Even the tiny Neo Zeong it comes with is excellent! I was expecting the Neo Zeong to be an un-detailed gummy thing, but in fact it's made of solid plastic with very sharp molding and paint apps.

And a shot of the bottom. The top/bottom hangar parts can be replaced with open hangar parts, and furthermore removing the bottom hangar piece reveals a Tamashii Stage port.

All in all a great rendition of the Rewloola, definitely worth grabbing the next time it goes on sale.

>>6435167

Awesome Saturn shots, Japan-anon. Not very familiar with the Saturn so I was kinda on the fence about him, but your shots have convinced me. Could you take some shots of the police car side-by-side with a command car? Just curious how they look together.

Thanks for the shot! Exactly what I was looking for. They really nailed the scale, honestly that dang police car is a huge reason I'm interested in the Saturn. I just love all the environmental extras they've been adding to the Patlabor releases, can't wait for the Tyrant and all his stuff.

Was there anything about the Saturn that surprised you or particularly stood out to you?

>>6438606
Isn't Nagano incredibly particular about licensing out FSS merchandise? Maybe Bandai is still working on convincing him they can do FSS designs justice with a mass-produced toy. Ya gotta have hope, anon!

Bruh like I said in the gunpla thread, it's a great fuckin toy. Go back and watch that YouTube video I linked, the engineering on it is ridiculous. Yeah, I wish they hadn't put diecast in the chest, but it's still an absurdly cool looking and expertly engineered toy.

So i love susanowos design.
Is the RD worth the 40ish usds used?
I might also picm up a brave because flags and variants are the best so i need opinions on these old as hell rds

>>6438770
The new Metal Build certainly resembles this styling a bit with the translucent breast plate.

>>6438847
Im pretty sure you can get it for cheaper than that. 00S2 mainline RDs were made in mass amounts, like MSiA scale and many of the stocks ended up clearing for 15 bucks in Japanese and other Asian markets.

A campaign is startimg next month where you can get an exclusive stand if you get an ANIME product from the 10th of August. Sweet, but also,

Zaku minelayer webshop exclusive confirmed for february 2018.

>>6438915
Thanks, any idea where i can find it for cheaper than 35?
Tbats the cheapest i see on and i dont know much sites to get these

>>6439161

>zaku minelayer

All of my prayers have been answered.

There's a Hi-Metal R two-piece set of Regults with both types of missile pack and a stand coming up for pre-order at the end of the month apparently. ~15k jpy.

>>6439161
I guess I'll get the RX-78-1 then, good thing I didn't already buy it (I've no RX-78). Well, the stand might not be worth having a cheaper price. Last but not least, thank you for the heads up.

Actually, one more thing: where's that sexy eco-ass? I know the colors are off, but it's still appealing.

>>6439217
>Regult
That'll go strangely well alongside figma Atlas, visually at least.

so what's the huge difference between these spirits and the mobile suit in action stuff?

>>6439602
Quality. RDs are a huge step up in detailing and articulation.

I was a gunpla-only person for years because the MSIA toys were so ugly and simple. RDs really turned me into a toy collector, before RDs I only bought gunpla.

>>6438847
That's funny, I recently ordered a Masurao from Mandarake to go with my Superbia GNX. I should have it within a week.

I was torn if I should get the Susanowo or the Masurao, and decided on the latter for the color scheme and beam katana and tachi.

You could check Mandarake, but if I remember right they weren't too much cheaper. In fact, here's a link:
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1067355444&ref=list
There's one for 3500 yen if you scroll down a bit, which converts to about $31 USD before shipping, which means you'd still spend around $40-$45 after the shipping costs.

>>6439161
In-store only? Would be cool if we can get it through online retailers too.

>>6439165
I think $35 may actually be around the lower end of pricing for Susanowo at this point. The cheapest one in stock at Mandarake is 3500JPY, which is less than $35 but after shipping you'll probably be paying around $40.

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1062451571&ref=dos

Towards the bottom you can see the Susanowos that sold and the prices range from 2500JPY to 4500JPY.

