Excellent, comprehensive RD list:

>>5691235
>>5691237
I can still hardly believe (in a good way) that they're seriously giving us the command car.
>>5691240
What a beast.
>>5692836
Unit 2 and 3 as a p-bandai twin pack, or just Unit 3 as p-bandai and then unit 2 as normal.
Can't tell if they will distinguish between movie and tv versions.
>>5692557
Vifam only has one one or two releases left, realistically and L-Gaim probably has 3 or 4 left. Cross Ange is also probably already dead too considering they avoided doing new tooling for the past several releases. I'm curious what will replace those lines as well. I just hope it doesn't end up being even more UC or Seed Gundam.
Maybe bring Fafner back? That has a shit ton of stuff left considering Bandai mostly only released recolors of the Nothung Models instead of anything with new molds. FMP has a couple things they could put out next year to coincide with the new anime next year too.
I suspect Layzner is a shoe in as well as a possible Xabungle line. Gorg could only support three releases tops, Votoms has a ton of other modern Bandai stuff already, and Galient isn't terribly popular as far as I know (though if they must stick with 80s Sunrise Real Robots it or Gorg would be ideal in my opinion).
>>5692798
>7,000+ yen
>12.5 cm
Ugh..... same size as Revoltech, but more expensive.
With Phantom Labor on the horizon, hopefully they release some of the more obscure labors like TV/OVA's Peacemakers, Saturn, or reactive armor labors.
>>5692876
With command car.
But yeah, they are pretty serious about it. I hope they are gloss coated or painted.
>>5692885
it's gonna drop to 40 bucks on amazon at some point, just wait
they all do
Hey guys, I was wondering if the repaired Kshatriya was a full suit, or just an option set? Cause it says parts in the title, but as far as I can tell otherwise it's a full suit of its own.
>>5692879
The prototypes appear to be fully-painted from head to toe like the SHF Stormtroopers.
I'm happy to pay a bit extra for that, it means the white won't yellow over time.
>>5692876
to be fair, you get a lot of detail. hcm pro line still blows my mind a little to this day. also, some people don't want hueg chunks of plastic, anything over 1/144 scale has never done it for me and never will
>>5693001
It's a full, complete figure! The parts comes from the fact that it includes parts for you to convert it between the Besserung (OVA episode 6) and Repaired (episode 7) configurations.
>>5693001
>>5693189
Backing up Monitoranon here to say that the Besserung/Repaired is a full unit. Has the components to convert it between the two states.It's pretty damn nice too. Then again the base Kshatriya was amazing so it's hard to screw up a bunch of parts swapping on it, really.
>don't get wing or G
oops
I posted about this guy some time ago. Now I want it even more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PycSLjN0K_Y
Got the Hyaku Shiki today at my local import shop. It's amazing how huge the shoulders look in all the promo photos but it's unnoticeable in person. Almost makes me want to pick up the Zeta Gundam and the Mega Bazooka.
>>5693492
Nice pic.
>>5693492
I need to pick one up since it's my favorite mobile suit from Z
Wouldn't mind a Delta plus from Unicorn either
>>5693488
>Master Asia, why are you tickling my chin with your ribbon?
>>5693492
I've been thinking of possibly picking one up to go along with the Qubeley when it releases. Not sure if I will yet though; I've got too many potential purchases on my mind already...
Nevertheless, it looks fantastic every time I see pics of it, so I'm always really tempted.
I wish more people posted photos of having fun with their plastic robot friends.
>>5694254
>>5694256
>>5693228
Cheers for the assist anon, and awesome shot! I've never put mine into the Repaired config, I really ought to give it a shot sometime because that looks great.
>>5694254
I have been very slack about taking action shots with my RDs as of late. Hopefully I can correct that over the long weekend!
>>5694702
I do find myself wondering if the reprint of Kshatriya proper will have the changed stand attachment point/adapter that the Repaired/Besserung has.
Char's Zaku and Barbatos are 50% and 60% off on CDJapan.
>>5694963
I wasn't too surprised about Barbatos going on a steep discount---it was already predicted in this board.
But I'm surprised by the discount on Char's Zaku. I wonder why it's being marked down so aggressively... Maybe CDJapan has overstock? Could it be it's not selling as well as predicted?
