Finally got around to opening up the Dodai. Dang, I am so glad anon enticed me to pick this up! A really excellent set; the Dodai itself is beautifully done (I love how the various swappable panels completely blend in and are securely attached, yet easy to remove when you want) and the accessories/effect parts are a sweet complement to the Gouf.

Terribly overcast all weekend though, so couldn't take decent shots.

>>6221228
>What are the chances I'd be able to put the 0 Gundam Full Armor's armor on the Roll Out Colors version?
I'm going to guess that the new one will be larger than the previous one, as that's been the trend for RDs, so it might be possible to put the armor on the previous one (albeit loosely). Pure speculation, though!

>>6221233
>I'd be okay with that so long as we got 08th ms team, stardust and the other gundams from IBO.

>No mention of 0080
Dang anon, you used to be cool... haha, but yeah, I could totally go for 08th Team and 0083 RDs.

>>6225394
Right, I forgot there were RDs of FMP. I'll have to look back into them once I've cleared all the anime, trying to make it "last" till new season.

>>6225663
I don't know. There might be an even bigger possibility of them in UU. UU has the gimmick of putting 2 of the same figure in a wave each one coming with different options parts. Leo would be perfect with a ground configuration and space type.

But the chances are still really low.

>>6225691
Nope

>>6225403
You're welcome :)

so who managed to preorted the rerelease of the 00 7 Sword Metal Build? can we expect an improvement in the actual body or something since it was the very first MB release? or only the addition of the extra sword/rifle thing?

>>6225962
>can we expect an improvement in the actual body or something
No. It's the exact same body as the original, but with the addition of the sword/rifle and some new markings giving Bandai an excuse to tack another 5000-6000 yen onto the pricetag.

This re-release is about as lazy as it gets.

>>6225962
the only improvement to be expected is tighter joints.

>>6226202
lets not forget this is a high demand reissue , just the fact that it's getting a reissue and that they're actually adding in the GN Sword II Blaster shows they are not as lazy as you say they are. Compare to the going rate of a Seven Sword, the price is well justifiable. It wasn't even that hard to preorder it, you just need to be ready before pre order time and you'll good to go.,

>>6226246
I fucked up expecting it show up in HLJ's catalog when preorders opened. Should have known to look elsewhere for a direct link but by then it was too late.

Still, you'd expect HLJ to show the product they were planning to sell ON THEIR WEBSITE instead of forcing customers to look for links BACK to the site.

>>6226274
no because the site crashes

>>6226285
And yet Amiami with their potato-tier website can handle the load?

>>6225729
Nah if they did it in UU it would just be one with the dober gun and one with the machine gun and maybe a shield. They don't try nearly that hard with this line; they made people buy two fucking z'goks just to get a different pair of hands.

>>6226295
amiami website crashed also.

the only one didn't crash was cdjapan because they freakin hided their Seven sword link. lol. and of course sold out when I found the link.

>>6226274
MB preorders in HLJ are gone in like 5 minutes at maximum
maybe they do it to avoid them selling out in seconds? I dunno, trying to preorder MB or the DX Macross chogokins in any other site is impossible

>>6226475
It's weird because I preordered Exia from the catalog last year without issue so I assumed it would be the same this time. Oh well, at least I got my Chinese KO as a substitute...

>>6226498
It's a pretty damn good substitute, I got one myself and love it. the joints and metals are nice and tight. Everything feels about right. The only thing that feels cheaper is the display stand, but still holds pretty solid and locked correctly.
all I really need is for them to release their GN weapons set (bunch of swords with GN sword 2 blaster)

Redpill Me on the RD Strike Noir. I have the old EMSIA, is that one still superior?

What are some good hero Gundams and good villain suits?

Woohoo, HLJ haul came in! Got a good chunk of mecha stuff in this shipment. Love that MSV boxart they've been rocking, and the VF-31J has a surprisingly premium-styled box compared to the relatively flimsy boxes used for past DX Chogokins.

