Gundam Universe Sinanju looks pretty cool. This line is somehow still alive, I hope the next wave include the Zeta, ZZ or F91.
Is the metal build barbatos retail or p-bandai ?
I really, really, really like Gundam Universe
>>11644393p bandai for japan, retail for us
>>11644165for about $20 this is nice. Is Sinanju also using the same frame as other renewal?
>>11644417I'm finding them much more tempting than regular RD releases now.
/a/g/ tourist here. Where can i find figures like pic rel? Like they are mechs but not like Gundam or Code Geass ones. More like Titanfall or BLAME kind of robots, military oriented but blocky, idk how to call them. Thanks in advance
>>11644643That's a model kit. Try the model kit thread.
>>11644441That explains why I didn't see it on the usual nip shops then. Why do retail in one region and p-bandai in another for the same item anyway ?
>>11645025IBO is pretty popular in the US, they must think it will sell much better herethey did the same thing with the god gundam
>>11644643JoyToy makes a bunch of figures along the lines you’re looking for, heard good things but don’t have any personal experience.
>>11645086Based on what I heard the joints are awful for the earlier figures, doesn't later products
>>11644417Turn A is my favourite Gubdam series but zi was a dumbass and didn't collect any of the Robot Spirits back in the day or anything else but some gunpla. That display is awesome. When did they make that hover ship thing?
>>11645509Can confirm. From the god of war mechs on it's good. I have two of those, one from before (pic related) and the big 1/18 one with a metal frame. The old ones have ratcheted joints and no additionnal hands, just one pair of hands with articulated fingers and no part to properly hold weapons. I think older ones are worth it only if you can find them at a cheap price, which won't happen nowadays unless you're buying second hand from someone who has no clue
>>11645580Its the old Msia Gallop.
>>11644165I want TV DSH honestly.And another 00 suit.
>>11645947I miss MSIA so much. They would make figures of fucking anything.
>>11646153Same. Some of those old MSIA toys are still damn good even by today's standards. Like the Gouf Custom, that is a solid action figure. Nothing falls off, the plastic is strong, it has good range of motion. It was one of my all time favorites as a kid. With the Ver ANIME line now seemingly dead in the water, makes me curious what might replace it.
>>11645947I have a new holy grail thanks. >>11646153I love all the G Gundam stuff. I still have the Grizzly Gundam and Zeus Gundam somewhere.
>>11646177You can blame the absurd prices. No idea where they pulled the price tag for the HS or Asshimar.
anyone here has the Ghost Gundam? I just read the manga in one sitting and I kinda dig it
>>11646887Which one?
>>11646946Either the green or the silver one
>>11646980I mean which line? RD? Metal Build? By green one you probably mean RD. It's a bit finicky because of the transformation, but otherwise it's not bad. There's like 3 different versions of it however.
>>11647033RDthe one with the fuckton of flaming effect parts
>>11645947Fuck it's so expensive now even on old Japanese listings. I'll just save my money for metal robot Turn A stuff. Bandai will do that eventually right?
>>11647256I have ghost gundam, it is alright and does whatever you need it to do but ill never fucking use the transformation gimmick. If you insist on getting it, get the latest phantom gundam repair one as it comes with the most accessories
Metal build Nirvash redesign sucks, but I'm still buying it. We will never get another option. I'm sorry for being part of the problem.
>>11646376Realizing this, I've now become somewhat un-hyped for the possibility of a Ver ANIME MP Guncannon. I figured that might be next in the line up considering Bandai backtracked and released all the other missing MS. But the MP Guncannon is only ever shown using one machine gun. No shield no beam saber, no bazooka. If it does get made. It will only come with like a few sets of hands, one machine gun, firing effects pieces, and that's it. But I'll still cost 80-100 dollars I bet.
i think im just moving over to gunpla at this pointA.N.I.M.E. isn't getting much, the other lines are expensive, lmao metal build/robo-dou
>>11648040Robo-dou is a fucking bargain compared to ANIME at this point.
>>11647771>I'm sorry for being part of the problem.
I have the reissue of the Kampfer on preorder at HLJ and the release date was December 13th, and my order hasn't been fulfilled yet. This normal for HLJ?
>>11647771I feel like I got monkey pawed so badly.The Nirvash is one of my favorite designs, and I've always wanted a MB, MRD or Ver ANIME of it.But the MB design is so bad. The whole appeal of the Nirvash is how it's this athletic and nimble mech that can move around like an acrobat. Meanwhile the MB design looks like a chunky tank.
I think I'm going to end up buying the MB X-3, it is my favorite crossbone but the fact it includes a chunk of plastic to recreater a scene instead of the effect parts for the I-Fields (which they gave to the fucking patch release) really annoys me
Does anyone here have the MB Hi-Nu with the Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher set? I absolutely do not fuck with the Hi-Nu's design but I want to get the big ass gun to display with my other MBs. Is it possible to have other MBs grip the handles or is it just designed for the Hi-Nu's grippy hands?
I wish they did the other bigs
>>11651977Me too. I wish they did the other Jaegers...
>>11651977I know its old but I want a reissue, doesn't seem like anyone else is ever gonna make another big o.
>>11652768I think Flame Toys are doing one

Has anyone who owns the HAL from the Armored Core line had any issues with the thumbs when holding the rifle? I've heard that over time the thumbs can bend and break from the weight.
Are there any clear stands that work well with Metal builds?
>>11655903I wouldnt trust any clear plastic stands with metal builds considering how big and heavy they are. Hell I cant even trust the clear connection pieces that comes with my metal builds in general.
>>11655903maybe a caliber wings stand could hold one up, but the adapter wouldn't fit
>>11655261I would not be surprised if that’s the case, but the instructions do explicitly say that you should use a stand arm to support the weight of the rifle, it’s pretty fucking big relative to the figure and physics are gonna physics.
Goddamn fucking shitThese are gonna be so hard to get a hold of
>>11657224>wing shitBig easy pass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76E3wpTPSYERX-78NT-1FA GUNDAM NT-1 FULL ARMOR EQUIPMENT
>>11655261Yes almost immediately, I assumed I ham hands it but if its a common issue I guess I can be glad it wasn't me. For now I have a stand under the gun supporting it, I'm honestly afraid to take the gun out of the hand out of fear I'll rip the thumb off with it.
if the price drops on amazon after you buy an item can you cancel the order before the item ships and buy it again at the lower price?
>>11661402No Mr Amazon blocks it
>>11661449Damn, well someone's gonna be happy when they see they can get a YF-21 on Amazon for $200 because of me
Might be the wrong thread to ask, but are there any modern lines like the Armor Girls Project? I like some of the designs from that line, but the figures are pretty old.
>>11662802There are some mech girl figures, but the majority of it lies in model kits. Kotobukiya does a lot, chinese companies too. Ask on either /gpg/ they'll give you names, I can't remember them
