Looking forward to the GM Sniper, Marine Zaku, and that Metal Composite Wing is looking awfully tempting.

>Is the MB Blue Astray any good?
I really like mine! I love the color scheme and the accents of gold/yellow courtesy of the missile pods are a great contrast. Base MS is extremely solid and remains so even after you attach all the accessories; nothing fiddly or fragile feeling as everything attaches very securely with satisfying confirming clicks.

>>6346702
>How's the do dai ys?
Gonna concur with what >>6346725 said; it's extremely well done. If you're interested in a Dodai it's absolutely worth picking up.

>>6346725
>I'd strangle a man for an ANIME White Base as long as it's dodai quality
That would be amazing, even better if they made a Musai and Salamis!

I know it's not necessarily the accessory assortment people wanted to see with the MB Blue Frame, but what's here is executed very well. Excellent metallic finish and sharp, detailed paint apps (especially love how you can see each individual rocket in the bazooka magazines). You get doubles of nearly everything and it's possible to attach everything at once, if you want.

>>6348344
One interesting thing is that Blue Frame's (and Red Frame's) beam saber blades are actually shaped like a blade. I don't think you can really see it here, but if you look top-down at the blade, instead of being spherical it's diamond shaped. Pretty neat!

>>6348337
I think it is going to shelf warm for a few months.

There is already a more intricate Metal Build.

Not sure if they are doing Metal Robot Damashii Strike Freedom, it wasn't at the exhibit this time.

We should see some new 00 RDs, Metal Builds for the 10th anniversary.

Grats on the armor haul!

>>6347728
Gah, yet another reason to be jealous of Real Type Zaku owners, haha.

>>6348353
I think you may be right. It doesn't help that while the 00 looks good, it also somehow looks very plain, which makes it harder to justify that substantial price increase over a standard RD. Not saying that you necessarily gotta go full Katoki with every Metal魂 release, but more sculpted detail and maybe a few more tampos would have helped.

Why the fuck did we never get more Evas?

Hopefully the Gyan and Gelgoog. They seem to be intent on doing every MS from the original Gundam.

Gelgoog would be my guess as well. Recognizable and important MS from the original show with easy repaint options. Be nice if we get some mobile armors, though. Once the Big Zam is mass produced we'll put an end to the RD line! Wait...

>>6348640
Great shots, anon! You got some excellent angles with your pictures that I haven't seen anywhere else. Especially loved your shots of the Type Zero (I didn't realize it was going to come with the little red labors, had to do a double-check of the product page; so awesome!) and the Zaku Marine.

Thanks so much for sharing! Was there any special no-cameras-allowed area? Get any shots of the Macross stuff?

Any interest in GFFs?

Have a set:
Gundam/GM Ver Ka
F91/F90-II
GP01
Mudrock/G05
NT-1 Alex/G04
NT-1 Alex w/ Chobam armor (the NT-1 resculpt)

I'd prefer to sell them as a set for $220 + shipping, shipping separate since the boxes are huge if you want them. Not firm on price since most of them were out of stock on manda and have been for a while afaik, so I tried to set the price fairly based on ebay, amazon, manda prices. They're all 2nd hand afaik, picked up from ebay and Yahoo japan auctions but complete, and I'll double check before asking for payment.

I've realized I'm becoming something of a hoarder, just had these things sitting in another room for months now.

I'm happy HLJ isn't being cunts like AmiAmi but the fact morons still bought it up at AmiAmi for a higher price is unbelievable. Are people really this stupid? Do they just trust AmiAmi to be cheaper even when they blatantly aren't?

>>6348867
yes. there are a lot of people who got into amiami back in the days when they were the best and the cheapest, and just never changed what they did. they are oblivious to how much hlj has improved, or in some cases, just don't care--amiami is what they're used to, and they don't wanna change.

They should have based the design on Ebikawa's line art instead of the animation model. Heck, I think even the regular Robot Damashii has more sculpted details.

>>6348962
Right one looks like the Real Grade.

>>6348804
Probably. Maybe a 2 pack exclusive including the carrier.

