>>22956373https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/22952986/#q22952986Why was the previous thread deleted?
>>22956400My guess is, the previous OP must have saged the last thread, and it struck the new thread. Now that I'm here, nobody has to make a new thread on my watch.

With Layzelber in Sworgrader, what are the chances of the other video game Braves (Zetta Gunber and Saber Varion) and GGG Final getting representation in the manga now?
https://twitter.com/WaffleTranslate/status/1861597368883314780Waffle will try to have the latest Sworgrader chapter translated by the end of the holiday weekend.
>>22956515GGG Final is already a guarantee, being the actual Great Brave of GaoGaiGar, but I really want Victorion in, considering its story is still part of Baan Gaan. Zettar Gunber might have its own story, though.

>>22958210https://x.com/tspark_official/status/1862693042903556608Kinda disappointed that Protect Shade and all the gadget tools are swap-in parts. I thought Toyrise was supposed to have everything integrated like Diaclone Reboot but I suppose it's closer to their TF Masterpiece. Though that doesn't make sense either with the massive Exkaiser redesign.

Enough with the fucking generals, guys.
Did that Might Gaine scrub ever get finished?
>>22962229Too late. I've got the RG GaoGaiGar and Goldy in my boxfort. Just waiting for the Japanese PM to allow me to build them.
>>22962441>>22956412I get why the Tokusatsu franchises have their own generals why does the Brave series need a general in particular?

>>22962504It doesn't, the previous format was fine.
>>22962504*but why does
>>22962416I hope so, if it means we'll get more art like this
>>22963372
>>22963387Is the the artwork illustrated by Satoshi Urushihara? Asking this because it's somewhat reminding me of his artstyle.
>>22963395I think it is. With Kimuura gone, I don't mind this type of fan art of this character being created.

Storytime of the latest Sworgrader chapter.
Latest chapter done.
>>22962546You want individual threads for each Brave show clogging up the board? Most questions or news is handled in a few posts, this general is best fro a large franchise.If that isn't a good enough answer, "why the fuck not" is an alternative..

>>22965755What is the toyrise lines selling point? I PO'd this because I want a playable GGGG (model kits and sentinels are display pieces) but I never ever bought anything from takara tomy before.
>>22965875It's Takara putting their toy knowledge and engineering into more adult-focused stuff, like their Masterpiece line for Transformers, but obviously more focused on being toys than display pieces.
>>22965879Thanks. I guess I'll keep my order than, 20k is steeper than i want but atleast I get a transforming gggg that doesnt make me not want to mess with it due to diecast joints.
>>22965755details herehttps://www.amazon.co.jp/o/ASIN/B0DPFH3QC1/>>22965879>>22965882This line's built more like mainline Transformers and Shinkalion than Masterpiece. It even uses the same 5mm peg joints so you can make your own custom configurations or have them hold weapons from those other lines.
I still feel they didn't go all-out with the toyetic aspect though because of the option parts in the bottom row. Or maybe there's some kind of storage compartment in Gadget Gao they haven't shown.
The Amazon listing doesn't mention the height but based on the 5mm hand holes, GaiGar seems around the size of OP here at 17cm, Genesic is probably 20~24cm?
>>22968412No second Bolting Driver and Galeoria Road... That's unfortunate. Maybe the RG could get those...

>>22971667Honestly, I wished that character would get more fan art done whether via artist or ai program.
Does anyone have the link to the YouTube channel that had compiled references of a given Brave series to previous ones? It'd been mentioned in this thread or maybe somewhere else on /m/ a while back. I think one I remember was the designs of the British Brave Police being borrowed from some earlier shows. Sorry if that's vague, if I remembered exactly what it was I wouldn't be asking about it. Have a non-AI Hinoki for your troubles.

I have a confession, everyone. I think I have a crush on Swan.
>>22993249I mean, who doesn't have a crush on Swan?
No-Armor MaidFighGar, or Brave Girl 2, will have a standalone release. While it's said she will come with joint parts compatible with all sorts of other Koto kits (or any kit if you put your thinking cap on), it's not shown here. Still, anyone might consider giving her Baan Gaan armor just to try out what she's capable of.https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054068470/

Man, that toyrise Genesic I'd kind of pricy for what it is. From pics, and the size, it looks like it would be about $100-120 since it looks like a "nicer" looking transformers, but 184 seems like way too much.

Some people should have Cross Frame Girl GaoFighGar at this rate, but there are literally zero video reviews of it. And I swear, someone will try and kitbash a Brave Girl with Great Baan Gaan, incomplete as that was without its weapons. If anyone has both and are able to combine the two like with past Koto Brave kits, let me know.

>>23036151And yet Webdiver was GGG done right.
>>23036444Is that what happened?To me it looks like Sunrise owned the rights and Takara was a sponsor that maintained some kind of exclusivity trademark on merchandising and tie-ins. And then all that happened was that the trademark expired and Bamco acquired Sunrise.

>>23062071>>23062098I really like the Ryu sister's individual forms, but I wish their "boobs" weren't so prominent in combined mode. I don't mind big titties on a female character, but with the combined modes, it's a bit gratuitous. I think picrel does the chest proportions more tastefully.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ygvwt-ad5o
>>23062208It's more like a breastplate if anything, especially compared how their "boobs" usually look. Tenryujin evencalls it her top during the final battle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD5XZGnzRSM
>>23062277That's true. Regardless, it strikes me as a bit much. The chestplate is just larger than I think looks good. Like I said, I don't even mind the design itself, I'd just make that one part a little smaller.

>>23067557>>23067795No, it always felt like Sunrise explicitly want only Bandai Spirits and Good Smile to make the best version of their Brave mecha. While I am thinking T-SPARK's Toyrise line should make Sworgrader for now, either of the former two could one-up them again.
>>23067557>>23067795Assuming I have the money and an eventual The Gattai Duke Fire gets made, should I be getting this or the SMP?
>>23068953Considering the SMP can't make Duke fully functional as both arms and a robot, wait for THE GATTAI or the Action Toys release.Also, terrible news. The RG GaoGaiGar will be reissued but from this point on, it will be P-Bandai exclusive.

>>23068960https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2476806/The official source.
>>23068960Honestly, I'm surprised the GaoGaiGar was retail in the first place when so many other new HGs of older shows (Dragonar, Xabungle, Dunbine, etc.) were P-Bandai
>>23070428MG Bilbine AFAIK is retail.
>>23071071They were old kits. So was the Dunbine, but I can't remember if we did get the Zwauth as an MG kit.
>>23070428Would be some real impressive shit if King J-Der, GaoFighGar, and Genesic end up getting retail kits.
>>23071076Doubt about that. Though I could imagine GaoFighGar and Genesic going retail (adding the Galeoria Road by default would be a bonus for Genesic), but King J-Der ends up P-Bandai as a shock. Oh, and if anyone will still ask for a Stealth Gao II, I have a feeling they will release it with the Kakuseijin Gaigo, since while the Stealth II was just upgrade parts for GaoGaiGar that easily break off every time it was used, it's necessary here with GaoGaiGo.
