Excellent, comprehensive RD list:

>90% of upcoming releases are from Gundam
christ
>>5590169
I want more IBO stuff dammit. I mean It got a second season. There's no reason not to start dishing out a bunch of toys for it.
>>5590169
Gundam is the Star Wars of Japan
>>5590169
>I can't believe this 40 year old, beloved classic with global name recognition that keeps Bandai afloat is getting merchandise
Come on man
I checked Nippon-Yasan but could not find the L-Gaim Nouvel D-seerd. Did I miss the PO?
>>5590414
It hasn't even been announced for release yet.
>>5590169
>Dunbine, Vifam, Ange and L-gaim still actively being released at a steady pace.
>Bitch anyways
>>5590155
>Preorders have been open for a couple weeks now, here's the product page:
>http://tamashii.jp/item/11320/
Yeah but, wasn't there a KA signature release of just the gundam mark 2 without the armor?
BBTS have metal build exia for preorder for those that missed it
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN14790&mode=retail
Man, Guncannon looks so good. I hope Guntank is up next.
>>5590213
>>5590219
>>5590498
I understand it's Bandai cashcow but I love the RD line because other series that would almost never get merchandise get a chance for some figures. It's just really disheartening to see Gundam getting more merchandise when it already has a ton. Especially when it's shit like the Gundam or Zakus that already have dozens of plamo and figures.
>>5591214
Yes, because we should get the horrifically outdated RDs so some obscure thing can get some merch that'll shelfwarm at Master Asia levels
>>5591214
>. Especially when it's shit like the Gundam or Zakus that already have dozens of plamo and figures.
You are aware you are wanting a company that exists to make money to risk said money on making something that they could make little or no return on right?
Lots of shit I would love to get figures of but since those franchises don't have the fanbase size of something like Gundam, It's not gonna happen.

I mean, there's markup but Jesus. At least I found a remaster Buster Gundam.
>>5591305
how much is it in online stores + shipping?
>>5591330
on Amazon with an SD GP02 for free shipping it's I think 55 or 58 dollars.
>>5591369
It's like 35 bucks at most on Mandarake
>>5590749
no that was a normal release with a very stylized sculpt
>>5591214
>make this slightly fatter
>give it drab olive tones
>call it Zaku Type GM
Boom. Instant seller.
Char came in today. He's very great and I love him. These figures are complete marvels of engineering, and continue to impress me so.
>>5591218
>G Gundam stuff shelf warmed
>Only Gundam series you give a shit about will never get any merchandise ever again
Once again, the japs slay me with their shit taste
>>5592920

All these will be lost in japanese shit taste, like destiny and AGE. Time to die
>>5592920
The trick here is to like multiple Gundam shows
>>5592979
Pretty decent articulation overall, but the kneecaps are designed pretty poorly. The extra head for it that comes with Asia is hilarious.
>>5592984
Fucking saved
>>5592920
I thought G Gundam was popular in Japan. Is that not the case?
In the US it seems it was fairly popular with the DBZ generation.
>>5592920
We always get G, Shining, Master, and one other picked out of a hat. It always stops there.
>>5591393
I know about that one, but I coulda sworn the solicits were just of the gundam mkii version kai with no booster, wasn't that a thing at all?
Plastic monitor anon help me out here.
>>5592916
A beaut ain't she? I just wish the colors were cloer to the animation, red chest witha deep salmon pink instead of the burgundy. Still sexy and I can't wait for the Shin Matsunaga zaku, crimson lightning and hopefully the bluedestiny prototype.
>>5591214
man that looks sweet.
>>5593523
except we didn't even get the Gundam Spiegel or the Rising that were in the works because the UC purists murdered everyone involved in their production.
>>5593523
well, there was a gundam Spiegel, and Rain's gundam. I dunno why we can't just get em as exclusives, they could probably sell a few of those like that. At least enough to warrant a release.
I don't think they ever made the main gundams in hg scale so I think there's a market since all we got in that size are the shitty old nograde kits.
>>5593563
I saw the Rising Gundam,did they ever show photos of the Speigel or just talk about it? And how long ago was the Rising shown, there still might be a chance it'll get released
>>5593597
>>5593575
>Robot Tamashii engineering, don't you agree?
no
>>5593552
You can take off the FA Parts and have a regular mk-II if you want. Is that what you're talking about?
>>5593563
>In the works.
Oh sure, just like Vigna Ghina, Gun-EZ, Airmaster Burst, and so many others.
They make a lot of one-off RDs to make more impressive showcases. There is absolutely no guarantee there will actually be a release until you see a date.
