I like them a lot. They really help give the Zaku a sense of scale, as if it's this big lumbering machine instead of a little plastic toy. I also like how modular the set is, you can basically put it in any configuration you can think of, there's plenty of ports for stage act stands and the buildings themselves all have square AC unit things on their rooves that can be removed to reveal a stage act port underneath. The buildings are a little plain being un-painted and all but that can be easily remedied. I will definitely be picking up the undamaged version.

Shot of the port I'm referring to.

Since the Macross thread died and this seems the most relevant place to put it, the Hi-Metal R Millia's VF-1J went up for pre-order as a web exclusive on the 16th. Comes with the customized stands for Millia and Max's units, the normal suspects have pre-orders up for it now.

Any Force Impulse pics yet?

Yes

>>5913799
To say I rarely give much of a damn about scale. The fact those buildings make the Zaku look a lot bigger than the nearly 18 metres somewhat bothers me.
Even still, they look great together.

>>5916162
It's a mega-zaku!

>>5916169
Or maybe its a village of midgets?

I've always wondered if a city existed entirely of midgets, would they make everything smaller? Think of how much money they would save!

>>5916169
Time to get some buildings to display with a Megasize Zaku for Mega Mega Zaku fun.

>>5916176
Or you could put them on the shoulder of a 1/12 Zaku and have mega mega-zaku on mega-mega mega-zaku fun!

And then you could go to Gundam Front and do mega mega-zaku on mega-mega mega-zaku on mega mega-mega mega-zaku!

>>5916202
And at that point you will have mega'd all the Zaku's.

I fear that Japan will continue to make even bigger Zaku's, making this into a never-ending cycle.

You don't know? Earth is basically just the giant monoeye for a Zaku.

This now makes me even more painfully ware of how much we need new molds of the early SEED RDs, and that isn't even touching Destiny and Strike Freedom.

Been getting quite a boner for GFF/Zeonography figures lately, what are some good ones from the line that won't cost me a fortune?

>>5916730
don't be lured in. if you have ANY love for articulation, you will hate any gff you pick up because it can't pose and it will fall to pieces.

>>5916957

This. GFFs and their ilk are essentially glorified statues. They're good for static poses, and little else.

>>5916730
Articulation in the legs is non-existant. If you can deal with that they make some great looking figures and their weapons also fit on RD figures.

Hah!

>>5913799
>>5913803
Awesome, thanks for the info! Never knew they hid stage ports on the buildings, that's really cool. Are the buildings stable enough to actually support an RD that's being held aloft without tipping over, though? I want to get two of the same set (so I can have matching street bases) but I just can't decide between the damaged or undamaged set. I dig the mix of damaged/undamaged buildings in the damaged set, but I prefer the undamaged street base. Such a dilemma, haha.

>>5916015
Preordered, can't wait to have the pair of 'em together!

>>5916231
>You don't know? Earth is basically just the giant monoeye for a Zaku.

>>5916598
Tempted to pick up the D-Spec Metal Gear Rex. Looks kinda neat from the reviews I can find, anyone have any thoughts to share on it?

>>5919131
The buildings also have ports on the bottom as well that connect them to the base itself, so it should be pretty sturdy. I guess it depends on what you're trying to put there. I haven't actually tried it myself yet.

>>5919131
>Preordered, can't wait to have the pair of 'em together!

Won't deny a little bit of buttmad that Millia is coming out 4 months later and as a web exclusive. But I guess it was to be expected. Definitely looking forward to it myself. That and looking forward to them finally releasing super-packs by themselves at some nebulous future point.

>>5919131
>D-Spec Metal Gear Rex
Worth it at the sale price. The MSRP was outrageous like most of the D-Specs. I hope the D-Spec AT-AT eventually drops to that sale price too.

At that price Rex is great. Small but some really nice articulation in the figure. Snake and Liquid are pretty near impossible to make stand up but again for that price, he is great and I paid full price for it.