>>6348918
The 00 Gundam had good articulation since its first HG kit. The design just lends itself well to a full range of motion

>>6348867
Sirbine is a very popular release. Preowneds were going for 10K.
Amiami knows this. And first and foremost, they are business.

>>6348872
I use amiami as my prefered choice for a few reasons. One of which is the points that I've been stockpiling.

>>6349333
>Amiami knows this. And first and foremost, they are business.
Oh fuck off. Don't try to justify what AmiAmi is doing by pulling the "it's just good business" card. They are blatantly abusing the good will and trust they built up over the years. People assume they have the lowest price and get taken by surprise when they learn the un-cancellable pre-order they put in with AmiAmi was actually way higher than the competition.

It has nothing to do with Sirbine being popular either because they are doing it with new releases like SHF Skull, A.G.P. Sonico and many figma to name a few examples. None of the competition is engaging in the kind of pricing shenanigans that AmiAmi is. You know what else those shops aren't doing? Charging full MSRP plus sales tax. It was bad enough to see prices rise on release but then they started raising them on pre-orders and now they are charging full MSRP plus sales tax.

AmiAmi isn't going to go out of business for a long time simply because the reputation they built up as the cheapest but they are a fucking dumpster fire. There is no point using them because it's a total gamble and some figure you want may end up costing so much more it wipes out any tiny few dollar savings you might have had going on other stuff you wanted in that same month. HLJ, Hobby Search, Otakumode, BBTS and Amazon are all better alternatives. I haven't used MyKombini but their prices are also better than AmiAmi these days.

>>6348867
>>6349391
Gee, it's like AmiAmi is one of the most popular domestic online retailers in this hobby for a certain country or something.

>>6348867

One thing I've learned is that Ami Ami is not always the cheapest but people still order things and pay more. Case in point, Figma Femto Deluxe from Berserk was @ $97 US on their site, it's was @ $85 US on NY. I paid 400 yen more in shipping on SAL than my friends did and got shipping with a tracking number. Mine came about 5/4, theirs was showing leaving Japan about 4/6 but no response since. AA doesn't offer tracking on SAL as far as I know. One friend's arrived finally on Friday. The other's still hasn't shown.

AA is NOT always the cheapest or best!

>>6349391
>You know what else those shops aren't doing? Charging full MSRP plus sales tax
Neither is amiami

>Price: 8424 yen

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017899&page=top
>Price: 7580 yen

No one is forcing you to order from amiami if you don't want to. You can continue to hate them all you want and take your money elsewhere.

But when you whine like that post, people are only going to think you are a faggot with a sense of entitlement.

>>6349391
>BBTS and Amazon are better alternatives


Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha


AaaaahhhahahahahahhaaHAHAAA

No.

>>6349391
>Otakumode
Lol no. Unless it's on sale it's always marked up and even TOM points are a big swindle because you reduce the TOM points you can earn by using them, so it's not a big boon. Even then unless you're buying items exclusively on sale you'd probably save the cash equivalent of TOM points by buying elsewhere. Not to mention the exorbitant shipping fees and the fact that they stock their inventory across the US and Japanese warehouses with no sense or consistency sometimes and you get bent over. They do have good customer service sometimes though.

HLJ and hobbysearch are usually great though.

>>6349455
Are you really this petty and pedantic? There are items on the site RIGHT NOW that are full MSRP plus sales tax. Figma Shielder was one such example, she went full MSRP plus sales tax months ago during the pre-order period. HLJ went full MSRP as well but was 500 yen cheaper on top of shipping being cheaper which is exactly my point. AmiAmi NEVER used to do this until the past 6 months.

>>6349480
For Bandai stuff? They absolutely are. Amazon often times has Bandai stuff cheaper than any import site, there are dozens of figures right now off the top of my head that are way cheaper by $20-30+. BBTS is good for standard Bluefin pricing and combining stuff into a big pile of loot if you happen to order a bunch of other locally distributed figures or western stuff.