Didn't have much time to mess around (and the sun was going down) so only opened up Jim as I figured he'd be the easiest to play with quickly. Not many surprises here, but a good solid, straightforward RD. Will pick up another one during a sale.

>>6226894
Can't help on the Strike Noir, but for some great RD hero/villain mobile suits (I'm guessing you mean like main protag/antagonists by that, and not just grunts?):

any of the Gundams from Wing vs. Epyon/Tallgeese

Full Action Unicorn vs. Sinanju/Banshee/Kshatriya

ANIME RX-78 vs. ANIME Gouf/Dom

Freedom vs. Providence/Justice

Nu vs. Sazabi (mixed opinions about this set, just noting it as an option)

Xi vs. Penelope (Marking Plus versions, of course!)

Ex-S vs. Mk-V Marking ver. (just going off the previous release of Mk-V, which was solid but not as nice looking)

For those who have RD Barbatos, is it possible to attach both mace handles together?

GEEZ WHAT A HAUL. Congrats on all the stuff man!

And good call opening the GM first for sake of ease. I actually just got my FA Gundam last night too, and without trying to send negative, it took a decent chunk of time to get all the armor on. Great figure though! I'm really impressed with how they handled the armor, and I hope this is a precursor to an Alex Gundam with Chobham armor in the not-too-distant future. Heh.

Full Armor Gundam Mk-II.

>>6226894
People generally take issue with the stylized face sculpt of the Strike Noir, but other than that it's a solid release (along with all the other newer SEED suits).

As for your second question it really depends on the series/designs you like (and availability). But just from my collection I can say my favourites are:
Gundam F91
Nu Gundam
Zaku II (Hardpoint ver.)
ANIME Full Armor RX78 Gundam
Unicorn & Banshee Gundams
Sinanju
Leo (or any of the Wing releases)
Cherudim Saga Gundam
ELS Qan[T]
Perfect Strike Gundam

To name a few.

>>6227373
Not OP, but half the fun in buying new stuff is showing it off to people. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Just got my Full Armor Gundam in the mail and I am blown away by how nice it is. The armor snaps on and stays on perfectly.

Also is it just me or does the Gundam "disassemble" more than the original ANIME RX-78? I can pop the upper arms right out of the shoulder and the whole head/neck block slides right out of the torso. Not loosely of course. It's actually kinda nice and makes putting some of the armor on easier. Do we know if this was intentional?

MB Astray Red Frame Kai and Tactical Arms II L option set are up, opening for pre-order on 3/10 and releasing in September.

http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000112976/
http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000112977/

The fact that they're releasing it as both an option set for people who already have the original release and as a standalone figure for people who don't already own the Red Astray gives me hope that they'll release the Blue Astray 2nd Revise as a standalone figure too.

>>6228032
>>6228827
And yet I still want the full armor 0 Gundam just as much.

The 2 "completely different" looks and just how it's the more subtle side of the coin to the RX-78 full armor, while also referencing it has me sold. Just love the "when worlds collide" feeling it gives off.

Seeing it in this video just made it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcVWCC4vs7U

I forget "you people" can be such perverts.

Well, a Gundam is still just one machine. Sometimes you just need all the guns you can handle.

>>6228904
oh so the Tactical arms can be purchased separately, nice

anyone here owns one of the GFF Metal Composite Unicorns? I noticed some of those are still available at some online stores but I wonder how is their quality compared to the MB line

>>6229538
They are the best looking Unicorn Gundams aesthetically. Not much diecast though, mainly in the legs.

>>6229538
>>6229606
Careful though, the prism coating one is apparently prone to yellowing easily, and badly.

>>6229606
>>6229635
I was thinking of getting the "final battle" version that comes with the green tone all over it

>>6228904
goddamn, enough with the astray shit already

I haven't bought an RD before. If I may ask, are the effect parts compatible among the newer releases?

>>6229681
>thinking they wouldn't milk a mold they already have to make some easy money

Hey guys, what's the best way to put on and remove the ANIME RX-78's beam saber blades? It's a suuuper tight fit and I'm real worried about the blades getting stuck and breaking...