>>5694963
>check this out
>3000 yen for EMS shipping
that doesn't seem right.
>>5695171
RX-78 was on sale too but sold out. Char's Zaku is still around some places. Both are being reissued too.
>>5695186
jump on it, even if it's a fuck up, it'll still be discounted, and it's one of my favorite figures.
>>5695408
yeah but seventy bucks for two guys i only kinda want-ish is a bit much for me
>>5695305
RX-78 is still up on AmiAmi fwiw
>>5695412
Yeah, I feel ya. I have the SHCM Pro of Char's Zaku and while I have no doubt the RD has more articulation, I am just happy with it and I prefer the more 'real' approach they took on it as opposed to the anime accurate approach of the new RD.
>>5694702
You had better haha
I always enjoy your photos, acer anon
Got the payment request for Hi-Metal Glaug.
Toot.
>>5694702
Sell me a geara zulu anon, I keep trying to find one on mandarake and the one time I saw one up I fell asleep a few minutes before it was posted and someone bought it.
>>5694963
Thanks for the heads-up. I cancelled my Civil War Cap preorder earlier after seeing the early 2chan pics, and picked Char's Zaku up instead.
I'm the guy from the last thread who just picked the ANIME RX-78-2. I promise I'll take some nice pictures of them together when Char arrives.
>>5696018
What's wrong with the new Cap fig?
>>5696035
I just didn't like the look of it. The 3D-printed faces are fine, but the body bugged the fuck out of me in the in-hand pictures. Looks more like segmented armour than a cloth outfit and the legs are really weirdly skinny vs the film design, they look like skin-tight leggings.
I think I might just take the plunge on a Hot Toys EvansCap, the new Civil War version looks pretty definitive.
>>5695186
EMS just went up in price recently IIRC. All orders cost about 500-600 yen more now. Makes DHL or SAL more attractive options.
>>5696266
Sorry, it goes up on June 1st. CDJapan might just be calculating the extra cost already.
>>5696266
It starts june 1st and the amounts havent been announced yet.
zaku zaku
Seig john!
>>5696357
Get em open and post pics
They seem taller than Char Custom to me...
Maybe he's just a Mobile Suitlet.
>>5696266
I don't think CDJapan offers DHL.
Silly Zaku, you know Char doesn't roll that way.
>>5696392
That was pretty zakute
>>5696398
Many zaku-thanks.
This one...slightly less cute, I feel.
Anyone have the Codarl weapon set? I was going to finally order a Venom and I was wondering if it was worth picking up too. The weapons look cool, but 3000 yen seems pretty steep for what you get. Maybe I'll just pick the set up if I decide to get a few mass produced Codarls later. I think the spear or ax could look great with Laevatein though.
Christ, good thing I didn't order this. It's Shin Getter all over again.
>>5696947
Looks fine to me
>>5697079
The eyes are way too big.
The Blue Astray has finally arrived. I can not help but love this line of small Edge Gundam. Although small, they are so funny
Has anyone gotten any notices from NY about orders yet? I haven't heard from them on my Vierres and Rick Dias rders yet.
>>5696947
>>5697091
I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything, and now it's going to bug me forever once mine arrives...
>>5696357
very nice, grats. I hope to get one soon, still having fun with the old one.
>>5697817
the old one is badass
So sad that as a Dunbine completionist, I did not pre-order the Vierres at NY, as I tried to do it one day before the Bandai deadline and it was sold out.
Now I have to get it for 12k yen at Mandy or somewhere.
>>5696947
Thank god GR's head is on the smaller side.
I'm loving this Zaku II. The amount of accessories it comes with is rediculous.
>>5697935
How do you get the leg missiles on?
>>5697959
How did I get it on the rocket launcher or how did I attach it to the leg? Answer to the first question is there's a peg in there for it, answer to the second question is it took for god damn ever and was annoying as fuck. I eventually had to hold the back part with my finger while connecting it one peg at a time with my other hand.
>>5697986
It was so annoying that I just gave up on doing the other leg. I'll get it later.

>>5697896
Completion-ism is the way to madness. Just buy the specific stuff you really love. Makes your collection more eclectic and unique. Saves your wallet and takes up less space. Makes you happier.
