That said as she's a garage kit she'll probably be recasted by a few people. Just be sure to get a good recaster- the ones from thailand are always awful.
I'd be totally up for painting and assembling her myself though. I'm good at painting and modelling, so it should be a breeze.
You know the x-transbots powerglide and wheelie arent just KOs of the jizai molds right ? Theyre upsized and the wheelie has diecast parts. Theres nothing lazy about them. Somebody sacraficed a very expensive jizai version to make those possible.
Upsizing and changing materials for certain parts is far from hard work- upsizing is done by KO companies all the time, and it doesn't change the fact that they essentially stole someone else's work and passed it off as their own without giving any credit to the original creator.
Thats why its called a KO. Its sole purpose is to make money. It wasnt made by people who design figures. But upsizing requires a lot more work than simple reverse molding. Thats why I said those upsized KOs are far from lazy. Additionally, I forgot to mention x-transbots added additional articulation not found on the smaller jizai version. Im just not seeing any laziness with the figure in hand. They accomplished their mission of improving the original figure while maximizing their profits. I call that being ambitious, not lazy.