>>6229894
Put them in but not all the way so in the event they do break you can still pull it out with pliers.

Thanks! Yeah, I can definitely see the armor taking some time to put on, heck just attaching the leg rockets to the Zaku II took me forever before I realized the right trick to do it. Gonna save that fun for the weekend, haha.

>>6227440
Yep, as >>6227441 said it's the FA Mk-II. Part of the Ka Signature sub-line and thus a web exclusive, unfortunately. Readily available on Mandarake, just a bit pricey.

Here he is without the armor attached.

>>6229694
Do you mean the effects included with the ANIME Gundam releases?

The effects are fully cross-compatible among ANIME releases. The effect attachment points (of which there are a couple, such as thruster points, weapon effect points, etc.) are universally sized so you can freely swap among the ANIME RDs, and in fact you're even encouraged to do so in the instructions.

As an example, the muzzle flash effect on the Zaku's cannon in the background is from Char's Zaku II.

The effect parts are generally not compatible with other RDs though, as they simply haven't been designed with the effect attachment points. Will be awesome if Bandai starts to design all their future RDs (not just ANIME releases) with this effect compatibility in mind, though!

>>6229917
You're gonna love that Full Armor Gundam man. 10/10 figure. The armor gimmick is flawless.

Oh, HLJ is running another seasonal sale. A few RDs included, but honestly nothing particularly exciting:

http://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SaleGroup=SPRINGSALE2017&DisplayMode=grid&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=SV9TAW09IJ&set=1&x=0&y=0&KeyWord=damashii&c=c

>>6229894
Get a good firm grip at the base of the saber and make sure you're pushing/pulling straight out/in. The plastic used for the beam sabers is actually relatively flexible and resistant to snapping so you don't need to be too worried about breaking it.

I once dropped a saber-wielding RD as I was taking it off a shelf and it land right on the saber. Instead of breaking off inside the hilt, the saber just bent at the little attachment area and I was able to easily bend it back into shape with no ill effects (used some hot water to heat up the bent area just to be safe before reshaping it, though).

Just keep your force even and straight as you work the saber blade and you should be fine!

>>6229930
Awesome, that's great to hear!

>>6229940
Man, when I first got my A.N.I.M.E. Gundam I posed him beside my White Dingo GM Sniper II similar to this, and I just love how good they look beside each other.

But yeah, >>6229930 is right. I haven't gotten around to taking a pic of mine yet, but the armor is practically flawless. A great addition to an already amazing base figure of the RX-78-2.

>>6229681
It's an accessory set you fucking autist

>>6229606
no stand for most of them, if you like standing pose they're for you

>>6229924
Thanks for the thorough run-down on it. Makes sense that they'd start with it being compatible among a sub-line. Well, there was already a lot of appeal for what I wanted even before considering effect-part compatibility so it's all good either way. Thanks again.

>>6230494
at least the "final Battle" version finally include a display stand and not just a display base.

Does anyone have the RD Kimaris?

How are the weight issues? Does the shoulder and torso sag?

>>6225663
Alas, I'm forever stuck with my Mobile Suits in Aciton! space leo lol

>>6231807

My shoulders don't sag, and the torso is very tight.

The only issue I have is that the lance is heavy as shit, and that the hands fall off the ball joints of you so much as glance at them wrong.

>>6229538
They're no Metal Builds, that's for sure. They look great, but true to their GFF heritage the only thing they're really good at is standing there and looking pretty.

>>6230494
They technically come with a stand, but it's really just to help them stand up straight.

>>6231980
So the arm doesn't sag with the lance one?

I guess that is why it is 60% off, same with Barbatos with the limited forward feet pivot.

Dammit, why does it have to be so big? Why does Bandai keep making jumbo size mobile suits when they're so much harder to sell than the regular sized ones...? I'll probably never see the Psyco MK-II go for a decent $ either...

>>6232522

Not the anon you replied to but I'm curious about the old XI RD--is it good? Dated?