If you always really loved the Vierres, by all means, grab that fucker. But if the only reason to get it is cause they made it, maybe you are better off pretending it doesn't exist.
Would anyone who has the new zaku be willing to swap an activated heat hawk with me? Mine came with a scratch in the paint and it drives my autism.
[email protected]
>>5698249
Can't you order a replacement from Bandai?
>>5698255
A spare heat hawk? Or the entire zaku? If the former I've never known you can get individual parts.
>>5698268
The hawk, obviously.
>>5698284
Do you just contact them or what?
>>5698292
I don't know, I've never done it before.
>>5698297
Harumph
>>5698234
I like the entire Dunbine line. Skipping the hyper Leprechaun though,
I am a semi-completionist. If a mould is good, then I would get all colour variations of that mould unless the colour is ugly. Like how I got all the VF-25s but only two of the YF-29s.
>>5698234
Not him, but it's hard for me to not want to buy more Dunbine RD's. The few figures I've gotten from it are fantastic, and they're some of the most unique mech designs out there.
As much as I want more Dunbine RDs for my collection, I think I'm gonna stop where I'm at with Dunbine, Todd's Drumlo, and Virunvee. But it's so tempting to pick up anything from the Leprechaun to a Fou, just because I love the designs so much.
![(W_B)_Dunbine_14_(x264)(3869E5E0).mkv_snapshot_17.03_[2014.05.13_20.35.44].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/6TPoTqh.jpg "(W_B)_Dunbine_14_(x264)(3869E5E0).mkv_snapshot_17.03_[2014.05.13_20.35.44].jpg")
>>5698482
If you love the Leprechaun, you might want to go ahead and get it. It's one of the best Aura Battlers they've made. Sweet hand-candy.
>>5698482
>and they're some of the most unique mech designs out there.
This is really only true in terms of a comparison to other 80s mechs. The RD line alone has released a bunch of mechs far more out of the box than any of the Aura Battlers. Just look at the Fafners, the Anti-Zegas, Tauburn, or Dann for examples. Not to say that I'm shitting on the Aura Battlers, they have a lot of good designs and generally the esthetic was very innovative for their time. I just think "some of the most unique ever" is an overstatement.
I do think Drumlo and Zwarth stand out as some of the more interesting Dunbine designs and are still very unique in their style to this day. The incorporation of their backpacks as the carapace in their beetle motif isn't something that I can think of as being repeated. The heroic units tend to be far more in line with the general proportions of other 80s robots. I'd love to know how well Dunbine merchandise sold in comparison to the other Sunrise robot shows of the 80s.
>But it's so tempting to pick up anything from the Leprechaun to a Fou
I usually see the Leprechaun going pretty cheap. You could probably pick one up for under $35 if you shopped around and waited for a good opportunity.

>>5698443
I'm the anon that had the broken Shenlong part a few months ago. Don't bother contacting them, they don't deal with non-Japanese residents. You'll need to go through a proxy, pay for the part, pay to have it shipped to the proxy from Bandai, then pay the proxy their fee and the cost to ship it to you. Using SAL you'll still be paying 2000JPY+.
Just wait for Bluefin to bring it over, buy another Zaku from them (everyone needs plural Zakus), and claim the flawed piece came with that one. Their customer service isn't the 8th level of hell like Bandai JP's, they'll help.
>>5698637
Thanks for the advice anon, are you talking about snagging it off amazon?
>>5698759
Yeah, when Bluefin distributes it. Not sure if they've even announced it yet, though. I don't really keep track. One thing to note is that Bluefin's CS requires you to input the code on the stickers that they themselves put on the boxes, so you can't just buy the JP version and expect them to help. It sucks, but what can you do? I guess that you could always ask an anon here for their code, they're all the same for each individual item I think.
>>5698847
But that's not a picture of your face.
>>5697997
Oh wow, you serious? So the missile fits on the bazookas as well. Does it fit on the Gundam bazooka?
So I wasted money buying an extra char for the accessories then.
>>5698847
With a robust and well thought out critique like that, I bet people are just lining up around the block to hear what you have to say about things.
>at the RC shop last weekend

>>5698847
I honestly have trouble believing my figures look good until I post them on 4chan and have some faggot say they look like shit. Thanks for the confidence boost.
