In the anime the lupus and lupus rex was awsome. As far as the hg goes i dont mind paint the missing colors and looking at it makes me think of a warewolf. Personally i like it
thank you thank you for bringing back the normal review time length. thank you for providing content with effort for your subscribers. the old mecha gaikotsu is back
Atra: are you I love with a certain someone?Mika: yeah.Atra: is is it Kudelia?Mika: noAtra: me?Mika: no.Atra: Barbatos?Mika: no.Who is it?Mika: Mace-chan.
The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯 I absolutely love the perportions of it but i would like to see a function to turn it into a quadraped... after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER! with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat. so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯 That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯 it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully... The Devil of Tekkedan...😎💪🤘🤘🤘💯😈
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
I know the color correcting stickers are pretty bad, but that never stopped me from loving this Gundam design, when I first got this kit & finished building it, I immediately fell in love with this Gundam.
I have mixed feelings about the Rex, I like the idea of the huge arms, considering Mika's fighting style, and I think in an action pose the Rex can look good. Just standing though... yeah it's off.
I've did a painted build for the sake of my review (which I hope you can check out, BTW) because I can't stand the straight build as it lacks too much coloring. I colored even the symbol on the tail.
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
All of the versions are nice indeed. I love Lupus Rex the most as it's perfect for its story, and only a natural evolution. Bet the original creator(s) of this Gundam frame would have been surprised at the beast it eventually became hundred of years later. The hand claws and huge arms say it all. Beast Gundam-nothing like the more elegant Gundams across the many universes. It should be judged in its context. I feel it's a great design, and its head still has a "classic" aura of sorts, so it still resembles the idea of a "traditional" Gundam while not being conventional at all. This set is awesome, the reviewer just subjectively dislikes it. As he himself said, if you are going to paint it, no problems at all-which is why I did, to replace all but the eye stickers. OOB it requires some work to look "perfect" (IMHO), but if one is not picky, it still looks great with its massive, intentionally exaggerated proportions.
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
This is my first kit, I play Warhammer so the snap on parts definitely made things easier. I really like this model though. It wasn't hard to put together and in all honesty the arms and legs are a little wonky but it's ok haha I'm happy with it all around though. For a noobie I'd give it a 8/10 Some of the pieces are unbelievably tiny and like he said about the stickers being big haha
Very cool review! I'm going to unbox this exact model in my channel so I was looking for pointers on how to title the video and such things. It looks beautiful finished, I can't wait to complete it. PD: the most important aspect I learned from you was the camera angle >_< I had no idea a facefront assembly would be so tough to watch with such minuscule parts.
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists. Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
hmmmm ... I have a feeling the body, torso and head were meant to be a customization base, the rest ...... eh For example, i've been imagining a Barbatos Lupus Rex with Rex's Head, Waist, torso and legs, Lupus' arms, Rex's shoulders, Rex's arms are mounted on the Rex's backpack somewhat like Gusion Rebake. I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
Most of those are leftovers from the HG Barbatos. There's also an additional bicep, elbow, & forearm that looks like it probably came from the Barbatos Lupus.
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
5:29 try repainting the wire with a bright color or the red lightning effect color lupus rex has, a little costom and the junky wire, it'll actually looks good
I think what's off about this kit is the torso proportions, it's just too short or small. a builder/page named mokimats extended it's torso and it look normal and cool.
I built this kit yesterday, and i found that there are parts to built mini MS with similar frame to Barbatos Which kits should i buy to finish the little one.
As we all know that the Lupus Rex was taken from the Mobile Armor part to upgrade. I wonder what they doing with the Laser Beam part? That puzzling me...