>>6233421
It's the same thing with a mushy facesculpt and less paint. Oh and no missile pod.

Honestly the new one's finish looks much better but the old one isn't bad for the running cost if you just want the Xi.

And moving to a non-RD mecha toy, opened up the VF-31 and took it to gerwalk. Very pretty valk, excellent paint scheme and a nice matte finish. I really like the design of the 31's wings. Transformation was smooth and holds together solidly as well, quite an improvement over the YF-30 in that respect.

And a VF-19 Advance shot, just because I was dusting it off along with the 25G.

>>6235069
I had the YF-30 for a while but the metal hip swing bar on mine was so goddamn loose that the figure could barely pose, so I just sold it off.

>>6235087
everytime I look at the VF-19 Advance it shows that Bandai really went the extra mile on it by giving it tons of small tiny detail that you still don't find in the recent valks.

>>6235100
It is now worth 30-40k yen.

Back in 2015 before August, it was still 20-22k yen unopened.

>>6235164
I could go and buy it back at Macross World right now for $200 if I felt like it from others. I only sold it for around that price a couple months ago.

Meanwhile the VF-19 Advance price has never stopped going up.

>>6235115
>>6235174
The VF-19 is really nice, but It never satisfied that itch for Arcadia's, which I ended up buying. Bandai's is the better toy, but arcadia feels more right to me.

bandai makes a good Valk, but the preordering bullshit makes it hard for me to really go all-in.

I hear ya, if the Chronos didn't have such an attractive fighter mode I'd consider doing the same. Can't resist that delta wing though, haha. Also the fact that it has a proper nemesis valk in the Perceval makes it a keeper for me.

The VF-31 is pretty ace in that respect as well! Tampo printed detail all over the place, a lot of it very small subtle details that you don't immediately notice too.

Oh man, time really flies! Can't believe we're coming up on the Draken's release already (reminds me that Miria's Hi-Metal VF-1J is coming soon too!).

And grats on getting into DX Chogokins! I think you're gonna enjoy it! While we can't say for sure how the Draken is til folks start getting it in-hand, but with how well the VF-31 turned out I'm pretty confident in the Draken's awesomeness.

Please post your thoughts once you get it, as I'm interested to see what you think of the Draken as your first DX and I'm gonna be waiting for a little bit before shipping my Draken.

>>6237100
No way!!! That is awesome!!!

>>6237292
Still just listed as March, though if I did know the exact date I'm not sure I'd share, as I don't need more competition for the Mandarake scramble!

Haha, there are a few web-exclusives that have Mar. 31st listed as their release though, so maybe that's a good guess for Unit-2.

I have all the VF-25 moulds, 5 super packs and two armored packs. I double dipped on Ozma and Alto to display both.

I also have one VF-27, two YF-29s, one VF-171, VF-19Advanced, and have Keith and Messer on order.

>>6239187
The VF-31 didn't really do anything for me, and everything I've seen and heard of Delta doesn't appeal to me, but a transforming, diecast Saab delta-winged fighter was just too sexy to resist. They just announced the sword/shield, missile packs for the legs, and drones (they're LILLDRAKENS :3) and I'm reeeeally tempted to get in on those.

I hear ya, I was fortunate enough to start collecting DXs right around when Ozma was being reissued so I got him for a great price, but I had to pay the late-tax on the armor. Still, I got relatively lucky by "only" paying less than $200 (like $175 or so after shipping) for the armor.

>>6239586
>>6239588
I can't believe it's actually called Lil Draken, that's so adorable, haha. Thanks for the video link too, been looking forward to that. Never finished the series so I didn't get a good idea of how the Draken transforms. Some pretty unique elements there.

>>6239710
Haha, that's remarkably similar to my own DX collection, except for the extra Ozma/Alto (though, I did have a spare Alto at one point).