>>6439602
>>6439685 summed it up nicely in one word! To go into a bit more detail, MSIA height was around 3.75 inches (I think? I'm not sure where my MSIA are to compare) while RDs average around 5.5 inches. RDs are also generally made with a much more rigid, yet still very sturdy plastic, while MSIAs were made with a softer, rubbery PVC. This allows RDs much sharper sculpts and molded details than were possible for the MSIA line. Additionally, RDs are designed with range of motion in mind (especially nowadays), so their articulation is generally excellent. The leap in detail and articulation from MSIA to RD really can't be overstated enough.

MSIA still has a couple strong points, though. First, they're nigh indestructible thank to their soft PVC construction. RDs are designed to be messed around with and are not fragile by any means, but they are intended for adults so they can have parts that could break if you're not careful (antenna and things like that). Second, there's the price. Even now, you can pick up MSIA for fairly cheap second hand, while RDs are gonna run you $40-50 or more a pop. Lastly, MSIA has a much wider variety of mobile suits. RD is catching up and has stuff MSIA never had (ie Gundam Sentinel), but it still has a lot of gaps in its mobile suit representation coverage (for example there's nothing from 0083, and very very sparse representation from 08th Team and 0080, but the ANIME line makes me optimistic that these gaps will be filled), though this is offset by the fact that RD covers a much large variety of series.

If you have a mobile suit or mecha design you particularly love, and there's an RD of it, I heartily suggest giving the line a shot! While pricey, RDs strike an awesome balance of detail and playability that's unlike anything else. As someone who built gunpla and collected older Gundam toylines for years, the first RD I bought really blew me away. Seven years later and now I've got waaaay too many RDs, haha.

Nah just kidding. If I hadn't been scoping out Susanowo and Masurao prices awhile ago, I wouldn't have even posted. Heh.

If FSS ever gets licensed by some miracle, it would end up at least in something more high-end like Hi-Metal R or Metal Build or maybe even Soul of Chogokin. Can't imagine a tiny RD being able to squeeze in all the details.

>>6439695
It's web exclusive, so it shouldn't be hard to get your hands on.

>>6439685
I used to build kits too. Just stopped because they were a chore to make.
>>6439777
from what you're saying the new robo spirits are an improvement over msia. I was planning on selling my only 2 suits. oh well i guess i can give my old msias to my nephew to chomp on.

>>6439161
Minelayer, damn I already have 5 Green Zakus.

It looks like the campaign states shopfront only but we are unsure whether HLJ will honour it too.

The White Base deck and catapults are not relevant items.

>>6439993
Hope it happens in my life time.

I think it is a great time to be alive. ANIME and Hi-Metal being the definitive toys of 0079 and Macross.

with these franchises being 30-40 years old, they may stop doing these characters eventually.

But yes, ANIME line is the best One Year War toy line ever. Forget HG, MG, RG, GFF, HCM Pro, this is it for at least 10 years to come.

>>6439695
Damn, I have 4 Regults already and didn't know that the tampo marking was a number, now the 2 pack set comes with two other numbers.

>>6440405
I have a soft spot for the HCM Pros and I find them to still hold their own. Granted, some releases were better than others. For example, the CCA line is still the best. One thing I really like about this line is the intricate details they included for the figures, from working monoeyes to internal mechanisms, the HCM Pro feels premium in many ways others don't. Don't forget the beautiful paint apps to all those tiny details. It was a very ambitious line and I think that back then the burgeoning RD line took notice that sometimes less is more.

>>6440573
I still have my HCM Pros, but only the CCA line had a full cast. I didn't like how the OYW line was missing a lot of characters while the Zeta line was okay for the AEUG side.

>>6440573
same here, they went out of their way to make things happen. I mean, some of the suits can transform, the tiny Impulse gundam can split up to 3. they included effect parts. It was said to see it go.

So is it supposed to be that this is what Endless Waltz Zero was able to do during the show or something? Since during the OVA it lacked a shield and bird mode.

It's cool regardless, but I prefer the Proto-Zero design, myself.

Proto-Zero is Rad, unfortunatly the Zero Custom is the more iconic.

>>6441852
Alright soooo....if I cant make it to this event, how would I go about securing this? Is there any more reliable/definitive way than just "hoping it'll pop up on Mandarake?"

