G-Shock and Gespenst, peak 90s

Yep, I just realized that my G-shock seems to have the same color scheme as the Gespenst, just a lil bit of yellow accents will complete the look. Yes the 90's were awesome, thanks for watching.

just want to share some lore about the Gespents. There are a lot of variants of Gespent, from special ones to mass produced version, and the upgraded version of those mass produced models. This HG Gespent kit is the first Gespent ever made, the PTX 001 type R(apidity) specicalized in long ranged combat and speed, along with other 2 prototype PTX 002 type S(trength) for close combat and very high power output, and PTX 003 type T(est) for testing and gathering data. PTX 001 was later upgraded into Type RV. PTX 002 was stolen by alien during a test run. PTX 003 was under heavy modification to become the Gespent Mk-III, aiming for aerial combat and full frontal assault, but the end result is a ground type, heavily armored, packed with a lot of fire power and unbalanced unit named Alteisen (yes, the HG Alteisen model kit is basically a modified Genspent). Even though this "aerial combat and full frontal assault" purpose piece of brick can't fly, but equiped with strong booster, it can just jump right into the targets in the sky and stab them just fine. But due to the expensive cost and being to hard to pilot (only Kyosuke can bring out its full power), the Alteisen was denied of the title Gespent Mk-III. There is a P-Bandai Gespent kit, which is a Mk-II Type S, look basically the same as this one except it is blue and has a canon in its chest. The upcoming HG Weissritter release on March 2025 is originally Gespent Mk-II Type T, modified for flight capable combat unit (because the Alteisen failed to be the next mainline Mk-III).

Interesting. I also did a little bit of research about the gespenst and I found out that there's also a red version of it too, I've seen the upcoming hg weissritter and I like its structure but I'm not a fan of its color scheme. I really wanna get the blue gespenst mk.ll but it's expensive and hard to find since it's premium bandai, I would like to see the gespenst in red too but it'll probably release in premium bandai as well as the hg weisritter too. All in all the srw kits are awesome, thanks for watching.
