Action poses are a problem due to the chronic lack of worm gears, but they are

This is a problem and that is why I am releasing as many pictures of ZERO now.
See, I do not know if I am coming back or not, and if I do not my Legos will
be stuck here.  Chances of me completing a 6ft Gundam are extremely slim at
best. This is why I am trying to inspire people to build large Gundams, for
chances are I will not be able to even attempt such a thing for the next
several years.

Maybe you will be able to make that six foot Gundam one day.
