So after the dust has long settled, what did everyone think of the 7" US Arch Enemy line. I only saw two pairings released, the Wing zero/Talgeese III and then the R782 and Geelog set.
Anyone see more? Am I the only one that misses this set?

Correct me if I'm wrong: I believe there's another one, the Strike Gundam's in launcher configuration that was released under that line, although it was a sole release, and no enemy mecha from gundam seed was released along. Edit: Bandai should have released Shiro Amada's Gundam EZ8 and Norris Packard's Gouf Custom under this line as well  |

They were great. Especially the good guys. The RX and the Wing Zero were great. Actually the Talgeese was really good also.

Hoo... Apparently I was wrong. The version that was packaged under the Arch Enemy line was the Aile Strike version, www.rixrobots.com/GundamAile.htm, while the Launcher Strike, albeit reported as the same Strike Gundam with the Aile Strike configuration, was packaged as "7.5" Launcher Strike Gundam". |

Always thought that was strange. Gundam was really taking off around tbat time especially with the dub of Seed on the air... would have been a great time to realease a couple of sets of Arch Enemy. But I guess people voted with their wallets.
I only had the Wing ones but saw the other stuff. The RX78 and Char Custom looked good but had that odd original anime look from the series I didn't like (angular but rounded ...kind of a half between super-robot and real-robot).
And the single Aile Strike didn't look anything like the previous ones... more like an oversized MSiA.

-Forgot about the strike! Indeed I never saw the enemy there.... I really wonder if Bandai halted Gundams around then do to profit. Specifically, the Target stores that I saw them in sold out. -Bet the other toy lines made more profit  Detail = less profit. snif. -Great line of toys though. |

The only ones I ever saw in local stores were the RX-78 and the Gelgoog, and I regretted not picking up the Gelgoog.
It is really too bad that the line died too quickly.

I picked them all up except the Aile Strike as I already had the diecast chogokin version. I was disappointed that the line didn't survive longer. Much better quality and larger size than MSiA.

I dare to say that it is even better than Robot Spirit in term of paint work ie, panel-lining and weathering.
