Where did you find what theater will be showing them?

A few builds from the new Gundam Weapons MG Endless Waltz Glory of the Losers Special Edition mook. It's an ok book. Everything is clean other than the heavy arms builds which are weathered. Sadly, only less than 1/2 the new equipment from the GOL Manga was modeled in the builds which was a bummer. Some builds like Fluegal and Wing KA were recently shown in Gundam Hobby Life.

"The reveal of the Gundam Devise Exia, a new variant of Gundam Exia, which debuts in METAL BUILD and Gundam 00 series CG animated collaboration project titled Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Revealed Chronicle. Director Mizushima mentioned that while the CG presentation will not be a full anime, it will still be helping to connect some missing links between the seasons 1 and 2 of the original anime series. It will also discuss and unveil the mysteries of the Double Drive system and will feature new mobile suit designs for the 4 main protagonists of the series. The new Exia variant features never-before-seen equipment including its significant GN Devise Backpack that can be extended with arm units to hold its smaller weapons. Gundam Devise Exia also flexes its main weapon, Proto GN Luster Sword that can be housed in the center of the its backpack when not in use. Gundam Devise Exia is set to release this October 2022 for 22,000 Yen." -GKC How does this Exia bridge the gap between S1/S2 of OO when it was thrashed and patched together? This would have to be some off-scene story that ran between the episodes of S1 I guess?

Yep full color and painted. Mine has defects and even has scratches on the backsides where injection marks are. Should hide with topcoating though if you don't plan to paint.

Tons of thrusters arived from the motherland (with some other Macross goodies) Out of the 60+ verniers I hope to find something that will work but, I'm not too optimistic. Last resort will be recasting the set from the 27 Lucifer. Now just to convince myself to get back to work!

Twitter feed has tons of other tweets with more WIP pictures. -
Website changed to reveal that Kira's VA announcing a Gundam SEED Metal Spirits figure AND the director for Gundam OO announcing a new Metal Build! I wonder what is next? AFAIK no more gundams from the OO RE:vision sequel were shown other than Dynames and Exia IV, so maybe back to the original S1 roster? https://tamashii.jp/special/gundam-figure-live/

R, Your going to have to resend me your imgur/flickr acct. I cannot seem to find it in my bookmarks anymore. V Siren looks great! Straight gloss or any polishing on her? Come to think of it, is than an older resin kit? I can't think of any recent (fss "recent"=10 years) Neptune's with the mermaid on the shield like in the original art instead of the Fillmore Empire cross.

Yep, I've got the regular release/red one. Yours seems to have held up better, my white plastic is seriously showing some yellowing despite being kept away from sunlight and in a non-smoking display case!. Once of these day's I'll give it some love, though not looking forward to the decals. My comment was more towards how they do things these days. Release a base Z-plus then charge double for the hummingbird add on a year later. That being said after seeing 2019's Robot Spirits C1... I would not mind another newer update at all!

It's also Kira's VA, Sōichirō Hoshi as the guest during presentation and it states "Tons of new information of TAMASHII NATIONS ‘MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM’ series! Do not miss the unveiling of the latest ROBOT SPIRITS ‘MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED’ products!" at the bottom of the page. There were a few of Seed things shown off at the last announcement. Strike Noir, Providence teasers IIRC. Skip the MB Zeta... need a GFFMC plus with a full on Hummingbird option!

SEASON 2 MAY 2022 Globally!

Right shoulder out of focus. 2/5 😛 Is that a gloss finish? I don't think I remember you doing anything but matte in a long while. Looking good!

I've got the Armored and Regult in the warehouse too... just waiting on that darn Plamax VF-31 nose to release... This is hilarious as I'm like 90% sure I bought a MG D-Hell from you like 5 years ago along with a MG Wing KA and a Bandai Armored VF-25F... still haven't touched any of them either. Could have saved you the DHL cost, just charge you a restocking fee. lol In my experience lately (mostly HLJ and Mandarake orders,) EMS is always been cheaper by about $20-30USD only anything larger than a shoe box. Lately, I've found it easier to give into EBAY markups because the cheaper MSRP cost overseas + shipping (with SAL/Japan Post export being closed) is about the same with less wait.

Amen. Kawamori's original work is a curvy masterpiece. Both Katoki (MG) and Takigawa (RG) remove the exquisite shapes and make them into generic fodder. It's not so bad on the GP01FB as there is alot to distract the eye but, on the regular GP01 it hurts the eye. The ver. A.N.I.M.E. RD is pretty close, there is also the old resin kit by WAVE (I think) released during C3AFA in 1/100 scale. It is a little wonky in the head and needs a bit of work

On Fire Fiyaaaa! Crazy cool use of clear chopsticks! Scratchbuilt Battle Frontier? -
Bandai announced the next MGEX (extreme!!!!!) model kit... The Strike Freedom. Unlike the last entry (Unicorn) which focused on LED Lighting, this entry will focus on the "extreme expression of metal" (presumably just the inner frame.) I wonder if Bandai is testing a new market that merges the best of the Metal figure lines and Gunpla again following the somewhat HiRes flops. https://bandai-hobby.net/site/mgex/

Like something Nils Nielsen would have built in the first Build Fighters series.

Premium Bandai has a free shipping coupon right now if you order from them, which can be applied to a few Metal Spirits/Build figures listed. https://p-bandai.com/us/cont/campaign/presidentsday2022

So this is now going to be a thing starting in 2022. Evangelion. Godzilla. Ultraman. Kamen Rider vs Kaiju! The project will bring together properties from Toei, Toho, Tsuburaya Productions, and Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara. It is unclear what form the project will take but, more details are promised for later in the year. https://sjhu.jp/#project_top (Anyone remeber Weta Workshop's doomed live action Evangelion that never took off?)

Hayate figureRise bust mod from Kaname. Oil Pallet painting style for a Delta display. 1/48 FI-YAAAA conversion of a Hase VF-19. Amazing weathering on a a VF-0D from Zero. -
Shouldn't be. The figures have the titles Ranka Amaterasu (Sun Goddess) and Sheryl Tsukuyomi (Moon Goddess). I can't see Ranka's Labrynth of Time figure being mixed into that. More options... which we'd get the SMS team though.

And greatful for it.
