Gammatron 64 posted:I don't think the Neo Zeong was in the Unicorn novels, if I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure it's in Unicorn episode 7 because Bandai wanted to sell a big rear end model. To be fair the Banshee didn't get an upgrade in the novels or even anything outside of a different paint job and horn.

The Unicorn Phenex wasn't in the books or the show, Unicorn just prints money for Bandai. That's why they're doing the Origin movies, high quality animation of UC suits is the best advertisement they can get

I can see that being an online exclusive, it's different but not quite enough to get its own retail release.

I remember a while back that there was talk of a new service from Bandai for ordering frames, has that happened? And is it available outside of Japan?

Turned out to be a hoax I think. All of the usual parts order services have started back up again.

If you live in California (specifically the Bay Area), Tatsu Hobby is pretty rad since you can waive shipping costs by just driving over and picking them up. Otherwise your options are either GK parts (who are solid, but constantly backlogged by orders) and GG Infinite (who I have never tried before but are probably slow as balls because that is kind of their thing). Either way I wouldn't recommend parts ordering as a budget option because the cost balloons rapidly the more parts you want. Want to get, say, all of the unique runners on the MG FA Gundam? ~$21 per runner. There are five runners. Do the math. They're best when you have actually just lost a piece or two.

BlitzBlast posted:There's no source at all so I dunno why you're assuming Bandai announced it. Could be right off 2chan or something. GG Infinite seems to be taking preorders for it, so looks like it might well be the genuine article. I was a bit wary of the date as well, but considering they went as far as pricing it and that it's existence fairly reasonable reasonable, I figured it was 50-50 odds.

After watching episode 25 of Build Fighters a few times I've been seized by inspiration but there's one hole in my idea. Does anyone know a way to get the mantle from a Crossbone Full Cloth that would fit an HG scale kit? If I can get hold of one then my future Crossbone Maoh Full Cloth will be awesome.

The only thing that would work is if you buy the Robot Damashii Full Cloth X1 and use parts off of that.

You'd be better off just buying some fabric and making it yourself if you want something to fit on a HG Crossbone.

He's right, by mantle I was referring to the huge solid shield that goes around its shoulders. That's totally a mantle.

I thought I'd share some cool paint jobs I've seen on tumblr. This one had the tag Qan[T] Dark Matter.   Its a much better red than the dark matter kit we got. And the sword effects are awesome. Did those come with the DM Exia?

Injecting-mold kits say "no". But it does look drat good though  . On a general Kampfer side-note, I kinda wish Bandai would've tossed in one of the Kampfer shotguns with the Amazing, because it has the butt-holster slot and grip to hold one of them and nothing else fits in the drat thing.

I've definitely seen a lot of digicamo paintjobs but it always looks really garish and bad to me. That one is pretty good though, as it's not too busy.

 And the 3.0 is done! Well I mean I still have to decal/topcoat the bazookas, gundam hammer, and beam javelin but I'm almost never going to use those so I'll just do them some other time.  I'm not really a big fan of the RG "decals absolutely everywhere" aesthetic, so I kept things simple. I also didn't like how the magenta decals looked, so I tried to avoid using any of them. Mostly succeeded, with the exception of the bazooka.  One of the cool things about the web-exclusive bonus pack is that they give you three full sets of decals. Because of this I got to do a lot of silly things, like having full shoulder decals on both sides and distributing the six ankle flap decals all over the body.  Obligatory Core Fighter shot. Should have painted Amuro, but gently caress getting him out of this thing. That's one kit done, way too many left. Probably going to focus on the V2 next.
