It's pretty massive, to be fair. There's a picture of it next to the mg sinanju and it has a ton of leds and stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why it costs that much. However that thing becomes 260 dollars once you convert into Canadian, and considering the size of the package I would probably get hit with a customs fee as well.

Grabbed an RG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, planning to practice on a pair of HGAC Leos when those come out. Will probably grab a RG Tallgeese depending on local versus online prices.

The Leos and Tallgeese would probably be easy to do, but the Gold Frame looks like hell. How do you guys usually separate parts for top coating? By limbs and further separation for finicky bits?

so, how intentional was it that the Hilariously Enormous Gundam With Addon That Makes It More Enormous was named the Excess Gundam? Like, was that always the point, was it a happy accident, was it a joke off an original S gundam etc. I have no experience with the series/story it's from.

It's not called Excess. Ex-S stands for Extraordinary Superior.

I know it's not literally named Excess, but it's kind of...right there. Like an ork warboss named Mag Uruk Thraka.

If your just top coating, by limbs is fine. Give them a spray then once it's dry articulate the parts a bit and hit it again to get the parts that were missed. Go easy on the covering, light coats and build it up.

The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced the Gundam Vual is irredeemably ugly. The only good parts are the shields and the pink.

What, you don't like his pink crocs, his naked arms, his hourglass waist, or his ridiculous alien face? :v:

(i'm gonna buy him at some point he's one of the funkier IBO designs and I prefer funky designs)

The waist and arms are basically generic IBO, they're fine. I like the pink, though the actual design of the feet is bad, and the face is so bad.

I just can't figure out how to make it look good. I bought one for the pink and shields, but now that I look at everything else about it, I'm thinking I might just steal them for another kit and let the rest serve as spare parts for IBO suits.

Oh man, I wasn't even gonna touch the GN-X IV Type.GBF because I didn't quite like the looks of it in Bandai's pictures, but somehow the unpainted, unstickered shots on schizophonic9's review actually make it look a lot better.

Between my April and May P-Bandai shipments and the new Build Divers releases it's gonna be a tough few months for the backlog. :smithicide:

Does the GN-X IV have 4 eyes with the bottom 2 obscured or are they just gone?

The kit does look good, but might cheap out and get the Ogre instead.

The initial 3 are RX-78-2, Crossbone and Nightingale. Dunno that they've announced any more than that.

They're a fine store but I don't know how much it would save you in time and money vs importing from Japan. Do you have experience in how long it takes to import stuff from the US? Is it just a couple of days?

Well, my dollar shave club orders are pretty timely, that's about as far as my USA imports go. BBTS also seems to carry a handful of P-Bandai kits I was eyeing up as well.
