>>23701409What current shift in priorities?
>>23701514Sunrise is more focused on Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers and Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe right now that not much movement is happening for the Brave franchise. Then again, SOC King Exkaiser only just got a brush-up, and Good Smile is sucking up all series licenses like there's no tomorrow, to the point where the Action Toys J-Decker might be close to getting cancelled. I'll just list down every toy and other media news next post.
>>23697236>>23697301What's he trying to accomplish by mutely spamming/dumping images in a thread?

Bump
>>23701674What do those other Sunrise projects have to do with Brave though? Brave has been a legacy IP they passively milk licensing money off for the last two decades. Sunrise doesn't really need to do anything, >>23701678 are all by 3rd parties.
Finally finished J-Decker after years of being lazy in keeping up with it. Fucking great ending, no notes.
>>23704583What were your favorite and least favorite parts of J-Decker by the way?
>>23704831Hard to say, since it took me so long to actually finish it so the first half of the show is a bit of a blur. In general, my favorite things about the series were the interactions between the Braves and the humans, and the discussions about AI and emotion, humanity, etc. That sort of stuff was really fantastic.Least favorite I guess would be Yuuta's voice maybe? I got used to it but it's still a bit grating. I really like him as a protagonist though. Otherwise I would've preferred if the final fight lasted longer. Its conclusion felt a bit underwhelming.
>>23705456J-Decker is probably one of my favorite fictional pieces when it comes to the topic and themes of AI.
>>23705456https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMesyV85FR4Gonna samefag reply, but episode 35's ending really solidified my stance on J-Decker themes of robots with a "human heart". Deckard's quote at the end "The remaining 1.09% may be the human side of me" being one of the series' highlights for me.

Higher quality pictures.
>>23720858Buy. Looks so much better than the recent Takara Tomy one
>>23720920If you want full articulation out of it, it looks like Exkaiser needs to be partially disassembled. Takara Tomy changed it to fold up into a new storage slot for similar articulation reasonsI imagine when GSC eventually puts out their own, it'll be accurate to the original toy / show at the expensive of course of being a brick but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

>>23732830Not even top five Braves. Fighbird, Dagwon, Da-Garn, Betterman, and J-Decker were all better. There was even a better version of GGG and it was called Webdiver.
>>23732834I was there and bought a fighbird. Unfortunately for me, I went on day 2 and 3. On day 2 they had Da Garn, Ga-On, Black Might Gaine, Granbird, Fighbird, and 7 Changer for sale. And a Dancouga that was the equivalent for 400 usd. I sorta chickened out and went back earlier this morning. They ran out of Granbirds, Ga-Ons, 7 Changers, and Da Garns. Doesn't look like anyone bought Black Might Gaine though. I'm going to buy loads more of these. no more gunpla.
Are these going to be limited in quantity with prices going up year after year

I was greatly disappointed that Super Robot Wars Y wouldn't have a Brave series in the base game and relegated Da-Garn to DLC 2, but I definitely wasn't expecting an OG Brave. You didn't have to do this Bamco, you already had my money for Ryoma and the Getter Noir.

>>23744514>>23744554Not disagreeing but the red/black color scheme + cylindrical limbs reminds me of Mazinger more than a Brave. imo Braves should have an alt mode. I cannot tell if it has one.
>>23745550>>23744514The red and black color scheme mention and cylindrical forearms made me think of GaoGaiGar.

>>23745555>>23745550Exis changes modes thrice during the final battle, although only the last one gets a new sprite (and just for the attack). It makes me feel like they wrote the final battle before realizing there wouldn't be enough resources for so many variations.
>>23745555>>23746150Just watched a video of its attacks. Now I think it's a Brave-ified Mazinger. I think I'm just stretching it but>Rocket Punch>Chest Beam attack>Red/Black color with cylindrical limbsIt's just missing an altmode or smaller form
>>23723228King Exkaiser's transformation requires something to be sacrificed, unfortunately, because going by the show, King Exkaiser's hips, knees and shoulders line up with Exkaiser's hips, knees and shoulders and that results in stocky proportions and limited articulation.I think the recently announced SMP has the best balance. SoC compromises a lot to prioritize the proportions and looks as King Exkaiser (and IMO that's fine considering how good he looks and moves) and Toyrise is a bit of a mess and doesn't even try to replicate the Form Up sequence
