Stupid thing. I think this is better value than a Hot Toy, but I just bought one and need to cancel this.

Thanks for the comments too. I think it's darned ugly, but that's why I like it. They would look awesome paired though. Like royal psycho guards. How does he scale with MP1 or Quakewave?
Sorry, I'm awesome at triple posting. While I'm thinking it. I think I'd rather have pink Zaku metal composite. Or any metal Zaku. Where are they? Or the original three. Now those molds would go further than the Psycho.
I was waiting for this to happen.. sort of. The first Bandai Premium Exclusive to this series that uses the weapon from the Astray Green Frame and a newly molded ultimate beam-saber-spam weapon. ...at least we don't have to paint the wings white now! --- At Hadlen's Hobby Shop of LoLs! I've been inspecting the runners more closely and I realized that Bandai's messing with our heads for the potential recycling of the Version EW series to make the 'Customs.' This is just one of the dedicated runners, where as some of others have that modified injection point (where there's a "T" and it looks like the framing of the runner was added on) that make it into this particular version of the model. I'm hoping with the Proto-Zero coming out, we'll see more of the upgraded Gundams and hopefully not Bandai Exclusives like the Tallgeese II was. Final attachment below, I just finished building the Heavyarms. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go finish building the Gatling Gun.
@Koonsfa - It's 11" on the dot IIIRC, so if you know the hieghts on the other toys it should give you an accurate size comparison. That looks great. And it's extra funny bc I just finished this guy this morning:
Well, looks like the Build Strike and Zaku Amazing are available on HLJ. Just shipped mine along with Prowl.
YEAH! You should really read what that guy says! but he's a bit of an egotistical super genius! ...oh wait.. --- Nice job on the Hi-Nu TJ, glad someone got the display arms for the Fin Funnels to hold up right. -Change of pace here, but do any of you guys clean your parts before you build? I started doing this after I built the Metal Gear REX when I tried building right out of the box and I couldn't get over how oily the parts were. What I do is I'll soak my parts in a bathtub filled with warm water and a dissolved dishwasher soap block.
Depends on what i'm building. Nowadays, i sand pieces as i build so most of the release is taken off. Kotobukiya kits are notorious for being slippery due to the release agent they use. They don't do as great of a job as Bandai does at cleaning off the release agent. The only time i was parts now honestly is if i'm working on resin, or if i've added modifications to the part. All that dust gets in the little nooks and crannies.
- Thanks! You know what I did? For the funnel pieces on the arm of the stand, I took the clear plastic tubing, feed it through, and wrapped them around the arm. That way the stand itself counterweights the funnels. - I don't soak my pieces (bc for the most part, I don't fully paint), but for areas that I'm having problems with, I do what equee does and use a Sandpaper dremel to take some of the finish off. I always coat mine, so the areas all even out in the end and look same.
http://hobbynotoriko.yumenogotoshi.com/hgbf-build-strike.html Well I might end up getting a 2nd build strike now so I can have extras of those beam rifles. Bandai is really pushing the whole customizability aspect of this line, more so than with AGE
Finished the Rouge Phoenix. The side skirts are on a fixed swivel joint, so they can't really do anything fancy. The gun didn't want to stay in the hand at all so I just glued it to the manipulator. It's also not as pink as I'd like it to be, but oh well. Overall it's not bad. Everything holds together and the joints are not too tight.
