    1. I know! It should have been a regular release- like the GM II AEUG!

  2. There are so few differences between this and the normal version. Why this is an exclusive release or even made at all is beyond me...

    1. Nah brah. Open your eyes. It's got a new backpack, head, vulcan pack, crotch, color scheme and awesome modular shoulders. The D-type was designed in the spirit of the high customizability of the original Jegan design. It's actually pretty cool if you look into the available research material.

    2. you can just buy Jegan ECOAS type, swap some part, and paint it...why bother buying exclusive?

    3. Also no. People, this is a hobby all about attention to detail. The ECOAS model has the wrong head.There's no other way around it. Even with the sniper visor red-dots thing removed, the sculpt is still structurally different because it was designed to accommodate the visor. You might be thinking that you could just swap that rubbish head out for the normal one that comes with the kit, and you could! But if you really cared about detail accuracy you wouldn't because it'd bug the crap out of that it's not the D-type head! BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT!

    4. I agree. It's all about the detail. If you know how to use putty and are willing to kitbash, you can actually use Stark Jegan's head and rest of the ECOAS Jegan to recreate D type easily.
      But the total cost might be higher than buying this exclusive.
