Looks awesome, now the question is if stuff holds together or is it a hand grenade....Also maybe just me but I rarely put my figures in poses where knee bending beyond 90 degrees is important so if it doesn't, oh well. This should be on a stand anyways.

This should be on a stand anyways. Probably leans towards hand grenade side of things. Unless the MB engineering part holds true. |

Hi Res looking not bad i guess, in case i missed GFFMC, i'll just get the hires, the design is very super robot/magic/ knight styled Wing zero.
Spotted screw on its wing binder meaning i can fix it in future if it become loose.
The wings on GFFmc probably heavier, hope the joints in binder has good durability

I don't understand Bandai's strategy. The whole point (to me, at least) of having the Premium Bandai exclusive is to sell those less-widely-known figures to hardcore fans. So Bandai takes the pre-orders first to reduce the risk of overproduction. In contrast, the popular figures should get mass produced and wide release to the stores.
But Bandai is doing the opposite! Case in point, the Gold Frame and the Blue Frame cannot be more well-known than Wing Gundam Zero. But yet those two (especially the Blue Frame, which is basically a re-colored variant of the Red Frame) got wide releases. Yet the Wing Gundam gets the exclusive release. I am sure there must be some math that says selling an ultra popular figure on your own instead of a distributor would net a higher profit per item, but it is still making no sense.
I am speaking as someone who got a pre-order. But I still think Bandai is acting stupidly.

AMEN.. bro. I repeat, looks like they don't have interest in us, damn! Bandai, before the Strike Freedom the G. Wing was my favorite one and now we have the oportunity to have this model in the Gffmc. but bandai and the stupid way they have to do the things wanna f**k the ocasion. in my personal opinion the gffmc is better line that metal build (in construction aspect of his models). I repeat I need this piece for obligation, my collection demanded it.  |

Bandai makes more money by selling as exclusive than wide release by skipping the middle man. The more exclusives you buy the more money they make.  |

I am speaking as someone who got a pre-order. But I still think Bandai is acting stupidly. Two theories - 1. They are doubting themselves on GFFMC line because of Unicorns. In Asia, unicorns price are dropped to like low $100 (i got mine at that price from Asia so i know). The quality and fame of GFFMC line was just not as great as metal build. To me this is more of a come back attempt, and they are testing water to see how much they can get sales by going web exclusive. This also create hype and get people to talk! 2. They obviously can go wide release due to Wing Zero, undoubtedly one of the most popular Gundam in the world, and they don't because they know they can sell as much as releasing wide by going exclusive. |

Bandai makes more money by selling as exclusive than wide release by skipping the middle man. The more exclusives you buy the more money they make. I agree with this in terms of pure math. However, you can say that for all their figures (called "vertical integration"). But they don't do that with all their figures. So there must be a calculation somewhere to decide what to release widely and what to release as exclusive. |

Anyone noticed the yellow detail on the figures chest on the promo video? Man, I'm so glad that they removed the yellow bit on the chest for this figure, I noticed this when I first saw the promo video. It seems that they removed it now. Glad that they removed it! *phew*  |

I just get the feeling, P-bandai prioritize more on japan, US 2nd, then asia for leftover products
