Neither the new RG nor the inevitable next MG have been announced. RG Johnny Ridden's Zaku II and MG GM Sniper Custom are P-Bandai.

EDIT: ...Is what I sincerely thought given Bandai's recent practice, but jokes on me. They really are general release.

I'm actually surprised. Both of those would've been easy to justify as P-Bandai.

Yeah, I have to question the logic that makes MG Heavyarms Custom a p-bandai, and RG Johnny Rotten's Zaku an official release.

Seems rather strange on a popularity and unique sculpted assets note.

It's probably to give the design team a breather after managing to achieve the goddamn Unicorn Gundam not being a shrapnel-launching piece of poo poo.

Speaking of pieces of poo poo, I got the Aesculapius and it's as terrible as I expected articulation and color separation-wise. I'm just a sucker for G-Unit designs.

It's impressively stanky; 0 double jointed limbs, rubber hands, and every gold part (claws, fin, dick tip, vents) is a sticker. Crab Mode also has single-piece sculpted square tubes, in case you were worried that its arms might achieve right angle poses.

...but it's still a Gundam that cosplays as a Z-Gok, so I have no regrets.

A general release Mg is always welcome, it's just a design that's kind of "meh."

Guess they're saving their big guns for the December release.

But Johnny > Matsunaga. He's the guy who took home a bronze medal in murder, but everyone thinks he's Char, who's cooler and handsomer and a newtype, so Johnny just kind of has to keep explaining that, no, Char couldn't be here, but he's the Crimson Lightning, and isn't that good enough?

Also, unlike Shin, Johnny never quit a cushy government gig over Side 3 going "Hahahaha, NO." to Gato's demands that Zeon rise again.

I'm quite happy with the new announcements. The BD 2 means we're one step closer to getting a revive of the basic ground Gundam, and the RG Zaku 2 was one of my favorite builds ever, so the high mobility type will be fun as well.

And there's also that origin Zaku Half Cannon thing.

Turns out almost all of the new releases from GM's Counterattack are P-Bandai.

I guess Island Wars' line of kits didn't do that hot. :negative:

I think they should rename the Origin/MSD HG line to Zaku Suit Origin, More Zaku Discoveries. They've got a standard release of the Half Cannon and a Kycilia Zabi Zaku 1 custom coming out, as well as the C5 that is just around the corner. I love the Origin Zaku design, but this is getting a little ridiculous.

Char's Zaku II
Zaku 1 Slender/Denim Custom
Zaku High Mobility Type Gaia/Mash Custom
Zaku High Mobility Type Ortega Custom
Zaku 1 Black Tristars ver.
Zaku II C/C5 Type
Zaku 1 Kycillia Zabi Custom
Zaku Half Cannon
Char's Zaku 1
Char's Zaku 1 Customized

The only P-Bandai on this list is the Zaku 1 Black Tristars version. I do like the Half Cannon though. It's underslung arm guns remind me of the XV-88 Broadside suit from 40K.

EDIT: Shoot, I forgot the Zaku High Mobility Test Type from P-Bandai. The one based on the prototype from 08th MS Team.

The GM, Ninpulse, and Star Burning Gundam are all regular releases, with two accessory packs. Assuming Mao and Fellini's are P-Bandai's like the Z'gok (I'm assuming you saw it confirmed, since I haven't seen that), it puts it pretty near an even divide.

Kind of figuring the Psycho's a P-Bandai too, then?

Want to trade some general release zakus for some of your p-bandai? That list is only going to get longer.

Yep it's that type of marker, which I am loving so far. It doesn't have a problem with PS plastic which is the majority of sprues in most kits. ABS is the softer type that they use for a lot of joint parts instead of the rubbery connector stuff. In modern kits any ABS sprues are more clearly marked then before, but all sprues will have an indication somewhere of the type of plastic.




By the way, what do you use to clean with the alcohol? Q-tips seem too big and absorbent.

Ah, I don't touch the ABS parts or any connectors with the marker, that would explain it. to clean, I use Tamiya cotton swabs, they're basically q-tips but are pointy and have a small surface area. They're like $5 for 50 at Hobby Lobby.

Some do, some don't. The Nichijou one comes with a little Professor and Nano but I don't think the EVA01 one comes with a little Shinji.