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
hey, at least the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex is looking pretty sweet, and it fixes pretty much all the missing color without stickers, as we've seen pics of it without any stickers or paint
in fact, all it's missing is the yellow fingers, and those would've been hard to do when it's essentially a No-Grade. even Master Grades don't really do that (I'm looking at you, MG Astray Red Frame)
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
Despite me hating the design, I can say the kit itself is quite good for an IBO HG, I don't really understand why people are complaining about the stickers as it's always been a thing with IBO HG's.
Because the Grazes are extremely simple, it's not just them too, it's with Man Rodi, Shiden, and more simple IBO HG's _tend_ to have less stickers. But in recent times, we've been getting a lot of stickers that could've easily been parts. Looking at the Rouei, Helmwige Reincar and the Full City especially.
I totally get what you mean with the color problems. Doesn't help with the claws when the box art and their pictures of the model have golden claws. Thought I didn't get the stickers until I checked the manual. Either way at $15 and getting some really nice poses out of it, it'll make for a good painting attempt.
Sorry I've never bought a kit how would I go in buying this model exactly as is ? I don't have anything as of now I don't know if I need to buy anything prior to getting this kit or where I can even buy this can anyone help me out ?
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!
The more bestial proportions don't bother me one bit, the design is supposed to be more of a beastly, berserker type. And with the addition of the tail blade (which in the anime, seems to function a lot like how Scorpion's spear in Mortal Kombat does)...yeah, that cements the more bestial nature of the Lupus Rex. What DOES bother me is the quality of some of the parts. I haven't had this thing doing that much in the year that I've had it, but the ankles have gotten loosey-goosey ALREADY, and the back of the left hand has popped off and gone missing, meaning that I'll no doubt need to hunt down another copy of this thing JUST TO FIX THAT. On the other hand, maybe that's not such a bad thing: I love those open hands, they give me a very distinct Shining Finger/Godfinger vibe. Maybe with an extra kit, I could paint that extra right open hand to resemble that? (Or perhaps a bright red to be its own thing: Lupus Finger!!) And just as a nitpick, I also don't particularly like how the Lupus Rex ditched all instances of the stylized power symbol. That seems like it was a hallmark of the Barbatos that should've stayed in some way.
My Lupus Rex's hip joint got broken... I glued it back and it's still poseable... And the joints get loose over time... Is it just me, or is anyone experiencing with their Lupus Rex?
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
In the anime the lupus and lupus rex was awsome. As far as the hg goes i dont mind paint the missing colors and looking at it makes me think of a warewolf. Personally i like it
rasheed gregory well lupus rex does mean mean wolf king
Honestly,I still love lupus rex
barbatos lupus rex the demon bearded wolf king
Man it's a real pain watching that wire getting "abused"
Quang NX ikr I kept cringing
I was waiting to see if it was tear. ^_^
The point is to show potential buyers what a lot of posing will do to it. Thank the man, he took one for the team.
to be fair, they incorporated the sub-arms and rifles directly into the forearms, so the huge size is justified.
Ahmad Asnawi or maybe the barbatos just needed a bigger fap hand
justified functionally, but aesthetically, the arms look too wonky and goofy on that torso.
@@minionedifier7776 of course it is my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
@@minionedifier7776 ur opinion, I don't like it.
Someone pointed out that the design of this gundam is based on a werewolf
"The balls are much larger than before"
I need to mature myself
With a name like "Rex", you'd think the ridiculously gigantic arms were meant to one-up a certain famous dinosaur....
YayaFingerButters actually Rex also means king that's why Barbatos lupus Rex is referred to a wolf king
YayaFingerButters ...Wrong
It was a joke, he wasn't trying to be accurate to the series.
Jetfire48 i love the design of barbatos lupus rex it is unique
Rex: Latin for king :)
The more and more I see the proportions they are growing on me....it looks very wolfish the more I see it
Crow Dash exactly.. thats why its called lupus rex.. wolf king
No that would be artorias with his Farron Fanboys

