Yes the Aries is the tits. Looks like a jet fighter pilot with a bunch of jet engines and pair of wings strapped on.

  4. Yup, "Purple Leo" sure sounds better than lousy "Leo Space Type".
    Aries and Virgo would be nice, though.

  5. They should have thrown in the early beam rifle and not just the pistol to justify this as an online exclusive. That beam cannon seen in the intro destroying the shuttle would have been great too.

      You'd be more accurate if this TWSL item was the original Tallgeese (not unlike the TWSL TG II), but since this is based on the similar-yet-different (especially in size) Leo MS (that is supposed to be similar due it's mass-produced nature), it's not quite as accurate... Still, you're basically right.

      But given how I like the Leo as an MS design, I don't think of the milking as a bad thing. (By the way you word your message, I think you imply that it is, and if so, we'll just agree to disagree on our tastes here.)

      Though I wish it wasn't a TWSL item (which makes it all the harder to get), but that's splitting hairs. Some RDs that I find appealing (whether I have 'em or not) happen to be TWSL items (such as the RD Wing Gundam ver. EW, which I have), and this is no different. *shrug*

  7. Does it come with the beam rifle?

    I am asking because all other previous pictures don't show it with it.

      I would guess so; going by more recent pictures of upcoming items is usually better to determine what's coming with the product. If you went by previous pictures of RD Altron Gundam (TV ver.), the beam parts of Altron's Twin Beam Trident were blue. More recent pictures showed the parts to be the correct color of green.

      More than that, the first images of these RDs (and of Gunpla) are of their prototypes, which come in a monotone gray color, yet nobody would believe that would be how the final products would come out looking like.

    2. If the green Leo is anything to go by, then the purple one will come only with the beam rifle and about five hands, two fists, two holding hands, and a right gun hand.

  8. If it was the blue leo I would be tempted to get it. I agree that Aries and Taurus suit would be awesome to have. Especially if the Taurus suit came with the rifle and beam cannon.
