Opened up all my recent A.N.I.M.E. purchases since Z'Gok, Char's Zaku & Guncannon just arrived. I'm just missing a handful of releases from this line now. The only sore spot is Char's Zaku's legs are comically loose.
I want that prototype Dom... Metal build real type knight Gundam is up for preorder now. Looks amazing but not for bbts price.
Mine too, a little future and he is right as rain. Collection looks good I just caved and bought Guntank, Full Armor, Gouf and a second Zaku. I need the standard Z'Gok now. Fuck I didn't want to do this collection but it's just beautiful. All the painted tampo versions are driving me nuts though....
My hopes went up when the display blue destiny appeared at a show a while back. But I guess they're saving the side story and ova for later. I'd love a new Alex after how well the full armor was handled. I'd never turn down a kampfer either. But 08th still remains my top desire in this line.
08th MS team is my ONLY desire in this line, and given how long ago the Gouf Custom came out I've resigned to the likelihood that it's simply not going to happen.
Hopefully that knight Gundam will get a standard release without the metal like the Hi-Nu. The 00 raiser I'm willing to get the metal version given my history with the last two. Which I'm hoping the Ex-S will get a standard release soon. And wasn't there supposed to be a metal version of the Unicorn Gundam? Also I was thinking that with the Patlabor releases getting support vehicles and environmental pieces, that maybe when they do 08th eventually it would be a great inclusion.
It's rather surprising that metal robot spirits Ex-S, is a regular release (and not a web-shop exclusive), considering its' source material (graphic novel from the 80s). The more obscure Gundam-related figures are often given the web-shop treatment, so even if EX-S is re-iterated as a regular robot damashii, it could still be limited as a web exclusive, and you would still be looking at a fairly hefty price-tag. Gundam MK-V marking plus and FAZZ are case in point, both are costly web exclusives. When it comes to obscure designs, u could literally wait for decade(s);for me, it's "now or never", obscure designs rarely have a second chance at production; even if it does, it's probably a generation wait.
Nah they will do it in the A.N.I.M.E. line so they can release everything twice: Toon accurate then tampo versions.
Well, I am thinking Bandai's gonna continue to be such a jackass about 08th MS (and even with 0080) suits, and they'll most likely make them TWE japan-event-only ver-Ka items in extremely limited low-numbers just to continually screw with us non-japan fans. If they ever offer 'em at all, anyway. Still, hope it doesn't get to be like that...
Do we? The US site's offerings are kinda pathetic right now: TamashiiWebShop| PremiumBandai America The FAZZ-Ka ain't in there, but they do list that Clown-GM instead. Pretty sure that Clown-GM is a really a must-have hot item amongst japanese-fans and western-fans alike...
Hey not quite there but a lot better than 6 months ago. Monsterarts is coming through I think the selection will improve. And I am definitely getting that Clown GM.
Has anyone tried ordering through the US site yet? I was intending to pick up the GM Cannon but was curious if they charge right away or not.