Lol

The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯
I absolutely love the perportions of it but i would like to see a function to turn it into a quadraped...
after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER!
with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat.
so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯
That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯
it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully...
The Devil of Tekkedan...😎💪🤘🤘🤘💯😈
I'm glad they got rid of that long side skirts!
3:00 do people keep forgetting the fact that bandai made IBO kits to be much cheaper in cost than most hgs before
This didn’t age well
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
i dont care i will still buy it!
same just paint all yellow with gold, and adjust the waist piston size with runner. problem solve!!!
cool idea!
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
Ye me too cis i love this kit
Same this mobile suit is pure gold
Whoever engineered the head on this kit, deserves the sloppiest of toppie, it was soooo intricate but easy to assemble.
I know the color correcting stickers are pretty bad, but that never stopped me from loving this Gundam design, when I first got this kit & finished building it, I immediately fell in love with this Gundam.
I have mixed feelings about the Rex, I like the idea of the huge arms, considering Mika's fighting style, and I think in an action pose the Rex can look good. Just standing though... yeah it's off.

I just watched the last fight and the arms are about that size

"Mecha Gorilla". that is exactly the first impression i could ever get from rex.
Since this is the last form of the Barbatos, Barbatos Lupus is the best form of the Barbatos.
Spee9dy Agreed
Spee9dy nope
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
+tansend arga you're not weird at all. It's not about what other people like , it's about what you like.
Agree. The rex is just ugly imho.
I like how they're slowly turning the Barbatos into a dinosaur.
Dio Brando Eh not entirely the entire point of the rex being added on is just to give him the title wolf king
For Me It looks like Humanoid Scorpion
Raise your hand if you like barbatos lupus than the lupus rex
At first, I read "Raise your flag"...
What a shame, I was so proud of you for 3 seconds, man...
I raise my flag
if its as a gunpla then "yes" but anime wise, im more of a lupus rex fan
@@definitelynothiiragi9108anime lupus rex was badass
All of the versions are nice indeed.

Man j personally love this design I think the beast aesthetic suits the model really well. Posed accordingly this thing looks like a BEAST
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
Lawrence Michael Cruzo The old shoulders got completely fucked in the show xd
Rex or Lupus?
lupus, one was chop by hasmal tail blade and the other shoulder was severely damage when holding the giant buster sword,.
Too much blue for me.
I swapped the blue shoulder with the red lupus one, honestly looks more fitting bcs its bigger. Also the overall red makes it look more "evilish"
This is my first kit, I play Warhammer so the snap on parts definitely made things easier. I really like this model though. It wasn't hard to put together and in all honesty the arms and legs are a little wonky but it's ok haha I'm happy with it all around though.
For a noobie I'd give it a 8/10
Some of the pieces are unbelievably tiny and like he said about the stickers being big haha
Plus I'm a fan of the anime so yeah may be a bit of bias here
This might be an old comment but I think it being simple and easy to build is also good if you want to paint it at some point.
Very cool review! I'm going to unbox this exact model in my channel so I was looking for pointers on how to title the video and such things. It looks beautiful finished, I can't wait to complete it.
PD: the most important aspect I learned from you was the camera angle >_< I had no idea a facefront assembly would be so tough to watch with such minuscule parts.
is anyone talking about the extra pieces in runner A??
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
+Daniel Weaver I love the proportions of the rex, I just don't feel this kit does it justice
Like what?
Personally, I LOVE this version of the Barbatos. Going buy this one.
So far my only IBO kit I've built. I actually enjoyed putting it together and didn't mind the stickers.
i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists.
Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.
hence why I plan on combining my Lupus Rex with the Barbataurus for my custom build.
I love that you can be critical but not negative great reviews keep it up
This is pretty much my most favorite gundam
for the wire...just get a thin clear peice of heat shrink tubing, and it will add a ton of rigidity to keep the wire from getting messed up
Just ordered mine for $22! It will be my first gundam so I can’t wait
Mine too :D
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
hmmmm ...