>>5918959
>>5917278
>>5916730

For GFFS get the Big O FA Suits, HWS Nu, FAZZ, etc, even with RD articulation your suit's going to be a brick when you slap on Full Armor, and if you're going to be standing there looking good, GFF is still heads and shoulders above RD. Also it nullifies the other main complaint of GFF which is the armor popping off too too much. They're not going to if it's in a standing position.

I'll recommend a nu-gundam HWS if you're looking to get the next GFF, it's big and bulky and looks majestic standing there. Also there's not that many alternative release of the HWS in other lines that I know of. Also the fin funnel attaches a lot firmer than the RD Nu.

The GP-02 is another good one, since we're not going to get anything from 0083 anytime soon, if ever. Also that huge shoulder pads and bazzoka and shield is more than likely to make if a brick regardless of RD articulation or not

both releases are only like 3 to 4k yen on Mandy

>>5921541

I will say this, I do enjoy the GFF figures I have despite their lack of posability. On some of them the arms come off way too easy though and it can be very annoying.

>>5922547
I feel like the RD line mostly replaced the MSIA line, but we never got a replacement line for GFF,

I'm guessing the Ver Ka RDs are supposed to be the successor to GFF lines but the details are still not up to par

Holy shit. F91 Metal build!!!!

>>5923291
Odd choice. But it's bandai and japan after all.

>>5923291
>>5923325
1st UC metal build?

>>5923325
F91 is what you do when you need to make a release to keep the line relevant but couldn't decide on a good choice.

The strike freedom is a pretty hard act to follow, for better or worse. Hopefully the F91 would have a lower price to break the increasingly more costly MB trend

>>5923336
So for this metal build , will it be able to turn into a F90 like the GFF .

>>5923291
I literally just finished ordering the RD F91 on manda. The first thread I click on is this one.

Well maybe I'll have multiple f91's in the future.

>>5923291
SOLD, this will look nice next to my GFFMC Unicorn and Origin Gundam.

>>5923291
Oh boy. Which major organ will I have to sacrifice for this?

How's the RD Barbatos guys? Worth a buy if I already have the HG kit?

>>5923372
Not much in the way of accessories, just the katana and mace, but it does its job quite nicely. Here's hoping they release that optional set to convert it into the later forms and has the rest of its weapons. Supposedly it was confirmed we'd be getting more IBO RDs in the coming year.

Yeah, I'm excited for that too, but the Guntank set is more so for me.
Just need them to do the G-Fighter so I can complete a White Base team.

>I'm guessing the Ver Ka RDs are supposed to be the successor to GFF lines but the details are still not up to par

The RD Ka Signature is the replacement for GFF. I'm not sure what specific details you are talking about when you say "not up to par". GFF has nice details and nice pre-marking labels, but some small areas on them suffered from warping, parts like the forehead V-fins and other delicate detail would be slightly off, and some of the paint apps in spots could be better. I feel like the Ka Signature line does a better job in these areas, along with being less fragile than GFF, but that is expected considering the higher price tag, relatively, compared to the GFFs.

>>5922547
>I will say this, I do enjoy the GFF figures I have despite their lack of posability.

I do too. What MSiA was to plastic Gundam kits, GFF was to resin gundam kits. The Katoki style is popular among resin Gundam modeling. The GFF looked different than their HGUC or MSIA counterparts. I hate to sound like a Katoki fanboy, but his little touches really make the original lineart designs of Mobile Suits look better, most of the time.

>>5923531
Mass produce the Whitebase deck?

I am not mass producing the trio as I want them to be heroes.

>>5923477
I am surprised that it is only 6000 yen.
I've long waited for a good Full Armor Gundam.

>>5924152
Also it's partially cutoff, but that looks like 2, which would mean it releases in Feb. With the Guntank in March.

motherfucking dom

unless youre one of those v fin only faggots

>>5924880
Get the ANIME if you can. It doesn't look impasoing with its lack of greebles, but the real secret is the insane engineering inside of it. Can look straight up, ab crunch, toes, van damme splits, forearm AND bicep rotation.