>>6440407

It's not a number. Maybe a squad designation, or a rank, or a simple label for what kind of pod it is. But it ain't a number, cause if that's how they do numbers, there ain't enough real estate on the whole mech to show the kinds of numbers they were produced in.

Oh my word. Don't get me wrong, the Hi-Res has this charm of an ancient suit repaired with modern sensibilities, but I didn't think we were getting the angelic neo-bird mode with the GFF too.

Also, SHIELD. Shields are my one and only (creative) fetish. I wonder if it'll have saber storage.

FA O Gundam, Atlas, P-Body, Lancelot, Gipsy Danger, Gipsy Avenger (hopefully Ecoas, Murasame and Huckebein)! I revel in this year of robot pre-orders.

Because there are few people interested in Inspection G Seven Sword. It's a variation from a novel, while people want the Blue Seven Sword of the anime.

It doesn't matter. Setsuna Gundam 00 is Blue and that is considered the main Gundam. The Seven Sword is just an extra equip which in fact can be detached to have the Normal or the 00 Raiser.
The Inspection G is a less popular variant. People do not even know its origin and only those who like this color scheme are interested.

>>6445176
cooool, I can see it's not just a repop with a new paint job and added decals: The camera on top of the head is different, and there are tany metallic panels in the skirt armor and legs.

>>6445548
>I said something wrong.
>You're wrong.
>It doesn't matter!!!

You're still wrong anyways. The Seven Sword setup isn't an either/or situation with the Raiser (only issue is what you mount on the GN drives, and you can just use the XN Raiser to get around that), it has new knees so you technically can't convert it to the regular 00, and the Inspection G colors aren't a real variant so much as it's just what colors a computer simulated version of the 007S/G had.

What I'm saying here is that if you're trying to sound informed, take the time to actually be informed.

>>6445162

>>6445176
>>6445766
>>6445767
Man, I wasn't interested in the original release, but I can't deny that the updated one looks fantastic. I'll still probably pass on it, but after looking at the review, it's hard to pass it up.

>>6445781

The new one looks fantastic but I kind of like the shade of blue on the original. At least there's one that matches the new Ex-S releases now, as well as the Barzam. Sucks that the Neros are now the odd ones out unless you want to apply all those stickers.

>>6445780
Seriously I do not know why you are acting like an asshole or why you are convinced that my intention was to undermine your authority, knowledge, or the size of your dick.

My point was simple. The Inspection G, with its different color, is not as popular as the blue 00. And if they sell it at a lower price than the Blue, for market laws, it means it did not sell much.

I did not try to be informed or to start a technical /m talk about 00 lore and setting. I was just giving my opinion on why it is sold at a lower price.

But oh, you're free to believe what you want.

The MC trans-arm is nice, (like every MC metal build they are great replica of the Bandai ones), but not everyone appreciates that color. I did not buy it only because I already have three 00 and a new one (the Seven Sword G bandai) is coming. I can say that i have an MC Inspection G and an MC Seven Sword. Both were good, with just some minor flaws.

Pic related. The left is the MC Seven Sword, the right is the Bandai 00 Raiser.

Jesus why does it feel like every toy I buy is like this now. There is no chance of this going up on the P-Bandai American store huh, even though it won't really be any cheaper.

Intersting that the Tamashii site is advertising Suzaku and Kallen's spinoff that starts this fall.

We might indeed be getting new KMF RDs, since it seems like its gonna be a Geass MSV thing.

>>6447147
But Lancelot and Guren seem to be the same.

>>6447157
Its not the sequel. Its something else that stars Suzaku and Kallen. Most likely a midquel set between season 1 and R2.

>>6447147
Guren is tempting me the more I look at it. It's one of those suits that gets more appealing the closer you look at it and appreciate its asymmetry.
Granted, Lancelot is the opposite, albeit to a less extreme degree, in that it's almost too flashy at first and then you get to really appreciate the functionality despite that.

00 QAN[T] is up, hurry!

Wow. Fucking wow.

I saw the preorder button and clicked on it, and then it crashed on me. Now preorders are closed for the metal build quanta.

Usually a sales representative will post the direct link on the product's mfc page.