I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
Thanks for the kit bash suggestion, it'll really appeal the people who are on the fence about this and already have the normal Lupus.
Just finished this kit. The length of the arms and size of the feet work better in action poses than as a standing up straight pose.
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
I fell in love with this kit and tryin to save up for it as my first Gundam kit, it's also kinda remind me of guts from berserk
I want a 1/60 version of this.
I love this form, it feels more beastly. I just wished the claws themselves were larger.
Barbatos is designed like a demon. Think of it as a mechanical demon and it's gorgeous.
are you going to review julia reginlaze ? i'm just asking
hey anybody knows why this kit has so many extra parts? like chest, arms etc
Most of those are leftovers from the HG Barbatos. There's also an additional bicep, elbow, & forearm that looks like it probably came from the Barbatos Lupus.
yes I've been waiting for this video all day
I like this Barbatos!
Also it looks like a beast with a tail
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
Mine sadly didnt come with the wire
omigosh this video was in my feed just after my binge of IBO season 1!
This must be destiny!!!
seed destiny?
sorry i had to
Keep em out for Barbatos....You sir, have a new subscriber.
Great reviews too!
5:29 try repainting the wire with a bright color or the red lightning effect color lupus rex has, a little costom and the junky wire, it'll actually looks good
Damn, this is already out? It felt like this would be out a bit later.
I think what's off about this kit is the torso proportions, it's just too short or small. a builder/page named mokimats extended it's torso and it look normal and cool.
What the use of extra part
The legs are completely the same ones as lupus except for the huge toes
My main issue with it is the ball joint connecting the torso to the bottom half is a very loose connection
and few years later, a ver.ka of this will be released.
lupus is still the badass barbie
I built this kit yesterday, and i found that there are parts to built mini MS with similar frame to Barbatos
Which kits should i buy to finish the little one.
Even though I’ve heard the many issues that this mobile suit has. I’m still going to get it.
For parts that is
Where did you get that clip you use to demo the arm at around 1:33?
As we all know that the Lupus Rex was taken from the Mobile Armor part to upgrade. I wonder what they doing with the Laser Beam part? That puzzling me...
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
July 2021, was able to find this kit and HG Barbatos at Target for $17 USD.
My dad and i made this, unluckily it's so flimsy. But overall i think it's great at posing, but I wonder how these guys stabilize it.
any sticker for any gundam to me... anxiety inducing
Do you need any tools to assemble this model
Nippers, Hobby Knife, sanding tools, if thats what you're asking
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
My father got this for me and im very excited to build it
What other paint should I use to color the fingers except for Tamiya paints. Can I use poster paints?
I guess you finally realized that the HGIBO kits were designed with customization in mind.
For anyone who bought this kit. Did yours come with the tail blade wire
hey, at least the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex is looking pretty sweet, and it fixes pretty much all the missing color without stickers, as we've seen pics of it without any stickers or paint
in fact, all it's missing is the yellow fingers, and those would've been hard to do when it's essentially a No-Grade. even Master Grades don't really do that (I'm looking at you, MG Astray Red Frame)
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
How much inch 7or8
"The balls are much larger than what we have seen before"-Mecha Gaikotsu
I don't think color is an issue when it comes to Gundam because you can costumize your own Gundam by colouring it.
not tryna be rude, but have you seen Blood Orphans? he looks like this for a reason
I personally love the look of Barbatos lupus rex
Despite me hating the design, I can say the kit itself is quite good for an IBO HG, I don't really understand why people are complaining about the stickers as it's always been a thing with IBO HG's.
ExtremeSManpig With the grazes, you get a few stickers, with the Gundams, you get a lot of stickers.
Because the Grazes are extremely simple, it's not just them too, it's with Man Rodi, Shiden, and more simple IBO HG's _tend_ to have less stickers. But in recent times, we've been getting a lot of stickers that could've easily been parts. Looking at the Rouei, Helmwige Reincar and the Full City especially.
ExtremeSManpig Yeah, I Have the full city, and I agree with you on that one
6:00
Me during No Nut November
U do know there's two holes on the booster sides right it can be used as a weapon holder
I totally get what you mean with the color problems. Doesn't help with the claws when the box art and their pictures of the model have golden claws. Thought I didn't get the stickers until I checked the manual. Either way at $15 and getting some really nice poses out of it, it'll make for a good painting attempt.
i'm interested in barbatos long distance booster and barbatos rex so wich one should i buy?
i would say the torso and waist part are to wide, skirt armor are to thick too, which make the stomach area kind of covered and look short
Really wish this model was better proportioned. Considering getting it just for the tail attachment.
Sorry I've never bought a kit how would I go in buying this model exactly as is ? I don't have anything as of now I don't know if I need to buy anything prior to getting this kit or where I can even buy this can anyone help me out ?
I love the concept of this kit the beastial elements of the claws and tail, hopefully the 1/100 has better proportions.
how about the full mechanics 1/100 barbatos lupus rex ?
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!

My Lupus Rex's hip joint got broken... I glued it back and it's still poseable...
And the joints get loose over time... Is it just me, or is anyone experiencing with their Lupus Rex?
I got this kit and it has an extra mini frame don't know if its is for an extra set or what i need to know
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
I might get this suit.
Combine the "lupus" and rex parts.
Might just put the claw hands.
I think this baby would look great with the Kimaris trooper's lower body. I don't have the Rex yet so I love to ask if anyone's tried that yet?
