That's why I posted the pic that the blogger is showing for that swivel thigh joint. This is the first time I believe Bandai did it to their DX Valks. All their releases somehow has a bending thigh joint while the swivel left to right were done by the knee joint. But with this release, the swivel can be done from the thigh joint itself. So that's the thing. They remove the swivel joint like the ones in Arcadia and put it on the thigh joint instead. Look again on those photos. There's no photos in Gerwalk mode in A-stance mode in where the swivel comes from the knee. So basically, our concern will be is on the thigh joint. We just need to be glad if that joint will hold for awhile. I have a feeling that joint will be the fragile one. Unless it's diecast.
Yup, HLJ shipped mine too.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. Hope it will last.
And knowing that Kawamori supervised both designs. I guess, Bandai paid some royalties there.