It also comes with a fuckton of effect parts and ports all over the body. You can even have it shooting beam sabers out of his feet if you wanted to. They're compatible with other ANIME figures too should you get any others.

If you don't want white, someone posted the FA version above, so I'd wait for that one.

>>5924896

>>5924987
How is that thing? It was interesting to me since I can't see the joints, and I heard it's the best ANIME one out there.

How do Damashiis look next to 1/12 figures like figmas and shit?

>>5925047
They're usually the same size as HGUCs,so around 4-5 inches/figuarts size.

>>5925049
Alright cool thanks.
Wanted to get the MG for Victory but heard it was terrible so damashii it is.

>>5924075
GFFs has pre-applied/painted marking, the Ver-ka RDs are plain as fuck before applying the decals, but then you take forever and get the plastic reflection

>>5923531
You think more RDs might start coming with diorama pieces like this?

For example, maybe if they make the G-Fighter, it comes with a expansion of the diorama here.

>>5925059
I wouldn't be surprised if the G Fighter came with another expansion, it seems like they're doing this kind of deal to make sure more people buy the Guntank because it's not really that popular.

>>5923291
I'm glad they're introducing UC to Metal Build, hope they make RX-93 next.

>>5925039

The Dom? I just said it's amazing. It's amazing. pay attention, dammit. Get one.

>>5923291
I'm with this guy >>5923902

I've never had them before and don't even know how much they usually run, but fuck it. As long as I've got nothing else going on that month I'll take the plunge.

>>5923531
I really hope they have a version without the White Base deck. It's really fucking cool and all but I'm not sure I want to shell out the cash for a diorama piece I don't have the room or desire to make the room for.

How is SRC Giant Robo? I absolutely love Giant Robo: The Animation and it's a really tempting figure at that sale price on HLJ.

Also, what are the best toy iterations for each of Imagawa's main robots? SRC seems like best option for GR and Shin Mazinger, while SOC seems good for 2004 Tetsujin. Obviously going to go for the RDs of Shining, God and Master Gundam. Would I be correct in assuming these would be my best options?

>>5925375
Expect it to be a couple hundred bucks or so. Also plan on camping the Japanese preorder sites when the preorders go up. Metal Builds sell out notoriously quickly.

>>5924652
>>5923477

I'm sure someone wouldn't mind taking your White Base pieces from you if they can extend their display.

That means I'm gettin him sooner than i thought, nice!

>>5925551
It releases in Japan tomorrow/today (it's 2am in Japan right now) but as you know it's still going to take a while for us gaijin to recieve our orders.

>>5925618
How long have you guys been waiting for your shit? I've got orders that I haven't received for a month when it used to only take two weeks.

How are the L-Gaim robot spirits? I was interested in their Ashura Temple.
Is that Graia out yet?

Also holy shit that Dougram. Blockhead soon?

>>5925632
I only own the L-Gaim Spiral Booster set, It has a lot of nice details, like cords on the back of the legs. The articulation is pretty good and it comes with an okay amount of accessories. My only complaint is that it is all molded in a white plastic that I personally find unsightly, but other than that it is great. So I assume that the others in the line are good as well

>>5925627
Anime-Export took extra long to ship Char's Dom. They said they shipped it on the 31st but tracking didnt start updating until like 8 days after. I think there was some kind of error because it showed that it had been logged into the Japanese post office at the exact date and time that I had first decided to check the tracking and then it showed up at my door when the tracking said it had just arrived in the US. Took like 12 or 13 days to get something I ordered EMS though.

>>5925663
I'm guessing there's been an across-the-board increase in shipping time.

P-bandai exclusive? It has the bandai collectors shop logo on the top right.

>>5926378
It appeared for a split second. I think a sqaud of them were mass produced, mainly led my Muisey's white Zwarth.

