    Got a few new RDs. Seriously these things make me happier than some expensive-ass diecast robots.

    As a person who mainly collects gundam models, RD figures are expensive especially for the size
    but worth every penny !!

    Part of the way through making a new toy room. All of my recent purchases owning space on the kitchen fridge.

    Got the metal robot spirits Lancelot Albion Zero. Im surprised how much of it is actually metal and how tight the ratchets are. 20191206_173757.jpg

    I thing Bandai dropped the ball on Type 0.
    The head sculpt looks phenomenon but the body proportion us just weird with small crotch and very short lower body.

    Looks a lot like a frog in official pictures and in person.
    The glossy finish has really premium feel.
    Going to buy unit 1&2 movie pack after.

    Wow. Is that a type ANIME? It looks like they were going for more “anime magic” proportions and if so I think they nailed it.

    as far as more “realistic” look goes, I gotta agree with you 100%.

    I finally have all three full armor gundams I wanted! Now I need two heavy and then the blue and I will be satisfied. In the meantime I will work on getting a couple more Dom's and I might try for a Rick Dom or two.

    I also picked up an Ingram unit three from bbts before it sold out along with the neo zeong set. I messed with unit three and it's exactly what I expected. I haven't opened neo zeong yet because I want to put it straight on the shelf. I'll have my pick of which unicorn I want to put up against it so I'll decide then.

    Since I moved into my new place I haven't gotten many Rd so it's nice when I do pick one up. It makes a huge difference having everything available where I can see and play with versus having 90% off in storage. I'm working on getting some shelves before I try unpacking everything. I've also been busy catching up with other lines like marvel legends and the power rangers lightning collection. Soon I will be able to make the effort to catch up with rd releases but for now it's one here and there when I see a good deal.

    Rewatching g gundam this week really makes me wish they would release Gundam Spiegel. It's still my favorite. The prototype looked great a few years ago and so did rising gundam. I hope they circle back around to them and maybe the rest of the shuffle alliance.

    Is there something I'm missing? Why does it come with an extra sword and cannon? I guess they don't "fold" away so they don't have a joint? Even then, I haven't seen the joint be an issue on mine. Maybe it's something else, but that's all I could think of

    I think the proportions are slightly skewed a bit on the new ones. They look bigger at the ends than at the bases around the handles. It's hard to tell. I actually just ordered a metal destiny so this seems like good timing. The palm effects look better and the boomerang effects are a nice touch. Of course the wing effects are the main reason to buy this set but it's one of those things that it should have been included originally.
