Those rivets... are they really necessary? Do modern jets have rivets coming off the body?

I can go either way for this guy. I think the deciding factor will definitely be the paint master. Will they add all the wear and tear details etc. I wonder how it'll look. Cause I'm not really a fan of the 3A 3Zero products, but I can't imagine a Jeager without the rough edges.

I wish I was a little more familiar with "Daiaporon". All I know is that it's football themed. Unfortunately, I never grew up with this anime, and there's not a lot on the anime stream sites. Why is it that so many gaijin get erections for this guy? I mean, I love the old school aesthetic too, but I need a little more before I can complain about minute details, or to throw half a grand at it. I wish I could be drooling like everybody else. Help me out.

Great pic Kuma! I guess this means you posted a video review? I own the piece, but immediately got turned off by the stand, and mine also has a super loose waist

Hmmmm I gotta say, it looks nice. I don't really care for the stylization, but being that I missed the beagle/toynami release, I might have to get this... depending on the price.

It's been kinda quiet here for a long while. Too many official release :lol: But finally the Seven Sword Weapon Kit is almost ready, complete the KO before the official? B)) no release date yet, but very soon It's too bad the clear green pieces on the KO are so cloudy. It's the one major strike against them (that and the mediocre Tampo printing) but what can you expect when you're paying close to half the retail price of the legit figure, right?

Does anyone know what happened to the GundamGuy blog?
I was a big fan of it and would check it daily. It hasn't been updated for almost a month! ☹️

I gotta say, I'm curious. However, from first glance, Taobao doesn't seem like it's friendly to the west (unless you use a 3rd party, in which case I can't seem to find the toy). Anyone here taking the plunge?

Not sure how I feel about the Kaiser. Feels like I'm going to have to pay $200 for a oversized SRC. The completist in me is going to get it regardless, But the SOC fanboy in me feels like it needs more gimmicks to convince me it's worth the trouble.

Yeah, I ordered one from Nippon Yasan when it first released. With shipping it cam out to $460 some dollars. I can post unboxing photos when it shows up if anyone is interested. Unfortunately, it's on a slow boat, so I probably won't receive it for another two-three months. I'm excited to see all 4 Pg unicorn kits lined up in my toy room.

Looks like no articulation, and that box is underwhelming. If I'm going to spend that much on a statue, I expect the packaging to be as much a work of art as the figure.

I was just about to post something about the Tactical Arms... I thought it looked like trash on the MG, but what the designers at Bandai have been doing with Seed designs have made me reconsider that opinion. I still think it's ridiculous, but it's a ridiculous that I want to experience in my display case.

The difference between the regular damashii's and the Ver Ka robot damashii's is quality and detail. Fortunately the new Katoki Hajime have Tampo printed graphics printed on it. They all seem to be finished with a top coat, and I think they are mostly 1/144 scale. Non katoki related robot damashii's are at at questionable scale. Personally, I love Robot damashii. I collect the Aura Battler Dunbine releases, every A.N.I.M.E. releases, and the Ka releases

It's a tough call. The DX defijitely had issues, but it is the centerpiece of my Mazinger collection. To make matters a little more complicated, if you get it, you'll probably want to get the scrander too. If it were me, I'd check out online shops like Mandarake or Jungle, or auction sites like Yahoo.jp. You'll definitely get the best prices there, But you'll have to pay out the nose for shipping. Will they re-release it? I dunno. But It seems like there's forum members who have the inside scoop on Bandai, and if they haven't said anything here, then I'm going to assume it's not going to happen for a little while (at least the next couple years). Good luck!

I have no official word on the raiser reissue yet but I firmly believe it's in the pipeline as a tamashii web exclusive. There is no way bandai would miss out on the chance to maximize the reissue of 7 Swords. I'm guessing the news will be out just before July or soon right after 7 Swords is released. And if we are lucky, a second run of the 7 Swords/G will be announced around that time. It makes perfect sense if bandai wants to sell as many Raiser as possible. Also I have a hunch that the end of year tamashii event exclusive will be trans am 7 Swords with raiser set, which will be followed by a online lucky draw or march/April 2018 tamashii web limited release. If Bandai really wants to milk it, the could follow it up with a trans an variant, a red test color variant and then some. I guess it's just a matter of time. As an Indy toy designer/producer, studying Gundam and Bandai has been instrumental to helping me understand collector and producer mentality. It's pretty amazing.
