Count Thrashula posted:"Presented" is a strong word. Daban's stuff only has a production code for identification (in this case, 8818). No trademarked words (Gundam, Barbatos, MG, etc.) anywhere to be found. I think we should generally be getting the official bandai releases, but I'll admit to buying the PG Avalanche Exia, which was top tier.

Speaking of Daban, and for those who don't frequent the discord, Daban has teased that they are working on a Model Kit-ified KO of the Metal Structure Nu Gundam, with included Fin Funnels.

This was the really nice one that's about two feet tall and cost a thousand bucks from p-Bandai. It also had a bunch of accessories sold separately like the funnels, catwalks, maintenance workers, etc.

Tarquinn posted:Why is it in Eva01 colors? Cross series merchandise. There's a lot of Evangelion merch that ties in with other series, like Transformers or Mechatro WeGo. Godzilla just has the bonus of having an Anno movie of its own. (Also there's an official Evangelion and Godzilla crossover movie that played at Universal Studios.)

This one has full fin effects included, and I suspect that's why it's PBandai, and hopefully a more traditional version makes its way to retail.

Considering recent HGs I've built, on that Rose I would expect the blue trim on the foot guards and the knee triangles to be stickers. Maybe the blue piece on the crotch, maybe the yellow piece on the chest, but I really don't expect that to be a sticker. Everything else looks lit could be reasonable done with color separated parts. Especially since you can see the yellow stripe on the side of the torso, that suggests pretty strongly to me that most if not all of the yellow on the torso is yellow pieces

The top of the cape doesn't look like it could be a sticker unless they cut it to get around the pieces there. I guess they could go on after though.

Maybe its just because I'm a little extra upset because Rose Gundam is pretty close at the top of my wishlist, but they really need to cool it with the p-bandai poo poo, their mainline hg offering has been dire the past year or so, and I thought they just only make variations of generally existing/available suits p-bandai anyway!  I dunno, maybe bandai is a company still getting hit with supply chain crunches and they can only batch out so much of so many kits now

The plus side to HG is that there is an immense variety. The downside is that said immense variety means there's going to be a number of kits that become bestsellers and hundreds of kits that are considered too niche so they go to O Bandai. Still mad I wasn't able to nab that GM Spartan.

Unfortunately, in those kind of cases the retail version is always announced first. For better or worse, PB isn't the slap dash palette swap outlet it used to be.

I'm surprised there's no Lfrith Mass Production Type announced for P-Bandai yet, people seem to like the Lfrith and Aerial.

Stairmaster posted:i cant get it to stand on its two feet is that normal for this kit? You'll need to spread the legs out quite a bit and have the toes pointing out much further. Just went and looked at mine and it's basically squatting, with the toes forming almost a 90 degree angle. In general, having the feet pointing straight forward makes a mecha look stiff, like it's in the docking bay. If you want them to look like they're in the middle of action, having the legs and feet splayed a bit makes for a much more human-like pose. The Nightingale also has to compete with how goddamn big its feet are- its legs need to be pretty splayed out just to have room under it for the feet to set.