>>6349493
I agree. Otakumode isn't as good as they used to be but if you get the right combination of sale, points boost and free shipping then it can work out well. I got figma Guyver IIF for the equivalent of like $35 shipped and I got a Nendo Kirby super cheap there as well. Recently ordered figma Zelda for like $26 shipped by using points I had in conjuction with a $10 off coupon and a $5 off bonus for signing up for premium. It's more situational with them but there are deals to be had.

HLJ is my go to shop for imports. BBTS is my go to for western toys, Kotobukiya statues and any Bandai stuff I missed on HLJ. Amazon is my go to shop for amazing deals via random sales for stuff I don't necessarily care about enough to pay full price. Otakumode is my secondary go to deal site focusing on imports Amazon doesn't carry.

>>6349583
The worst part about TOM is that they have shit stock, anything popular sells out quickly and the things that go on sale are mostly leftovers. If you're until scales I guess you might find a couple of nice deals on the latest, just because they're so expensive very few people buy them but unless you have like great coupons you can find better deals elsewhere from smaller anime focused stores. You still get fucked by like $20+ shipping so the TOM points you get for a $200 statue even out at best, so you're not really winning.

>>6349583
See, its hard to take you seriously because you really to come off as someone who thinks yourself entitled to these things.
Don't give them your business then if you hate them.

>>6349391
>People assume they have the lowest price

Only if they're stupid. You should always shop around if you want the lowest price.

>>6349480

>>Amazon

It depends. Most of the time there's a ton of Damashiis for the same price or cheaper than HLJ with free shipping. The Anime DOM is only like $45 bucks right now.

>>6349640
>See, its hard to take you seriously because you really to come off as someone who thinks yourself entitled to these things.
What are you even talking about? I don't feel i'm entitled to shit but that doesn't mean I won't educate people about AmiAmi pulling this scummy shit and how things are getting even worse lately. This is just another offense in a long line of offenses starting from the time when they separated the English and Japanese sites. Japan got exclusive sales, exclusive figures and different pricing on things. Yet despite all of this they still chose to add Japanese sales tax into the base price on the English site to make it seem like the discounts were 6% better than they were. It was all downhill from there.

You're trying to make it sound like I have an axe to grind and never liked them but I made hundreds of orders with them. I am angry precisely because I did like them and they were my go to shop until late 2016 when some of their bullshit went into full overdrive.

Amiami use to give nice preorder discounts, but they changed slowly and now they will even removed the preorder discount before the item release date. Some went straight up msrp on reopening after the first initial preorder sold out .
I think one of the reasons for this is due to all those people that preordered and then backed out, cancel, ignored payment , etc. which i assume is alot from their eng site.

Stupid question I guess but since it doesn't say P-Bandai anywhere on the display card can I assume this is going to be a standard release? Or is that particular bombshell usually dropped some time after the figure is announced? I could see myself getting this and the gm sniper.

>>6349654
You're comparing the price of a new figure with that same figure 2nd hand after it's been out for a while .. its not comparable. If it's a new release then you're gonna have to wait at least a month or so to get it from amazon domestically and by then you'll be able to easily find it much cheaper at places like mandarake. And you won't have to sign up for prime either.

>>6350534
Meant to say through a 3rd party.. not 2nd hand.. although it's kinda the same thing 2nd hand implies that it's been opened.

>>6350538
How is it remotely the same thing? A 3rd party amazon seller just means it's a smaller shop selling through the amazon storefront. Many of them have their own websites that go unused or were closed. Next you'll be saying buy from shops on ebay are like buying 2nd hand even though often they have better packing than amazon who just tosses your junk in a big box with an air cushion.

>>6350538
>>6350538
>>6350534

Literally every store is a "third party" unless you're ordering directly from P-Bandai. It's not like buying Bluefin imports are used. Also not everyone ships their HLJ orders the second new stuff comes in anyways.

>>6350534
>And you won't have to sign up for prime either.
you get free shipping regardless if it's over 35 bucks, and most RDs are, so your complaint is a non issue

it's not like HLJ gives you free shipping at all

Sell me on a Guncannon RD.

I have always liked the design, but I'm not sure I can get past the solid green visor... I wish they would've done it similarly to the GM's. As it is, it looks a little cheap comparatively.