Do you think you'll eventually end up grabbing all the VF-31 molds? Kinda on the fence about that myself. I don't care as much about the Delta pilots as I did the Frontier ones, and I'm not a big fan of some of the color schemes (no black/yellow trim on the VF-31S breaks my heart, haha). Messer and Mirage are buys for me, but everyone else I may pass on.

I hear ya, though from what I watched of Delta, while there were some iffy bits, I really loved how the focus was on valk vs. valk combat.

And oh man, if you have any interest in the Draken's accessory pack, I highly suggest preordering as soon as you're able to. The web exclusive option parts for DX valks always jump in price on the secondary market after release, ESPECIALLY for main character valks. Just gets worse the longer after release, for example the super parts for Alto's YF-29 (which is a relatively small set of parts) now cost more than the valk itself, I believe.

Definitely grabbing the Draken set myself, the baby Drakens are too cute (love how they have landing gear!) and the sword is too awesome!

Without touching it up with paint? Of course not.
That's expected though. That art is dramatically lit.

>>6240714
I am not going to completionist with the VF-31 mould as I did with the VF-25 due to me liking the VF-25 Super/Armored Pack very much.

The VF-31 is not that good looking but I do like the ace rivalry of Messer and Keith. I may also get Mirage's VF-31 as i like the colour, but still on the fence on their space super packs.

Definitely getting normal Sv-262 and VF-31A.

>>6240736
I want an MSV Heavy Gundam next.

I dont think multiple units of the FA-78-1, so I won't be allowed to buy an extra one.

>>6241181
During the MSV era, scenarios with multiple Full Armor Gundams were written, but now it is regarded as an in universe urban legend, so it is only hypothetically canon.

>>6241178
sure, besides the paint I meant

there's no way the RD will have lines that sleek and sharp

>>6241185
>there's no way the RD will have lines that sleek and sharp
Maybe, maybe not, but that isn't always a bad thing. Most RD don't look like even the animated version come to life, not quite. It can still turn out great and perhaps be an unexpected and welcome 'new' look from the animation, as I've experienced with other figures.

It's called a Robeast. It acts like a killer robot, but actually it's piloted by a pile of goo called a Dalek. They took over the earth in this 80's cartoon called Mospeada, and the whole show is about how mankind fights the Daleks, but just when they are about to win back the earth, the humans and Daleks discover their mutual love of a super robot cartoon called Macross. Everyone's love of Macross reaches such heights with this revelation that the humans and the Daleks all turn into Tang and the planet is reborn with a new hybrid race that only communicates using lyrics from the song "My boyfriend is a pilot." It's huge in Japan. It's like their version of Star Plan.

Change the Full Cloth into the new mantle mode and it gets a little less annoying. And really, if you think the Full Cloth is bad you clearly haven't messed around with the regular ABC on the RD X1 Custom vFA. Fuck that thing.

X3 is the same thing with the main difference being a difference effect part on the tip of the Muramasa and the brand markers being replaced with I-Field Generators. Putting the I-Field effect parts on them is much less annoying than doing the same with the X1 FC's skull I Field generators.

It's really not worth it though; X3 has a real dearth of actual pose options. Anything it can do, the X1 FC can do with the bonus of not having an awful color scheme.

Ehhh... Could be fun as an RD, given how awesome some of the other ANIME designs have turned out. But not something I'll be clamoring for.

>>6246240
There isn't one figure/model kit where it actually does work. The design's impractical as fuck but it does look cool.

Myself I display it either without the backpack when the armor's on, or without the armor when the backpack's on. Stops things bumping into each other.

>>6247367
God. There's Zaku levels of remold potential with a Gelgoog. At a bare minimum you'd have normal and Char's variants, Hi-Mobility, Cannon, Desert type, and I guess you could result do the refitted ReGelg or whatever it was from the Zeta series at a bare minimum. Plus other individual ace variants.

Does anyone here own the Age RDs? I want to know what kind of joints are on the shoulders/arms that connect to the main body.

Basically, I want to know if the whole arm/shoulder pieces are compatible with other non-Age RDs. Please help! I have looked for pictures online but nothing has really answered my query.

