Samurai 7 Benigumo Review

Behold, the massive statue that is a Benigumo from the anime series Samurai 7. There are several Benigumo models in the series but only one received retail treatment. The figure from Organic is made of resin, comes pre-painted, and retails for ¥98,000. Roughly $1,200 USD (not including shipping from Japan). Oh, and only 150 were made.
The design may remind you a little bit of The O or the Bound Doc from Zeta Gundam. They share the same designer, Makoto Kobayashi. His Benigumo designs are one of the show’s few saving graces.
PG Strike Freedom WIP 10: Update Shots
The kit is slowly moving along. Following the issues chronicled in my last update a lot of pieces have now been repainted and received new decals. Now I await some 60 degree days to give them a good top coat.
I do have some some other pieces finished though. Unfortunately there’s some silvering/air bubble issues on the shoulder armor. Oh well. Not much I can really do about it without delaying the whole project yet again to order more decals.
