There's already a Kyoukai Senki weapon set that comes with two pilebunkers. Also that's just the existing modular "prototype" AMAIM they did, with a new colour scheme, backpack and chestplate.

If they're gonna go this hard on rehashing the same body for a third time, they could at least do an accessory set of customizable heads, the "prototype" one is pretty boring compared to the actual show/sidestory AMAIM's.

Its kinda weird that they're doing two seperate modular kit /weapon/accessory lines now.

four if you count all the 30 minute lines as seperate but who'd do that. The 30 m fantasy looks neat though, the base body looks kinda Ultraman-armor ish

The holes on the amaim stuff look even more pronounced somehow because they've all got raised rings around them.

I'm kinda eh on the Bunyip custom tbh, as it loses the silhouette of the Bunyip Boomerang, and just winds up a busy grey block compared to the original's distinct lines.


Also Bandai's creating a Gunpla Option Parts line, so you can get all the accessory bits for customization. First three items in the line are the Strike Gundam's Aile Pack, the Sword AND Launcher Packs together, and a set of hands in various poses. And yes, you can Perfect Strike the Packs together.

I imagine the Stein Ka Narrative will replace the curent Stein Narrative so it's nice they did the same kind of colour separation for the sleeve markings that the RG Sinanju got.

I was thinking about this and I'm wondering if engineering experience from the RG line is backporting into the HG lines, because the first instance of surprising color separation I ran into was on the new GM kits and having the crotch V be color separated--something usually relegated to stickers in my experience.

It makes me wonder if we'll be seeing some more RG features becoming standard on HGs.

My 8 year old would absolutely love weedcat.

The sinanju has three version kas that's crazy. I mean the design loving owns but still. I'm so desperate for new 1/100 scale kits I'll take whatever bandai does at this point.

It wouldn't surprise me. Especially if you look at Entry Grades, and expect something basic and sticker-heavy only to find they're better-engineered than some HG's from a decade ago.

In hindsight kinda glad that I passed on the MG Sinanju Steins so far

I am okay with an MG Narrative but I dunno, I feel like there's a lot of other MG options they could have went with (like imagine if instead of the Narrative, we got an MG Calibarn or something). But if they end up making an MG A-Pack, even through P-Bandai, I'd definitely pick it up

The Macross kit announcement was a 1/100 VF-19 Kai Fire Sound Booster variant. I'm a little underwhelmed by a) a variant of the first release and b) a Macross 7 kit, but at least they're still making them.

Personally, every new Narrative product just feels disappointing. The Narrative as a whole always just felt to me like they had two super popular designs, the Nu and the Unicorn, so they just mashed them together hoping it'd be twice as popular as both of them, rather than actually making something new that might not be as popular as either. And now they just keep marketing it when, to me at least, it just feels less interesting than either.

To be fair, there are a lot of differences from the YF-19 prototype to the production VF-19 and then to the further customized VF-19 Kai that Basara flies

from https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4769
Not the best example, but these two toys were made by the same manufacturer and highlight a number of the differences.

Supposedly they're keeping the leadership and the extra money will be used to increase their global presence but that'll only make number go up fast enough for a year or two.

I saw that Gundam Base pop up store was going to Louisiana next month so I checked their schedule to see if they'd be stopping in Houston on the way. It turns out their schedule includes two stops in Texas. Lubbock and Waco.

Godspeed on your 1400-piece journey to assemble it. :patriot:

Well, I still have lining and stickers to do, but it's about yay big depending on how you position the guns and tail:



Also I counted and there was either 1501 pieces or 1503 pieces (depending on if you count two wires to string the bandoliers together as pieces) which seems like a missed opportunity to say 'over 1500 pieces'.

The Spinner Rodi had more screentime, an ace custom, and even has one of the arms released as part of a kit, and it still doesn't even have a P-Bandai kit. No reason to expect different here.)

(It's the only design from season 1 without a kit! We're so close!)
