Where does Bandai's newfound love for Dijeh comes from? What's next, Camille's Rick Dijeh?
Maybe bandai's moving on to milking the zeta onward suits finally
>>23782310Their strategy for RE/100 had them doing nicher suits that hadn't had a modern model, a few of which were made to alongside a MG release, so when they did the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0 it made sense to do the Dijeh alongside it. I'm assuming it sold pretty good because it wasn't long after that they started trying to fill out the Zeta roster in the HG line, and they did a Dijeh there too. They musta realised giving these nicher suits a bit more love keeps fans happy, because the Dijeh's had a fair few appearances in recent times.
>>23782361>a fair few appearances>Char's Rick Dijeh (Traversia)>Amuro's Rick Dijeh>Rick Dijeh in NT
>>23782361What's the difference between a RE/100 and an MG?
>>23782310They can't release a new Nu or Grandpa kit every year so
>>23782310It's kinda the coolest "contrarian" MS since it's that one weird suit Amuro piloted making it an ace suit and its lesser well known(relatively) and doesn't really show up later unless you dig a little into manga or extra bullshit movies. It sits perfectly as a niche enough suit for real Gunda heads to appreciate. Hell I'm a big fan of it
>>23782365Only one of those is Rick (even though Traversia was used in space)>>23782406RE/100 is basically a MG sized HG.
>>23782421Like hell they cant
>>23782310They finally recognised how cool it is
The funniest part is that Amuro very well could have piloted Dijeh for longer than the Gundam.
>>23782310Same reason the Bolinoak Sammahn suddenly got a HG. The guy at the company who hated it finally died.
A limited P-Bandai run of a MG Dijeh would be cool, but since it got sent to RE/100 hell there's no chance of that now.
So unwilling to release any zeon or titans ms as mg or rg that they're willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel with the goofiest shit imaginable just because Amuro piloted it for a couple episodes.
>>23783601What is it with bandai in the last 5+ years they refuse to release anything unless it's a white hero suit? Shit is boring.
>>23783456That guy was right
they make another nu gundam kit every two weeks, can we please have something else from char's counterattack? a crumb of geara doga, sir, please
>>23783601Spectacularly dumb motherfucker
>>23783948didn't they just release this
>>23783614What's crazy is when they'll make something that's obviously ugly and parade it around.
>>23782365Why Dijeh's? I still don't understand, wasn't the Rick Dias already the space version? He'll, the Rick Dias also had an upgrade, why not use that?
>>23783998it's because it was originally meant for earth-only that some faggots think it's "cool" to intentionally re-jigger it for space, or vice versalike when the blue destiny units were sent into space, or the weird non-canon space-version of shiro's EZ8, or those weird fucking ground-use variants for the delta gundam, sazabi, etc
>>23784009It feels even more bizarre since we only see Amuro using one. Why the fuck would Char go out of his way to find one? All those Neo Zeon suits he could use as a base, but yes let's use this ground type ms for the psychoframe tests.I know they had the excuse with Amuro to explain the Dijeh situation, but it's still retarded even in-universe.
>>23784015At the point that the MSV-R Johnny Ridden manga takes place, it's roughly UC 0090 or 0091, I don't recall exactly. All I remember from shitty scans is that the Dijeh was donated to Char's group by some benefactor and they didn't bother mentioning who or why. Also remember that this manga is different from Moon Gundam which takes place around the same time but they're not sharing\collaborating on writing or mechanical designs, so they're gonna conflict or overlap with each other.>All those Neo Zeon suits he could use as a baseIf you mean Haman's Neo Zeon, Char seems to have distanced himself from Haman's Neo Zeon, they don't seem to share any of the same ships, equipment, MS, uniforms, or crew. But I guess some games and manga have tied Char's early psyco-weapon development to random bits and pieces from Haman's Neo Zeon. Funfax: the list of prototype psycommu weapons that Char was developing only gets longer over time due to the game\manga\MSV\novel lore getting increasingly fat and bloated over time.
>>23783995Filtered lol
>>23784053says the guy who didn't buy the model
>>23784060Cope and seethe, yes I have.
>>23784062nah, fuck off bandai
>>23782310Any examples of this newfound love?
>>23783952Spectacularly beaten wife syndrome retardation
>>23784145How many mobile suits do you know that got both Amuro and Char custom units?
>>23784220GundamZero ShikiRick/Schuzrum Dias (maybe)
>>23784039Aren't we at like 7 prototypes by now, or did they add more?
>>23784039MSV-R Johnny Ridden and Moon Gundam line-up just fine (even if that wasn't intended).
>>23782310It's from Zeta, Amuro piloted the "only" one, thematically it's a Gelgoog to the Hyaku Shiki's Gundam, and they've also retconned it to have Gundam eyes behind the monoeye. I bet they're upset that they can't milk it more.Also Chaika model kit fucking when.
>>23784936It also got a Zeta-like face behind the snout.You can see it on Amuro's Rich Dijeh, but regular Dijeh is like that as well.As for Gundam eyes, it just got the empty eyesockets IIRC. You could technically make it a triclops.
>>23782310It's just a good mobile suit in general.
>>23782310They finally remembered other Zeta protagonist suits.
>>23782310Amuro
>>23792430>hey so we're doing a covert op right>why does this guy's suit have his personal logo on it>shhh newtypes can hear you
>>23792679I think the idea was that he got a bunch of body doubles that had used the same emblem as well.