So if the Zwarth is getting two recolours, there is hope for more Botunes then.

Both Nouvel Dsserd and vermillion Zwarth are confirmed releases as stated on their placeholder card.

>>5926411
Bloody hell, so they have to make one of the trios as a web exclusive, as as they did with Dragonar 3, and one of the 5 MS team Gundams from Seed and Wing.

So no chance of a Guntank only release as retail?

Then again they retconned the guntank a lot didn't they?

The only "retcon" of the Guntank is that it doesn't appear in the Gundam movie trilogy after the White Base is resupplied at Jaburo and launches back into space. Hayato ends up piloting a second Guncannon instead.

>Can anyone else think of some off the wall OYW era suits in this vein that they might do?

I'm almost expecting a GM Sniper Custom to show up at the next Tamashii Nations show. Either something like the Desert Zaku for the ANIME line, or a Ka Sig. version like Katoki did for the GFF line years ago. Though this is only since I really feel they're lacking a solid Federation MS release for the 'MSV' sub line admittedly.

Even though that seemingly gone Bluefin 'rep' said the model and figure divisions don't actively compete. With the news drop of the MG GM Sniper II, would not be surprised if the Figures side put out display prototypes for the two versions simultaneously hahaha!

>>5928336
Hmmm......does the guntank model sell like shit? Cause if so, maybe they looked at those metrics.

So many awesome announcements! Particularly hyped for the FA RX-78. Looks superb (those effect parts!) and I love how it's exactly what anon was asking for in the last thread, haha.

>>5925056
The decals included with Ka Signatures are waterslides though, so they look pretty good once applied. I wholly agree that it's a pain to do, though (I've never bothered applying 'em, heh), and was definitely the one area where they inferior to GFFs.

That being said, ever since missile-butt Xi and Penelope, Ka Signatures have had fully painted/tampo-ed markings! While with Xi & Penelope you had the option of buying versions that were unmarked, Refined Barzam and the FA Mk II were both released fully deco-ed, and the upcoming Ex-S and Dijeh will be similarly deco-ed up.

Seems to be the new standard going forward, and while it adds a nice chunk of change to the price, I'm really happy with the direction because it really looks great.

Welcome aboard, anon! For cool/weird designs, I'd heartily recommend checking out the Dunbine and Dragonar series of RDs (the Dunbine line in particular may do it for you, with a unique insect influence on its designs). Both lines have universally great figures and are fairly readily available.

These two are from Dragonar!

>>5925678
Great catch anon! Had no idea they were including decals. Planning to grab two GMs, so the decals are gonna be awesome to differentiate 'em.

>>5926722
Bandai did a good job with the Hi-Metal Armored VF-1J and the ANIME Zaku's missile pods attach super securely, so I'm confident they'll do well here. Especially considering the armor needs to be able to securely support the missile effect parts too.

Yeah I went through that with the Tri-star's arms. I'm used to it now.

>>5930103
The good news is the rest of this figure is surprisingly solid! The legs are fiddly because of how much of it is interchangeabale.

137KB, 850x1133px

Finally got around to gettin' a Qubeley! Overall I like it, since I'm a big fan of the design. It's glossy finish is especially great, though it's lacking in the articulation department quite a bit. It just strikes me as odd how there can be such disparity between releases from this line at times. I guess maybe it's just Qubeley's design that hinders it, but there are also some areas where it doesn't even seem like they tried to incorporate some of the articulation that other RD's usually have...

>>5924576
>>5924607
You guys are so helpful, heh. But seriously, this design never stood out much to me before, but knowing how great the base figure is, and seeing all the great stuff he comes with... I can't pass up on this guy.

Now if only there were another way to get the effects parts that come with Char's Zaku without having to get Char's Zaku...

>>5928391
Another one of the MSV designs I never really had a thing for, but imagining it as an A.N.I.M.E. figure changes how I feel about it completely.

