Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
twich replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Question, has there ever been a figure or robot damashi of the murasame from Gundam seed destiny? I am a sucker for transformable mobile suits! Thanks, Twich -
I think that I might be getting too old to build Gundams…..I just completed my kit if the 1/100 Full Mechanics Gundam Aerial, and the first thing I noticed is that my damn hands shake, and despite glasses, those little parts are almost too small to see. I have given up on stickers/decals and leave that to my 15 year old son………sucks getting old! When I got this Metal Build Strike Gundam, it was perfect! Didn’t really have to assemble it! Toughest thing was assembling the Launcher Striker accessory set and posing the big gun with the Strike Gundam holding it! The Metal Builds I am seeing are around the same price as a Macross jet, so not too crazy! Twich

So I have a question on this release, the leg armor of the VF-171ex has these little flaps, and on these flaps it looks like it has little guns on it, like the hip guns of the VF-25/27 and YF-29. This is not listed in the stats, as far as I can tell, so what are these? Twich

The reason I asked was that when I was in the Tamashii Nations Store in Times Square, I was debating between the Chogokin Gundam Aerial or the Metal Build Strike Gundam Heliopolis Rollout Version store exclusive. I really like the look of both figures, but went with the strike Gundam due to being the store exclusive. I have Always wanted the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Zeta Plus Gundam, but didn’t want to pay the ridiculous price for an aged, used toy. I Love to build Gunpla, but I got the Metal Robot Spirits Wing Gundam Zero last year and it was an amazing figure, though a bit small and really got me interested in the other Gundam offerings. Thanks for explaining! Twich
-
So, I’m new to non-gunpla Gundam offerings, what is the difference between Chogokin and Metal Build? Twich
-
It is unfortunate that this wonderful design has not seen a transforming toy, even a Hi Metal R would be wonderful! Great job with the kit and paint job! Twich

The mecha, which is the main draw for me for looking at this thread, it would be interesting to see Toynami or Kitzconcepts take on the YF-4, or what ever it is called in the comics. Twich

Very nice, and this should be WWM, right? Twich
-
I am looking forward to this and the DX Chogokin VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie. I am still on the fence about a VF-11 with speaker boobs for Mylene custom, but might be my only chance to get a transforming VF-11, unless Bandai decides to give it the DX treatment. Twich

So, I am pretty new to the whole non-Gunpla side of Gundam. I have a Metal Robot Spirits Wing Gundam Zero and I love it, though it is a bit small......I recently got a Metal Build Strike Gundam Tamashii Store exclusive Heliopolis rollout release and I have to say that I am very impressed with the detail and heft of the Metal Build Strike Gundam. I am a little frustrated with the Launcher accessory add on kit that I bought along with it, the shoulder piece falls off way too easily and the big gun on the arm is unwieldy as all get out to try to manipulate and make it look good. My Question is, is there a Metal Build Zeta Gundam or Zeta Plus Gundam? I know of the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Zeta Plus set, but I do not think it is the same as a metal build.....What would people recommend? Thanks! Twich
-
So I see that the regular release of the Fugo FS-01 VF-1S God of Flame release has also been pushed to Q3 2024. So I guess the hold up is not the stand..... Twich

Finally got home from vacation and got to open my acquisitions. The VF-171EX Armored was stressful moving the legs to get the armor on, I was so worried the legs would snap off it I moved it wrong! Love the new YF-19! I don’t need the missiles or fast packs, but that is my preference, I already have the VF-19 Advance. The Tiny Sessions VF-25F Tamashii Store exclusive is my first Tiny Session toy, and I think it is really nice, though I will have to play around with it more to see if it is $50 nice. Twich
-
I have mine waiting at home for me when I return from vacation….will have a Bandai DX Chogokin YF-19 that I acquired from Tamashii Nations Store in New York City to go along with it. I know that the YF-19 is similar to the VF-19Advance, as far as the toy goes, but I am just excited to have both, since I never owned a VF-17/VF-171 before now and I’m looking forward to matching these up with the YF-21 I have pre-ordered from BBTS. Twich

Why did the card on the VF-1J Rick say “prototype, pending licenser approval”. I thought the VF-1J was a done deal? Twich
-
So, does anyone have any insight as to why this was pushed to W3 2024 on the ShowZStore Website? Twich
-
Thank you for bumping this thread, don’t know why the search didn’t direct me to this thread….. Twich
-
I tried looking for the FG Model FG-1S God of Flame KO thread and couldn’t find one, except mentioned in this one…..sorry, trying to keep the talk in the same place…. Twich
-
Anyone else see that the FG MODEL FG-01 VF-1S God of Flame has been moved to a 3rd Quarter 2024 release on ShowZstore? Twich
-
Don’t know if this was discussed/discovered before, but it looks like it has an articulated waist at the nosecone. Did anyone see the release date? First quarter 2024 ends in a few weeks….. Twich
-
Thanks! The other guy in the picture actually lives on Long Island and was a godsend playing tour guide/subway/commuter train guide! Twich
-
So, I am vacationing in New York right now, went into Times Square, to the Tamashii Nations store and scored me a Bandai DX Chogokin YF-19 AND a Tiny Sessions VF-25F Metallic Tamashii Nationd Store exclusive! I also got a Tamashii Nations Metal Build Strike Gundam Heliopolis Rollour Version Tamashii Store exclusive with the Launcher Striker add on set! -PS- I’m the one holding the bags! Twich
-
It does look like it is advertising Max’s VF-22S Sturmvogel II, is that right? Twich
-
I think that Arcadia could make some serious cash if they were to re-release some of those things that few people had the opportunity to acquire, such as the 1/60 Premium Finish VF-0S and VF-0D, heck, release all the Macross Zero 1/60, but make the “Premium Finish” the regular release to compete with Bandai’s DX Chogokin tampo printing. Also, Arcadia could have released a WWM edition VF-1J for the 40th. They did it for 30&35. Twich

LOL! The lack of spousal care of our toys leads me to place my things at least 2 feet taller than my wife, but have only had one episode of things being knocked off the shelf, many a Gundam and my Bandai DX Chogokin VF-19Advance were the casualties and the head laser broke off! Super glue and a tooth pick made that fixable. Good to see you around M’Kyuun! Twich
