HLJ will likely be at the same price as Amiami. Amiami's sale prices up till now have always been HLJ's early bird prices.

Keep pricing em like that and this line's gonna go the same place the others did. I think the head is definitely too small from every angle. Even if it's not small for a genosaurer it's small for a dinosaur. They've kinda oversized parts of his body, so leaving the head normal looks weeird

I agree with docker and Snowflake, the head is just...off. Add in that the CPC barrel is way too big and the feet look a little funny...I don't know about this one. And that pricing, YIKES! I'm guessing these won't sell out QUITE as quick as the Shieldys and Command Wolves. Koto needs to be careful about raising the prices too much with each succesive kit. It'll start to leave a bad taste in buyers mouths.
But if they end up doing a LTD Physco Saurer, disregard everything above ;D

I know, right? I'm not sure I can get this one...It can't be worth 8000, just for *finally* a kotobukiya evil bipedal dino zoid.

DO NOT WANT.
Maybe if we get a Breaker. But even then I think I'd need to do Things to the head, and I don't want to think about the price D:.

I've just checked the link, its now RRP 7800 Yen and on Sale at 7410 Yen. Better, but not much.
It was never on my Must Have List. Definately gonna wait for to see what the Ltd version will be.

AH!
I got it. I just realised why you all think the head looks small.
It's not the head at all. It's the neck. It's longer/thicker than the original kit.

Also, the back-of-the-head piece (part of the gun) is so light in color compared to the head that it doesn't register as well. The proto was all gray, so the head looked ok. I suppose I'll still get one. You only need one kidney to live, right?

D: That price is delegating this to a Christmas thing, not something I can go buy myself...

SRSLY! For 8000yen it should have magical powers and a working cpc. It should make you breakfast in the morning.
Maybe they figured out how to make them not fall apart, and it was a costly solution.

About the price, an answer I got from Japan :
"Price: 8190 yen (A little expensive.)
Various guesses are talked about also between users in Japan. Cost of metal mold,Ballooning oil prices and Other reasons. I think that the best reason is a cost of the metal mold. These metal molds are newly produced for this HMM series. The number of sales is limited. -> Price of the product goes up." I think I will have to take one fast... Lionel
