According to ToyMaker’s review, during his trip to Hong Kong, he visited several stores in search of these Banpresto Desktop Head Display sets. And it seems that these items were really in demand. Majority of the shops have either sold them out or raised the price of their remaining stock by marking them up 2 times of its original price. Despite all these, he was able to still grab a few of them for himself and other enthusiasts.

His initial expectations of the display sets were not very high since the price was considerably lower than its G-System counterparts. But he was proven otherwise when he first opened the package, the moulding was quite accurate in terms of proporation and shape. And it is actually possible to remove some parts easily for colouring if necessary.

While G-Systems display head sets have very good detailings and LEDs installed, the details on the Banpresto units are kept at a minimum with no LEDs as well.

With the fillers done, let us move on to the main stars of the show. Below is a showcase of a collabrative effort between member from plamo.outhere and Zero-G forum:
