Don't care.I will NEVER buy a gbitch kit.I will NEVER buy a gcucks kit.I WILL buy more Wing kits.I WILL buy more Seed kits.I WILL buy more IBO kits.I WILL buy X kits (when I'm in the mood for it).
>>23495906do you have to spam this useless garbage post every thread
Imagine pooping so hard you died (but gunpla releated)

Hi /gpg/, come sit next to me and we can build your favourite UC kit.
>>23495926zased
>>23495927I'm not into koreans, sorry
>>23495926Deserved for being filthy illegal bootleggers with no loicense
>>23495926I'm just going to buy as many chang kits as I can now. Fuck Bangoy.
>>23495936Dude you heckin owned them
>>23495926on 1 hand, fuck chinks and their shitty greebleshitted bootlegson the other hand, fuck bandai and the entire farce that is ip rightsthere is no winner here
>>23495942Brother, I own many Bandai kits, and I enjoy them. But their plamo monopoly is gay and shit. Fuck you. Let chang cook.
>>23495926He doesn't actually think this will stop the chinese, does he?
this FAG is kinda ugly
>>23495959CUTE
>>23495959>glasses + severe expressionMy weakness...
>>23495959one of the few fags where the original frame arms looked way better
>>23495914Nah that is a full AB1 and it puts part of the weight forward onto the extendy bit.
>>23495959And you're extremely gay.
so I have the Kurofune not-EZ8 and it's a really cool kit and all but I almost feel like a huge asshole for not painting itlike this thing feels like it demands paintit's already white and has a near-full innerframe so I figure I only need to sand the armor a bit to make the paint stick real nicethe question is how do i paint it, what do i do with itI've also already painted the guns in blue because i was playing around with the dspiae markers so prolly something that fits that themenote I am meat gundam anon so i kinda want to make it fit with that line
>>23495989obviously you have no choice but to make Blue DEZtin-8
>>23495926moral of the story is to always keep your head down and your operation untraceable
Zero...
>>23495997
>>23496000
>>23495989bright yellow like a hazmat suit as part of a anit-meat task force
>>23495927Plamor is tempting me again... Why is the flesh so weak?
>>23495989it's time Titans Ez-8
>>23495934She’s jap, maybe thats your kink.
>>23496023She reminds me of Miki Matsubara
>>23495949*slow claps* thats my changslopper.
>>23496015Thats why you double dose on your lacquer intake so you forget your flesh.
>hlj killing backorders for goodThank god, it's so infustriating seeing kits be put of stock for years because they just go to some oldfags private warehouse that they forgot about or being stuck in the backorder 6+ month hell of you didn't pre order in the first hour.
>>23496026You have nothing to gain by being a Bandai white knight. Some chang kits even fix problems from the original Bandai kits and you also get more accessories. For example, the chink HG Gundam ground type fixed the shit waist connection from the original kit and you get extra saber effect parts with it, a curved one, waterslide decal sheet and a stand base. It's literally better than the original and I paid less than half the price for it. I'm not saying all chang kits are superior, but you're wasting money and getting less if you blindly buy Bandai only just to be loyal to the brand.
>>23496060Sorry not gonna fall for your shill tactics changslopper, I already feel great being a BandaiEnjoyer.
If I like the design and the assembly process isn't pants retarded, I will buy no matter the brand.
>>23496104Brave and Iconic.
I only buy Bandai because I like how gundams look and they're easy to put together.
>>23496023>>23496025>sheoh nonononononooooo
you know how bandai hates gaijinswell all the other plamo brands hate us even more and don't even sell abroad directly
is surugaya immune from tariffs somehow? i had an order arrive with DHL today and i never got any email or anything about having to pay the tariff
>>23496133Kotobukiya and Good Smile literally have US stores.
>>23496173not for much longer
>>23496136They probably marked it as a gift so the government workers wont go sticking their pig-dog snouts inside to sniff your package for truffles
where's my kino?
>>23496191Sometimes you have to make it yourself
>>23495989paint it so the knees don't look fucking stupid
>>23496203This is a day in the life of an USAGS employee
RE100: I'm alive, bitch!
>>23496271>P-BandaiLmao. Just get it over with Bandai, stop selling to retailers and sell everything through P-Bandai.
>>23495895just sticking on random bits of plastic and seeing how it goes. not really concerned with the result since this is just a sacrificial practice kit. drew in the two i added after taking the picture
>>23496282
>>23496271>>23496278>>23496280WHAT THE FUCK. IS THIS REAL CHAT?
>>23496281Go back to 2chan, Taro
>>23496271AwI wanted a RF Zaku instead
>>23496271Could have been an MG instead but small family company only makes a trillion dollars a year.
>>23496278
>>23496271YES YES YES IVE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONG
Strange to think Dennan Gei is like 13 meters tall in-universe. RE100 kit would be like what? Standard HG sized?
I should be able to pre-thin Mr Surfacer and keep it in a glass dropper bottle right? And the dropper should work for it thinned? Actually can I do it for lacquer varnishes also? It would be very convenient since you always thin to the same ratio.
>>23496271so RE/100 is still for UC and FM is AU.... I'm never trusting /gpg/ again
>>23496306we've been telling you that for ages...
Wake the fuck up, Bandai. You have a roadmap to fullfill.
>>23496313plese bandai-san 1/100 Xi please auuugghh
>>23496306Also the whole "MG MKV is a repurposed RE100" has been debunked and confirmed to be a schizoid theory. Total Sentinel win.
>>23496271I'm going to fucking cum.
>>23496313>he still thinks this is realLol
>>23496271>More short late UC kino is on the menu
I’m gonna to be going to Japan in December and they have the new bandai gundam model kits factory but they aren’t letting gaijins do tours
>>23496322I will laugh at you once they make Re100 Rig Contio
>>23496271Why was this coming out today instead of when they were having all their other announcements a few weeks ago
>>23496322It kinda is. Efreet Kai got a RE/100, GM Sniper II & Jegan got a MG. The rest don't have any 1/100 kits yet but they could very well be next. Xi will probably get a MG because of the movies
>>23496271Surprised the Gei got it before the Zon, but hopefully the Zon will get one too.Please, please, please make the Bergas.
>>23496329They only do retail announcements in groups. P-Bandai stuff is always random, once a month or so.
>>23496333Checked
>>23496313>gaia gundam>reborns gundam>leooh god oh fuck...
>>23496330>It's real, they only made one of the aforementioned robots but something else could also be made in a different grade 20 years from now!Come on guy.
>>23496330>Xi will probably get a MG because of the movieslmao
>>23496313You're illiterate.>next item under planningitem = singular>candidateimplication others will lose>we got efreet re/100promise fulfilled
>>23496343>He thinks Bandai is fluent in English
Be honest, /gpg/... Could you mog him?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_8RuDj8yYw
>>23496133yeah but i can buy every other company on hlj or other japanese stores, i have to use scalpers to buy from pbandai and that's where bandai puts all the good stuff from obscure 80s ips. bandai is worse
>>23496271holy kino, i'm paying my scalper for this for sure
>>23496133>well all the other plamo brands hate us even more and don't even sell abroad directlyThey do. Blame your retailers for being bunch of normie retards.
A madman is gonna sacrifice his MG Jegan to recreate this.
>>23496353my retailnigger prefers to buy them more expensive off ali and sell them for an arm
>>23496297Dennan Gei is ridiculously small so Bandai is not missing out on this one.
>>23496369Zondo Gei is the "ridiculously" small one, Den'an is just a normal downsized MS.
>>23496332I would like them to make Victory kits. I would kill for a Zolo kit.
>>23496271Holy shitit even has sub-elbow forearm rotationBandai, I kneel just kidding I know you skimped on the hand options you little fucking shits
>>23496371I'd love a Zolo, Zollidia and Zoloat. I like pretty much all the Victory designs honestly.Gengaozo is my beloved that will never ever get a kit, but if we're wishing I might as well.
>>23496122Prove it.>catpcha: J00RT
>>23496370>Den'an is just a normal downsized MS.Zondo is 10 meters tall. Denan is 13 meters tall. Yes it is that small.
>>2349637813.9. The F91 is 15.2.Rounding to 13 is losing an entire metre AKA almost the entire difference in height it actually has.
>>23495959>no reprint of the original Genbu ever everAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>23496271What's with the blue booties option parts?
>>23496271>>23496278>>23496280I screamed irl, I’m buying 12
>>23496271i have a resin recast of this in my backlogbut i'm still going to get this
It’s time.
>>23496391You're slowI already ejaculated to it twice
>>23496391CHANGBOOTLEG THIS AND MY MONEY IS YOURS
Why come they made this gei thing before the zon?
>>23496379>Rounding to 13 is losing an entire metreF91 is already in the ridiculously small teritory. You don't call something that is barely 14m tall to be "regular downscaled MS".
>>23496399When smallscale MS are often 14-16m, yeah, that is what I call it. The Zoloat is only a little bigger, same with the Javelin. The G-Cannon is barely bigger. A lot of grunts in F91 and V are sub-15m.
>>23496280Something feels a little off ..
>>23496409>Actually follows Okawara's proportionB-B-Based?
>>23496378>>23496409Does it? They made the legs fatter and removed the elongated waist, but that's also truer to the art.
>>23496313I hate RE/100's only because it's a lazy cop out for Bandai. Instead of taking a risk and potentially giving us good, new kits, they can just scream "lol, not a Gundam, won't sell" and shit out a 1/100 HGAt least this might inspire some chang to take the RE 1/100 and make their own MG, like Daban did with the Jagd Doga
>>23496409Head too largeTorso got 16:9'dFattened legsIt feels shorter, as if it got squished
>>23496416Kino
>>23496415At this point, i honestly don't care. I want these niche designs to have kits regardless of the line.
>>23496414No it’s something in the head. I think the eyes are supposed to be a little more sloped backwards from the snout, these are almost leant forward and it has like a little cartoon face instead of the gasmask look
>>23496415Personally I would rather pay cheaper prices for big HGs of 90% of MS than MG prices. I don't need an MG Den'an Gei, a giant HG is just fine. I just want the designs in modern molds.
>>23496424The new kit looks way meaner in the face than the lineart or the Robot Damashii. I would say the opposite. The RD looks very cartoonish while the deep brow of the RE100 and tighter face makes it look more menacing and less cartoony.
>>23496305Asking about this again before I waste a bottle of it.
>Get my 1/100 Den'an wish>Fucking P-Bandai exclusiveFuck this company good lord
But I don't want to spend money on more Piss Bandai fomo exclusives...
>>23496416Yeah the old kit has bad proportions
>>23496409The head looks more menacing while left looks like a goofy toy.
>>23496425>I would rather pay cheaper prices for big HGs of 90% of MS>kit is a P-Bandai ExclusiveYou're going to pay MG prices, anon
>New kit is lineart accurate>r/gpg has to pretend the old ugly kit is better because it's old
>>234964383300 yenMG F80: 5280 yenno anon, I will be paying RE100 prices, not MG prices.
>>23496440That isn't the old kit it was compared to there. That was the Robot Damashii.
>>23496424> I think the eyes are supposed to be a little more sloped backwards from the snout, these are almost leant forward and it has like a little cartoon face instead of the gasmask lookNo the new kit got it right. It is supposed to look like a goggle, not dog-like eyes.
>>23496444Oh my bad>r/gpg has to pretend the old ugly toy is better because it's old
GOOOD LORD IS THAT A KIT THAT I'VE BEEN WISHING FOR? WTF WHY IS IT PBANDAI AND WHY CAN'T I AFFORD IT. JESUS CHRIST BANDAI.
These crossbone guys from f91 will never not look more like guys in suits rather than giant robots.
>>23496447Robot Damashiis look quite good and that one does too, if a bit elongated for my tastes.How about you just stop shitposting and share your own actual thoughts (or not post at all) instead of trying to twist everything into a meme
>>23496451>How about you just stop shitposting and share your own actual thoughtsI did share them moron, the new kit looks way better because it's lineart accurate and doesn't look like an obese dog.
>>23496369>missing outI don't know what you mean by this.
>>23496451Fucking Robot Damashii. Why are they doing figures instead of model kits.
>>23496445>not dog-likeBut the kit looks like a french bulldog
>>23496453so it's just a craving for attention then, gotcha
>>23496455It is not worth making a complex MG innerframe for a 14cm tall kit?
>>23496459Are you blind anon?
>>23496453The 'obese dog' is the model kit, Anon
Why not just admit you fucked up being a contrarian already? Kit looks very good.
>>23496458just paint the figure bro
>>23496459>Not even similar angleCmon now
>>23496458More people buy figures than models. Modelling is a hobby that takes time, buying a figure is swiping a credit card.
Common Okawara W
>>23496480Mecha figures are less accessible. Unless you want to blow 500 bucks on a 15cm tall toy, it is more ideal to just spend 60 on a snapfit kit.
>>23496480Buying chang kits is like swiping your card, building bootleg isn't even a hobby.
Kind of fucked up to actually see a grail kit of mine released. Fuck you Bandai.
>>23496489What do you mean? Modelling isn't accessible unless you want to blow $700 on the PGU Nu.
>>23496472They are not even the same.
>>23496467Bandai only makes MG's of Gundams, and Zaku II recolors anymore. They don't take risks like they used to pre-merger where they made MG's of the Guntank, G-Armor, and nearly every OYW mobile suit. The MG Ball wouldn't be made now if it wasn't made back in 2004
>>23496498>Buying PG shitYou reap what you sow
>>23496492Are these 'Bootlegs' in the room with us, schizo-kun?
>>23496498>unless you want to blow $700 on the PGU Nu.Why yes I will blow $700 on a PGU Nu, how can you tell?
>>23496506Well I figure if you're going to compare a high end action figure you should probably do the same to a model kitsince most RDs are around 7000~9000 yen, more expensive than gunpla but not by hundreds of dollars
Will we get a water slide for the crossbones emblem if it’s P-Bandai?
>>23496511Don't forget the tariff tip, bro.
>>23496271
>>23496510Who are you talking to schizo-chan?
>>23496514Bro your Delpi and G-Rework decals?
>>23496515Japan will pay it, not me.
>>23496515I have a friend-o in Japan so no problem.
>>23496514Probably.
>>23496518(me)To me, the only poster on this site
>>23496513>compare a high end action figurePffttt hahahaha
>>23496534yes
>>23496467As opposed to F90 and its million variants, F91, F80, Victory, Victory 2?
>Looks like a blob in matte topcoat>Toytards paid their entire year of salary for this shit
>>23496501>The MG Ball wouldn't be made now if it wasn't made back in 2004Worse yet, the cock suckers that inhabit these threads and the other site would probably be against it being made.
>>23496546well see that one's 15cmthat's the cutoff for some reason, 15cmnot worth it beneath that because anon said so
>>23496546You are comparing Gundam and Gundam-lookalike to a literall-who grunt.
>>23496534Do not defile my eyes with metal-slop.
>>23496501>Risks>MSG mobile suitsyour caretaker needs to put you in timeout
>>23496558>literall-who gruntOh, you're just 12 years old and shitposting. Gotcha.
>>23496534>>23496549God I fucking hate Bandai's prepainted shit it always looks so bad. I think GSC makes decent stuff because they have Vietnamese factory workers do it by hand but Bandai uses shitty assembly line machines that always do the sloppiest work
>>23496552Bullshit. /gpg/ loves their Balls, they wouldn't be against it
>>23496569I actually had a misfortune to look at action figure version of Ez8 and it looked like something Chris Chan would create. And it is actually the most expensive product in that hobby store.
>>23496572I should get a MG Ball Ver. Ka. Such a nice thing to have a Ball on display.
>>23495926>Bandai killed a better alternatives[Sad News]
Bandaihaters gtfo, this is a Bandailovers thread.
>>23496554The Ball is 12.8m
>>23496577I like Bandai but I strongly prefer Volks
>>23496578You are downplaying its volume and mass.
Can't believe they released a RE100 to distract from the fact Bolt Gundam is suffering
I can't believe they released a RE/100 to distract from the fact that next year's Ver Ka. is being dedicated to a kit that's been released piecemeal in three different kits.
>>23496305>>23496430Just buy one of those PET paint mixer bottles.
>>23496384They’re the equivalent of rubber treads on a tank so they don’t tear up the pavement on parade. If you check that scene in the movie they all have them on.
>>23496615Man it looks great.
>>23496615>mfw I'm upset but I'll buy it
>>23496271is this p-bandai shit?
>>23496623It's a cool kit people are excited for, so what do you think?
>>23496623
>>23496313I need 1/100 Reborns and Susanowo so bad...
>>23496623>he doesn't know
>>23496623It's a niche kit that normies won't care about but hardcore UC fans will drool for, so what do you think?
>>23496642>normies
I'm too poor for this hobby so I watch 1st person POV livebuild streams just so I can pretend I'm the one building the kit.
Dunno dont care wont buy your changslop.
>>23496628>>23496632>>23496637>>23496641>>23496642GOOD MORNING, I HATE BANDAI.CHINA I NEED YOUR HELP.
>>23496647Is this what I need to do to quit my 9-5 and make money? POV gunpla building next to my I don't have a problem wall of gunpla?
>>23496647Just stop paying your ISPThere, now you have money to buy model kits :)
Wow I'm interested in MGSD now!
>>23496642F91 is secretly normiebait because it sucks, but it sucks in a unique way and has a story for why it sucks so normie fall for the "Oh but imagine if F91 got a full TV series it would have been so good!"
>>23496655I earn $200 a month. national average.
>>23496660Are you on fucking SSI or something? Even when I worked the most debasing shitty retail job you could imagine I was pulling $600 a month minimum.
>>23496664I'm a 3rd worlder, kind saar.
>>23496665Oh my bad.
>R3 is alive>RE 100 is aliveWhat's next? B club revival?
>>23496659all gundam spin-off/side story manga sucks except for the 30 year old OL Haman Karn. but that's impossible to adapt despite the popularity because of muh "respecting legacy seiyuu who can't work anymore and we can't replace them" bullshit
>>23496271still hope for RE/100 Heavygun.
>>23496659F91 has 3 incredibly strong sequences at the beginning and end, and the stuff in the middle is not so bad it's just far-too-fast paced dialogue scenes. Iron mask is also unintentionally hilarious without being frustrating or nonsensical. The mech design is also 10/10. It's a quality production even without considering the extreme limitations set on them.
Okay so literally nobody expected a fucking RE/100 revival right? What's the next most ridiculous thing Bandai could do?
>>23496673tons of FM Witch from Mercury kits the same way they did IBO, and then make MG of the top-selling ones (most likely Aerial, Aerial Rebuild, Schwarzette and Calibarn)
>>23496673Releasing their kits as retail
>>23496675>MG SchwarzettePlease don't make me imagine.
>>23496673NG revival. And HGUC Queen Mansa.
>>23496668>B club revivalIf they made resin conversion kits again I'd enjoy reading all the comments from people questioning why they are suddenly ill and all the drill related injuries
>>23496673>Revivalrelax, it's a singular kit.
>>23496677check again in 5-10 years
I hope they say fuck it and just reuse most of the mold for a Den'an Zon RE/100.
>>23496680>only 1/144Where is your ambition, boy
>>23496684>check again in 5-10 yearsLast time I made this mistake the Zaku 1 I bought in 2013 ballooned in price 300%, most of the MG kits were out of print or are hard to find and P-Bandai happened
>>23495895Started panel lining the HIV Gundam. I'm debating building up some areas with plate to give it a little more depth.
>>23496699There has to be a reason why sunrise put this into Keroro. There was also another MG in Keroro universe that doesn't exist IRL but I forgot what it was.
How long has it been since they’ve skipped a year with a Z/ZZ HG release.
>>23496706gm sniper custom ver ka iircwe did eventually get a regular non ver ka mg release of it, by the way can bandai reprint that fucking thing already.
>>23496711I think there was something else. I have a screenshot of it somewhere but hell if I'm looking for that right now.
first custom paint job
>>23496676Get the fuck out of here.
>>23496723>>23496726Nice.
First metallic paint airbrushing turned out pretty good outside of it being a bit light on the backpack piece that I noticed after cleaning everything up.
it felt very liberating to finally be good enough at japanese to be free from tranny goykotsu and zakusnorelius
It's very liberating to never have been retarded enough to have to watch model kit reviewers.
>>23496793eop cope
>>23496796Shut up sloptube watcher your opinions dont mean shit
>>23496796I'm not even an EOP.
>watching youtubers reviewing modelsI sleep>paying a low tier onlyfans girl to film herself reviewing a kit you mailed to her, based off a script you wrote Real shit
>>23496800Brown behaviourDo not do this
>>23496797>>23496799this is the plastic model thread, i suggest you keep it on topic
>>23496800That is beyond simping. You are combining plastic crack, parasocial relationship, and simping. I bet you reconsider.
>>23496800What's crazy is that's actually based as fuck.
>>23496774same, but based chinks like RAYSTUDIO
>Re100 got brand new mold>MG ver Ka is reusing existing molds for the sake of budget cut.What a time to be alive.
>>23495949>But their plamo monopoly is gay and shitHerro, fat chinese shill here. You can support battle with goydai monopoly by buying awesome third party kits like Buck from Sheik Mainland. Only $12 for international audience. Or $5 for us, citizens of glorious Chinese Empire.>>23496647Just buy bootlegs. Like you need to be buck broken, to not have 4.7 bucks for any GTO Zaku(wateslides included), 6.5 for Turn A with wings, 9.99 for gouf custom(resin fly pack kit redone in plastic + waterslides included) or 8.46 for hyaku shiki (champagne gold). With free shipping!
>>23496905This line is very good, they have the durability of Robot Damashii action figures, can't compare with fragile model kits
Berga Balus will come out when MG RX-F91 is ready.Bandai prioritises characters with retool and recolor potential.
Zamn, he is huge. Imagine Odysseus in 1/100 scale.
i will now consider buying a mkv
>>23496952If they made a MG Xi or Penelope it would be the largest MG kits outside of like the Perfect Zeong and the Deep Striker/S-Gundam Booster Type
>>23496964this means it's 100% going to be p-bandai and cost $300
>>23496964Would there even be any hidden UC crap they could pull out that would be bigger in 1/100 than the Xi?Let's not get too retarded and limit it to stuff that mostly looks like a Gundam.
why don't we have a 30MM armored core VI head bringer yet
which Huckebein model is best?
I regret to inform you that I will be unable to finish my groupbuild in time due to Silksong. Extension please.
>>23496968To surpass it you have to go to the Psyco Gundam lineage.
>>23496980Damn, not only are you right but I can't believe I forgot about the Psycos.
>>23496271I mean, Gundam Lindwurm wasn't that long ago.
If 00 is so popular then where the hell is RG Reborns?
>>23496964RE100 Nightinghale is up there. Not the tallest but it has a ridiculously huge volume. MG Penelope would be like this, but also taller, too.
>>23496001I have that and the Megaman Zero eastern model. Wish they would do the guardians too.
>>23496982Lindwurm was not really a new mold. It was a recolored Re100 Bawoo with some new parts. Justified since it is from Build Fighters, but still not something to be celebrated about.
Just slapped together my first 30MM kit
Alphonse!
>>23496967>$300add in shipping + tax + tariff and it becomes close to $1000
>>23497004>tarifflol you're still falling for it
Thoughts on the Chinese Stargazer recolor?
>>23496271Fuck I really wanted to avoid 1/100 scale kits but Bandai is gonna make me get into them with this huh? At least it's smaller. I guess they are never gonna do smaller scale kits on 1/144 again
>>23497015I hate SEEDslop.
>>23497015I don't care about 1/100 kits.
>>23497016This thing is like 14cm tall at best. It would look like your typical Zeta era HG.
what would I look up to find a cheap version of this tool to try it out.
>>23496271>just found out about it>already sold out
>>23496996Cute.
how fast do these things usually sell out?
>>23497059seconds if it's very popular or sought out
>>23497059>3,300 yenwhelp, that'd be 13,300 yen when it comes to my country
>>23497007orange man doesn't lie
>>23496673reviving MG for other mecha shows other than Gundam line.yes R3 exists but out of all their releases, only L-Gaim MkII has an inner frame (even Billbine has no inner frame)
>>23497114MG of some of them L-Gaims would be pretty nice.
>>23497114MG Nirvsah neo and Devilfish
>only $47God damn what a deal
people bitch and moan about the mgsd, but I've never seen one of these kits being sold for a reasonable price with stock outside of bootlegsinteresting
>>23497015I already have the original, and I'm considering getting this one too.
>>23497129they don't provide the cheap as chips ground postage anymore :'(
>>23497015Looks pretty good, but I presume the metallic dark blue bits are something you have to paint yourself?
>>23497078Damn anon I know it's been touched upon before but is there a specific reason that pb does this in general? Have they ever explained why they specifically only released certain units for pb in Japan? I get hobby exclusives but does it really change anything in the sales that they would get? It's not like they release these things specifically through pb overseas. For example a lot of the premium bandai stuff even for China doesn't get released there either and that's probably their second biggest market.t. gunpla newfag
>>23497001For me it's always the TV Colours.
>>23497151they sell more niche designs that might not sell as wellusing a preorder method helps them more accurately allocate production capacity to make the quantity desired by consumers. if they instantly sell out they'll usually do a follow up reprint. additionally it's a direct to consumer model, so they make more per kit as they are the end retailer and do not sell the kits wholesale to distributors.
>>23497159But then why make it so hard for foreigners to purchase+why wouldn't they release the same things worldwide on country specific pb
>>23496996I like their Maxion faction stuff
>>23497015I love SEEDkino.
>>23497151>Have they ever explained why they specifically only released certain units for pb in Japanartificial scarcity / FOMO culture. designer brands and shoes do this as well. profit went up 6 million %It's fucking cancer.
>>23497163I can't speak to other storefronts but the US gets pretty much everything JP does these days except some retail reprints (even then we have gotten those too).
>>23497163because fuck gaijin piggus go home
I want to take the next step beyond snapbuilding but the guides for painting has too many options and it's confusing.Can I just grab an acrylic based spray cane and spray onto the kit? Do I still need to put acrylic based topcoat before painting?
>>23497163>why hard to buyLimiting sales and stock going to certain countries is not the goal, it's the method. The goal is pumping up prices and demand via artificial scarcity.>but why not cater to all demographicsthey already have cheap products for those with less money. this is just bandai moving in on the higher end of the market. before people would just pay money for third parties to help them find the rarer models and ship it for them. Now Bandai offers rare limited edition shit and sells directly to certain customers, cutting out middlemen. sure there's always gonna be still resellers and not all limited edition stuff is sold via p-bandai, but now bandai makes a ton more money
>>23497188just use a brush and acrylic paint bro
>>23497193>brushPlebeian. You have ten perfectly functional fingers.
>>23497193But will that leave brushmarks and thus not as smooth? My only experience in painting with acrylic and a brush is back at school years ago.
>>23497185This but unironically
I rather get a Kshatriya re/100 than the chinese. I hope bandai gets their pants on fast.
>>23495890He's awesome. Great job Anon.
>>23497190>goal is pumping up prices and demand via artificial scarcity.no one really wins except for scalpers in this method though. I experienced it with more on the strict g clothing/HomeGoods side but having it be sold like this only encourages scalping
>>23497200Behold! The secret to getting smooth paint coats from brush painting.It's either this or forking over $200+ for a laboratory vibration table.
>>23497163That's just how it is with nip hobbies, unfortunately. Even though banco actually plans for a global market, they're still a japanese company.
>>23496940Yeah, i like them. And they encourage customisation and modularity. Like i can get 3 minute project mechs, made for 1/60 diaclone dudes and use their shoulders cannons as pile bunkers for 1/144 guys and etc. Gonna build Z1crone one on the weekends, cause RE/100 sold out and no Pbandai here>>23497151Recently visited America on vacation, seen some Pbandai gundam wing stuff in retail, hobby lobby and some gaming shop that had transformers and funkos.
>>23497188>>23497200If you're using acrylics, you should also buy a primer. They sell it in spray cans. The primer will make it so your paint actually sticks to the plastic. Make sure you have a means of separating your parts and masking them so you only get the colors you want on the appropriate parts. Once you're done painting, then you can spray a topcoat on there to protect your paintjob. Matte is the most commonly used but you can use whatever you like.It's entirely possible to paint your model with just a regular brush, and you won't have to fiddle with masking tape if you don't want to. For that, you have to make sure you thin your paints (acrylics can be thinned with just water) and use a nice flat brush for those broader surfaces on gunpla. A second, smaller brush with a fine point is nice to have for smaller details.Whichever method you pick, be sure to practice on spare plastic like your leftover runners.
>>23497229Cool, thanks.
>>23497221Cheap $10 massage gun's work too>>23497188https://youtu.be/Yb2fQLj9d74?si=gvbagQSEgDcPNjDO
>>23497231Nice, I'll give this a look too, thanks.
>>23497221>>23497231>Cheap $10 massage gun's work tooHow do these help brush painting?
>>23497229>>23497230>Whichever method you pick, be sure to practice on spare plastic like your leftover runners.EG kits are perfect for practicing almost any building or painting techniques. Left over sprues may not cut it for newbies
painting is a meme and gay. you'll end up painting your nails like mecha gaykotsu did.
i let the overspray paint my nails
I don't even build models anymore I just huff lacquers
>>23497234You need to shake paint bottles to mix the pigments with the medium. Paint naturally separates over time, so it can end up being too thin, forcing you to do multiple uneven coats, or too thick and chalky(pic related). Shaking the bottles by hand is tiring and doesn’t always mix the paint well, which is why people use vibrators to mix paint evenly in the bottle.Not to mention that poorly mixed paint can splatter in an airbrush or even clog it completely.
>>23497237I don't like the default colors for some kits.
>>23497237>YT vids of model planes / tanks / trains builders are mainly white geezers>gunpla builders are mainly SEAfags, women or queer dudesTomino was right, Gundam is for women.
>>23497267Thanks to Wing onwardsWing = shoujoSeed = shoujo00 = shoujoIBO = fujoWfM = LGBTGCucks = more shoujoUC isn't much better with their pussy ass effeminate protagonists. Judau is the only one that's alright.
my beloved deep striker is finally getting a reprint
>>23496149>>23496092I didn't know about the history, thanks. All I know is that coming back to the hobby after 20 years, finding that they did, in the intervening years make The O but also having it compare unfavorably to my Acguy from 2005 was just disappointing. I dunno, even if they did release it in 2006 it might have still been a letdown, it'd just be more excusable than 2010.
>>23496271LET'S FUCKIN->PBOh for the love of god
>>23497267Good thing it caters to me.
>>23497237The more you see your nails while painting the more you think to yourself "hey this would look cool with pink". If you haven't had this thoughts then you're not a realpainter.
>>23496668Ex Model Ra Cailum!
>>23497317I paint with gloves.
>>23497273Why even put a head on it at this point?
>>23497163There's a storefront in many regions, they have allocations reserved for them actually, they just put them up on international storefronts later, it's actually up on the Singapore storefront already actually.
>>23497324More like why even put a humanoid robot at this point.
>>23497321You think I care about your protection?
>>23497163Why cater to foreigners who make up a small percentage of your market and pray that a hundred of them buy the kit while you can just dump it to SEA Pbandai and watch as how the preorders get fulfilled in less than a minute.
>>23497319I'd fucking kneel through the floor. They can have my firstborn for a Reinforce Junior.
>>23497015Still pissed that the second batch had changes that made me cancel, and that recolor doesn't look as good as the original 1st batch
>Buy chang>Quality is not guaranteedKek, many such cases.
>>23497348>Why cater to foreigners>SEA PbandaiLol, lmao even
>>23497359What did they change
>>23497373>Second batch version update.>1. Clear black parts are now pure clear>2. V-fin and chest vents are now orange (previously gold)>3. Armor is now cement gray in color (previously greenish gray)>4. Beam effect parts are now in clearThe beam effects were the one reason why I wanted the kit. The other changes could be fixed with paint but not the beams
>>23497378your translucent paints?
>>23496673re/100 msa-120 and mg ver ka g-3 saviour
>>23497370>He doesn't know.
>>23497249What about one of these?
I want MG F91 but I can't justify the size & complexity to price ratio
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kweKTv5v6pE
New lesson learned: Alcohol-based paint work well with clear parts. Try using a mere Gundam Marker on clear lenses from 00 series kits. It will save you lots of time.
Why do people cry about P-Bandai so damn much? Just get it in the after market. >but it becomes so much more expensive!You either want it or you don't.
>>23497015Would be cool if it actually looked anything remotely close to this. Go look at the promo pictures of the original and how it actually looks in person. The kit also had numerous QC issues.
>>23497412I won't participate in the scam
What's the best action base for MG Turn A?
>>23497431Glue it onto a toilet seat.
>>23497428I understand. I, too, will be there to witness the empire crumble. The time is near, but it's not now.
10 years ago, there was a dream
>>23497412I wouldn't even mind if the scalpers were doing maybe 25% of the item cost. But at least for the strict g things I feel like they upcharge 100% of the item cost most of the time.
>>23497442TODAY THAT DREAM IS FULFILLED...
>>23497449I hope they make one for Rig Contio though.
>>23497446>upcharge 100%*at least 100%
>>23497449>P-TODAY P-THAT P-DREAM PISS P-FULFILLED...
>>23497459What's the issue? Just buy it off P-Bandai.
how many came true?
>>23497469Well, there was a new Flag HG and a new Barbatos variant MG so that kinda counts
>>23497469>RG X Gundamwhy don't we have this yet?why did we get a not-even-sexy figure of the heroine instead?
>>23497412Because the prices can 3x-4x. I might want a kit but after a certain point it's not worth the cost even if you can afford it.
>>23497472Because the anniversary is next year.
>>23497472>not-even-sexyTiffa is sexy and erotic no matter what. Uuuuoooohhh ToT
P-Bandai are way too expensive.
>>23497477That is like 70 dollars in Burgerland. Not that bad, considering this is an after market sale.
Growing up is realizing your kits look better just standing there instead of in stupid action poses
>>23497480yea but burger people earn 5-10 times more than 3rd worlders.
I had this conversation with someone yesterday>Him: the economy is really bad, it's better to just buy 2nd handed gunpla. This one (MG Hyaku Shiki) is really good.>Me: why not just buy the bootleg if you're struggling with money?>Him: I prefer having original stuff. sure I don't get to build it, but the it's going to be put on the display either way>Me: But the point of model kit is to build it. that's like over half the experience.>Him: LOL>*conversation ended*Who was in the right?
Didn't ask.
Offtopic bullshit go to /pol/.
>>23497481I agree, it's fun to take a few photos in flashy poses when you first assemble a kit but for actual display a neutral post that lets the design speak for itself looks better.people that leave their kits in awkward a-poses are weird tho
>>23497482The market is not gonna adjust to your income.
>$425 Who's the target audience of this junk?
>>23497512shitters who can't snap plastic together
>>23497489Honestly, if it is a snapfit kit, he is not missing out that much. Real model building experience is when you glue together a traditional scale model and then paint it. Customization is optional.
>it's just mazinger zero
>>23497515Mazinger Zero if he was gay
>RE100 revival announced>don't have interest in literally any of the lineupwhelp.
>>23497449Once again a kit they are advertising but not selling.
>>23497504I have this strange habit to leave my kits in this exact neutral standing pose. Then imagine how it would look in flashy combat poses. It is more exciting this way.
>>23497514>glue together a traditional scale model and then paint it.fat white boomer activity
>>23497462>just get ripped off broBandai shills are wild
>>23497521Don't lie to yourself. This will be you in 40 years.
>>23497527this is me now
>>23497527my backlog is half aircraft+ship models and half gunpla so yes, I'm slowly getting there
>DUDE, JUST BUY A $100 NIPPER, IT'S REALLY GOO-
>>23497531should have bought a 5 dollar aliexpress one
>>23497531My blue god hands fell on the floor blade first and didn't break. The tip is bent but I can still use it for most nubs. How does your pic even happen ?
>>23497531>He fell for premium quality nipper memeSilly anon, 10 dollars offbrand Chinese nipper is all you need.
>>23497477Why would you buy this shit when daban's kit is better in every possible way?
>>23497535Nipper is not always for cutting nubs and sprues. Sometimes you have to modify your kit abit, such as splitting Geara Zulu's front skirt in half. Doing these practices can severly damage your nipper.
>>23497539Is this why one of the blades on my tamiya double bladed nippers had some holes in it ?
>watched a non-gunpla model kit video for the first time>no snap fit, every single part needs SEMEN to connectthis is brutal...
this has never damaged my chinese single blade nippers. godhands are uniquely fragile
>>23497542same.my $4 entry level nipper is still great after 7 MGs
>>23497504>>23497520Agree, a neutral standing pose lets you appreciate the design better and it makes more sense, it's just better for something that goes on a shelf
>>23497544My first ever nipper still works after 5 HGs, 5 RGs, 5 MGs and 2 PGs. But it does leave some ugly ass marks I have to clean up with a knife afterwards
>>23497541I got the urge to EVOLVE from Gunpla
>>23497541whats brutal about that
>>23497531on the one hand those look ancient, look at the handle.on the other hand yeah, the cheap 10$ China ones I got off Amazon are still perfectly fine after 5 years of use.
>>23497553NTA, scale models have alot of overly small parts, litetall rivets on the surface. And if you are unlucky, alot of old kits got alot of warped, uneven parts. Building these models is as unpleasant as it sounds.
>>23497517>revivalIt's a single kit what is with you retards? When they start announcing a new one every month then come back and talk to me.
>>23497531You know you don't really need a premium nipper unless you're a snapshitter and don't want to use a hobby knife.
>>23497563>When they start announcing a new one every monthLmao what? Not even HG gets new kits that often. Are you mad that RE100 got a brand new mold while your precious ver Ka is penny pinching with every new releases?
>>23497564I use thumb + nail clipper
>>23497568>Are you madWell I would rather MGs than 1/100 HGs because bandai has more than enough money to give us nicer robots than that, but that's a different conversation.>Not even HG gets new kits that oftenFM was considered dead and then they suddenly came out with the seed shits and nobody screamed revival. you zoomers are retard-maxxing for sure.
FM Lagowe...
>>23497531>>23497535I broke mine by using them on tougher plastic than they were meant to handle. I got a second pair of Dspiae ones that I now only use for finishing cuts.
>>23497579>FM was considered deadLmao what? IBO's FM was its own standalone brand called 1/100 Iron Blooded Orphans originally, then Bandai renamed it into Full Mechanics 1/100 Iron Blooded Orphans. It was for IBO stuff only. The current FM covers AUs in general and not exclusive to a single show.
Banco won't become any less retarded about selling outside japan until the lead poisoned yakuza dinosaurs in charge finally start dying off en masse.They'll be replaced by other yakuza dinosaurs of course, but slightly less lead poisoned, slightly less alcoholic, and slightly less demented ones.
>>23497531Sharp steel is brittle. Don't be a retard with them.
>>23497589Current Bandai CEO is young
>>23497584>Dead line from 2016>Suddenly re-appears with seed kits and a singular WFM>Dead again as the last kit was from 2023REVIVE WHEN
>>23497595honorary boomer
>>23497589>slightly less lead poisoned, slightly less alcoholic, and slightly less demented ones.According to the wiki, Nao Udawaga is the current president and CEO of Bandai.
>>23497597IBO 1/100 was non grade, you fucking faggot. Current FM is not even Gunpla.
What's up with this faggot crying about Re100's return and how people call it a revival? Hell, just be grateful that your obscure robot even has a kit.
>>23497595>>23497600just figureheads
>>23497597Non grade IBO is dead, dummy. You will take your overpriced MG and you will like it.
>>23497602>>23497607>3 year old robot kitOk? FM is dead. Revive when?>>23497610IBO can fuck off. I didn't ask for any more robots from this 10 year old series that I don't care about. I'll take more F90 packs than that.
>>23497602they switched the branding from ng 1/100 to fm somewhere in the middle of the ibo kit runs. earlier ones are just ng 1/100 but later ones like the vidar are fm
>>23497612FM Boost Raider was last year. Try to keep up, old man.
>>23497621Very sad it wasn't Full Spec. I probably woulda grabbed it.
>>23497621>last year>last>yearREVIVE WHEN???
>>23497613FM IBO to be more exact. Bandai didn't want to make actual MG for it since everything already had innerframe. During this era, the general FM for AUs haven't existed yet.
>>23497626It is like 10 months ago lmao. December 2024. Now you compare it to RE100, the last new mold in the line was 5 years ago and nothing brand new came out until today.
RE100 is alive and getting more investment into the production. MG is reusing old molds and will be on budget cut until further notice. Next MGs: Barbatos Lupus ( same innerframe ), Full Armor Ver Ka ( same innerframe, old armors parts ). Have a nice day.
>>23497639ok, thank you Mr. Uncle Bandai. Very cool.
>>23497633>10 months agoThat's literally dead and therefore needs a revive.
>>23497639>MGs recycling shit and other 1/100 scales stuck in peebmy masterplan to abolish all grades but HG is going swimmingly
>>23497647Eventually, only shit remains.
Kanki lost
Question for you guys that have experience with epoxy putty, I want to make some details on the surface of a piece with epoxy putty, do I need to prepare the surface for it to adhere, or just placing it on the surface enough?
>>23497652>clay model kithow does that even work?
>>23497657Putty is very sticky, almost glue-like. You even need to soak your hand in water when working with it.
>>23497658It is basically a clear plastic model that you can fill it with playdoh.
>>23497621No one even bought this shit.
Only an mg hy-gogg is gonna save the mg line.
>>23497672BASED
>>23497657I'd say sand the surface with low grit beforehand to be extra sure
>>23497672unironically hyped for a 1/100 kit of it
Give us RE 1/100!
>>23497612>I'll take more F90 packsGo choke on a dick faggot
>>23497672this but unironically
Does the Gcucks Red Gundam look better in-hand or is it as odd as it looks in product shotsI liked seeing it in action but not as much when it was still
would unironically like a MG Earthree Gundam and have like the packs even be released as PBandai
F90 packs would be great if they were fucking retail. Why the fuck would I buy the F90, a kit that uses packs, if I can't even reliably buy the motherfucking packs I want?
>>23497735Honestly no, i own a handful of Gcucks kits and they look awful. They look so skinny with no bulk.
>>23497739midget gundam funy
>>23497745Core Gundam is actually slightly taller than Denan Gei in Eldora environment, which is abit disturbing to think about.
When should US Pbandai update with this kit? Tomorrow? Monday?
>>23496359Yeah, me
why do people here in /gpg/ claim that the infamous RE1/100 picture as a hoax?it was a no camera allowed event intended for retailers back then and it was a pic sneaked out. this was the full pic
>>23497769because you're autistic and don't understand what a joke is
>>23497769Did you ever get your tests handed back face down in school?
>>23497769>it was a no camera allowed eventThe excuses keep adding up lmao.
>re/100 was supposed to be the line for kits that are not popular enough for proper mgs>no fucking retail releases in like 6 years with only two new toolings both being pbandai within that time frame>we get recoloured garbage of actual gigaflop kits and literal shit for retail insteadi will never understand bandai
In a just world the Full Armor ZZ would be P-Bandai and the Den'an Gei would be retail.
>>23497777>line for kits that are not popular enough for proper mgs>i will never understand bandaiYou don't understand bandai because you listened to the shills.
>>23497639>Barbatos Lupus ( same innerframe )In what world would it not?
>>23497801Lupus has differents parts for the feet and arms frame, is john bandai really willing to put in the effort to make those new parts?
>>23497777P Bandai is not a dumpster for flopped designs like people think it is. It is consist of slightly niche design but with strong cult following. People like Shokew, Geara Zulu's specialized customs, Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster, Sirbine, etc. Pbandai is that place for autistic, hardcore fans willing to pay and become victim of FOMO. Kyokai Senki is a young, debut IP, it doesn't have that kind of cult following yet and Bandai has no reason to sell it as such. There is no KS fanatic gushing over Pbandai Goyou Custom or Aaron Rhino.
>>23497805It has new hands for sure. The rest is just padded with new armor parts.
>>23497813Then why Shuffle alliance is in peebandai? They aren't niche, they're protagonists
>>23497820They are niche but with a fanbase, doesn't matter if they are protagonists or not. This kind of robot is the typical victim of Pbandai.
>>23497805They made some new parts for the vidar frame too. It's not uncommon for them to make a new runner with the new frame parts and just leave some of the old ones unused.
>>23497783in a just world p-bandai wouldn’t exist and Bandai would know which kits should be printed at what amounts by gauging interest instead of flooding the market with shelf warmers
>>23497805the feet is basically recycled parts from the PBandai Barbatos option parts
>>23497805John Bandai has gotten out of rehab and will be ushering the golden age of MGs in 2026. We're already seeing the signs of the 2nd factory working.
if MG kits are only popular in the West, why did Bandai stop making MG kits around the time Gundam got popular in the West again?
>>23497833Bandai is currently building a sub-factory under their first factory, so production will be slow until it goes online in five years. Then we will enter the MG and PG golden age. Trust the plan.
>>23497834Because they're lying about it.The actual reason is that MG kits are popular with adult collectors and Bandai wants to milk that audience with metal builds, which have very similar development pipelines, costs, and time to MGs.
>>23497829They used to operate that way, looking at the fan's opinion on the robot through surveys and adjust the stock according that. Nowadays Bandai is a literall predator, grooming their fanbase into believing printing in low quantity is impossible and they have to buy the niche designs through Bandai's dogshit service.
blonde: popularity poll resultsdude: me, a bandai exec
>>23497840Metal Build is alot more expensive compares to MG production. They have to pay a painting team for each figure and make dieccast for them. This makes the quality control alot more damaging because each defective copy is an expensive one. MG on the otherhand, all plastic and no paint beside the prototype and commerical promo.
Anyone had the experience with AK clear colors?
>>23497743FuckStill hesitant on the Gyan because I love the Gyan in general, I'd jump on a Kikeroga because I warmed up to the Braw Bro. The red Gundam though, it's just something about the head and face, and it somehow looks worse in in-hand photosWhich do you have, I assume it's the Gelgoog and Guncannon instead of the fatass Zakus
>>23497856Yes, but the development (as in actually working up the design and parts etc) is similar to MG and the profit ratio is much higher. That's why they killed MG for MB.
>>23497871They're like $20 high grades just buy and build it and make your own opinions lil bro.
>>23497864I used the AK clear red the first time I tried out a metallic/candy coatit turned out pretty niceit took quite a few days to properly set though but that could have likely been because I fucked up the painting a bit
>>23497531those are the cheap ones thoughPN-120 used to be $30 on amazon, shipped. SPN-120 were the $50-60 ones
>>23497552nice, there's a lot worse first time handpaint jobs out there. this is worth being proud of for a first attempt.
>>23497871I have Light Cannon, Xavier Gyan and Police Zaku. This is probably the skinniest incarnation of Zaku so far. Gyan has ectomorph body proportion, its chest and waist have the same ratio, it has huge clown shoes, too. Such a fucking abomination. Lightcannon has disturbing in its pelvis section. Overall, not great designs.
>>23497890Holy nub marks LMAO
>>23497890*Disturbing gaps in its pelvis sectionPic
>>23497892No paint, must have nub marks. I keep things in reality.
>>23497895Jegans have this and nobody complained though
>>23497902Jegan's gap is much less prominent and more forgiveable. Saying this is the same as that gigantic gap in Guncannon's pelvis is abit disingenious.
>>23497469PGU Nu Gundam did happen.Instead of the Rex or Bael it was Vidar and Lupus that got an MG instead.Also I really doubt Rising and Immortal would actually get an MG over MSF and IJ2.
>>23497924it's exactly the same
>>23497926With their pathetic showcase in the film, probably having FM kits instead of MGs.
>>23497924>>23497931it's significantly less prominent if you don't yank the hips down for no apparent reason
>>23497934Dalong got bought out by Bandai...
I have like 8 Jegan kits.
>>23497934It is still prominent even when you tilt the joints upwards. This thing needs a pair of fat side skirts to lessen this. Makes the design feels more fullfilling.
>>23497957now it's the same size as the jegancongrats
>>23497959The jegan wasn't in gcucks so I can't cry about it
>>23497934
>>23497961Whataboutism so i can defend this horrid HG kit.
IS THAT A GAP BETWEEN THE JOINTS? THIS KIT IS RUINED.
>You should buy this kit and make your own opinion, but it must be the same opinion as mine!
>>23497973Correct, it's a pretty bad design.
>GQUUUXYOUR FAULT. WE DON'T CCARE>
>>23497973Exactly.
>>23497735>>23497871I have most of them besides the zaku and I never fully put the lightcannon together. Articulation is very good for the skinny ones and the fat ones have the drawbacks that you'd expect. I know they're contentious and I know that some people just want more boilerplate gundam designs but I think they have a lot of individual design cues that are interesting and fun to paint, even if the final designs don't really come together well. Stuff like the sort of rollbar protection parts around sensitive parts, visible piping, integrated fuel tanks. I think there's a lot of cool mechanical design ideas>Red gundam A lot better in hand, although I think the pink plastic doesn't really do it any favors. If the head is your issue then there's no fixing that unless you want to do the 01.>GyanReally good too but yeah it's proportions look a little odd without the shield and lance in hand. You're buying it for the lance anyways.>GMGoogYou get what you see and the articulation lets you get some really good poses out of it with the wire.>GquuuuuuxVery sturdy and solid, great articulation, a few annoying seams and a lot of color correction needed. GFred will be similar since they are like 85% the same
>>23498001Toshiaki Ihara has this really weird fetish of making the robot having a skinny upperbody and while also being bottom heavy. And it is not even feminine or anything, just weird. Cielnova and Xavier Gyan being somewhat similar due to having same designer.
>Set a filter on P-Bandai that has (1) item>Selection goes from 108 results to 109 resultsThe fuck happened to this website
>>23498023I have no idea what they're using for their search algorithm but it's just completely fucked.
>>23498023>Type in re/100>gives me one re/100>gives me fifty MG 1/100s>gives me several 1/144sThere's a reason why all of bandai's online service games flopped and it's because they're idiots.
>>23497879Gotta be strategic with my neet purchases>>23497890I was actually a bit excited for the Gyan apart from the tumor-looking thrusters for the lance.>>23497954Are they good? Also why>>23498001I liked your Tokai Teio Gyan! Does the Gyan qualify as a skinny or a fat mobile suit?I was considering that, the Red Gundam, and maybe the Gquuuuuux, I'd be more fond of the latter if I thought of it as a mix of Gundam and Evangelion, less so for anything from the showKikeroga would be an instabuy though, I think it suffered the least from the show's design philosophy
>>23498037Love the Jegan. The HG shows it's age though.
>>23498037>maybe the GquuuuuuxIf you're interested and willing to wait, a final battle version of the kit is coming out soon which is the exact same as the current one but with some minor new options parts.
>>23498037Gyan looked fine in animation and promo but once i actually hold it in my hand, the ugliness of the design started to become more apparent. Unlike Nightinghale, which i thought it looked ugly and overly weird, but actually like the HG alot, just shorten the waist and all is good. I guess this is " don't meet your heroes" as people usually say.
>>23498033Use the website correctly and it works correctly
>>23495890Mobile suits shouls have more tactical gizmos like on current military vehiclesIE a radar
>Hexa Gear actually had lore all this timewtf...I've been misled for so long...
>>23498067>ackshually you need to set the filters correctly so our shitty website knows that when you input the search query "re/100" you only want re/100 and not one piece card games.Is this cult mentality?
>>23498070They do.
>>23498037I would classify gyan under fat just because the legs are big and have limited articulation. >gqxIf you have to convince yourself into buying it then I wouldn't bother but there is the final version releasing around january
>>23498080I clicked a single checkbox to filter it for that line. It is less work than what you did.Use the website correctly and it works correctly. You're just making up reasons to get mad by this point.
>>23498070 (You)...or instead of funnel weapons why not an autonomous C-WIS on the back?Idk I just like mobile suits that look more like military machines than super sentai
what are these called? can't find them in aliexpress
>>23498083Nothing comes to mind besides the loto I think
>>23498089gator clips
>>23498087Jesus Christ man, does bandai even pay you ?
>>23498080I just go to the thing that sorts the models by scale/grade at the bottom. Literally one click.
>>23498095Click the checkbox. It's not that hard. I implore you, a single click of the mouse.
>>23498095HWS looks so bad on the Hi-Nu. Looks fine on the base Nu though.
>Changslopper cant even navigate a simple websiteOH NONONONononono
>>23498080>zoomie doesn't understand the basics of how search queries worka true classic
>>23498098>>23498096>>23498101Please bandai employee, fix your search. You're one of the richest toy companies in the world. The least you can do is make a search function that doesn't return random products unrelated.
>>23498102One click of the mouse solves this issue. You've made five posts screeching about something that one click solves.
>>23498088
>>23498105Please bandai employee. IM FUCKING BEGGING YOU. Just give us accurate search results.
>>23498102>retarded zoomer doesn't understand that 99% of searches on the internet discard punctuation
>>23498108Click the box you retard.
>>23498109Fine, let me fix it.
>>23498109>>23498111PLEASE BANDAI EMPLOYEE PLEASE
>>23498114these were basic internet literacy skills we were taught in middle school, zoom zoomI'm sorry your educators failed youso much for digital natives, huh?
>>23498118PLEASE BANDAI EMPLOYEE I AM BEGGING YOU. Even amazon has the capability to give you ACCURATE results for simply just searching "1/100". PLEASE. These are the first five results. The next five results all contain some form of >1/100or>1-100and they're majority gunpla related.
>>23498121There's checkboxes on that site too. You may want to avoid it since it has such horrible design elements that you may need to click on.
>>23498123Even ebay when searching "1/100" gives me model kits that are 1/100 first and foremost. First two results. Seems they don't teach you kids today how search is supposed to work.
>>23498114good, I hope they keep inserting MG on search results for other products, give that website dec a raise
>>23498128I think you're living proof they dont teach them anything
>>23498102If anything their filters should be improved before the search. I should have a scale option that lets me see all 1/100s or 1/144s instead of needing to select each grade that counts.
AAAAAAAAAAH I CAN'T IT WITH THIS RETARD WHO CAN'T EVEN USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.
>>23498137Also a filter for option parts vs full kits.
>>23498137>filtersIf I was searching a forum for a niche part that required me to find keywords then this wouldn't be a problem.
>>23498133NTA, but when i search " women", i don't want to see some guys with bare dick and balls popping out of their pants inbetween the results. On topic re4sults should pop up first and then off topic stuff should be at the bottom. You can argue that everyone should use the filter list, however, it is not an excuse to defend the fact that you are seeing things you don't want to see.
This discussion is why I ask gpg every insipid question about kits and their variants and releases.
I want an advice on my next purchase. Should i get the MG Tallgeese+MG Wing Ver Ka for 70 euros or the Forbidden for 60. I'm currently watching Wing for the first time so that could also be taken into consideration.
>>23498150Finish watching Wing and then decide what you like best.
>>23498147>he doesn't want to see dick and ballsI don't get it.
>>23498153I like the Tallgeese but i see on Dalong that its just a decent kit, the Wing ver ka is there to have them as a duo since that one doesn't seem to be that well seen.
>>23498093yes, but these aren't the normal gator clipsyou close them instead of opening them so can secure a piece by being inserted in a holeI just can't find this specific type
>>23498150I'm very biased but I've always thought the Forbidden looked like crap while the Tallgeese is ne of the greatest feats of mechanical design.
>>23498158Theres also Epyon and Deathscythe on stock. I could drop the Wing in favor for one of those.
>>23498147What even is in this one piece card game that it comes up in every search query?
>>23498147You could use that as a learning experience and use the checkbox next time instead of spending half an hour throwing a fit about it though, right? His response alone makes it worth mocking him for getting a hypothetical cock and balls in his face.>>23498157If you figure it out you should post where you found them. That seems very handy to have.
>>23498041Fuck>>23498048Is that the one with the pink disks or is there a third one? If it costs about the same then I'll maybe wait for that, thanks. I assumed it was a complete alternate kit for some reason.>>23498058I love the stupid fatass Nightingale's design, but this sounds disappointing, it sounds like I'll be getting jumpscared by its fat out of nowhere. I just wish they made more cheap Gyan variants for no reason other than to appease specifically and solely me.>>23498085I swear the first release came out around the same time as well
>>23498163>If Google image search is the same as Pbandai>Look up " Nu Gundam">Five screenshots of Tusk and The Human Centipede pop up inbetween the on topic results>Cries
>>23498157Like some sort of reverse clips maybe?
>>23498163here's the japanese video where I found it in case someone can translate ithttps://youtu.be/Lm36kK7OB6M?t=314
>>23498167lol owned
>>23498163>Anon is still defending bandai's website returning unrelated resultsBy the way, the other guy is mocking you with the whole cock and balls thing. Default search filters should be enabled to return the products that I want in conjunction with the search query I input.
>>23498171I know some japanese. It roughly translates to reverse clip. Looking up reverse painting clips brings them up. Those look like the hobby base slim clip version.>>23498176And you're still too dumb to use a mouse.
>>23498179>too dumb to use a mouse20 years later and zoomers are mocking people for not using mice and touch screens.
>>23498160In that case pick the Deathscythe and buy Wing and Epyon later
this guy is pressed
>>23498183So get Tallgeese and Deathscythe now?
>>23498183Wing Ver Ka is better.
>>23498185Heads up for the deathscythe. That dark plastic marks really badly so be gentle when you're cutting parts if you don't plan on painting it.
>>23498189Its not the Hell version. Its the normal version by the way.
yet another thread full of irrelevant spam posts and bait
>>23498192I'm aware. It still has a lot of dark plastic that marks really badly.
why does my scalper still not have the denangei for preorder
>>23498179You are pulling some disingenious argument there, anon. His point is about how he can't find the products he want, but it is how there are too many off topic results appeared. If a search engine can't show off on-topic results containing they keyword, then it is a bad search engine. Even something like 4chan Archive gives accurate results based on just keywords alone.
>>23498194Alright. I got the Tallgeese and the Scythe. I'll post them when they are done.
>>23498171This is pretty much the only manufacturer I can find.https://www.hlj.com/useful-paint-stick-reverse-clip-type-medium-clip-ylsppc-n23
>>23498203Oh I didn't think of that. Now that's genuinely off topic so I won't go much further into it (at least bitching about pbandai is still about gunpla) but the archive of /m/ actually does a really good job of searching for 1/100. Every post contains "1/100" in it accurately.
where are all the paintgod kinos?
>>23498213I ate those
>>23498215https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGbhJjXl9Rk
>>23498215>>23498217not all of them
>>23498179thanks, found them available in hlj
>>23498220>hljoh no no no...
>>23498224hlj is a good store
>>23498220>>23498224Google search reverse alligator clips. If you're in the US the first result is model paint solutions. More expensive but possibly cheaper in the long run.
>>23498220You really didn't need gpg help to figure out the name for these
>>23498233I'm europoor, maybe I'll grab them on my next trip to japan
>>23498239i guarantee you you can find these domestically or on aliexpress
>>23498237the problem was figuring out I couldn't find them in ali/amazon because it's a japan only product, so it made me think it wasn't the correct name
>>23498244nope
>>23498239What country?
Chang, I'm gonna need a bootleg of this guy.
>>23498266lmaowas katoki shitposting when he designed this
>>23498270Everything about it is remarkably normal except the stupid flippers. It's like the dipshit f90 and its skis.
>>23498270It is really strange how Katoki always seem like a " serious mecha " designer in public conciousness when one of his early work was Nobel Gundam.
>>23498273Someone hates fun
>>23498266I want a MG of a Geara Zulu, even if it is just a German Stormtrooper in MS armor. At least it'll break up the Sinanju/Unicorn monotony
>>23498275I was never into the whole "so bad it's entertaining" shit.
>>23495895Going to do some chipping tonight after topcoating my xn unit
>>23498276Geara Zulu and its brothers were massive flops and Bandai doesn't reprint them as much as the legacy grunts. They are essentially Geara Doga but with worse designs. Unicorn grunts were failures in general, mostly because Katoki didn't do a good job redesigning them but also the Ace units in the show look so much cooler.
>>23498284
>>23498270>was katoki shitposting when he designed thisHe designed these. Let that sink in.
>>23498286
>>23498287these are less of a shitpost than the zee zulu
>>23498274DESU I see it working in Late UC.
>>23498292Zee Zulu's claws and flippers are just temporary addons. It is just a blue Geara Zulu.
>>23498298geara zulu is already a meme. its proportions make it look like the virgin walk meme, which is even more of a meme considering its nazi aesthetic
>>23498302I don't see it.
non peeb hg bros what is there to look forward to
>>23498309I blame the videogames and capeshit for making people believing the sighting of a soldier wearing gasmask is exclusively a schutzstaffel's thing. It is an extremely common fashion in military.
>>23498318Well the helmet is 100% a German WW2 helmet, but I'm just saying I don't see the virgin walk meme.
>>23498320What?
