This is a beauty. Not diggin' the light clear stand arms though but I guess they needed more to set it apart from its two predecessors. I have both the Popynica and Chokogin and they have all black stands that don't stick out like these do. Still, I'm considering this one because its created from 3D data taken directly from the series, and that series is so, so good.