>>6349847
is it wrong for me to say I liked the Revo Ingram better and that the Damashi Ingram turned me off to the whole line. It was just so over engineered in places that it wasn't fun

>>6350814
I agree. Not a fan of the RD Ingram. I was planning to get Unit 1 and 2 at least but after getting Unit 1 it put me off the entire line.

>>6350750
ANIME figures are slavishly devoted to the animation of 0079. If it looked that way in 0079, that's how the RD is going to look.

That's pretty much it, dude. Figure out if you want a stupidly, excessively animation accurate Guncannon or a more modern interpretation. You shouldn't be relying on others to convince you to spend your money in the first place.

>>6350814
>is it wrong for me to say I liked the Revo Ingram better and that the Damashi Ingram turned me off to the whole line. It was just so over engineered in places that it wasn't fun
Outside of being over engineered the RD felt cheap in ways it shouldn't have because of the nonsense RD typically pulls most of the time like unpainted unfinished looking weapons or parts. The light blue on the baton and arm extension piece were just so unattractive and reminded me of some cheap $5 toy. Don't even get me started on the shotgun being part of some webshop exclusive second release.

The Revo on the other hand came with 3 pistols (reloading, broken and normal), the two batons, shield and a shotgun. All of which were painted nicely and the reloading pistol even had individual cartridges painted. It was also much simpler and fun to pose around despite it's limitations.

With that said...i'm getting RD Zero because the coloration on the baton makes it look less cheap, same for the arm extension part. The coloration on the RD is also better in general because it's design has more areas of thick black and so the blue in the joints helps break it up. In the Revo it all bleeds together since they used a black undersuit/joint covering, it's not such an issue with Ingram 1 and 2 but it's a big issue on Zero. I'm undecided on some of the other releases though. I'd probably get a Griffon if they released it though.

>>6350991
Touché. Guess I'm just on tge fence and was looking for someone to give me a push.

My only point is that by what you said, the GM's visor should be similar to the Guncannon's, yet it's got more detail and a nicer finish.

Got my orange Zwarth today.
No difference from the other two Zwarth releases.

No, the question is, WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING YOU SO LONG TO GIVE ME THE GREEN GRUNT BOTUNES!

>>6351643
Same weight issues?

>>6350320
>>6350325

I still po'd them, they look fun.

So I got Robot Damashii Deathscythe Hell a few years back and was kind of underwhelmed with it being very difficult to pose without a stand of some sort and all the easy to pop off parts. That being said, the new A.N.M.E Zeon suits look amazing. Should I pick them up or are they more or less the same?

>>6351100
The Guncannon's great, go buy it. Make sure you get the first run bonus parts with it.

>>6351935
Nag, go to town on the ANIME releases. Deathscythe Hell is one of the more finnicky figures from the line, but most of that comes from his cloak/wings.

The ANIME RD's lack the kind of design elements that would create such issues. The only one I'd be wary of is Char's Zaku; the knee joints have a weird locking mechanism that makes posing them a little awkward, and the hip joints get loose really quick for some reason. But everything else from the ANIME line had been great.

>>6351939
Eh, I'll probably skip out on the bonus parts. They're cool but not for me. Thanks though, I'll probably get one eventually. Gonna grab a GM first.

>>6348430
I cannot believe that this line is so good that I'm actually buying a fucking Gogg.

>>6351935

Not the same.

At least buy the ANIME Dom. One of the best robot figures ever.

>>6352141
Yeah, the ones I was looking at was the Gouf, Zaku, and Dom. If I liked those ones I was probably going to go for the other Zeon suits, prototypes, and variations.

>>6352141
my beef with the Dom is how bland the weapons are and how little accessories there are for it.

and the half a gundam shield is a bullshit item if you intend to army build

no, for above stated reasons, also I'm pondering getting the Char's Dom but the beam bazooka is even more bland

The potential for a line that only does very recent shows that have robots that share a frame seems super limited. Like, they'll run out of properties that fit that almost immediately limited.