>>23498315There's uuuh the uuuuh something like... There must be something
>>23498315products from other companies
>>23498315whatever the changs cook up
>>23498320bizarre post. i have no idea what it's trying to convey or what it has to do with anything i said
>>23498325>Well the helmet is 100% a German WW2 helmetIt isn't either. Stahlhelm have been around since WW1, back when Hitler was still being a drawfag. The rest of Zulu's design is just bunch of random things: Geara Doga, Zaku, Gasmask, military dress uniform.
>>23498228I meant more the shipping issue.
>>23498376maybe he's not an amerishartyou people need to stop assuming everyone is an amerishart
>>23498378Whether he's American or not, he's still gonna pay like 30 bucks in shipping for a 750Y item.

>>23498501It insists upon itself

>>23498501The only reason its horrible is because of Banagher and not having a second season.
>>23498502but even so...
>>23498471nazis were full of gays before they killed the leader of the SA
Heard the bootleg of the FM Barb Lupus Rex by 'Max' is supposed to be decent. Does anyone know if that kit comes with slides or even stickers?
so, someone who has built an RE/100 kit, what are the downsides of it? I got a RE/100 GunEZ I've been wanting to build and also eyeballing the Den'an-Gei.
>>23498530They're pretty much a big high grade. there's some more detail because the scale allows it but don't have super high expectations. They're all fine kits aside from the nightingale. I like it, it's just very flawed.
>>23498530nothing. it's just a big hg. i've built the gun ez and it's only real flaw is the connection point of the bit that protrudes down from the knee into the shin that looks kind of shitty unless you fill it with putty or something
>>23498502SORE DEMO!
>>23498530They're totally fine, I just felt slightly unsatisfied when I finish it since I just snapped it. They can really use some love to look less toyish.
>>23498530They are good. Don't expect them to be a bunch of empty clamshells because they are not. Still very complex and take sometime to snap together.
>>23498516Gay men are less common than you think. Realistically, Nazi would have like 1 gay dude in 1 million.
I just bought $900 worth of 30MS. I don't even want to put any of it together now. Bros, wtf have I done?

>>23495895I've gotten this far into my kampfer today. I do not think I am gonna knock this out in a day. In fact, I think it will take several more.Having built this kit before, I remember it being a far worse build.>>23498609I'll give you 700 dollars for it all. Cut your losses.
>>23498629I'd rather smash every piece with my own bare hands and trash the lot than be a faggot scalper.

Should I buy the Dendrobrium for $400
>>23496974The Bandai ones are pretty good. I was waiting for an ExExBein but I ended up getting the Kotobukiya one recently.
BASED GIRLPLA ENJOYER
>>23498612I know this has been a funny discussion but most of nazi look-alike elements in Zulu are kinda doesn't mean anything beyond the aesthetic reference. The actual STG44 doesn't have a grenade launcher addon and optional scope like this. The main robot itself took reference from Hizack, Zaku and Geara Doga as Katoki mentioned in his artbook. Stahlhelm and gasmask are just very basicbitch design language.
>>23498530I'm not one for greebles or crazy amounts of detail like the chinese seem to like, but some re/100s are horrendously under detailed pieces of crap.
>>23498609Post a picture of everything.
>>23498818That's what pisses me off the most about RE/100, it comes across at times that it's Bandai trying to get away with the least amount of work as possible to shut up people who demand MG kits of certain MS
>>23498818It's weird to say this when the RE100 Shokew is while not a perfect proportional match to the Shokew is very much a match for the level of detail in the art. The model is quite accurately representing the design, what's the problem?
>>23497890Why do you retards always leave your kits in this same autism pose.>>23498286>>23498289Nice work anon. What paints did you use here?
>>23498818That's the amount of details every mech should be capped at.
>>23498818yep. meanwhile FM is greatly detailed
is there a kit or decal set for this zaku? i really like the gold on it but im not sure the series or the name of the suit. i'm okay with chink/off market as well if so >>23470527
>>23498823I think some of them are done in a malicious nature as you described.
>>23498829>Why do you retards always leave your kits in this same autism pose.
>>23498834Just genuinely baffles this exists when they just have to add extra pieces to a MG Zaku.
>>23498837It has better elbows than the MG Zaku and costs less while looking just as good. It's based except for the hand situation.
>>23498844No cockpit with 1/100 Bernie.
>>23498837Which is funny because back during the B-Club days they had a resin conversion kit that did just that
>>23498835Make him do the "Look, the East is Burning Red!" pose
>>23498844>costs lessI mean the Zaku 1 and 2 would also cost less if they reprinted them more regularly instead of once in a decade
>>23498829Oh sorry, my bad. Here is the improved pose.
>>23498851It'd be cool to include cockpits, they're the one little inner detail I think is neat to have since that really conveys the scale like nothing else, but I'm also okay with it not being a staple of RE100. I want the model.>>23498862The only reason the Zaku I might cost less and I haven't checked the prices is because Bandai's actually weirdly based about maintaining release MSRP for older kits. RE100s just flat out cost less than MGs, there's nothing to even dispute about this, often by like 2000 yen for kits of this scale.

>>23495895I think I got a good combat mode for it.
>>23498855This looks far better than the shitty re/100.
>>23498871This site really is full of 3rd worlders these days.
>>23498888the RE/100 has better proportions overall, in particular for the torso

>>23498696There's so many better things you could spend $400 on man.
>>23498899B-Club kit is far divorced from lineart accuracy. Legs are too slender, top of the front torso is sloped down too far to fit better on the F2 frame, forearms are too small, feet are completely F2 and not FZ. It's a
Dude lineart lmao

>>23498813>The actual STG44 doesn't have a optional scope like this.IT does though, that's quite literally the vampyr night vision spotlight.
>>23498833It is just the Dozle Zabi modelhttp://www.dalong.net/reviews/mg/m98dz/m98dz_p.htm is the MG dunno if there is any poverty models
>>23498923The title is correct, the OP is un-fucked with (save for an embed sign that I gather is from 4chanX), an anon's build was put in the OP, and the groupbuild and anchor posts are included. This thread's fine. I'll consider it a break.
>>23498813yeah actually no mechanical designer had ever even heard of nazi germany actually and it's all coincidence boomer mil otaku bandied around fetishizing nazi drip for zeonthe geara zulu is merely the most fucking blatant but do not pretend zeon getting a kriegsmarine flag in 0083, all the WW2 german armaments that became MS weapons in 0080 and 0083 and the overall fascination with just making WW2 Germany = Zeon isn't a whole fucking thing. It's fine man, you can like the Nazi robot. MG42s and mech sized MG42s are cool. The worst crime the Zulu commits is being a Zaku II. The sleeves aesthetic looks great on Sinanju, Kshatriya, it's even cool on Geara Dogas, but the Zulu is literally just the conservative boomer mil otaku wet dream Zaku II "safe" design.
>>23498895what even is that material? I've only ever seen it in pictures from the philippines and south america
>>23498829The white and red is Mr. Color Aqueous, and the frame is a combo of Tamiya German black and Zeon grey
>>23498977You are literally being paranoid about everything being Nazi and i'm starting to see an intention behind your argument. Both CCA, War in the pocket and Unicorn shown some form of sympathy toward Zeon faction, even depicted them as heroic sometimes. None of their design language being anything more than " cool gritty robots ", some of the "Nazi robot" has pink color and wearing literall flippers. If you keep watching UC then you might as well being a Nazi yourself by that logic.
>>23499525>You are literally paranoid about everything being Nazianon come the fuck on this is not a coincidence. No shit they show sympathy to them, they have an entirely similar cultural "righteous loser" mentality from WW2 that resonates with the entire sympathetic Zeon run-of-the-mill soldier shtick - which is why they make more and more stories about it. None of this is saying they're all goosestepping and reading mein kampf every night but you're being so weirdly disingenuous to pretend "oh actually they're using stalheims because they were inspired by the bundeswehr post-war not the wehrmacht" while every other robot is using a Panzerfaust, Panzershrek, MG42, MP40 and more, and this was inserted as their fucking flag. Saying "oh well they made a custom unit pink and gave an aquatic unit flippers so actually there's no nazi in them at all" is just fucking silly dude. There's a lot of Nazi-drip and weapon fetishism across pretty much every country I know of, plenty of it isn't worshipping the ideology. You're just being overly defensive because you think there's a greater implication here other than that the mildest accusal of there being a pretty sizable conservative boomer otaku populace to market to especially in the 80s, some of which do go a little further than just "damn the king tiger is so cool" but that's not an accusation I'm leveling at Katoki, Izubuchi, Akitaka or anyone for merely liking the Geara Zulu.Sorry you're gonna have to pretend I posted a picture of the zeon flag from 0083 hereI'm not gonna edit my post after typing it and forgetting there was no images left, nor post this bullshit in the new thread
>>23498818other than the fucked up proportions this is great
>>23499576>liking tanks makes you conservativeWhat the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