>>5699203
Not one of the better RDs, just for the fact of being released fairly early in the line. I'd love to see a version 2 in the new larger size, made with the same quality as the Anime Dom.
>this ugly mother fucker
Tilt the box. It's actually the super sexy Turn A Gundam. You probably just had a bad lighting angle in the shop and saw a reflection of your face on the plastic window.
>>5698987
Hey man I will buy your extra char's activated heat hawk, hit me up.
[email protected]
>>5699030
It seems someone escaped her containment thread...
Look, everyone understands that the retro look is not for everyone. Personally, I prefer the modern iterations of MSG suits over the anime accurate ones. But that doesn't mean that the ANIME RDs look like 'shit.' They look like they are supposed to be, anime accurate. So what you really are trying to say is that you don't like the look--just fuckin say that if you are so inclined in voicing your hot opinion. Shitposting is a waste of time.
>>5698987
I'm not sure about it fitting on the gundam bazooka. I have one coming in the mail so I'll let you know after it get's here.
Also the unlaunched rocket fits in the bazooka as well.
>>5699203
>he probably though 00 was good
Why is drumlo SO GOOD!?

>>5699030

>>5699779
Was it not? I really like some of the suit designs, was thinking about watching it. That Seravee 3G Damashii set with the 2 drone units is pants on head awesome.
>>5699833
Sorry, no photos just now. But indeed, Drumlo is Love. Drumlo is All.
>>5699919

>>5699203
>Based Syd Mead design
>Ugly
>>5699919
>Was it not?
No. Even if you ignore the horrendously weak and ludicrous second season, it's a pretty banal show with no stand out iconic designs to speak of.
>>5700099
what
the second season was actually decent, even with the executive meddling it was still one of the better gundam shows out there
it's exciting and fresh with radically new, iconic designs that breathed new life into the franchise
>current year
>still ironically liking Turn A
>>5700114
>ironically
Some people actually have good taste, pal.
>>5700146
and those are the same people that don't like Turn A as a gundam
wonder if there's a correlation there
>>5700152
Look, if you have shit taste, that's fine. It's not illegal to be an idiot. But don't go and project your own idiocy on others. That just makes you an ass. And considering you already have shit taste, you only have so much farther you can fall. Ya dig?
>>5699833
And here is Margaret vs Drumlo
>>5700106
Iconic designs? It's like a footnote entry of the SEED generation, the only thing those main mecha designs are going to do is plummet over time in the fan rankings. At least Freedom encapsulated that generation of designs, 00 MS will be as disregarded and forgotten as Victory MS.
>>5700146
I'm not your pal, buddy

>Drumlo plays well with others.

All my keks.
Too bad I've never watched Seed.
>>5701260
Looks pretty good at that price.
Is there anything egregiously wrong with it?
>>5701260
I would pick it up, but I'm not a fan of the design
>>5693522
>Wouldn't mind a Delta plus from Unicorn either
THIS
I want a RD DP sooooooooooo bad
>>5701540
Buy the HG.
>>5701260
Damn. I bought it some time ago for like 35 bucks off Amazon prime.
>>5701268
Nothing really. I don't have the Aile Strike so I can't confirm if it uses the same body (not that it would necessarily be a bad thing), but I'm inclined to say that it doesn't because it is in scale with modern RDs.
The biggest issue for me was the face. It looks a bit elongated from a profile view but once I had it in hand I was pleased that it was not a problem. It is a bit back heavy because of the Noir pack but the wings have crazy articulation so you have many options in balancing it and getting a cool pose. For some reason the trigger hands work better for holding the anti-ship swords than the regular grasping hands---I actually like this a lot because I hate having to swap parts in a toy. I would post pics but the Noir packed because I am moving.
At such a deep discount I would recommend it. I guess if you don't like the design that's still a no go. But if you are even the slightest bit inclined and have the $ then go for it.
So as it turns out the horns on Barbatos are kind of fragile and easily snap if, say, it falls off your desk. Oh well. At least they're heavily discounted on CDJapan. Expensive mistake, but it could have been worse.
http://tamashii.jp/item/11415/
Patlabor coming. Unit 1 in October, seems to include command car, revolver, and stun baton for accessories. Mentions the arms extending via parts replacement and face replacement part, so that'd presumably be the armored visor.
