It does come with the much coveted CP-A1 part.

The label by the gatling says you spin it by hand. 手動 is manual [operation]. The regular Kong is also there for comparison purposes, not included.
I stand by my observation this could have been so much cooler. The A1 part's nice, but it's not even anime-accurate D:.

If I think of Iron Kong SS as Schubaltz's Zoid, then it definitely is a disappointment.
On the other hand, if I think of it as just a different coloured Iron Kong with a gatling gun, I feel better about getting one.

Agreed --providing it's not more expensive to get the IKSS versus acquiring a Kong and CP-03. |

Well, I think the going rate for an Iron Kong is about $40-$50, and a CP-03 is about $15... And I think the IKSS is gonna be about $100 with shipping. SO not worth it. I want one, though. >.>

One might get a CP-03 for $15 if one is willing to buy about 10 of them and pay about $40 shipping to the US. A CP-03 here in the states is gong to run about $28-$30USD with shipping. And I think I just saw a Hasbro Kong sell on Ebay for about $85USD. And then there's finding that CP-A1 to get that special part...
SO, in terms of a new color scheme, the CP-03 and the coveted CP-A1 part, I don't think it is that unreasonable, even at $100USD. But I wouldn't buy in to one for that kinda change. Mebbe $65 . . . Mebbe....

The color is cool..but it lacks that triple barrel cannon on the back. And i wish they included a shubaltz figure/pilot at least. Not worth the expensive price that i've been seeing lately. Though it would look pretty cool with the jet pack CP attached

I bought a CP-11 weeks ago. I've only got two Iron Kongs, so I'll try to get this new variant to keep them company. Still hoping for a Iron Kong PK re-release though.