>Can anyone else think of some off the wall OYW era suits in this vein that they might do?
I could see them doing a few GM variants. Something like a GM Cannon and this GM Sniper Custom would make the most sense, and maybe one recolor variant like a White Dingo GM (oh god if they did this... I would love to have a full team of White Dingo suits).

>>5932088
It can get very close. Kneeling is possible and doesn't look too unnatural, and getting the rifle in position is good too. The biggest issue I can remember from when I had one was lining up the head with the sight, but I overlooked that since he has a separate visor on his helmet for targeting.

>>5928528

What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>5932118
What bugs me about the Qubeley is not its articulation is worse than most RD's but that it can't even do things the MSIA and HCM pro did. The way the sabers don't actually slot into the wrists and you get a partswap, and that the beam effects aren't even intended to fit into the partswap despite the wrist blasters being so iconic. It would have been awfully nice to get funnels not attached to the effect part, too.

They definitely don't try as hard with certain mechs, its obvious. The Rick Dias similarly feels half assed but it at least is nice and solid because of it.

So sexy, but why'd thye change it's head crown camera from cold blue to that ugly green color?

>>5932292
I dunno! I'm sorry, I always liked the standard Zakus more, and I just don't really feel the need to own Char's Zaku. I'll probably change my mind though, because I really want those effect parts.

It's really hard to resist collecting all of the A.N.I.M.E. line... I only have the Gundam right now, but everyone hypes up the Dom, and I want a Zaku II, but then Char's Zaku II comes with all the effects, and now Guncannon and GM are looking good too...

>>5933593
>>5933619
>>5933812
I like the markings on it, especially the little Federation logo on his left bicep. Though that random change of the head camera from blue to green was a bit of mistake if you ask me. Blue looked a lot better in the pre-release pics.

>>5933963
Char's Zaku is probably the worst of the ANIME figures with it's loose legs and locking mechanism in the knees.

>>5934018
>http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51989774.html
Mine has no such leg losseness.

>>5934018
And see, I've been hearing this from a lot of others here, which is another reason I'm not sure I want it. Does the standard Zaku suffer from the same issues? And what exactly is the issue with the locking knees?

I just wish they would've spaced out those effect parts a bit better. It would've made more sense to pack the bazooka effect in with the Dom, and maybe the explosion effect with the standard Zaku. But as it is now, Char's Zaku is the "key" to having a bit more fun with the A.N.I.M.E. line, at least on the Zeon side.

>>5934042
The upper knee joints are forced into one of two positions, if you try to put it into a position in between those two points it reverts one way or the other.

>>5934042
And no the Zaku II does not have these issues.

>>5933593

>>5934042
>And what exactly is the issue with the locking knees?
It's as >>5934062 says, but as an analogy, if you're familiar with Marvel Legends, the joint kind of feels like the joints on those toys, where the joint has a position it prefers to go into but you can sit in between the preferred positions if you want (sort of like a pseudo-ratchet joint).

And anon already said it, but it should be stressed that this "preferred position" thing is only on the upper knee joint; the lower knee joint is a normal smooth joint. The way it works in practice is when you bend the knee, the lower knee joint starts bending first. As you bend the lower knee joint more, you'll sort of "activate" the upper knee joint to bend and as the upper knee joint gets into its preferred position, that gets your knee into a 45 degree bend. Then, from there you can continue bending the lower knee joint freely until you have the lower leg almost flat against the upper leg.

Another way to describe it, the upper knee joint has basically two preferred positions; unbent and 45 degree bent, but to compensate for that the lower knee joint is free to go into any position it wants.

Not sure how clear/unclear that description is coming across, haha. I guess what I'm getting at is that while I can understand people who dislike this, it's not a big deal to me. I can still get the leg into essentially whatever position I want and I've never felt hindered by how the upper knee joint behaves.

And again, as anon pointed out, the grunt Zaku II has normal, smooth joints on both upper/lower knee. Oh, and just to note, my Char hasn't had any issues with looseness, but then I haven't had him in any extreme poses for an extended period time or anything.

