Is this a reference flyer to the next Zero release?

I think it's just rando newspaper advertisements for some electronics-related stuff. NY packing is really rando. Most of my packages from NY come in nice green bubblewrap , but once in a while it gets packed with JP newspaper stuff which is always a surprise.

Usagundamstore has the FAZZ on preorder for 104 . PIcked up 2 with 3-5 day shipping for 204 (After 15% discount) which is way cheaper than I could ever hope to get them from Japan. Just have to wait an extra 4-6 weeks which is no biggy considering the insane backlog I have.

Question for those with the Bandai and also an old yamato 1:48 Would the missiles from the yamato clip on to the Bandai? 

If you gently use a file to enlarge the openings of the yamato missiles they fit just fine. See comparison

Yammy Missiles

Bandai Missiles

I'm very salty the space marine trilogy never happenned. 

While I'm not a Primaris Fan I will pick up a recolor of this fig if they do it in Dark Angels Green

Welp.. time to start saving again since I'll want to get a pair of FAZZes and shipping won't be cheap.

That is certainly unexpected. What makes them think we'll pick this one up vs the Hasegawas that have been around for nearly 20 years?

I got my 2 F90's and the 1st mission pack in. This is a very unusual release for a P-Bandai as it looks just like a full release with full-color box and even the fluff for the F90 in the manual.

Something tells me this was supposed to be a mainstream release after the F91 but since the f91 didn't sell ultra-well they relegated it to P-Bandia status.

What is going on with his hands?

Lol they recycled gloval's hands so both Ben and Rick get old-man wrinkly hands. You just can't tell as much with ben since his hands are white.

I saw these on taghobby. I wish we had this instead of the god-awful plastics that came in the robotech tactics set. 

The Battroids are the only ones that really appeal to me 

I really hope they flush out the F90/F91 line.

For sure we'll get more F90 stuff like the F90-II and various popular addons like the Plunge Type.

We've already got a Silhouette Formula 91 remake suit coming out (Vigna Zirah) so there's always hope we'll see more.

So quick question for anyone who might know, was the finish/color on the older Hi-Metal VF-1A Hikaru the same as the newer Hi-Metal R VF-1A Hikaru? I have the Hi-Metal R with armor parts, and I used to have the whole VF-1A DYRL Hi-Metal box set, but sold those long ago so I can't compare. Outside of new announcements, I might want to grab an older Hi-Metal 1A Kaki and Max to go with my Hi-Metal R 1A Hikaru. 

The old Hikaru Skull VF-1A is a different shade. It's more off-white when compared to the greyish HM-R.

Honestly I don't even care when it comes out so long as it does eventually come out :0

Booooo have to wait until oct. To quell my sadness and rage I will actually follow thru on that extra max 1a i had on hlj

Dangit. Still waiting on Anime-export to inform me of the arrival of my armored parts :0

Wasn't a fan of Mac Delta and I only have 1 VF-31 left, but dammit I have a weakness for THICC valks :0

But like why are they doing that? Generally good guys don't get taken down by a coordinated effort... 

They're taking him down because

1. he is probably the most well known male voice actor for dubbed anime and has huge lines on the con circuit

2. he is an outspoken christian advocate

3. he refused to autograph fanart depicting characters he's voice in homosexual relationships 

All this VIC takedown stuff happened just as people actually started to know who he was because he voices Broly in Dragonball super and it was relatively successful in theatres for an Anime flick.

I didn't know or care who he was either because I don't watch dubbed Anime. But this bullcrap cancel culture online outrage mob doesn't have a place in out hobby. 

If they don't bring hard evidence I won't bother. We' ve already had a bunch of #metoo's debunked (johnny depp, chris hardwick, andy signore) so I'm all out of taking just accusations on mere faith.

Hell, ANN didn't even reach out to Mari Ijima herself. They asked another VA ? like why?

It's more idiocy from Anime News Network. They've been trying to nail Vic for forever and it seems like it's all been coordinated out of professional jealousy and political beliefs.

Oh look... all the "evidence" is yet again another weirdo ranting on twitter with yet another hearsay story

https://archive.is/dfGly#selection-3471.0-3539.202

I've been following this for a while and as usual, all the evidence is more bullcrap twitter hearsay and Wikipedia hitjobs. The livestreams from Nick Rekieta about the lolsuit and whatnot have been very eye-opening into all of this madness.

the whole legion of weirdos on twitter will keep putting out bullcrap like this to take down somebody who has yet to be charged with a crime or even outed officially by a convention for being what they claim he is.

These people are trying to use Mari as a weapon against Vic. They don't give a damn about Mari they just want to use her name recognition to throw more shade at somebody. 

It's sickening.

Even the VF-1D is so easy to pick up. Had my wife pick up the VF-1D in Yamada-Denki for 3900 yen

Working on my MG FA-78-2. I gutted it and converted it to use a Gundam 2.0 frame vs the horrible perfect gundam frame. Also switched around some colors as the Cholate / red wasn't doing it for me.

Just gotta gloss it before I do the panel lines and decals.

It does take up a great deal of shelf space in my workroom...  

"Vintage Mecha Corpses" in the top right......  O_O

The RG Sinanju was based off the Gundam MK-II frame and it's just too much mobile-suit for that frame to handle. They shouldn't have cheaped out by recycling frames.

Not like it matters who wants knock-off Char when you can have real Char in his sexy Sazabi imho

I'm sick of the disney remakes, and also sick of the pop culture purge of gingers. So what if gingers have no souls they shouldn't be erased

1/144?

Dude time for some Gundam / Patlabor mashups 

oooooh

Bandai announced another P-Bandai of their MG GM Dominance, This time doing the Phillip Hughes version :0

Guess it'll be same kit but with those huge honking gatlings

it's gundam mk2 2.0 based like all the other mg aoz stuff.
