    I wish the helmet had paint on it. The GID body with red/blue looks great, but not having any detail on the helmet takes away so much of the character, IMO.

    I think it works with this version. To me a lot of the character is in the robo head underneath which never gets much attention with the big helmet. I agree that the helmet has loads of charm but I think if they even painted just the eyes and maybe small details on the helmet it'd still have taken away from the way it is now. If the inner head wasn't glow though this wouldn't work as well. There needs to be a good reason for an unpainted clear head at least.

    If anything maybe painted eyes on the helmet? But this version works very well as it is.

    I agree that at least there's a purpose for the clear helmet (to showcase the GID head underneath), and due to that it works. But for my aesthetics I would like the "widow's peak" area to be painted silver, and the "missile ears" to be painted red (right) and blue (left), and possibly paint the eyes red/blue and just leave the face clear to show the GID underneath. Regardless, it's my second favorite behind the first blue release - but with my paint scheme it might be first favorite! ;) (Oh, I'd probably also change the gauntlets from silver to red/blue...but now I'm getting really nit-picky.)

    Love the faces. Someone said here before they look like Booba from the Monster Parade mini's. Well I love those minis and I love this guy(s)?

    Shit Lixx, you double scored with the MB and the Badzilla?!! Yowzers!!! I'm not too into this MB version, but the Badzilla (as suggested) is probably the best version we've seen. How the hell did you get them so fast?

    Oh and guys the actual vinyl is a bright red. Looks orange in the pics but it actually is red, which is pretty cool (I only one other piece of vinyl in that color)

    If Zollmen does a GID version of Badzilla, I think I might crap my pants. :lol:

    I just remembered that the Badzilla was a Mandarake release, right? Maybe that's why you received it so fast? I won the Garimpo lottery for those crazy ass new Fancy Toys. I wasn't sure which one of them I won for, but from the size of the bill I paid, I think it might be for both of them. I'm dying to find out.

    I just made room for my glow MB today. Cannot wait. I'd really love to see a fully painted version with a clear helmet withjust the faceplate left clear. The inner head is so full of cool detail.

    Not a big fan of Badzilla, but it looks great in those colors (reminds me of the Vintage Yonezawa Dabura Tim is selling on BST)... congrats on the score!
