    Are they working on it or do they just have the rights to distribute it outside China? It seems Legendary films is the one making it. I'm not too excited for this. If Netflix is really the one making it, they tend to take too much creative liberty and the story shifts to being too PC.

    Huh. That's unusual. I would assume the ThreeZero would be slightly cheaper there. I don't have that but the limbs do wobble or jiggle with handling and not in a forceful way to make it happen. They do stay in place for what it's worth. Probably inside the entry plug. :P The Dynaction does have that over the ThreeZero. I do also like that the Dynaction's stand has options for attachment. I still do prefer the berserk mode head and entry plug. I wonder though why Bandai didn't include that option as the feature can be easily placed for something that big. The Dynaction can have its berserk face feature given it has teeth but it doesn't have those crazy eyes that go with it. Glad to share my feedback.

    I don't have the RG kit. Standing straight from head to toe without the antenna, it is just slightly below 10 inches. With the thighs pulled out, it's at 10 inches I would say.

    Just some quick comparisons between the ThreeZero Robo-dou and Bandai Dynaction. No action photos here. You can pretty much get an idea how big each Eva is from the photos. The Robo-dou is quite hefty and probably close or a little bit heavier than the Dynaction. Both have diecast parts. I think the Dynaction has it more in the inner frame of the torso, joints, and feet. The Robo-dou's diecast is on the thighs, lower legs, toes, biceps, forearms, and probably some on the torso and joints (not sure on those two). The Robo-dou feels really solid while the Dynaction can be wobbly when you handle it. It doesn't mean that the Dynaction is loose. If I have to describe it, it's like touching or moving jello around. When the figure is handled, the limbs tend to wobble like... jello. :P Both have good articulation with the Dynaction having more range of motion and points of articulation. The Dynaction has full arm rotation on the elbow joint and limited bicep rotation. The Robo-dou only has limited bicep rotation. Both have limited torso rotation due to how the Eva is designed though. The Dynaction has 3, one on each torso section while the Robo-dou only has 2 located on the lower sections. (Edit: the Robo-dou has 3 points of articulation on the torso but the top doesn't move sideways). The Dynaction has better range with forward and backward bending as well and better neck joint range. The Robo-dou has pull down hip joints. It looks better on the Robo-dou as it lessens the gap between the thighs and the hips while allowing a lot of articulation range when needed. That gap can be unsightly on the Dynaction giving it a wide hips look. Joints are quite tight on the Robo-dou. Both use friction joints and I do wonder how well both will last or how soon the joints will become too loose. The Dynaction leans to being violet while the Robo-dou leans toward purplish. The greens on the Robo-dou are iridescent and can glow in the dark with UV lighting. The Robo-dou has a wider shoulder profile while the Dynaction is narrow. I guess this will depend on which part of the animation you watch as to which is more accurate. Accessory wise, the Robo-dou has the advantage for me as it has a berserk mode headsculpt and entry plugs. Everything else is almost the same. I think the Robo-dou has the most value with quality at around 120 USD without shipping. The Dynaction is close to $200 but feels less premium. My understanding is that the Dynaction is an oversized robot spirits version with diecast added. I may be wrong on that information though. The Robo-dou makes the Metal Build Evangelion forgettable. Lol!

    This was supposed to be released 4th qtr last year but you know, that pandemic thing changed the schedule. I will have mine probably by the end of the week. I'll see how it stacks up against the Dynaction.

    I don't have much ThreeZero items and the Eva Unit-01 Robo-dou being the first but looking at their catalog, their prices seem to be better or comparable to Bandai given what's being offered. Unless, you were referring to Sentinel, which is a blatant rip off.
  7. crackpot
    Not really. It's still available at certain places. If anything, I think the threezero Evas might take the attention away from it.
  8. crackpot
    I hope they just sell it. I wouldn't want imported Macross merch to be rebranded as Robotech.

    Honestly, I'd just like for it pried away from HG at this point rather than for them to get something out of this negotiation.
  10. crackpot
    Is this confirmed news?
  11. crackpot
    There is under the where to buy section. Getting NY credits isn't winning. That's the final nail on the coffin.
  12. crackpot
    Lol! I like 4G's colorway better. Why did they have to make that nosecone flesh toned? Looks like the 4A has its private hanging out.

    I initially opened it up to rotate it back but from then on, it still kept going out of place when I transformed it to different modes. I ended up forcing it back but I can't remember if I had the tab rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. I remember rotating it to one direction with some force allows it to go in compared to the other way.
  14. crackpot
    You can rotate it back without opening the leg as was said. It will rotate out of place every now and then.

    4. Release the armor as a TWE and then put up a TWE lottery the following month for a VF-1J Hikaru grey goggle replacement head.
  16. crackpot
    Better get a head start on building this then. Lol! I'll take a guess on what's included in your wedding playlist: 1. 0-G Love 2. Ai Oboete Imasu Ka 3. Shao Pai Long 4. My Soul for You 5. Angel Voice 6. Lion 7. Northern Cross Etc., etc., etc.......
  17. crackpot
    SOC (Soul of Coca-Cola) limited edition. To give you a hint on what to do for those DIY Wedding favors.
  18. crackpot
    A few of the premium Gundam stuff doesn't make it to the US market though. So your mileage may vary when it comes to Gundam.

    Question still stands. Is Voltes V entirely or mostly a Filipino thing?
  20. crackpot
    So was 99.99% of all the DX Voltes SOC bought up by the Filipinos?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    crackpot replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I agree the show was crap but do remember they're coming out with the speaker attachment. Not entirely dead but on life support.
  22. crackpot
    Lol! I'd like to see this to completion once and if every TV version gets a DX treatment.
  23. crackpot
    Fail. You didn't switch out the Hikaru 1J for the DX version as well.
  24. crackpot
    They're not half the price. If comparing MSRP to MSRP, that's $190 (DX) vs $140 (KC) for a naked valk. As was specifically stated, those that get it at MSRP (some with PO discount - $170 and upwards) will find KC's price as not worth it.

    I've read in another forum that some are modifying their shipping choice to DHL in their accounts. Of course, Amiami will review the request first before confirming. Maybe worth a shot if you haven't paid yet.
