The GFFMC Unicorn (Awakening) is back in stock at HLJ is anyone is interested. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN991952

Pretty much seems so if it's metal build or 1/60 Macross. I missed a bunch of the GFFMC's though and tend not to care that much, maybe they will reissue some of them.

GFFMCs tend to be an easy pick-up from the secondary markets like Mandarake, often at or below cost after release.

That is unless you are after the Tamashii Nations' exclusives.

Personally I'd say either of the GFFMC Psyco MKI / MK II gundam for are my favourite from the line.

They have good shelf presence by virtue of their size and a good heft on them.

Tamashii pre-order page is up: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000096698/

do you guys have them out displayed in detolfs? if you guys do, post up some pics please

what's GFFMC's? are they expensive?

GFFMC or Gundam Fix Figuration: Metal Composite is another line of high-end die-cast gundam figures.

It pertains mostly to Hajime Katoki's design for the Universal Century (UC) mobile suits.

Being Katoki's designs, it has significantly much more decals (tampo prints) compared to the Metal Builds. (Imagine the decal spam on the Ver Ka. gunpla model kits)

You could refer to the following Tamashii link for the full list of what's been released thus far: http://tamashii.jp/item_brand/gugundam_fix_figuration_metal/

You could recycle those shipping cardboard boxes that you get as a holder for the sticks.

Here's how mine looks like, just make sure that the height is sufficient enough to hold the sticks securely in place.

For those looking at an alternative to the gundam markers (which I find to be too thick and messy) for panel-lining, do take a look at this range of pens: http://www.dickblick.com/products/copic-multiliner-pens/

I personally use the 0.03mm variation when I'm too lazy to use an enamel wash.

The good thing about these pens are that it comes in a variation of colours.

I mainly use the black, cool gray and brown ones depending if I want the panel lines to be subtle or 'pop' for a more anime-ish look.

July release: Pre-orders open 5th March

Red Zeta up for pre-orders now. Might get this to complete the Zeta collection

I have no Idea David. I am not really good at identifying the massive amounts of mobile suits that have been made.

Anyone else order the Exia Avalanche option pats from NY? Mine has been sitting at preparing for shipment for a whole now.

Mine was shipped out two days ago via SAL.

Been waiting forever for this

July release: http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201507yutd/

woops can a mod edit the title for me.

From Wonder Fest' 15

1/60 VF-0S

1/60 VF-0A

So this just came in

The size of the box is comparable to the Sazabi

I think the Gold Frame is too complicated design wise.

Looks more like a suit out of Build Fighters (kitbash?)

I wonder how much Tamashii would price the Strike Freedom, considering that each subsequent MB release has been getting pricier

It will be a regular release.

PO opens on 2nd February 16:00 JST.

Tamashii webpage for MB Gold Frame is up: http://tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild/astray/gold_am/

Pre-orders open on 2nd February

From what I understand, the pricier limited edition comes with an additional disc which contains 180 minutes of extras;

[stage greeting video (2), special number (2), event video, Gekitomo recording landscape, Itsukushima shrine hit prayer video]

The listing seems to also state that it will come with a storyboard collection.

Movie Blu-ray (with english subtitles) slated for May 27th release. Amazon JP listings

I don't like a lot of Gundams but I know what I likes. I'm down for that Shiki

And the eventual web exclusive hyper mega bazooka to go with it?

23,760JPY (22,000JPY without tax) for MB Gold Frame.

That's quite a high price.. giving it a miss.

No updates on Gold Frame yet.

Might be looking at a June / July release
