So a thread a few days ago kinda revitalized my interest in SD Gundam. I watched the SD Gundam Force TV series as a kid on Toonami and remember having tons of action figures.
The post mentioned these Carddass cards and I was wondering where the best place to get them would be. I can't find them on the typical places. I've found a few used ones and some on Amazon but I'm not sure if Amazon would ship overseas. They're also not on Bandia international shipping page.
Also, does anyone know what form of Barbatos Gundam this guy is based on?
>>15533029
Another thing I'm wondering about: Are the SDs just people wearing armor? I've seen some figures where the Gundams are just humans wearing helmets.
If not, they're SD Robots that pilot non-SD robots?
>>15533029
So is this a new show or just a new character?
>>15533035
They're sentient robots with different armour and abilities in sci-fi fantasy setting.

>>15533035
Man, SD is pretty crazy. Both design and lore.
Wish their media is translated in English more.
>>15533818
Yeah, besides the SD Gaiden OVA I basically know nothing about it. There's the historical ones, fantasy, and then the ones that are parodies of the regular gundam shows.

>>15533903
You know it aired in like 2000, right?
>>15533936
Wing was 2000. SD was 2004. But yeah after 13 years most people who watched it almost certainly aren't underaged.

Where do these little booklets come from?
And thanks, dude.
>>15533035
Musha G Generation, the BBsenshi series based off Turn A Gundam serves as an origin story. It explains that they were originally all mobile dolls, but during a conflict against an ancient evil AI, some ancient goody AI possessed the Turn A mobile doll and gave it sentience. Over time that grew to a whole race of sentient mobile dolls.
The depiction of humans alongside SD Gundams is inconsistent though. Knight Gundam spin-offs usually had them in some way while Musha and G-arms usually omitted them altogether.

Are the cards part of a card game or something? Thanks again.
>>15534136
Carddass started off from vending machines that kids can roll a card for like a quarter or something, later turned into exclusive collectors card set that can only be purchased as a full set via Premium-Bandai website. Throughout the years Bandai have published may sets as you can see from this list, with 7 more published since the cutoff at 2014.
Here is what you get if you buy a set:
Box (obviously)
Cards, usually 40 to 50 in a regular set, and double that if it is a special set / reprint bundle.
Some sets comes with a giant anniversary card, others have special cards that are double layered. Meaning the top card is a sticker that you can peel off to reveal another card underneath. They also provide blank backing cards for the peeled off stickers
A booklet with shows the thumbnails for all the cards in the set, talks about the settings and stories, and a short comic at the end. The best feature IMO would be the draft line arts of the designs.
Also comes with a sleeve binder for keeping the cards. The cover of the binder is themed to each set.

Will be pretty sad if the new set doesn't pop up on the overseas shipping section when it comes out.

I've been downloading this for hours and it's still 20% away from finishing.
Really love the SD series, collected them before moving on to 1/100 scale models. Looking at the images here I was curious and wanted to see the Knight version of the 00 units only to find pic related after hours of searching.
This makes me sad. I couldn't find any Sengokuden version of 00 units either.
>>15537166
There's this, I guess.
>>15537306
wat's that?
>>15536060
Turn A Knight looks pretty dapper here.
>>15537306
Nice, Exia even have transformation mode like Haganemaru. And seems like a new story which is why Exia does not exist in the Sengokuden.
And still decided to dig in more and found out that Exia is the Brave Gundam in the Genesis of Gundam Gaiden and became the core of Superior Dragon. Thought it was a variation stuff, turns out they actually took it into canon.
Things got a little bit better. It just a downer not seeing the other Celestial Being units.
Also some sort of Superior Dragon/Kaiser timeline or evolution image.
I can't find the link but there was a bloggish site called Card Baka that had scans of tons of the older Carddass lines.
I thought I put them on my mediafire but that only has a couple of the sets, I guess it's in one of my megas? I'll try looking around when I'm out of the office.
>>15537910
>>15538144
Actually meant to post this, fuck
>>15538145
not as cool as this one. I just bought 2.
>>15539402
I like these more than main series gundam designs and that's kinda sad
>>15539583
welcome to a land full of secret best gundams
I like the exercise of trying to figure out which regular gundam they are based off on
I failed to see how Bandai managed to release 4 different versions of the superior dragon in their SDX line without including the evil superior dragon. This is the most badass version.
>>15539402
Needs more edge, bruh.
>>15539583
For serious
>>15539927
Why does Bandai favor the Musha lineup over the fantasy SDs? Not that pic related isn't cool
pic2
SD also gets best girls
pic3
>>15539946
>>15539942
Musha is more popular and therefore Bandai invests more in it, it's a money thing.
3 main SD lines in order of popularity:
1. Musha
2. Knight
3. G-arms
Musha and Knight are pretty close, G-arms lost by a huge margin
>>15539938
There's no SD kit for this, is there?
>>15539960
Is Sangokuden part of the Musha line? Speaking of Sangokuden, I wish they do another SD show soon, so we can get more frequent amount of SD kits.
>>15539942
I keep on passing on that every time I see it.
It's the only SD - real type I'm missing from my collection.
>>15539984
no, but close enough. The Musha story ended and they needed something similar, so they turned to Chinese history. Its ironic since they are still advancing the story on Knight Gundam Gaiden, outliving both Musha and Sangokuden
>>15539994
But >>15539942 is the only cool one though; it even sacrificed itself Alice style and pushed a falling colony away from earth. All that other guy >>15539583 did was just standing around, getting corrupted by Master Gundam and the protagonist ends up needing to get another rental real-type gundam from heaven to kick it's ass
>>15539960
I think there was an a restructuring of the spin-offs in '92 '93, thereabouts, when Shin Sengokuden and Shin Gaiden arcs were made. From then on, the Hobby division's BBsenshi started focusing more on Musha while the Toy division's Gansou line of kits started focusing on Knight and what's left of G-arms.
This really helped with the longevity of Musha Gundam since Bandai Hobby's stuff is constantly being reissued while Gansou ended in the mid-90s.
>>15539996
Prior to Sangokuden they tried to reboot the SD franchise several times, SD Gundam Force was one of these attempts. None of them really caught fire until Sangokuden came along.
>>15539975
very few and extremely rare by now:

>I wish they do another SD show soon, so we can get more frequent amount of SD kits.
The next thing after Sangokuden that spawned something like that was the Danball Senki franchise. But even that franchise has died down.

Zeorymer?
>>15533029
Either it is a Lupus Form or the 4th form.
>>15541251
Yeah, Zeorymer indeed. They do references like that.
>>15540996
which one? the ex-s?
soon...

Neat, can't wait to see more of Exia. Probably descendant of the Brave Gundam.
I still have all my SD Force toys, minus all the beam sabers. I remember getting most of them at Toys R Us for like $3 a piece.
