Gundam Sinanju Hajime Katoki Model at Entertainment Earth

I’ve mentioned how the rereleased Aurora monster model kits are pretty tempting a few times now (mentioned here and reading post here), but another type of model kit that looks fun is the mecha models; especially the Gundam model kits like this one at Entertainment Earth.*

“This MSN-06S Sinanju Master Grade (MG) Model Kit is 1:100 scale and made of plastic. This Hajime Katoki version of the Sinanju from Harutoshi Fukui’s novel series Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn presents an accurate rendition of the Sinanju’s distinctive organic appearance, along with tons of features, incredible detail, moving parts, and a detailed history of the Mobile Suit and story. This truly awesome kit will provide a lifetime of enjoyment as you build, detail, customize, and then admire it for many years to come!”

“The Sinanju’s array of features includes:

  • Detailed cockpit with an opening hatch.
  • Large backpack unit incorporates a sliding feature that moves the external armor when the thrusters are opened.
  • Leg units incorporate flexible thruster units.
  • Head unit incorporates a linked mono-eye mechanism that moves along with the head.
  • The complex form of the shield is rendered with total accuracy, and the inside of the shield has a mounting arm for storage of a Beam Axe.
  • Shield-mounted grenade launcher can be detached and reattached to the rifle. Includes individual grenade units.
  • Beam Saber and Beam Axe incorporate large “effect parts” molded in translucent yellow.
  • Includes a detailed history of the Mobile Suit and story written by the editorial staff of Gundam Ace magazine, which is serializing the Gundam Unicorn novel.
  • Includes Gundam decal markings. Gold highlights can be rendered either with stickers or optional water-slide version decals.”

Great-looking mecha design, but where would I find the time to assemble this thing?
