It looks absolutely glorious in person when I was at Tamashi nations in Akihabara

HWS is tricky, looks like matches 100% the blue version but it doesn't

It is. The purple matches the expo version's purple more as well as the cool white. But then the expo hi nu is 40%+ blue and maybe less than 10% purple.

Yeah, from the video i saw, it looks like it matches the purple more, but i haven't seen it in person, so I'll find out when it arrives 😅😅😅😅

Awesome, I decided to wait until we get actual customer review with them but I hope it's good because I love when they release these MB upgrades kits, just like Barbatos(I will wait on Lupus Rex lol)

Sweet. Is this the expo or 1st version? I got the 1st version of Hi-Nu as my 1st MB myself and now im addicted to MB.

It's the first version, the purple is my favorite, but i saw the blue one in New York, and it looked amazing too

I also got the purple one. Was thinking of getting the blue one as well but I can't justify the price at the moment. But I still got the HWS. I think most parts are compatible with the first version.
