Seems like Bandai got really triggered with the Plamax release of Sirbine Model Kit two months ago and decided to release their own version of the Silver Knight's Model Kit to one up the game! Due to reasons there are some deviations of the aesthetics of the Bandai's model kit compared to the original design but it still looks great and comes with shield nonetheless. Bandai's HG 1/72 Sirbine will be scheduled for July release with 3800 Yen price tag which is a good price if it is not for P-Bandai status.
In terms of proportions, HG Sirbine looks pretty much close compared to the Robot Damashii version with minor tweaks on some parts, for instance the Chest part is a solid color instead of tranparent, perhaps due to difficulty to make quality parts for the cost. Also for some reason the shield design is different compared to the original one with the HG version is less roundish and looks something from Galient, probably has to do with the Plamax copyright or something. Would have gotten this if i didn't had the Robot Damashii version already and given Bandai's efficient reuse of resources, i could see Tamashii Nation could release this version eventually which i don't mind to double dip.
