Drooling here, but that's my love for sword bots talking. What would make it perfect is a combo shot with Convoy, Star Saber and ... Dare I say it... King Exkizer.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one

You lot are just teasing with these pictures now, Star Saber already has my love, and soon my money, what else do you want! Of course to really get money out of us, they'll use Star Sabers release to announce victory Leo...

You're missing my point. It should have been pretty obvious that I was not referring to the gray prototype and/or the painted test shot - that's not what we're getting in the end.
All I was trying to ask, in different phrasing, was if folks thought the final product will be as sturdy as the test shots.

'Course, with Yuki being as big a Star Saber enthusiast as he seems to be, he might really be wanting to make sure that the finals are all sturdy enough.

Indeed! Your trust in Yuki and the process in general is refreshing.

I just realized, will the sword's blade even be able to be sheathed into the V-Star's body like on the show and G1 toy?

It may be me, but I'm spotting two storage compartments instead of just one. Could it be that the sword can be split?

That is a really ingenious idea to make the one time use weapon as something practical for the toy so you can avoid having to store extra parts separately from the toy.
The more I see Takara bringing in the updates, the more I really want my Star Saber.
