Which one was that again? I don't remember seeing it anywhere. Actually, I
never even heard of it up until a few posts ago.

For one, I think they should have labeled the PG a Master Grade, and
improved upon it some more. I'd like to se an Eva w/ fleshy, humanoid legs,
with detachable armor coverings. Same goes for the arms, with a skeletal
foam rubber covered hand, so you can have the jointed fingers, and it
doesn't look at all mechanical.
I like what they did with the head, but they should have made it out of foam
rubber, make it seem a bit more organic.

Nah, with the new MG kit out, it'll be quite a while before they do one of
those. Damn shame, too. I'm thinking it's gonna be something from CCA or
Zeta. The Hyaku-shiki has been loooooooong overdue for a makeover, and those
early plastic injection kits of it don't nearly do it justice.

I don't mind the cost. if it's a nice it, I'll drop the money on it. The
only thing I hate about resin is that it's a major pain to work with when
you're not working on a fixed pose kit. The only things I really do like
about resin cast is that it's stable as hell when you're done, mistakes
cover up really easy w/ gap filler or putty, and it sands nice.