>>5593646
Well yeah, but I don't want to pay 120$ for just the mkII, also hoping for a titans color version of it.
Would love it if they gave it the weaponized loadout inbstead of the armor though.
>>5593604
Damn. Hope they do eventually decide to release those, even as webshop exclusives.
Where can I order Sirbine?
>>5593761
Buy a cordal VENOM instead.
>>5593761
NY - 6,580Â¥
>>5593575
Do you have any RD's?
>>5593761
Just get it when it's released.
>>5594065
Gundam was never my scene and I don't like Dunbine.
>>5594169
but what about eureka 7
full metal panic
code geass
Hell, you don't have to like the source material to like the figures.
>>5593575
no
This toy line was made for anime
>>5594169
KING
GAINER!
KING
GAINER!
KING
GAINER!
Nice Queen reference.
>>5594189
OK, which one of you motherfuckers bought the xmillion miyazawa gold from mandarake?
fucking cunt.
fuck you.
i hope you die.
>>5590169
Gundam sadly is the only thing japanese mecha "fans"care about nowadays
>>5595217
Both of these people are complete morons. Not only do tons of different Mecha shows get merchandise, but even this specific line is packed with non-gundam mecha franchise releases. You people come off as so ridiculously whiny when we're getting something as cool as the Sirbine. Or hell, the Hi-Metal R line is essentially Macross Robot Damashii, just reinforced with metal so they don't snap like a toothpick when they transform. That line is even getting bullshit huge Destroids like the Monster and enemy units to boot. There is every likelihood that they may come through with those Patlabor figures as well. Its just so ridiculous to be complaining that its all Gundam when there are active releases every month that aren't.
>>5595426
>Or hell, the Hi-Metal R line is essentially Macross Robot Damashii, just reinforced with metal so they don't snap like a toothpick when they transform. That line is even getting bullshit huge Destroids like the Monster and enemy units to boot. There is every likelihood
oh man, tell me we're getting maria's vf-1j, it's the only one i want.
>>5595463
>Maria's
Fucking triggered
>>5595463
Soon.
>>5595426
>Wall of text
Simmer down, Bandai rep. I know real robot Sunrise stuff is the only shit that sells but I don't have to like it.
>There is every likelihood that they may come through with those Patlabor figures as well
Good one.
This is at my local comic shop for $70 in Japanese packaging and I get 20% off, should I grab it?
>>5595526
It's not Revoltech sorry but I can't find the Spirits version.
>>5595488
Nice Robot Damashii-ish size. They managed to make a nearly perfect transformation VF-1 in a small scale and without it feeling janky and wibble wobbly. Its some of the most amazing engineering and design I've ever seen on a figure honestly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm84jOO20rA
If you wanted to see a bit more.
>>5593121
It wasn't popular in Japan. Why do you think it doesn't get much merchandise? It wasn't popular in America either. It was one of the reasons Gundam toys stopped being imported.
>>5595526
>>5595528
First of all, there is no Robot Damashii version of that Eva sadly
Second this thread is normally slow even for a slow board like /toy/
Third it's fucking 43 dollars on Amazon for fuck sake
Normally I'd say no don't buy it for 70, but you personally should. You're too lazy to look up ANYTHING on the figure but you'll pester the shit out of the thread so they'll take care of your off topic need. I know Robot Damashii general is the comfiest general, but shit make an effort
>>5595577
The biggest source of drama in this general is the debate of how much Gundam is appropriate in the line. If only all the threads were lucky
>>5595485
Not him, but no one is telling to like real robots. That poster just pointed out the fact that the RD line is not only about Gundam--sure Gundam gets the most releases but other series have gotten quite a bit of attention (L-Gaim, Dunbine, Fafner, FMP, etc.). And for Macross we have the Hi-Metal R line.
Chill out, brochacho.
>>5595563
That's what I suspected.
It was never my cup of tea but I know there is vocal minority of G Gundam fans in the US.
So uhh, apparently Kshatriya is getting a bootleg
http://imgur.com/a/AEktl
>>5595590
That debate is spurred on by one guy, though.
>>5596218
Honestly, when Tamashii makes it so difficult to obtain certain items in the US or refuses to do reissues on items that sold out almost immediately, I'm honestly happy that bootlegs can occasionally be a side option. Buyer beware of course.
I mean, is there really any reason why US Customers can't pre-order webshop exclusives and have them shipped here to the US just like we can do with Goodsmile? There isn't. Its literally all because "muh nippon".
