Yes! This looks so awesome! I am so happy Bandai is sticking with the AOZ line and it wasn't a one off. I want to see Bandai do a MG Woundwort with the various gimmicks.

Neon Genesis EVANGELION General Thread
General Rasp replied to no3Ljm's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The EVA TV series was one of the first anime I watched from beginning to end. I loved it and it left an impression on me 20+ years later (in the form of spending a lot of money on figures). However, after reading the manga, I completely agree that the manga tells the story better and has a satisficing ending.- 961 replies

I have used a cotton bud or paper towel. I haven't noticed any staining or marks on plastic pieces. It cleans up easy when it is in liquid form.

Metal Build vs Metal Robot Spirits So the biggest difference is the scale and the wiki is correct. Metal Builds are close to 1/100 and Metal Robot Spirits (MRS) are close to 1/144. Bandai for the most part took a Metal Build and shank it down to 1/44 scale. The only other difference I have noticed is the plastic on the MRS figures feels easier to break and stress because the parts are smaller. I haven't broken any of mine but just something to be mindful of. Also the joint tolerances can be really off with some MRS figures. My MRS Zeta's knee took a lot of force to bend when I was posing it. Others are great like the MRS Justice I opened a couple of days ago, no issues with the joints. Paint, durability, gimmicks, articulation are the same from MB to MRS. The MRS does have one big advantage right now, you have a good chance of Bandai releasing a whole cast or team of suits. Gundam Seed for example, most of the main suits from Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny have been released in MRS with the exception of the Legend Gundam, Strike, and maybe a few others. And with recently pre-orders it seems that they are doing main suits or variations from lesser know series. The Re-GZ custom and Hazel Gundam for a few examples. Bandai would never do those suits in MB format and we are just getting a Justice Gundam to go with Freedom after years in the MB line. Metal Build vs Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Pre-the GFFMC Zaku II release, I would say there was no to little difference between the MB and GFFMC line. Granted the GFFMC Unicorns weren't the best, second-hand knowledge, but there wasn't much difference other than the transformation gimmick. Both have a diecast frame with painted armor, decals, hand options, stands, and are 1/100-ish scale. Post GFFMC Zaku II release, I would say the GFFMC line is better. There is something with the Zaku II and Wing Zero releases that are close to perfect. I personally really love the MB line and have been collecting them since the first release of the Destiny Gundam. But the current GFFMC line has this 'fit and finish' that beats out the MB figures. Everything moves great, looks amazing, tons of options, perfect proportions, the whole package. I would have trouble finding a criticism with my GFFMC figures. I imagine the GFFMC line will be sticking with UC and Wing Suits for a few years, and we will be seeing a lot of Zaku II flavors down the line. Personally hoping to see a Gouf Custom in GFFMC. The MB line is branching out after years of Exia releases with Getter, Mazinger, and EVA. Hope that helps! Sorry for the rambling but it was a great excuse to avoid work.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I have deleted cookies and adjust my browser settings but still can't get through. I will be trying out tunnelbear next and see how that goes. It's kinda like Bandai doesn't want their oversea customers to know how little they offer to other regions.

So dumb question. I was able to get into p-Bandai Japan but now I can't past the "International Shipping Service" page. Can others get past that page?

I would love if the MB Astraea High Maneuver Test Pack made it to P-Bandai. Is there a way to enter into the lottery if you are outside of Japan?

It is going to be hilarious if the Hi-Nu is the easiest Metal Build to pre-order because no one likes the shield.

ThreeZero ROBOTECH (Macross) Toys
General Rasp replied to kyekye's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I would have preferred them sticking with/doing a non-transformable figure. Though this might be a good work around for people that can't get Bandai DX figures. I agree with the above posts that doing Zentraeadi figures would have been a better decision. A 1/72 Regult with Threezero's paint work would be amazing to see. -

Think going super saiyan but for a Gundam. I am guessing the creators thought the name sounded cool or it for the fact the Gundam's speed was overclocked.