I still think Char's Zaku is worth grabbing, especially considering how often it goes on sale. The sweet effect parts it includes add some nice value to the package. HLJ has it for 2750 JPY til the 30th:

The legs are the same but the joints are definitely retooled, its joints do not 'lock' in the same manner.

>>5934042
They're needlessly annoying but its not that big of a deal. I had a much bigger issue with how loose its hips were out of the box. Luckily that is an easy fix since they're just ball joints.

>>5934273
I still just can't take Regults seriously. But I love me some Glaug.

In my case I went with MyKombini for my Millia pre-order. Their (usual) 50% deposit rather than 100% for web exclusives has made them my new best friend.

Most dynamic MS? For instance, something that could pull off poses like pic related with ease

Giant robots aren't exactly known for being flexible/highly articulated.

Your best bet might be something also made by revoltech.

>Giant robots aren't exactly known for being flexible/highly articulated.
I wouldn't go that far, but your not without merit either (poor Domon lol). Really depends on how well each RD is articulated and each attachment piece (i.e. skirt armor) doesn't limit the posability of the RD.

>>5935488
I'd bet my money it's the A.N.I.M.E. RX-78, but can't say with any certainty as I've yet to purchase this RD.

>>5935785
Thanks for the info and photo, what's that one in the middle?

>>5935856
That's the Arbalest from Full Metal Panic.

Anyone still need two White Dingo Sniper 2's?

I feel like the White Dingo adoption agency.

>>5935443
I give no fucks, I'd buy it like i buy every other exclusive I want.
>>5934397
I saw multiple anons complaing about the ratchet in the gree zeke legs, does yours just not do it?

>>5935949
You probably got it confused with Char's, my regular Zaku 2 doesn't have the same "ratcheting" upper knee joints as Char's and I've never seen anyone else say otherwise about theirs

>>5935488
The ANIME RX-78-2 can hit that pose and others like it effortlessly. Mandarake has it in stock for 3500 yen:

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1050856598&ref=list

You could also wait for them to get the G-3 Gundam in-stock, but it will be much more expensive, at least twice as much.

>>5935982
G-3 gundam is also incredibly sexy. Just look at it's tastefull color scheme.
>>5933619
>>5933593

>>5935941
Ah cool. That series on the whole looks pretty interesting, I'll have to look more into it.
>>5935982
Thanks, he looks great. Torso articulation looks a little weak from what I've seen, but everything else is really good.

>>5936056
The venom rd is one of the best rds there is, also from FMP! but it's exclusive, it comes with tons of weaons and neat hand gestures. He can do the "you're pretty good" pose.

>>5936090
At the expense of coming across as pedantic, I think you mean to say the Codarl-i because all codarls are "venoms"

>>5936036
It's also the closest to how Tomino originally envisioned the Gundam's color scheme.

>>5936431
NAh I meant Venom because they tend to list the red one specifically as the VENOM. I have no idea why.
>>5936481
It's more memorable with the colors to kids I imagine. But I do vastly prefer the whie colors myself and it makes more sense for the "white devil" nickname.

Ah gotcha. In-universe, the good guys' designation for the Codarls is "Venom." Just like OZ designated the operation meteor Gundams 01-05.

Weird that they're not showing off that the core fighter docks inside of the guntank, like that one promo poster showed. You'd think they'd be showing off that feature, however frivilous it may be. I guess it could be useful for pics where the top half has blasted off and the core fighters still attached.

There are always little info nuggets on the ANIME homepage, like this one for the FA Gundam

>Also missile at the time of the missile hatch opening and closing can be reproduced in a different part.

>>5937763
I mean, I guess?

waitin on my g-3 to mosey on in.

>>5939291
Mine's on it's way across the ocean as we speak. I don't know why I'm so excited for something that's essentially just a recolor of something I already have, but I am. What's the next release after this one? The Z'Gok in October?