>>5595563
You might be right about G Gundam not being popular (it sure seemed like it was at the time), but the shitty way they handled the toys for Gundam at the time is not necessarily proof of the lack of popularity of G Gundam. The shelves were crammed full of Windmills and Mermaids, even fans of G Gundam don't want Windmill or Mermaid. Except me. I fucking love the Nether Gundam, I have one sitting on my desk. Regardless, back then there was an over-supply of shitty designs no one wanted.
>>5596283
>I mean, is there really any reason why US Customers can't pre-order webshop exclusives and have them shipped here to the US just like we can do with Goodsmile? There isn't. Its literally all because "muh nippon".
this, I would've saved so much money and heartache by ordering direct instead of using proxy sites like nippon yassan.
>>5596218
>they still include the Rezel beam saber
This bootleg is okay with me.
>>5596300
gundam sold really well tilll the shelfwarmer waves, literally thousands of windmills, jesters, bulls, and mermaids.
G gundam was also not curently airing at the time, it was some shit show like seed, while regular gundam got bad ratings and was being censored to hell. By the time they rerleasesd the good suits and the battledamaged line, it was too late.
I wish gundam had a renaissance in the states, wouldn't be hard to do. Closest thing to g that's around now is the gundam build fighters episodes.
>>5596218
>http://imgur.com/a/AEktl
Wow, any other bootlegs?
Once the Kshatriya is mass produced...
>>5596655
the federation won't stand a chance
>>5596626
If Build Fighters got a dub and a good slot on TV, I have no doubt that we'd see a lot of kids clamoring for gunpla.
Build Fighters is the perfect series to bring over to get kids into Gundam.
>>5596655
Tell me they're making a KO Stark Jegan to go with it? That thing is crazy expensive.
>>5597037
exactly, it's basically g gundam with model kits, that shit is gold.
>>5595563
It was popular in Japan, shut the fuck up. There was tons of mercandisng back in the day.
>>5595563
>It wasn't popular in America either.
NOOOOOO
Seed killed american gundam.
>>5600475
CN passing on Zeta Gundam and going over a year with Superior Defender being the only series to air on TV killed Gundam in America. Seed just failed to revitalize it.
>>5595979
>That poster just pointed out the fact that the RD line is not only about Gundam
This used to be true but not anymore. This line is now 80% Gundam and that's lame.
>>5600579
generating random percentage numbers isn't going to do anything.
Beside they can release whatever they feel will make them the most profit, there's nothing you can do other than to buy or no to buy. Let say your 80% is true and you hate gundam. well guess what?, there's 20% of something that you might like. That's much better than 0%.
Oh, they are only releasing Gundam after Gundam, but not anything I want., no problem just don't buy it., When they do release something that you want , buy it.
Just because you don't like gundam doesn't mean other don't like it too, and many times it's the profit from those same Gundams that will give Green light on other RD projects thats not gundam.
>>5600475
Bandai of America killed Gundam in the USA. They forgot all about how to sell and market Gundams, it's almost like Hasbro and other US toy companys don't want Bandai in the USA market.
All they have to do is follow the simple formula.
Run Gundam Anime show/series, release related Merchandise.
>>5600607
Not him, but I honestly can't see Gundam ever being as popular in the west as it is in Japan regardless of market circumstances because Gundam as a franchise relies almost exclusively on UC nostalgia (specifically Early UC nostalgia) for its foundation and cashflow.
Even popular AU shows like SEED or Wing are never given ongoing support by Sunrise/Bandai for the simple reason that they are designed to funnel new fans into the UC. That's why efforts so far to introduce Gundam to the west, that has no cultural reference for the original show, have been failures. The support simply isn't there to nurture a growing fanbase.
>>5600708
Just to add to this conversation
I remember a couple of years ago on that TV channel called SyFy or SciFi (before they changed the named to the former)
How they would air 00 and Gurren Lagann at the pretty awkward time slots and a pretty odd day of the week, so it was kinda hidden
I feel like the same would happen again
>>5600708
>>5600752
There's really no place for Gundam series to get popular in the US. Maybe Netflix?Even so the problem is drowned out by the amount of content on their.
Gundam needs to reach an audience of older kids/younger teenagers to really sustain itself as far as merchandise sales go. toonami was great for this because it aired daily after school, but no US network really does action/older kid shows after school anymore. You'd also have to censor shows to compromise airing it on a decent timeslots on most of these networks, which purists wouldn't like.
>>5600752
It was also edited on Syfy (not for content but for time).
Finally got to spend some proper quality time with the Xi!
Attaching the shoulder-bra parts was a little tricky. They slid into place and plugged in smoothly, the tricky part was finding that sweet spot to slide them into place without rubbing against any other parts while doing so. Still, once you find that sweet spot it fits into place like a glove.
>>5591214
That is such a cool AS design, I'd love an RD of that.
