Yeah. I’m super pumped for this 3rd MG Sinanju Stein kit as well especially since the latest Stein Narrative kit was released in 2019... Not to mention how excited I am about the fact that this will be the 5th MG Sinanju Kit… BUT this is the 1st to Actually Color Separate the Sleeves!!! So yeah, that’s the greatest reason apparently I or Katoki himself could think of for this kit to exist.

Totally seems like it’ll be worth buying this kit a 5th time… because those sleeves! I mean come on! Why go with an original designed Ver.Ka, when you can modify the Sinanju for Ver.Ka release a 3rd time..? And literally saying the selling point for this kit is the color separation on the Sleeves, which they did on the RG already…. But yeah, why not sell a 5th ver. of an existing MG kit based off of that alone… it’s not like we only get 2 legit MG kits a year if we’re lucky….