As much as I'm liking the idea of the pilot of this mech, and the history and design of the mech itself, a certain feeling I had about it proved to be true.
Just look up Earlcumber myanimelist if you want the lead, or even google the mech and look at images.

>>6353447
The series itself actually looks and sounds like it could be sweet, if not superb or terribly unique, as long as it's done right. It's almost like Monster Hunter with mechs from the little I've let myself see, among other things.

On another note
>taller than the Full Armor O Gundam
I was not expecting such a height from this line.

>>6353753
>Just look up Earlcumber myanimelist
Wait it's not even piloted by the cute trap protagonist?

What's even the point then? Shouldn't the first figures of the line be the actual protagonist's mecha?

>>6353767
Well, since you blew open the can of spoilers, let me scoop out some more: the red one is the protagonist's, while the white one is his teacher's.

I find it rather neat that MC goes for a more aggressive approach and that's not just my analysis, it's apparently the intention in the lore from what I skimmed. I just have a thing for shields and personally like the white one more.

MC's mech also has an interesting journey of its own, rather than just being a throwaway. Well, Earlcumber isn't thrown away either, but gets upgraded.

>>6353779
Well that's surprising. The color scheme of the red one doesn't match at all.

>>6354036
They are quite cool, my only problem is buying these early forms, especially with their simpler details, knowing they'll actually be upgraded.
The upgrades are so similar that it makes the initial ones almost worthless to buy, other than supporting the line.
That said, the upgrades are actually meaningful and awesome visually at the same time.

Tough to say if you ask me. There's a few others listed on there (Gouf Heavy Arms, Zaku Tank, Zaku Worker even) that haven't been revealed yet either. They could just be on the map for the sake of showing where certain units operated during the OYW.

What's some good stuff I missed out in the last few years? I want the FA RX-78-2, for sure. I want the G3 ANIME too if I could find it for a decent price. Did Wing Gundam or Shining Gundam come out good?

I wish they'd do an RD Gaplant and Messala but given how things are, I'm not surprised they'd be like 6000-7000 each.

>>6355439
The Messala is a huge MS. Its head height is 23m and then it has those huge thrusters

So how does pricing work for Robot Damashii? I noticed you can get the main Zeon suits for about $50 on Amazon but stuff like the Dom prototype is $100+ and only on specific figure sites.

>>6355654
The Dom prototype is a web exclusive, which is the reason for the discrepancy in price and availability. Basically, they're manufactured to pre-orders via a web orderform, with maybe some extras for customer service reasons, and that's it in most cases (a few get a second printing if the demand is extreme during ordering) so any you see now are on the secondary market.

Meanwhile most of the Zeonic normal mobilesuits were regular, wide releases available in large numbers at pretty much any store that wants to carry them.

Your eyes do not deceive you, haha. Blue Frame does indeed have a slightly different shade of white compared to Red Frame. My camera is exaggerating/distorting it, but Blue Frame's white has a slight hint of grey, which makes it a bit duller compared to Red Frame's super vibrant white. The way it looks in >>6348341 is closer to how it actually looks in-person.

I can definitely understand being bothered by the inconsistency, but the way I see it the various Wing suits and Astrays were each fighting in different places and being maintained by different crews, so having them be varying shades of white is believable in that sense. Conversely if the Ingrams were different shades of white, that would have driven me nuts, haha.

>>6361615
>Is there a special one I don't know about or is this it? 5k yen on manda:
Nope, that's it. I got mine for $30 shipped. But they aren't common at all on eBay. I saw the one for $300 and then about two weeks later some guy in Atlanta threw his collection up on eBay for a BIN of $30 with free shipping. Along with one of those Titan Test Team Galbaldy and Masarai sets for the same price. So I snatched both.

>>6361258
>Feels bad

Unfortunately some of the cooler things are almost impossible to find. I don't have all of the Universal Century EMSIA stuff yet but I almost have a complete regular UC MSIA collection (will likely never get many of the exclusives that were very small runs). The only two large items I need are the Psycho Gundam and the GP03. As far as regular figures I think I'm only missing a few from Zeta (Hyaku Shiki, Zeta Gundam, The O, Hambrabi, Gabthley and a few others, I have all the MK IIs, Rick Dias, Hi Zacks).

