So, I just got this glorious bastard today and am wondering... how are we going to list parts? Every single piece? Or just the sprues and the skeleton?

Good question...up to now, for model kit-type things, we pretty much did the "safe" thing and listed the completed figure as a figure, not really thinking too much about the parts that made that figure.

But now, since we've listed Kre-O parts and the like, I'm leaning towards recognizing and showing those individual parts when looking at a record...maybe something like we did with the Trans-Scanning figures?

That does make sense, but damn is the going to slow down the build process! I'm not about to remove the pieces prior to building so I can snap them all together because then they'll get all mixed up. I'll have to shoot each piece as I remove it from the sprue. Unless you have another idea?

Is this the type of kit that once you build it, it's sorta permanent or is it one that you can disassemble and then build again?

I guess you could do take a photo of each piece as you remove it...or, if it's rebuildable, you could take a couple close-up photos of the parts still on the sprues, and then use those photos as a guide to later identify the loose parts, if you don't feel like shooting them as you remove them.  Or are there like 9 gajillion parts that would make this impossible?  Or it non-rebuildable?

It is technically a snap-fit model, but from what I've heard some piece might need glue to stay in place.

Ah...damn.  Well, if we're going the show-every-part route, then I guess it'd have to be a photo as soon as you remove it...how many parts are in this kit?

Does this give you a good feel? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75552/2013-08-30%2015.53.59.jpg