>>5592916
I'm jealous! Two more weeks or so before I can ship mine out. Good to hear it doesn't disappoint.
>>5592984
Hah!
>>5593552
>>5593660
Haha, sorry anon! Last couple weeks have been kicking my butt, and getting into a car accident last week only exacerbated things (nothing too serious, old lady didn't check her blind spot before changing lanes and sideswiped me).
Unfortunately the only Ka Signature Mk II release I'm aware of is the Full Armor version, I can't recall any news about a stand-alone of just the Mk II.
I'd wager a Titans color version is a shoe-in for release, though!
>>5596218
Whoa, cool! The light green plastic looks slightly worse than that used on the real-thing (could just be the lighting, though), but otherwise that's pretty impressive for a bootleg. I can't believe they even included the gold inlay on the stand.
I wonder why they opted to bootleg the Kshatriya of all RDs.
>>5596655
The Full Action Unicorn has a bootleg, and I think there was one other.
Does anyone here have the Rick Dias? If so, what are your thoughts?
It is one of my favorite non-gundam designs and I have been eyeing the RD since it was first announced. It's going for $40 on Amazon with Prime. I have not pulled the trigger because I think there's a good chance it will drop in price. If Victory, being a lead gundam, is going for $25, then I can definitely see the Rick Dias becoming cheaper.
>>5602436
I own the rick dias and from my experience with it, it's a faithful rendition with some neat gear but don't expect any graceful posing as the wrist articulation/head and thigh are fairly non existent due to it's design. Nonetheless I would recommend it nonetheless but it's a far step back in quality like the mk2.
>>5602449
Thanks for the reply!
I also have the MKII RD and while I think it's a great action figure it's too stylized for my taste. The MKII is one of my favorite if not all time favorite "vanilla" Gundam designs and the RD is too anemic---the MKII is a chunky, bulky design and the RD simply failed in representing that element of the MKII. Probably going to sell it and jump on the ver Ka.
>in b4 thicc
>>5602994
I want a titans mk ii kai badly, i have the standard one, and while it looks good with the vulcan pod attached, the ka too stonk.
>missed out on Sinanju Animation Edit when it first came out because I was too busy getting all of my school projects done (also didn't know it had some tolerance changes from the original until most of the detailed reviews came out after it had sold out)
>fast forward to yesterday, was about to put a preorder down on BBTS for their upcoming restock, but find an eBay listing

Hey, does anyone have an idea of when the next Tamashii Nations show is? Shouldn't it be coming up soon?
>>5603991
If I remember right, there's usually one near the beginning of Summer. I wanna say towards the end of May?
>>5604001
Looking forward to it. Really want to see what might be in the near future. Like for the A.N.I.M.E line.
>>5603373
Too bad no one bought mine for $45 like a month ago. People always reply to my shit then never make a sale.
>>5603991
May 21st weekend.
>>5590169
well no Side AS goodies for this year too,one less thing to worry about.
Sadly.
Ehi let me check their figure line
>One Piece crap
>Dragon Ball crap
Well probably Banpresto is planning someth
>One Piece crap
>Dragon Ball crap
>Boatshit crap
oh well looks like they don't want my money anymore
I'm thinking of hunting this thing down. How fucked am I?
>>5596218
Any info on release date or where we can find it? The site mentioned in the pics is super confusing.
>>5605254
I dunno man, pretty much up the butt.
http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l342053524
Shit I hope we get more variation universe robot spirits, having seen that new astaroth gundam fron IBO and the full armor from thunderbolt im wondering why they aren't cashing in on it.
>>5605738
Yeesh.
>>5605825
I dont think RD wants to compete with Gunpla. IBO and Thunderbolt are the 2 Gunpla lines that are most active right now, releasing RDs at the same time over-saturates the market. Release the RDs later so that buyers on a budget will have money by that time to buy the RD, instead of making them choose all at once.
>>5602994
The MK-II Ka Sig looks like it will be slimmer than the standard MK-II design, the FA Ka Sig doesnt even look that bulky with the armor on
>>5606277
make titan colors bandai you shit
>>5605825
I dunno about everyone else but with the way engineering has improved on the IBO kits, I have less motivation to get the RD, especially when they're quadruple the price.
>>5606286
make Hazel Custom bandai you shit
>>5605254
Good luck, here is the ZZ Gundam version with add on Musha armor
>>5606390
>>5606277
It really does not look any slimmer than the RD release. I have the RD MKII so I know how slim it is. Besides, ver Ka are usually 144 scale as opposed to regular releases.
To the anon in the last thread who posted all the shots of his Dunbine and Chogokin collection; that was a totally rad set of pics, man!