The release month is still showing in their search index which means they technically still have spots open (if you can somehow get past the 'Order Stop' menu and place your order)...

With Qanta being release, Metal Build has almost every Setsuna Gundam except for XN Raiser and Quanta Full Saber.

We've had:

Exia
Exia Repair
Exia R2(From MB Exia+Exia Repair)
Exia R3(From MB Exia)
Exia Avalance
Exia Avalanche Dash

00 Gundam
00 Raiser
00 Seven Sword
00 Seven Sword/G

00 Quanta

So XN Raiser and Full Saber left.

I wouldn't be surprised if XN Raiser as a backpack gets released but it wouldn't be compatible with Seven Sword as 7S has unique knees.

650KB, 1042x781px

The Masurao is pretty great, age considering. The only issue was that the kneecaps were actually broken (explains the discount I got it at), but a little super glue and they're fine now.

>>6438847
Since this is practically the same as the Susanowo, I figure you'd like to hear some thoughts on it. So the articulation is alright. If you haven't had any experience with older RD's and their articulation, then this will feel slightly limited to you. The torso is probably the most limited, with barely any side-to-side turning or significant ab crunch available. The head is limited a good bit in it's vertical motion as well, but turns fine. Otherwise it's decent. A step above MSiA, but nowhere near the articulation of an A.N.I.M.E. Robot Damashii. The figure feels a bit fiddly too, so sometimes getting that perfect pose can be difficult. Especially because of the smaller feet, he falls over easily, so using a stand to prop him up will help a lot. Overall, if you like the design, you'll look past the minor flaws and still love the figure.

Another fun note about the Masurao, the one side of the shell has the two swords labeled as "Howard" and "Daryl." I thought that was a really nice touch and I wasn't expecting to find that!

I'll post some pics of the Gouf and Dodai later on!

>>6447757
MB is massively popular. And Bandai isn't going to put all of their manufacturing power into one high-end figure. Even hugely popular made-to-order items can reach production limits. Zwauth is on its third preorder.

Serious question I pre-ordered the Gypsy Avenger. Why is so cheap? Just to spite neca or this are sometimes this cheap?

Honestly no one really knows. It doesn't look any worse than your average RD. Hopefully they show off pictures of all the accessories soon.

>>6447799
I'm assuming it's just designed to be simpler thus easier to Mass produce and also it could be due to the sheer volume of figures they're going to produce making them cheaper too

Just a toy dealer venting about Metal Build stock allocation. Some are even putting disclaimers about not being able to fulfill preorders they've taken.

>>6447993
Seems like Bandai is deliberately limiting the supply seeing how they're drumming up the advertising. Honestly the quality of MB isn't better than metal robot or marking plus and it's like they don't have enough plastic or metal, so what's the deal?

>>6447993
They should probably make more than 5 then.

>>6448006
I guess it's too intricate and large for them to mass-produce, or maybe they are artificially trying to raise the price. Whatever it is, there is not enough supply to meet the demand.

>>6447971

Marking aside, to be honest I kind of like the lighter metallic blue of the one above.

>>6447968

Are these reissues? I honestly can't tell the difference anymore it seems like every month there is a new Max/Miriya and armor set for the VF-0 coming out.

>>6453168
Isn't Macross gunpla? I'm a TF pleb branching out so I know nothing about these terms. I still don't know the difference between SoC and SRC.

>>6453187
Gunpla means Gundam + Plamo
Plamo means plastic model
The Japanese love their portmanteaus.

So nothing in this thread is a plamo, and therefore not a gunpla. It's just figures and in here and most Robot Damashii stuff is Gundam with other properties getting some presence.

>>6453176
Its kinda like a reissue, but not since its under a different company name. Either way its better than buying the hella expensive yamato. Still not cheap tho

>>6453187
SoC is Soul of Chogokin. It's a larger scale, more "premium" brand of figures that use large amounts of diecast. Mostly super robot figures so far I think. Stuff like Mazinger, Getter, Gunbuster, etc.

SRC is Super Robot Chogokin. They're roughly RD sized (~5-6 inch) figures that use diecast in certain parts like the joints or lower body for a hefty feel. Mostly super robots like SoC, Mazinger, Getter, Brave series, etc.