>>5938221
I had no idea that you could display the leg missile hatches open with the missiles unfired, did you?

>>5939357
I didn't get the og gundam, so i'm doubly excited for mine. Will go well with my Char-dom.

I think the next figure is either the zgok or the gm.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51887193.html

I want an RD of this fucker.

>>5939925
Sadly they never made that GP-01 they showed off years ago and right now 0079 seems to be their focus.

>>5940149
Surprised we didn't get Anavel Gato's Rick dom since all they have to do is repaint Char's.

Damn, the Dougram sold out really fast on amiami

>>5940193
Not that I think we'll get it, but hold off on saying I'm surprised we didn't get X" in respects to ANIME stuff. They're not gonna put out to many of the same mold too quickly.

Case in point, I eagerly but patiently await the two Puru Qubeleys and the green grunt Botune.

>>5939925
>http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51887193.html
just get a Sazabi and snap off the helmet trident antena

>>5940319
Really glad I stayed up to get mine now. Given how little merch Dougram gets and how quick most of the Macross HMRs sold out I had a feeling this would happen. Also got the FA Gundam even though it'll probably just clearance like all the other ANIME figures...

>>5940319
http://hlj.com/product/bann11277 HLJ still has it up.

>>5940334
>Case in point, I eagerly but patiently await the two Puru Qubeleys and the green grunt Botune.

As much as I want those qubeleys, I can't say I'm eager. They're gonna be web shop exclusives and I'm getting real sick of paying the markup.

>>5940698
Many people skip this hi metal r release because it's not macross . I mean look , preorders are still open !

>>5940722
Yeah I ended up getting it on HLJ instead. Whats weird is Anime-Export doesn't have the Guntank. The only place I've been able to find it so far is Nippon Yasan.

>>5940977
Fair enough. Though I'll still get them regardless, but I will give getting exclusives does have the extra hassle.

>>5941233
That's not surprising. It's a web exclusive. Nippon Yasan and MyKombini would be the two obvious places to get it at.

>Not sure how clear/unclear that description is coming across, haha.
Perfectly clear! It doesn't sound that bad. I can see why some wouldn't like it, but it sounds like something I could easily look past. At this point I'll probably ask for Char's Zaku as a Christmas gift from my girlfriend! Heh.

On an unrelated note, I stumbled across pic related on Amazon today. I was so excited for this when they showed it like, 2 years ago at an event, so I'm really glad it's finally being released. I can't wait to use one with my SoC Gurren Lagann. This effect will make some great spiral energy to go around his giga drill!

Was scrollin' through /toy/, and noticed this thread. Are these things model kits, or actual figures?

>>5941984
They're figures.

>>5942017

So I did a bit of looking up some potential figures that interest me. Whats the difference between an ANIME figure and a regular one? Is it just a color scheme difference, or what?

Was thinking of picking up a Zaku and maybe an RX78 or something. How are the quality of these figures? Any notable problems in the line (ie: figma shit breaking easily, MoMo's with damaged parts out of the box, Daibadi stuff having shit QC, etc)?

>>5942072
The ANIME are the new ones and they're better in every way tpo the standard old ones, except maybe in durability.

>>5942072
ANIME are styled like the anime with kinda weird proportions

>>5942121
>>5942125

Are there ANIME Zaku's or only regular?

>>5941653
Anime-Export carries exclusives though

>>5942128
There are ANIME Zaku's. They're really good too.

>>5942128
The green one psopted above with the char zaku is the ANIME one. The orginal zaku is dumpy as fuck

>>5942131
Huh. Not familiar with Anime-Export, so I didn't realize.

Not sure, then.

>>5942412
I like using AE because of a certain trick that lets me pay for exclusives basically the day before release and still get them.

Speaking of, got the G-3 today. I'll post some pics a little later.

>>5943179
Oooh cool! I'll get a new thread up in a bit for ya to post in.