I just discovered these exist.
For the love of god talk me out of buying them.
>>5703182
When did these come out? Are they robot damashii? Just buy them they look fun as shit
>>5703639
Robot Damashii from FMP.
>>5703182
>For the love of god talk me out of buying them.
I... I can't. You should buy them.
>>5703182
How are these or doraemon considered mecha? I never understood why these are robot spirits.
>>5703687
Doraemon is a robot sent from the future to help his creator's past self. The Bontas (the ones in the pic) are basically miniature Arm Slaves.

Because robots.
I don't get your uncertainty.

Oh that's a great point, now you've got me curious as well.
>>5695658
>>5697118
Haha, I tried! Took a whole bunch but only ended up saving a couple. Those NXEDGEs are looking good!
>>5695986

>>5697986
Hah, love the shots guys. Should be getting my grunt Zaku and Dom this week!
>>5700289
>>5700424
Oh man that's adorable, more mecha with Margaret, please!
>>5700733
Huh, now I realize I want an RD Apsalus (Apsalus II, that is).
>>5701260
Dangit, and I just paid my AmiAmi order on Saturday (shipped this morning). I totally would have added one.
>>5703156
Man, I still remember wondering what sort of hoops we'd have to jump through to get the command car back when Bandai first revealed the labors. Sooo happy we're getting it right off the bat.
>>5696778
Don't have it myself, but if you get one, I'll buy the sword off you for 15 bucks, haha.
>>5703182
Fumo fumoffu!
Fitted the missile-butt to my Xi. Hadn't been too big a fan of the thing when it was first shown, but in-hand it works incredibly well. Really fills out the design in a cool way, adding some considerable junk to its trunk.
>>5702309
Ouch, sorry to hear that anon. I've had antenna get bent due to dorp before, but was luckily always able to bend them back into shape with no ill effects. Bandai used to be really good about including spare antenna/v-fins at the beginning of the line, but now that's more the exception than the rule.
That being said, two of my recent RDs have included spares (Char's Zaku and the Xi; ANIME RX-78 kinda includes one too if you count the vulcan muzzle efffect).
Pew!
>>5703639
RDs number 53 and 69 respectively (grey one was a web exclusive)! Released back in 2010.
Messed up shot that came out kinda cool.
>>5704026
Let me know how the Dom is when you get it in. I've been on the fence with that one since it came out.
>>5704057
It's annoying, but the way the damage came out was easily cleaned up to look like how it did for a few episodes when part of the horn got torn off. Plus if they do release that options set of the extra configuration parts I'd want extras anyways. So a somewhat expensive lesson to learn, at ~$30, but not the worst of things.
Unit 2 will be exclusive.

Unit 1 will include information about a promotion for Unit 2. Unit 2 will have a version with special parts for both Units.
>>5704154
Not the whole figure. Just the alternate Unit 2 swap parts for the main Alphonse figure.
>>5704268
>「ROBOT魂 <SIDE LABOR> イングラム2号機」は、魂ウェブ商店にて受注販売予定です。
It's a separate figure.
>>5704047
I'm drawing a blank here, what are the 2 white MS?
>>5704290
White Dingo GM Sniper II's.
>>5704297
Thanks, Anon
>>5704215
>>5704234
My understanding is that if you use the code that comes with Ingram 1 and preorder Unit 2 on the web shop you'll get the Unit 2 command car and the "special parts" for Unit 1 and 2 included with your Unit 2 order.
Would the special parts be to convert to the movie versions? The differences are all in the head and shoulders right?
>>5704313
Well this certainly sounds like a pain in the ass.
What are those of us who aren't nips gonna do if we want those things?
>>5704317
>What are those of us who aren't nips gonna do if we want those things?
Probably pay a large mark up on a second hand Unit 2 from mandarake that includes the extras.
>>5700106
lol what weak bait. Apply yourself. It's lazy to just say the exact opposite of what's true.
>>5701260
Looks like they've increased the price a little. Still not enough to make me pick it up (not that I dislike the design, but I'm trying to cut back to only suits I really want).
>>5700311
Not him, but I personally love the Victory and 00 designs and wish Bandai would make more RDs with modern engineering.
>>5704297
Holy shit they made these? The Dreamcast game is one of my all time favorite games.