Robot Damashii/Spirits is the all plastic line of action figures that mostly replaced Mobile Suits in Action (MSIA) and Offshoot. They're all-plastic, usually rigid ABS, and they're the most diverse and cheapest line.

Metal Robot is a subline of RD that's the same scale but with die cast joints and generally higher finish (paint, decals, sharper molding, etc.) and are more expensive. So far it's just the EX-S, Knight Gundam, metal frame Hi-Nu reissue, and EX-S (Alpha Taskforce colors).

Signature Ka is another subline of RD that refers to figures designed by Hajime Katoki, Bandai's most prolific and famous mecha designer for Gundam. It's all Gundam stuff and it's basically RD with a better finish like Metal Robot. IIRC The Metal Robot EX-S are also Signature Ka.

Hi-Metal R seems to be a line for smaller franchises (like Dougram, Xabungle), but so far mostly Macross. It's similar to Metal Robot in that it uses diecast parts. I think it's supposed to be a revival of an old line of figures, hence the R.

Metal Builds are larger scale diecast figures with high levels of finish (paint, decals, etc.). Sort of like Metal Robot but using a larger scale (7-8"). It's mostly 1/100 Gundams, but there was a Laevatein from FMP too.

See, I prefer my Gundams in 1/100 scale personally. Feels better in the hand to me, especially when they're full of metal.

I guess it's also because I have a bunch of Figuarts, and I don't really like the idea of my giant robot toys being roughly the same height as my human sized figures.

Where would be a good place to get this? I prefer to buy stuff domestically, but the only US place carrying it is Big Bad Toy Store, and their preorder is $180. There has to be a less expensive alternative.

Since you didn't preorder, even if you find it at another domestic store , the lowest will be around the $173 range. ,

Just realized the shoulders are different. The SDCC one might be incorrectly displayed as the RD? or is it some sort of proto based on an Avenger design that was changed?

>>6457248
Maybe the the shoulders are wrong on the wonfes one? They look kind of similar but placed in the wrong direction

Just got my first Damashii, a vanilla GM- my favorite mobile suit.
Are all RDs this fuckin' cool? I'm really loving all the articulation, it's really nice to fiddle with. I can pose it nearly any way I wish, and it feels great! The effect parts are also really cool and the option to switch between the wrist and grips on the shield is a feature I love.

>>6458112
>Are all RD's this cool?
Not quite. The A.N.I.M.E. sub-line tends to have the best engineering in the line so far, and most of those releases are generous with effect parts.

Other releases, especially the older ones, have less articulation in some areas and less accessories, usually not including any effect parts except the required beam sabers or the like. But to be honest, that doesn't make them bad figures, just a bit dated. The articulation is still usually great, just not A.N.I.M.E. great. And certain older releases still have some nifty accessories or effect parts, like the Kshatriya and it's funnel and thruster effects, or the Wing Gundam and its battle-damaged head.

Honestly, the best thing you can do for yourself if you're considering any RD is to check out a review online first to get an idea of what it comes with and how articulated it is.

>>6458112
I really recommend FA-78-1. The Full Armor Gundam IMO is the best version of the ANIME Gundam released, because you get everything the vanilla Gundam has but with the Full Armor option parts.

And I personally love the army green color scheme, though it might not be for everyone.

>>6458112
So far the RDs I have gotten from the Unicorn line have been great with articulation. I also have two RDs from Zeta and they have been great to pose as well. I too recently got into RDs within a years time.

>>6458623
The ability to switch between is lost on me. I'd rather have it in full armor most of the time as that's it main attraction. Rather have a RX-78-2 at the same time than limiting myself.

Managed to score the Mk. V marking plus on Mandarake at a reasonable price. The fucker casually appeared out of nowhere while I was searching for RDs.

>>6460314
Did you pick airmail or EMS abd to which continent?

I got one too but I think they ve misquoted my airmail price with the EMS price.

The marking plus was a bit underpriced given that the original retailed at 9k yen.

I think the expected marked up price from Bandai should have been 12800.

I need my juaggu, zogok and zaku minelayer fix.

