The cover art would look right at home next to anyone’s 1980s video game collection. As it should!

After a brief introduction to the game, you’ll get to see some nice poses and a handy guide on how to get the water slide eyes on.

From the plate layout, and lots of white space, it doesn’t look like too complicated a build.

Here are the highlights before the plates in alphabetical order. The faces are looking pretty sharp overall.

Some final thoughts. As a new kit from Kotobukiya, the overall quality seems quite promising based on the last few action figure type kits. The colors may be a little washed out, but let’s see how it looks all together, and what posing options are there. It’ll also be interesting to see if there’s a rhyme or reason for the unused parts. Let’s find out in Part 2! Thanks for checking this out.