>>5704671
No, they're actual RD releases that you can buy.
>>5704676
By "they" I meant Robot Damashii.
>>5704708
Mandarake has a few in stock right now I beleive, it's a shame I literally just sold my spare 2 weeks ago.
>>5704701
And by Robot Damashii you mean Bandai?
>>5704789
I'm well aware of the name of the company, referring to it by the name of the line doesn't change the meaning of what I said one bit. Try not to be such a pedantic prick, people will like you better.
>>5704759
Thanks for the heads up, anon
>>5704759
The only one I could find is this one for $77:

I love Rise From the Ashes but I don't $90 shipped love it. Thanks for helping me out anyway
Just got my ANIME Char's Zaku in from CDJapan. Might be shopping there more often.
Not quite as 'mind blown sideways out of ass' impressive as the RX-78-2 but still an amazing figure with tons of thoughtful accessories. Might take some pictures later.
>>5704867
>referring to it by the name of the line
...is incorrect and makes you look like an idiot? Try not acting like a retard, maybe people will take what you say seriously.
>>5704980
I know you're buttblasted but try not to be such a pedantic cocksucker, it's why you have no friends.
>>5704980
Except the entire purpose of that comment was to let him know that I wasn't referring to a custom, not to name the company that created the line. Are you always this pompous when you're wrong.
>>5704313
For fucks sake.
Have they ever done something like this before? Do we know if Bluefin would release those parts normally?
>>5705116
Who cares? If he's really being that petty then why are you even responding to him? Stop shitting up the thread.
In other news, I took another pic of the Zaku II, I've got the RX-79 coming in tomorrow so I should have some non-boring ass "standing around" pics soon.
As an aside: there's a single sprue nub on the right "shoulder pad" of the figure (or whatever that is). What's the best way to get rid of it? Wirecutters?
>>5705128
Bluefin doesn't even release exclusives for the RD line, at least currently. Only SHF and Monsterarts get webshop releases in the United States.
I hear Tamashii Nations has significant say in what they bring over which is why the RD line always ends up on clearance on places like Amazon. They just push Bluefin to bring over the latest standard releases, even if they're things like Vifam or Wataru that have never even been licensed in the US. Predictably they end up bombing and Tamashii Nations/RD management decides it must be because of a lack of interest in the entire line, justifying their decision to not bother putting out stuff like webshop releases overseas. A classic vicious cycle.
Also, I got my Crossbow in today. He's pretty cool. Hopefully I can get my lightbox set up and do some photos I've been interested in later tonight or tomorrow.
>>5705510
omg that turtle thing on the left is fucking beautiful
>>5705600
That would be the Crossbow Savage. Savages in general are adorable as all shit and shockingly expressive/endearing for an egg shaped robot.
>>5704671
My man! I still hook up the DC now and then just to play it (and Virtual On). Had to grab myself some Dingoes when I learned about 'em.
>>5704892
>I love Rise From the Ashes but I don't $90 shipped love it.
Dang anon, you used to be cool... haha, nah I totally get where you're coming from. One thing that helps defray the cost though, is that most Mandarake listings give you TWO Dingoes.
This is because when the Dingo Sniper was originally released, Bandai actually forgot a paint app. To correct this, Bandai shipped out free replacement GM bodies with the corrected paint app to people who had ordered. That's why in the listing you linked there's a Dingo inside a baggie, that's the replacement GM!
The missing paint app is barely noticeable (can you spot it here?), and even when you do see it it still totally works as a paint variation within the squad. I 'only' paid $70 shipped for mine, so it was easy to justify that as paying 35 bucks for each Dingo. They're really excellent figures, and the White Dingo deco looks superb! Definitely recommended if you've got cash to burn.
>>5704945
>Might take some pictures later.
Dooooo it.
>>5705130
Looking forward to your pics! For removing nubs, the absolute best way (in my opinion) is to use a very sharp hobby knife to shave them off, and then a fine file to smooth out the spot if needed. Tools that clip or cut the nub off tend to pinch the plastic together, which results in a not so clean looking mark after you remove the nub.
For a small nub/area though, it might not be too noticeable if you just cut the nub off. Just be sure that the tool you use is sharp.
>>5705510
Oooh, grats on the safe arrival of the Savage, anon!