I also love anon's idea of using the Saint Seiya display base for the Dunbine RDs. It fits them so well!
>>5603373
Nice, great purchase!
>>5605254
>>5605738
How big is this guy?
>>5605825
Would also love to see Thunderbolt RDs, though to be honest, right now my biggest hope is that the Unicorn TV series will incite Bandai to give us more RDs from that series first.
Still gotta get around to watching Unicorn TV.
>>5607186
That Knight Gundam is around 1/100, came out in 1989/1990.
>>5607314
Ahh, cool, not a bad size at all. Thanks for the info!
>>5607318
Seriously, that box art is ace.
>>5607338
can't wait for ca custom version.
>>5607358
Prototype Gundam is inevitable. Casval version is still doable, but it was first introduced in 1998 and the 1979 styling wasn't the norm at the time.
>>5607714
No... that's not true... that's impossible!!
>>5608952
Cool photo! With some imagination, I can see it as Sagara about to apprehend an Amalgam operative, haha.
>>5608967
That's a good point. I somehow get the feeling that Bandai is quite proud of their work with the ANIME RX-78 though, so I can see them gleefully churning out the repaints, haha.
>>5608952
Man, I miss this fucker. If I can get him cheap I would. Or trade my belial for him.
>>5609159
honestly, the only thing I don;t liek about it is the forearms seema bit too blocky compared to the rest of the figure. Like, they aren't propotioned right. I still wouldn't mind a ca version. I'm half tempted to do a darth with my ca zaku and potato cam.
>>5608967
the only gundam we'll never get is gundam journey to jaburo rolllout colors. Hope we get an ANIME Kempfer though.
was playing encounters in space again, man that game was awesome, wish there were more good gundam games around but capsule fighters is kill, and nothing comes to the states because no one wants to try it again.
We'd probably get way more rd and model kit support if toonami started getting more gundam shows on again.
Aw man.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvUorsLCTFo
Fuckin sold.
I did it, sempai! I caught a firefly!
>>5612079
>>5612084
These things are so fucking well designed. Imagine the brilliance that's going to be the Big Zam figure
>>5612116
oh god dmaned, ANIME WAR IN THE POCKET when? Shin Matsunaga custom when? Gerbera WHEN? BLUE DESTINY WHEN.
>>5613032
Man, kinda makes me wanna get Char's Rick Dom, which I'm surprised we're even getting. There any pictures of it?
>>5613069
Yep!
>>5613304
Oh man..... gorgeous. I'm torn between this, the g3 gundam, or waiting for a casval gundam.
Whaddo i do besides watch stardust? Seriously, why was this never brought over to the states?
I recently was rewatching the original Gundam.
Since the ANIME line is a big focus right now, I really hope we get RDs of the Guntank and G-Fighter, evendors if they endup as exclusives. I want to have the whole White Base team.
>>5613677
Guntank is pretty much guaranteed.
>>5613725
Yeah, but I want the G-Fighter too. I always preferred it to the Core Booster.
Hopefully though, we get those, and the Gelgoog and Gyan, then we'll have everything from the original series.
>>5613624
Char's Rick Dom all the way
the G3 gundam has been done to death
also dat mega beam bazooka
>>5613816
I don't have a G3 or a the gundam.
Also the bazooka on char's zeke is real unweildy!
>>5613677
guntank garunteed, I'd want a gm command unit, wish i could get an extra gm sniper dingo though to paint up.
>>5613767
Gyan would be tight, but I'd want 8th ms team, stardust, and war in the pocket instead! Kinda sucks that we only got the white dingos for side story mecha, thoguh EXAM was a favorite amongst the brass.
>>5613911
I'd much rather they finish out a series line before moving on to those
>>5613979
Same here, but I feel a bit of that is oyw related anyway. Besides, How many customs they can pump out if these units are successful?
We can get:
Anavel Gatto's Rick dom
Char's Gelgoog
Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog
Shin Matsunaga's Gelgoog
Anavel Gato's Gelgoog
Johny Ridden's Zaku r-2
Shin MAtsunaga's Zaku R1
Black Tri Star variants of all 3 zaku II
So many damned suits. Man, Where all my Zeon ace's at?
>>5614008
I'll be honest, the only one of those that has a chance of getting releasedis the Char Gelgoog. The line is called ANIME for a reason.
>>5614029
And before you bring up the Char Dom and G3, exceptions not the rule.
I don't think Bandai wants to dedicate that many slots for exclusivesto reuse the molds when I doubt many of those would get high number of sales.
>>5614035
Gato's gelgoog was animated, shin's and Johny's were only animated in encounters in space though.