>You got a deal on that

so far every one that's been on Mandarake has been $100 bucks

Is there any way to know when Nippon Yasan preorders expire? Sometimes they seem to "sell out" or become unavailable well before the actual P-Bandai deadline.

>>6460837
It came out a week ago and the MSRP from the Bandai online shop was 10800 yen

What's your guys opinions on the Byarlant Custom RD?

This looks to be a real robot take on Mazinger Z with tons of panel lines.

I personally don't think a Super Robot being stylised in the real direction works.

The ThreeZero Mazinger didn't work either.

>>6461308
Not entirely. Multiple parts are different for the sake of attaching the Full Armor, leading to more detailing in some areas. Other than that it's about the same, if not of better quality just due to updated creation processes.

You're joking right? I like the ANIME line and they did a nice job with the articulation but everyone single RG is like half the price of an ANIME figure and shits all over the entire line in engineering. That isn't even considering MGs, which is what ANIME is priced against at ~$50

>>6462441

This looks awesome it's like a Fewture release except it's not $350

>>6462419
Very nice! Thanks for the pics. I can't wait to get mine. It's nice to see the Zaku I Sniper in there, too!

Out of curiosity, do the individual missiles from the Zaku II's missile pods fit in the Zaku Cannon's missile launchers then too, of are they too loose? I was planning a certain setup to have both missile launchers with one missile firing piece and 1 missile poking out a tad, like the beginning of a barrage.

>>6462501
an MG or an RG has no where near the same range of movement as an ANIME

>>6462567
Are you talking about the unfired missile that sits inside the missile pod? I'll jave to check.

>>6462628
>>6462567
Yes it fits, it's not a snug connection but it will stay in there, good call anon.

>>6462197
One weird thing I discovered about the Zaku Cannon is the shoulder cannon has a little hole to incorporate a firing effect but the muzzle break prevents any firing effects from actually attaching. Not sure what that's about.

>>6462501

Even if that was true, and it's not, gunpla is made principally with styrene, while RD's are superior ABS.

The RX-78-2 v2.0's shoulder alone has more articulation than the RX-78-2 ANIME's upper body.

ABS and PS are almost identical in the range of properties. You can produce hard PS or softer, slightly flexible PS, and likewise you can produce hard ABS or softer ABS. The biggest difference between the two is what solvents will work on them as cements.

And most MGs use a harder ABS for the frames anyway and Bandai's typical PS for the exterior. They list the types of plastic used for each tree so you always know what type of plastic you'll be working with so you can use the right glue (or paint for that matter)

>>6462750
>RGs are not as durable and play friendly.
The frames are usually made of polypropylene with some ABS. Polypropylene is a softer but more abuse proof plastic so as long as you're not trying to snap it it won't. It's plenty durable, the problem is the armor pieces like to fall off because it's MG engineering fit into a 1/144 kit. Some are still playable though, like the Red Frame.

>>6462750
>MGs nowadays don't even use ABS frames.
Since like the V2. It's a very recent change and I have yet to hear of any problems. I'll find out when I get around to building my White Dingo GM Sniper IIs. But like I said before PS can be harder or softer. HIPS isn't the only kind of polystyrene, and it's a special blend in the first place.

>>6462429

>>6462795
Except they don't. The anime's butterfly joint has like 20 degrees of motion and it covers up the freaking vents with a randomly separated strip of chest. You could get the same thing with just a sparsely spaced balljoint, like on the revive HGUC. The MG RX-78-2 2.0 can pull both arms completely forward and aim in opposite directions matrix style. It's not prettiest, I agree, but its range of motion is unmatched. The same design lets the GM Sniper II actually pull off a crazy rifle aim pose that I doubt the GM Sniper Custom ANIME will recreate. The best balance between style and articulation I've seen is the RG Red Frame, which has a bunch of neat engineering, like the hip crunch/bend that lets the hips pull out for an ab crunch

>>6462808

The MG Gundam 2.0 is indeed awesome. But it's still neither as fun or as solid as the RD version. Can't pose as well as the RD either; certainly can't come close without armor bits popping loose. There are parts of the MG 2.0 sculpt that I prefer, but then also it was molded in white instead of the anime-esque greenish white.

>>6462429