>>5705640
>tfw no dreamcast
>tfw have to resort to Xbox to get my SA 1 and 2 fix
Also, anybody else get Giant Robo? He's pretty good even for the price, but I wish he could stand up more easily. I really like how big he is compared to other SRCs
>>5705672
I should be getting GR, and a few Zaku IIs, by the end of the week.
I'll be sure to post some pics.
>>5705669
There's two of them? Really? That changes things.
Pre-order for Robot Spirits -SIDE LABOR- Ingram 1 starts today at 1600 JST: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-019529
5,820 JPY after 25% discount. Ugh... I think I'm going to skip this one out. After years of Patlabor model kits, I'm sick of Ingram Unit 1 already. Until they come out with Phantom, Peacemaker, Saturn, or other more obscure labors yet to be made in figure form, for now, I'll just stand on the sideline.
>>5705958
Peacemaker does have a figure actually. From the CM's Corporation Mecha Action Series. it's probably shit though, based on other Mecha Action Series releases.
The line also did some Vifam and Gaogaigar stuff. I wish I could find a list of everything in the line. I'm curious now. Same goes for Gigabrain's Real Action Robot line.
>>5706185
>Peacemaker does have a figure actually. From the CM's Corporation Mecha Action Series. it's probably shit though
It IS shit. Probably the shittiest patlabor figure from that line. It's not even decent. We need a proper figure.
http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2008/av0_peacemaker
>>5706221
I'm getting flashbacks to my CM's Brocken. God, the joints... the horror... the horror...
>>5705958
As much as I want an Ingram, Bandai can fuck right off with that price. Gonna sit this one out unless it drops after release.
>>5706233
It's all of $55 on HLJ.com, which isn't that bad all things considered.
http://hlj.com/product/BANN07953
It's a 4000Y release, tops. Mandarake will get my money on this one.
>>5706235
Must be nice in America. My country's exchange rate blows right now unfortunately...
>>5706242
Not really Bandai's fault if your country's exchange rate for yen is ass.
Got my Zaku today, it's real nice. Probably like it better than Char's. Would totally troopbuild up to 3 of it if the price was lower.
>>5707161
There's one in the BST right now, it I had the cash I would buy it.
>>5705958
I'll wait til it shelfwarms.
Anyone have a chars zaku they want to sell?
>>5707827
It's up at all the regular places.
I just yolo'd pretty hard. I swear im not buying any more fun things for the month of June.
>>5707349
Orders are still open on amiami, so it'll probably end up on clearance eventually. Most Tamashii Nations stuff there either sell out in minutes or end up price cut for lack of demand. Seriously, almost every RD for the past half year has ended up getting major price cuts. The OYW stuff is some of the only things that haven't and those were cheaper anyway. I think we've about hit the point were price inflation is becoming a major problem for the line.
>>5708134
oh man, you are going to hate yourself when that turd comes in
>>5707349
Yeah, let's show them we don't want those figures so they'll cancel the subline.
>>5708789
What's so wrong with it?
>>5708789
I watched the reviews of the gold Master and God RDs and they both look incredible. And I just love shiny exclusive shit. Anyways, what makes it a turd? do you have it?
but, we will see. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it is when it arrives.
>>5709381
It's not out yet
I'm super hyped for Qubeley this month. Just two weeks away from its release, and I can barely contain my excitement. It has been one of the MS I've wanted an RD of for a long time.
I've actually made sure that its separate from the rest of my monthly order so that I won't have to wait for the end of the month for it to ship.
>>5709381
Everything is better than Revoltechs.
>>5705669
>Dooooo it
Very well. If no-one objects I'll dump a few pics of my first two RDs.
>>5710477
From my limited knowledge of other Gundam products, I know the original RX-78-2 and the HCM Pro versions came with even more than this, but coming into this line off the back of SHF Star Wars, where you're lucky to get more than four hands and a gun or lightsaber with each figure, damn. That's a great assortment of accessories.
I love how they're all useful too, especially the beam effect parts.
>>5710483
I can't get over how good the articulation engineering in this figure is. It runs rings around far more expensive things.
>>5710490
Manages to look pretty natural from most angles too. No gaping holes like some SHF figures.