If the zekes sell well enough, I'd imagine we'd get a few of those.
With the wing line, we already got about 10 units made compared to the anime's 7, not counting exclusives.
Since the line seems to be picking up enough steam to warrant retooling of parts for exclusives I think we can expect more later. Most likely to the tune of zeon aces, I'd say we're most likely to see tristar and shin customs first as exclusives though. They were exclusives in the MSIA line towards it's finale,
I wanna see Char's Gelgoog and the Zeong in this line.
If they turn out as awesome as the Dom looks... damn, ...just damn.
>>5614088
Oh right, forgot about the Zeong.
Yeah, that'd be cool. Though it'd need to come with a stand.
>>5614122
>zeong releases
>legs come in an expansion set
>5000 yen
>>5614217
nah, expansion set will be web exclusive, 15000 yen
>>5614518
God damn it.
>>5613677
>G-Fighter
My nigga.
I too want it. I fondly remember my very first Gundam toy from childhood: The Gundam and G-Fighter set.
>>5612118
I would really like an RD kämpfer.
>>5614122
Feh! Stands are just for show.
I'd be zooming that fucker around too much to worry bout a stand.
Looking to part with some of my RDs. All are complete with box. I will be moving soon and I have to trim the collection. My loss might be your gain:
Wing Zero Custom (EW) $40.00
Gundam MK-II AEUG Colors $35.00
Banshee Norn (Destroy Mode) $50.00
VF-25G (Mikhail) $25.00
Queadluun-Rhea (Klan Klang) $25.00

>>5608952
oi anon, i think i asked this before but does you or anyone know how the arbalest scales with say, little armory or any other loose weapon sets?
this guy needs more gear
>>5613304
I would want regular Rick Dom as well. Maybe it will be along the line as a regular release after Dom is sold out.
For the record, both MG Dom and Rick Dom have just been reissued. But I would rather wait for an RG Dom with Battle Operations aesthetics. Meanwhile, the most definitive version of the Dom is the RD.
We may also get an HG Revive based on Dom R35.
>>5616377
I want RD Okawara Dowage.
So I just got another Leo, but one of the legs is slightly out of place. Is there a way to pop it back in? Please excuse the potato picture.
G Gundam BDs just announced, so I hope that this translates into a few G RDs, even if its likely exclusives.
I want a Delphine Robot Spirit.
>>5617142
Hyper Mode Shining. That's it.
>>5612079
Looking good!
>>5616826
Wow, that's unusual. Which leg is the one that's out of place in your view? My first thought was the right one was too low at the upper knee joint, but looking at my one Space Leo, it kinda seems like maybe the left leg is too high at the knee. How's it look from the front? No luck pulling down the left leg or pushing up the right one? Any wobbliness at either joint that you notice?
>>5617170
I would be very open to Break Blade RDs!
>>5617238
Break Blade RDs would be amazing given the only real options so far that I know about are the Sentinel figures from a few years ago.
>>5614670
Boy does that take me back
>>5617288
Yeah, thats the one.
Fuck, I don't care what Tomino says, I liked the G-Fighter more than the Core Booster.
I don't care if it wouldn't be able to G-Bull, or if its just a brick, I'd love to get a G-Fighter RD.
>>5617288
I've still got him.
>>5606401
>It really does not look any slimmer than the RD release.
I was referring to the MK-II original lineart design, not the RD.
>>5617238
It's the right leg. The entire joint assembly seem to be sticking out of the thigh slightly. There's no functional issues, but you can notice a slight gap between the kneepad and the thigh if the leg's straight. I tried pushing it in with no luck.
>>5616826
>>5617238
Looking at http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51919162.html and the pictures in it, the joint should be more-or-less flush with the thigh, so you probably just need to push the right knee joint in nice and hard. Maybe try to ease it out to see if there's something wrong with the parts that was keeping it from being installed properly.
Heads up. Sirbine is available again at HLJ.
>>5617142
Have there been instances of RDs coinciding with bluray releases?
>>5590169
>>90% of upcoming releases are from Gundam
U mad brah?
>>5600475
>Seed killed american gundam.
As far as toys, I only ever saw the US releases of G MSIA at the end of their retail run.
>>5596626
>G gundam was also not curently airing at the time
When MSIA were on the shelves I remember G Gundam being on Toonami.
>>5596626
It was g gundam and sd gundam that killed gundam in na.
>>5617943
Not anymore.
