Artist's Comments

Gundam series often ignore the mass produced grunt mobile suits, and they take a backseat in model kit marketing. The Leo is one of these unloved manned incindiary devices. The only way to get a model kit of it at all is to hunt down this 1/144 scale Limited Model. (Limited does not refer to limited edition, it means limited commodity and quality). This is luckily the best Limited model, featuring full articularion. (most of them didn't even feature ankle joints)

Also, it cost $35. For a 1/144 Wing Kit. Yeah.

I love this guy, though. The Leo was one of the best deisngs in Wing, IMO, and I'm pleased as punch to finally have this kit after 7 years of searching for it. It came out quite well, I think, for a stock unmodified kit.

I had to check Yahoo Japan through Rinkya to get ahold of him.

They actually made a model for something in Wing that wasn't a Gundam or Tallgeese?

Only for a very short while, these were only made once, never or rarely reissued, and are double the price. You tack on inflation and shipping and you get something very not worth the while for most people. X3

With a Leo, there is no cost that's worth it. I'm surprised it didn't explode from jarring in the box.

It came disassembled. I assume the effects of a previous explosion.
:icondracostarcloud:
Ooo. Good point.

Which makes me wonder if that Leo stammered "Disassembled? DEAD?" before going in the box.

Oddly enough, I actually thought that exact line as I was building it. Out of dead nowhere, too. Scary.
:iconjakengine:
So. Rare. D8

Ebay for the win. And even then, they never pop up.
Great work man - these little guys deserve some of the limelight that the Gundams steal from them. Now if only I can find an Taurus.

Don't look at the clock. Do what it does. Keep going.
