The last step for this small guy is topcoat but that’s for a warm sunny day. Anyway, it’s the Shokew! I love it and everyday I’m asking Bandai for more Victory suits. Please!

truly "war is bad - wow cool robot" is not merely a tonal spectrum but the symbiosis which drives the real robot genre
Victory’s suits hit a really sweet spot of their component shapes feeling like military hardware, but their level of detail and overall aesthetic is still distinctly “cartoon robot”. They hit that aesthetic a Macross Valkyrie unintentionally arrives at by literally being an F-15 Eagle that’s scrambled into anthropomorphic shape.