>>5618038
It was definitely Seed man. Seed was bad plus the time slot change from weekdays after school to Saturdays at night
>>5618038
nigga i don't give a fuck
g gundam is getting a remaster on bluray
>>5619046
Awesome, the Force Impulse. I was waiting for-
IS THAT A FUCKING HYPER MODE LEPRECHAUN!? WITH MINI BILLBINE AND DUNBINES!?
>>5590150
is there a guide anywhere on how to order from the webshop? i was just gonna cross my fingers and hope google translate site works
>>5619046
>SRC Jeeg colored Mazinger Z
BANDAI STOP
>>5619072
A middle man service like Nippon-Yasan is the most common choice.
>>5619076
shit thats a relief. is the G-3 not on preorder from them yet though?
>>5619100
They had it up when I preordered, you may have missed the window
>>5619100
http://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/16175-robot-damashii-side-ms-rx-78-3-g-3-gundam-ver-anime.html
>>5619115
thanks anon
>>5619046
Just like the unlimited recolors of RD Unicorn, SRC Mazinger is doing the same.
I think the hyper Leprechaun will be the first Dunbine release for me to pass. As a delayed recolor release, there may be hopes for an olive Botune and probably Vierres reissue.
>>5617288
get the GFF version, also available in G3 colors
Oooh
http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201609fsvf/
Awww yeah. I was waiting for the generic VF-1. I'm thinking about buying 3 to do a transforming display with each mode.
>>5619412
Conflicting pics. Is it series style or DYRL? Or maybe come with parts for both?
ALPHONSE WHEN
>>5619412
VF-1A is 6800 yen and F Impulse is 6000. Funny how the price difference is so little.
The Strike Valkyrie was 8800 yen.
So backpack-less Hi Metal is 6800, and 8800 with backpack.
While backpack-less RD is 4500-5000 and backpack RD is 6000.
>>5619530
They are hinting a new Trident Stand Plus(Dark Blue) to go with these guys. Not sure if they will have the one with the Zentradi ship.
>>5619673
Argh, it is just the original one plus two of those act 5 human support stand arms.
I already own 8x tridents and have quite a lot of spare arms from other stands anyway.
>>5619530
I hope it comes with TV parts. SDFM rules and DYRL drools.
>>5619046
Is hyper-mode Leprechaun an exclusive? It'd be weird if they made it a general release when the fuckin Vierres was an exclusive.
Also, where my Bozune and Wryneck at, Bandai?
>>5620121
It has the webshop stamp on the pic. Of course it is.
>>5619762
new one has the macross emblem though does it not? Makes for a nicer display.
>>5620113
Yes it does.
What si the subtle difference between TV and Movie VF-1s?
>>5620399
Shape of head sensor, style of hands, pilot uniform. There are some others too, like yellow lights on the wrist for DYRL instead of red, but the pics all seem to have red there...
I just got back into RD's this week. Is the RX-78 A.N.I.M.E super good? Looking at him and Rick Dias for my first order back in the game.
http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000103644/
>>5620628
I like the two tone metallic/clear plastic on both the SRC Gaogaigar and God Gundam, but it just doesn't work here. It doesn't help that you can see the screws on the inner frame through the clear plastic.
Given that every regular Dunbine release so far has had a exclusive color variant does anyone think that Sirbine will get a metallic paint or pearl coat version 4-6 months after release?
I hope they make that funny looking boxer zeon suit fro unicorn at some point, and gundam maxter
>>5620758
Speaking of wishlisting does anyone else hope we get The-O at some point? Or even a lovely nemo or hizack? Hot damn I love zeta
>>5620869
Nemo? Holy shit. Hadn't even thought of that. That would be awesome as an RD.
...Assuming they didn't give it funky stylization like the Zeta and the MKII. But given the Rick Dias and Qubeley, they might not being doing that anymore.
So I got this guy about 2 weeks ago for my birthday, and he's freakin' amazing! The engineering that went into this RD really impresses me (and others that I've shown it off to, heh). It makes it very hard to resist the rest of the A.N.I.M.E. sub line...
>>5620610
See above. Also, yes, it is super good. While most modern RD's are pretty comparable in terms of articulation and detail, this one feels like an almost perfect figure. Some design choices don't sit well with everyone (like the extra panel line details or certain proportions like the legs or fore arms), but if you like it enough from pictures you see online, then do yourself a favor and pick one up.
THAT BEING SAID, there was a small accident today... I had my A.N.I.M.E. Gundam posed with the beam effect attached to his rifle when I accidentally knocked him over and the peg for the beam bent. I tried to bend it back into place but the peg snapped from the stress. I'm a bit bummed out because I really liked that particular effect piece for this figure.
I know this is probably a longshot, but were there any anons who might've gotten multiple of this guy who would be willing to part with a beam rifle effect piece for me? I'd be willing to pay if needed.
