It has been a long time we see any toy products from Escaflowne and with the courtesy of Goodsmile company, the fantasy dragon mecha had an opportunity for a comeback in Moderoid lineup! Moderoid Escaflowne will be scheduled for March 2020 release with 4300 Yen price tag. With that kind of price we will be getting a non transformable 14 cm tall Escaflowne Model Kit. Even if the anime was a downhill experience, Escaflowne is still a very good fantasy mecha design; a Testament of Shoji Kawamori's talent who is famed for Macross series. So i hoped the series could have more products but should Moderoid Escaflowne sells well, another rendition for Guymelef is a given. I won't be getting this one since i prefer finished product nowadays. Therefore i am still waiting for Bandai getting triggered and makes Robot Damashii out of this fellow. For a classic fantasy mecha genre, Escaflowne together with Dunbine and Rayearth makes the holy trinity so these three series worth a visit even i considered two of them to be wasted potential. Also Maaya Sakamoto did an amazing job for her debut in Escaflowne considering her age at that time.
Mine was the old version by Bandai - https://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2015/07/escaflowne-guymelef-action-figure.html?m=1 Guess I won’t be getting the new version.