Of course I'm always grabbing extras of the grunt suits when I see them for a decent price.

>>6361615
What's the shipping normally like? Expensive?

Because they have some great prices on the MSIA, especially the older ones.

Nice. There's quite a few things I want to pick up that they have that isn't ever on eBay or Amazon.

Also for $8 a piece picking up Zaku II ver1 to repaint is totally worth it. I plan on trying to turn them into EFF color Zaku IIs from Stardust Memory.

>>6364511
Worth it? I dunno, depends on what you want to do with them. They can certainly look a lot better detailed up and covered in matte, but the truth is top coat scratches easily as shit. Personally I think if you want to treat your figures like models, you might as well just buy models.

You are correct. The only line that tries for 1/144 is the Ka Signature RD stuff, everything else just picks an approximate scale and tries to keep consistent within the line.

Though I will note that recently, a lot of regular Gundam RDs have been pretty close to 1/144.

As anon said, two weeks is the norm, but because SAL shipments ship on a space-available basis it can potentially take up to 60 days. In my experience (living in the US), the vast majority of my SAL packages arrive in two weeks. For the rare package that takes longer, you can usually attribute the delay to holidays and such affecting delivery schedules.

Oddly, all my fastest SAL deliveries have always occurred around the holiday season (my fastest took just 4 days in a December!). Probably due to the shipping companies kicking up capacity at those times to help with the influx of packages and getting lucky with how the planes were packed, heh.

>>6363537
If you want to order multiples items, try to make sure the items you're ordering are all at the same store. They'll combine them and it will save you on shipping. If you order from different stores, then you'll have to pay shipping from each store as >>6363836 said.

>>6365867
>decals are removable right? Panel lining not so much.
That depends on what you use to do the lining, though. For example if you use Gundam markers or something similar, you can have nice results that are also quite easy to remove with a q-tip plus rubbing alcohol should you choose to undo the lining.

Pretty mediocre prices after shipping. You can still find most of them for around the same price shipped in the US. And the store credit is fairly meager.

Yeah, there's some outright stinkers too (for example the Leprechaun on "sale" for 6800JPY, I got mine from an HLJ sale last year for 3200JPY!), but there's a couple solid deals in there, especially if you've already got stuff at HLJ awaiting shipment in Private Warehouse.

It so difficult to find this damned Blaster rifle and double buster sword for the Seven Sword Inspection fake Metal build. It has been released two months ago, but no ebay Chinese sellers has it yet. I had to order it from a Chinese store, now I hope it comes without any problems.
I like even the double shield sword. It's something that with the Bandai you can not do since they give you one.

>>6366104
I have such a weird bad relationship with RD Leprechaun. I wanted it so bad when it was first announced, then canceled my preorder cause I decided it cost too much. Over the years I saw it go on sale 3 times, each time for a progressively cheaper price, and and each time I passed. I should just buy the fucking thing next time a good sale happens. I don't know why I'm being like this.

Well....actually, maybe it's because every time I'm about to buy I remember my annoyance with getting the ab crunch to hold on my Dunbine RDs. Damn those huge backpacks.

I just think that a second Buster sword in the pack is a nice thing.

>>6366645
Don't worry, it may be cheaper if it flops as bad a the Barbatos, but then the problem with the Barbatos was just price, not quality.

>>6366322

My Leprechaun has no issues holding any pose. Most solid of all the Dunbine releases.

I think it's one of the best RD's. Up there with the Anime Dom.

I'm still waiting for a better sale to get a second one. My cat chewed up the sword a bit on the one I have now.

>>6367353

What does that even mean? If they're all 1/144 scale and its been stated that theyre supposed to be 1/144 how is that not an official scale?

Tax returns today, think I'll spend some of it on the Earlcumber. I do love my shields and ones that can hold primary weapons. I'm still baffled that it's taller than some of the regular RD releases.

It doesn't come out until September.