>currently in China for vacation, can get RDs on chinese websites for relatively cheap with little to no shipping
>A.N.I.M.E. Dom is supposed to come out on the 23rd
>need to wait until it's avaliable from chinese vendors, then shipping
>need to leave within a week or so
I guess I can order it when I get back in the states but the shipping cost and time would be rather unpleasent, hope I make it in time.
>>5620985
Hopefully a revamped destiny like they did with the unicorn because old one has some really horrid scaling issues.
>>5621053
I agree. Both the Strike Freedom and Destiny are way too dated. Destiny is okay, but Strike Freedom doesn't hold up, especially in comparison to the new Freedom.
>>5620758
>Maxter
with the G BD's, it's closer than ever my friend
>>5620910
is there any visible discoloring on the base where the peg attaches? if so, heat it up in something like boiling water and rub the discolored portion until the stress marks go away.
if not, then just skip straight to super glue, baka
>>5621731
You are an idiot. Go away.

>>5620869
My personal want list from Zeta would be Gaplant, Palace Athene and Gabtheley
>>5621979
>too bad this'll sell like crap
At least it and the G-Self can fit on the shelf of "series with only one RD release" among others
>>5622015
>G-Self
if g self looked more like the proto g self, it'dve sold better. How was that series anyway? Just got through with unicorn, was not as good as stardust.
>>5622019
It's your average Tomino series. A lot of focus on weaponized hands.
>Proto G-Self
I prefer that design, actually.
>>5622015
Kimaris is getting a release so atleast we're getting that.
>>5622021
look at this beauty, all it needs is some beefing up and it'd be tight.
>>5622023
skipped leg day
>>5621970
Dom looks great. Really great.
And that Gundam. Damn. If only it didn't have all those extraneous notches and panel lines. Especially those ugly cutouts on the cheek-plates. Rarrrrghh!
>>5622087
looks fine to me mate. I'm probably gonna get g3 or the ca version if that eve comes out.
Only thing off to me is the forearms. Might get the CA dom instead. I dunno. This line is gold. I hope they do more.
Anyone got that pic of RD Char's Zeke next to the rg and 1/144 from the 2chan thread? It went down before i could get it. Or hell, if anyone has both next to each other.
>>5621979
Love it, hope to see all the orphan suits, I mean they rolled out just about every 00 suit so why the heck not.
>>5621914
well, really, what does he have to lose? and i don't see you with any beter ideas, nerd
gentle heat and minor pressure works wonders on gunpla stress marks, try rubbing your fingernail against a small stress mark from a misnipped nub.
>>5622023
Not a fan of the "eyes" on the chest but otherwise would have preferred that over the G-self we got. And it almost looks like Barbatos took a bit of inspiration from this design as well.
Looks like RD Freedom is now sold out due to the announcement for Force Impulse.
>>5622369
Took them 8 months from August.
>>5622369
Hopefully the Force Impulse sells well and we get more CE stuff.
As much as I like the Luna ZAKU, I fear that it will shelfwarm.
>>5621979
I personally would like to see a Graze RD
>>5622395
at 6000 yen hell ya it's gonna shelf warm
>>5622847
They must really be counting on the Zaku name selling it. These prices are insane. Freedom didn't even sell out and it was cheaper than that. Justice shelfwarmed and Providence was an exclusive.
>>5622858
Well I wouldn't have minded a 6000 yen tag so long as it was any other colored variant that wasn't pink , why does bandai always roll out the worst possible suits to start a line?
>>5622019
>How was that series anyway?
Love it or hate it. You also have pay attention to what's happening. Plot isn't spoon feed to you like in most anime
I am confused about RD releases. Do Japanese reviewers get stuff sent to them early or are the items usually avaliable before the specific release date?
I am looking at the A.N.I.M.E. Dom, I think the supposed release day is the 23rd? It's already sold out on hobbysearch and some other vendors claim they have the it in stock and can ship today.
Am I about to make a huge mistake or what
>>5623201
My understanding is that some reviewers get them before the official release.
>>5622275
Learn to read.
>>5623201
Dom is in stock now at HLJ. Sirbine is also available again.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51977479.html
>>5623548
Great! Also looking at the barbatos again, is anyone else really bothered by those hardpoint holes in the back of the elbows? What possible reason to put those there could be?
>>5623425
learn to be constructive, you offered no way to fix the problem and are still too focused on me to be helpful, anon
>>5623682
He could pin it if he had small enough tools and materials, but I doubt he does, and that would look like shit with a clear effect part. He's looking for a replacement, and rightly so. You are not being constructive, you are being a git.
