So what does this mean? Each box will come with all those pieces on it? If so that's a pretty good deal. But I still want to know what they are made of.

That's what I was wondering... and I'd actually purchase one if that was the case. Somehow I doubt it though. Pretty confusing reveal...

Looks nice. What is it made of? ABS or resin?

These look nice and I have seen some Junkeons on the TRU pegs lately... but I just can't bring myself to pay $70 bucks for each new Junkeon on my shelf. Wish these sets were $35-$40--then I'd buy a couple.

I just wish another 3rd Party company would come out with a similar upgrade kit... it's a great idea that could be really profitable if it was made at an affordable price.

I read somewhere this release is only 400 copies? That's a pretty stupid-low number, so no wonder they're not cheap... and that is not "mass production" in my eyes. If they produced a couple thousand at a much cheaper cost... I've no doubt people would eat 'em up.

I have enjoyed seeing the designs but a third party should come out with 100% new Junkion molds instead of add-on sets.

Courtesy of the Meteor Operation facebook page we have some new images of the mass production version of Maiden Japan's custom Junkion armor, B-01 Kingtiger III. The set includes:

1x head
1x Shield
1x Axe
1x Chest
1x Hip
1x shouler pad
1x Knee pad (Right)
1x Knee pad (Left)

My set arrived and I posted a review and pics: http://www.battlegrip.com/?p=42895

I got my set in and just put it on Junkheap. While the add-ons can be used for ANY Junkion with the same base mold, the colors complement Junkheap the most (but not exactly, like the reds are brighter).

Overall, very easy to put each of the pieces on, but I do caution you to be careful when putting the new axe in Junkheap's hand. Don't try to force the piece in, because I tried to swivel and it pulled some of the paint off the axe handle. The same can be said for the tab of the new spiked wheel that fits in the left arm. But I wouldn't worry too much about that small piece, not going to see it anyways.

I thought the idea of these interchangeable pieces and just how dynamic Maiden Japan went into offering different versions and colors really helps one get the "perfect" Junkion warrior. It may also be a maddening quest to try to rein in urges to buy several sets, because these are far from cheap. I'm glad I ordered this set, and would in interested in a different color scheme/mold in a more widespread production run. Of course, it'd be helpful if another run would be a bit cheaper.

Thanks for the review. So these are resin, correct?

I believe PVC, they don't feel like resin. Not able to find any further info about the material, and it's not listed on the package. Sorry.

Thanks.