The transformation is not really that hard, it's just time consuming. once you do it 2 times you should have no problems transforming it like it was nothing, it just take longer because you need to move pieces out of the way to engage a part and then move that piece back in place.

Which renewal are you looking for?

So my big question is how far off are the hardpoint RX-78 and Zaku II from the ANIME line? Does someone has a side by side of the two?

Well I found it, its more noticeable than I was hoping. It would feel really out of place next to my GM I was looking to get. Maybe he can fight my Dom for now until I decide to upgrade RX-78.

this is bullshit
if only the armored VF-25 didn't look as good as it does...

>>6248708
there is no official set scale even in their own specific series, they will make it nice and close. If it's have a set scale it will be mark as such.

In their series they will match nicely but will have no official scale set.

Are there any gogg msv variants? I wouldn't mind seeing this in the submarine colors the MSIA did.

There's a MSV but considering how unpopular the gogg is to begin with I'm not so sure they'll bother. This would need a hell of a lot of new parts compared to the zaku variants.

That's the official stance, but these days most Gundam stuff tends to hit around 1/144. This pic has the RD Freedom on the left and the HGCE Freedom on the right. And from personal experience, I know that RD DX, RD Impulse, RD G-Self and RD God are pretty much 1/144.

The main exception is the regular RD UC line, since the robot heights are big enough that 1/144 is just impractical. The main exceptions are the Katoki stuff (which is always 1/144) and as far as I know the ANIME line.

Now if only we got an astray robot spirits, I saw the murasame on tease but it's not the same, I can't afford metal builds and they don't scale with my RDs

It's scale-accurate. Late UC mobile suits were designed to be smaller and more compact. The F91 was the first Gundam to demonstrate this.

>>6249349
I know, but still
also, the transforming head looks cool

>>6249342

lol what is this an itty bitty head committee

also kind of sucks that the 00 stuff was the last time metal builds were "normal" and not super stylized

>>6249338

is that bare white plastic that's going to yellow in a week?

You mean the same white plastic literally all other Gundams are made out of? Just don't leave it near a window.

I'm actually pretty disappointed, MB was doing such a good job sticking to 1/100 up until now.

Can't make him too much of a manlet or the cost wouldn't be worth it.

>>6249382
What are you talking about? MB Exia was stylized to hell and back, the MG looks like it's been juicing in comparison.

00's the only MB that's ever stuck faithfully to the original design.

And before you comment, no, MB 00 sticking to the original design wasn't a good thing because it meant we got these god awful sword tips instead of the more regular shape all future redesigns would feature.

That's legitimately what the GN Sword II is supposed to look like.

All future versions of the 00 would taper it down a little because it really did just look awful.

>>6249559
The MB 00 7S/G should just be the original 7S with the GN Blaster II thrown in. So it should still have those sword tips, because the original 7S gave you parts to convert the thing to the regular 00.

>>6246284
Oh come ON. That's nowhere near worth the price they're asking. Jesus Bandai.

Considering the base price for a Figuart seems to hover around the 6k mark. I'm not surprised. It seems to have become the standard minimum price on most things that aren't model kits now.

>MB Exia was stylized to hell and back,

i dunno what you mean by "Stylized" but the later MBs like the Freedom have all these shapes and facets that weren't on the original design. kind of like a play arts kai

>>6249886
In the case of some of SEED's suits, the redesign is welcome since I never liked the anime versions of Destiny or Strike Freedom.

>>6249809
My complete inexperience with the source material, not Macross in general just Macross Delta, means I don't really mind the lack of the sword. If it wasn't for people asking about it I wouldn't even know it had one. The option set with the Lil' Drakens includes a sword and a solid shield, so hey.

Will probably sound odd, but would say the die-cast content in the Draken is lesser than the other DX Chogokins? After dealing with loose wobbly limbs on my VF-25S Ozma my interest in the line declined, like the Draken design; so kinda wanna give this figure a shot. If the figure isn't as reliant on die-cast joints.

