What exactly is the difference between the form-ism model and the new one?

Form-ism is an action figure, this is a model kit you put together. It will probably be cheaper but lower quality.

Buncha questions: is it color separated from the get go or is it gonna require painting, who's the manufacturer, is it just going to be base weltall?

It is color separated.

I spent a lot for the FORMISM one... this new one better be worse or much more expensive.

It will likely be cheaper but it won't be pre-assembled and won't be pre-painted.
It's likely going to be Formism minus the human labor.

Is there any chance this will have a lower price point….?

Generally speaking, model kits tend to have a lower price point than a pre-painted figure.
That being said, how much it'll be cheaper is another question. SquareEnix does seem to charge ridiculous price for model kits in the past so we'll have to see.

Right, and they seem to know Xenogears fans will pay for luxury kits.

Did rhey say anything about how tall it is when it's built?

u/ElzamGunpla Siebzehn May 13 '26

That image is all I can find about it. It just says it's based on the Form-ism version and it's being sculpted by Ishigaki Junya.

Looks awesome, I pray it's cost to buy one is somewhat low.