>>5710494
>>5710496
While I like the Zeon designs more than the Feddie scum, in all honesty the Char's Zaku isn't as well-made as the Gundam. It's got a few rough edges here and there, and has a more soapy texture as opposed to the lovely satin finish on the RX-78-2. It doesn't handle ground poses as well either.
That said, it's still a ton of fun. Will probably pick up a couple of regular Zakus to go with it.
>>5710505
Again, great accessories.
>>5710507
Sadly unless I'm missing something that rocket launch effect is too heavy for the figure to hold up. I tried it in this pose and the shoulders and wrists just sagged down.
These ANIME releases are getting tempting as hell, despite already owning MG's of all the releases, and the MSV's are making it worse.
>>5710510
Two great toys, but the Feddies win this round. Char's solid, but the Gundam is exceptional. I preordered everything else that's coming up except the exclusives after getting these.
I feel a bit guilty going all-in on the ANIME stuff despite never having finished 0079, I should probably go back and watch it to the end really...
ANIME Guntank WHEN
>>5710517
Just watch the movie trilogy if you want the basic jist of the story. It's done quite well so you're not missing anything important plotwise. And the updated animation is a plus.
>>5710915
Just stay away from the dub (of the movies) unless you're looking for some unintentional comedy.
Hey guys, I just got a Drumlo and I'm wondering; is the does the Drumlo's cockpit click into place or something? There's nothing to keep it in place.
>>5710954
Not really. Because of the waist articulation it has the ability to sorta float around. It's up to the user to position it best for a given pose.
Or do you mean you have a loose cockpit door? Mine will close up nicely and stay closed.
>>5711076
>Not really. Because of the waist articulation it has the ability to sorta float around. It's up to the user to position it best for a given pose.
Thanks, just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong.
>>5710517
>char zaku and zaku coming in soon
does the rocket accessory fit in gundam bazooka??
i should get Dom for my birthday, ive never owned a dom in my life
>>5710665
Reckon robot damashii could make a good tread system? Id love an RD guntank
>>5711092
>does the rocket accessory fit in gundam bazooka??
Unfortunately no. However there is a port in the barrel, so maybe some future release will come with a compatible effect.
>>5711092
It fits in figma Samus' bazooka.
>>5710517
>not getting G-3 Gundam
>not getting Sha's Rick dom
anon....I
I hope blue Z'gok will be a general release.
>>5711393
I'm probably going to get the G3 Gundam just because I fucking love the muted colours.
Not overly bothered by Char's Rick Dom or Z'Gok though. I'd rather have the regular colour versions.
>>5711092
>i should get Dom for my birthday
Yes. Yes you should.
>>5711099
The normal zaku's missile effect part does though
https://youtu.be/UGeV0Sxqy1Y
More Dodai and Desert Type Zaku at the end.
Robot day is my favorite day!
Got the Grunt Zaku and the Glaug in today. I like Char's Zaku just a little more than the grunt, but the grunt comes with some fantastic accessories. The little handle for the door to Side 7 is neat and esoteric inclusion.
I'm a big Battletech fan, so I couldn't pass up getting what the Unseen Marauder was based off of. The figure's fantastic and towers over most RD's and my Hi-Metal VF1. Really well engineered figure, and the sculpt and paint are top notch.
>>5711899
Hard to go wrong with the Glaug. I got it in along with my Figuarts Mace Windu and Captain America (CW ver) and loved the hell out of it.
It's big and hefty and has some very nice joints on it. Can't really think of anything wrong with it, let alone worth hating on it. Despite how sturdy the leg joints are on it I'm using the stand just for the sake of safety, since mine is sitting up on my desk with a bunch of other goodies.
So who has her? Mainly interested in knowing how QC is and if you can actually play with her, or everything just pops off. I am pleased with my one AGP and wouldnt mind getting into the line a bit more.
>>5711899
Nice additions anon, have fun
>>5711711
Is that fat guy in the fedora the protagonist from Kamen Rider W?
Jesus Christ lay off the teppanyaki.
>>5711711
>That Rick Dom and G-3 packaging art
God dammit, Bandai. Let my wallet go. Dodai looks good, and I'm surprised at just how much I want the desert colours stuff.
Really liking the RX-78-20. I see why people prefer it over the Zaku now.
>>5712198
The accessories kick ass.