The same thing everyone means when they say stylized: Exia's proportions were radically changed up for its MB incarnation. Ebikawa drew new lineart and made new gimmicks and everything, it's particularly obvious if you look at MB Avalanche Exia where he was allowed to go even further.

>>6239218
Wow, I couldn't believe it, Ozma is now 30k yen just for the fighter itself, and the armored parts are nowhere to be sold individually.

Luckily I bought it back in 2015 before the Delta boom for 16k yen and the armored pack for 16k.

Though, I paid Alto's armor for 27k and hhis fighter for 12-13k ish.

>>6250268
These guys are being scalped for as much as Saint Seiya Myth cloths now.

The ceiling is probably 40k yen for any Bandai product. But Strike Freedom is now 50k. I have two myself, but KO version might be coming out soon.

>>6250270
>Saint Seiya Myth cloths
is it still a thing?

checked this morning HLJ and it said the MB F91 was in stock
I immediately placed the order and right after that, the thing status became "discontinued" but I did get the order confirmation

Look at this glorious fucker... although it looks lik no poseable monoeye.

>>6250485
>>6250482

Oh shit I just noticed that the legs are floating shells on top of the body. Man I know this looks more anime accurate but the MSIA really just seems like a better take on this design.

>>6250482
I am surprised that it is 6000 yen, fearing that it would reach the 8000 yen mark like the Dunbine stuff.

>>6250521
6000 yen is cheap for that much volume, nowadays even skinny guys with no accessories like Barbatos is 6000 yen.

I don't have any other DX Chogokins, but there's not a whole lot of diecast in this thing. Just a few structural components like the swingbar that everything rotates around on and the lower hook that helps everything hold together. Others have been saying it's lacking in diecast compared to others as well. It doesn't seem to have diecast joints for its limbs or anything, but does have ratcheting knees. Its hips aren't ratcheting, but are also tight as all hell on their own without them.

I'd really prefer it if they just gave us the classic Byarlant already. These redesigns just ruin everything that made the original appealing by throwing superfluous crap on its back and making its limbs overly blocky in contrast with the rest of the body's sleek curves.

>>6250271
it is, but it one of those cases where they completely burned out

the latest releases are those horrid divine gold saints and bandai insists in shitting more gold saints at every opportunity instead of trying to make the few characters left from the movies or the silver saints

let's not mention that this line is one of the slowest so far and got even worse with those shitty DD mini toys

>>6250624
>>6250271

I would honestly buy like a set of heroes and a couple badguys in like, metallic colors (red, blue, green, etc.) or even in matte cartoon finishes.

When I look at Saint Seiya it's just like 100 gold figures that are different designs but still look like the same shit each month.

Lucky I missed out. Anyway, if you got the confirmation email then it should have secured your piece, but knowing some of HLJ's past shenanigans it can go either way.

I'd say you're probably good, but be prepared.

>>6250214
Exia seems to be one of those designs Bandai really struggles to get right. I suppose the often "fluid" way it's animated from episode to episode makes things difficult.

Personally, I think the RG is probably closest in proportion to how the suit should look (at least for my taste), though I do enjoy the over-the-top sleekness of the MB.

>>6251205
well, I'm still waiting for the payment request so I'm guessing the whole thing may had been an error of their system, but I know they send you an email that is the case and so far, I have received no kind of notification from HLJ

>>6251232
They're probably still allocating stock for each customer. As a latecomer, you're probably last in line to receive whatever they have left on hand, but with any luck they'll honor the order or track down more stock to do so (maybe I can get one too haha).

>>6250579
Agreed, and a Gaplant and Gabthley, too

>>6250528
Yeah kind of lame considering even the MSIA had moving fingers. But this does look a lot more cartoon accurate as a result.

They generally haven't "redone" any suits outside of the Crossbone. It's mostly repacks of existing stuff with a few extra parts (most of which were originally sold as web exclusives).

>>6251651
but is it bigger than the kyshatria?

>>6251747
Are you just ignoring all of the non-ANIME RDs or something?