It looks like all the MSV anime releases being prioritised so far are those that had a 1/144 model kit in the early 1980s.

I am still hoping for a GM Light Armor. Not sure if we will get 100% new moulds like Guntank II and Psycommu Zaku.

I heard Zeonography figures are about 1/144, do they go well with Robot Damashii?

>>6368935
Except I don't remember the Gouf Test Prototype ever having a 1/144 kit.

So similar to MSIA? In that MSIA is generally about 1/162 scale but it's officially a Non Scale line and some of the figures and vehicles are a little bigger than scale or a little smaller than scale?

After the latest Knight's & Magic PV, well, really even noticing it exists after seeing the 15/30 second CMs, I think I'll get the red mech after all. It's really nice what a little sentimental value can do.

I was all over the Earlcumber because of that sweet aesthetic and shield-centric setup, but seeing the whole knights vs dragons concept applied to mechs makes me appreciate the dual-sword setup more (might even have to get an extra and paint it in For Honor's Warden colors).

All that said, it is a bit of a shame that Guyale's (nice name btw) swords don't become one bigger one, if only for the double-edge.

Got this stuff. Not sure if the scale is right for RD's but they look cool anyway so I figured what the hell, might as well for 20 bucks.

>>6372006
And when I say I'm not sure if the scale is right I'm talking about the magella tank and assault troop carrier, obviously not the Zaku.

>>6372006
Well, they won't be the right scale, cause HCM Pros are about 4" tall on average, but if you're not picky, the tank and carrier will probably look fine next to a RD.

Yeah I was lucky as fuck. It was literally the only one left.

>>6373284
Is there a way to carefully peel off the film?

>>6375255
It's only a problem a few seemed to have due to the protective plastic film being applied before the tampo had fully dried. The severity of the problem in reports was incredibly varied, and not absolute.

Yeah, I really think it's a problem you're either gonna have or you're not. Meaning that if you have the problem, then the tampos are probably screwed no matter how careful you are. If you don't have the problem, while it'd still be a good idea to peel off the plastic slowly, you're probably gonna be fine either way. Luckily had no issues with mine!

>Dom Tropen when...

>>6375737

As an RD? Probably never.

>>6375770

This is bandai we're talking about, they're going to pimp out these molds. I would expect a dom tropen or tropical/desert test type soon.

>>6375854
There's no mold to exploit unfortunately. The Dom Tropen looks completely different from the Dom, even the arms and hands. The Dom's hands has knuckle ridges, the Dom Tropen has those standard Zaku IIF2 hands.

>>6375854
Yeah, I hate to say it but Dom Tropen is probably a long shot unless they start doing a 0083 run.

Tropical Test Type is a possibility though, considering it's essentially a repaint of the Prototype Dom they already made in the MSV line.

>>6375983

>0083

Give Xamel plz

>>6375983
>>6375994

I could see them going in on 0083 during an anniversary or something. Drag out that GP-01 mold they showed off years ago, do Zaku II F2, Dom Tropen, maybe Xamel as a big ticket web exclusive, GP-01Fb, GP-02. Maybe just the GP-03 Stamen, not the whole Dendrobium Orchis. GM Custom and GM Cannon would be obvious too. The Gerbera Tetra, with maybe a GP-04 version web exclusive? Hell, they could use it as an excuse to do a Zaku 1 Warcrimes Ver. Do a Dra-C and recycle it as the Unicorn version too?

>>6375983
>>6375994
>>6376078
>>6375966

If ever there will be a DOM Tropen or a Xamel, these will be Ka Signature since those are Katoki designs. Xamel being the most likely candidate since there's no gunpla equivalent at the moment.

Because if it was smaller they would have to lower the price, and this F91 has cost a lot in design and gimmicks. If it were not for such hard joints it would be the best MB product so far.

Anyways 17 cm is fine. This way they can do a Nu Gundam with 21-22 cm and it would be fine near the F91. 00 is 18cm. Exia and Strike Freedom are 19cm.

The MB F91 should be around 15 cm tall. How is that "fine"? And how in the world would the Nu being its proper height next to an improperly sized F91 also be "fine"?
