Yeah...might have to get this...if it weren't in some weird European knight motif! I'll take my SD chogokin Gundam in UC, please.

I don't understand why

I don't understand why Bandai feels the need to do ones like the knight,the samurai,etc. It's not like there aren't 500 different official Gundams to make figures out of. There's even variations of them,like say the original Gundam looks different in the prequel manga than it does in the show.
This kind of stuff is greedy,like that "Let's Go Fishin' Spidey" that was clogging KB shelves around 6 or 7 years ago.

Marketing LOL but to be

Marketing LOL but to be serious though, some of the designs aren't half bad. I got the SD Ryubi Gundam, from the Sangokuden line and it's a pretty fantastic kit. And for 8 bucks a kit you can't go wrong.

The Knight looks decent enough, but then I saw the word "Chogokin" this thing is gonna be crazy expensive, isn't it?

Price

It seems that it will cost a little under $50. That's not cheap, certainly, and it's more than I'd be willing to pay. Still, it isn't entirely unreasonable, either. If I were more of a Gundam (or SD) fan I might be temped.

As it is, I'll let this one pass by.

I know that this is rather old news, but I figured I ought to bring up my opinion of this product. To someone like me, the SDX line is like the toy that you've always wanted. As a kid, the first anime and Gundam exposure I ever had was from SD Gundam, in particular SD Gundam Gaiden which Knight Gundam is from. Honestly there have never been very good toys or model kits for the Gaiden series. I would know since I've owned almost all of them. I think that it's great that Bandai's taking the time to actually make all of these characters and I'm eagerly awaiting the second version of Knight Gundam along with Superior Dragon Gundam to come out.
