Bandai has made no bones about producing plastic scale models based on pop-culture properties, from TV to movies to video games. If you aren’t familiar with Sakura Wars, don’t feel bad, because I wasn’t either. It started first as a Sega game release, and now there is an anime series from Funimation. But when the HG (High Grade) 1/20 scale Kobu-Kai armored suit came across my desk for review, I thought it’s steampunk aesthetic looked cool and was eager to dive in.
