Peaugh & GenZhao have teamed up give us a video review on the possibly cancelled Henkei Black Convoy! This figure was highly anticipated, and sadly we haven’t heard much about plans for it’s sale at future shows. With colors highly reminiscent of Nucleon Quest Convoy, as well as Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime/Scourge, this is one Convoy repaint that we hope to see go on sale in the future.
