    Nice! :good: 

    Can I request for a length measurement of the effect parts if that's ok? Thanks!

     

    So you’re asking me for a “length measurement” of my “effect parts”??? I didn’t know this was that kind of forum lol.

    the video posted here a couple pages back has the small saber effects at 7 inches and large saber between 12-13in . I haven’t opened it yet because I’m running errands but will confirm it later tonight.

    IDK why the MB EVA stuff sells at all really. There are better option for a little less (ThreeZero/ DYNACTION) or a little more (RAH) money. In my opinion of course.

    Nostalgia factor. Especially since Eva hit Netflix , all the weebs are trying to re live the childhood nostalgia. They buy the MB Evas, realize they are a waste of money and then re sell them. Especially that Eva 2 , there’s always one for sale cheap.

    I also say this as an owner of both MB Eva 01 version and the first MB Eva 2

    Are we sure they are doing a re-release? I kind of interpreted the 2 images as "Here's what we've released so far...and now we're going to release 00."

    Don’t ever underestimate Bandais ability to milk the s*** out of something. The Eva models featured the “Arming Tree” and “Progressive Weapons” . Pretty sure they are going to polish the turd again and re release something other than Eva 0 

     

    in the event I’m wrong Sqidd will send you 50 XLM to your crypto wallet.

    Apparently EVA stuff sells.:unknw:

    I think Eva 01 stuff sells. Eva 02 sales were a bust from what I’ve seen on forums. I’m hoping this Eva re release comes with the “Arming Tree” because that would be sweet.

     

    so if I’m seeing this event right I have the following scheduled ( because I need to get my wallet ready)

    -some MN Crossbone

    -Gundam Wing OG GFFMC

    -supposedly Red Dragon Astray with Cavelwtch backpack

    - MB Eva 01 & 2 re release 

     

    did I forget something ?

  5. If any one is thinking about getting that new 1/72 MoShow Strike , don't do it. It looks cool but you cant see all the tape I used to hold it together lol.

    It comes with weak/flimsy torso and wobbly hip joints. It looks cool but it may not stand up properly under its own power. When it arrived it was missing Grand Slam so i don't have it to display.  QC was just as bad as the 2017 release they did , this one has way better paint on it though.

    You know what, I have to admit that I got too tired of seeing too much Unicorn figures and merchandise since the OAV. But since I don't own a GFFMC versions of it, I'll bite a Metal Build Unicorn and Banshee. As long that it featured the original Psycommu colors and not the Green one. Phenex on the other hand, nope. :rolleyes:

     

    The GFFMC version of the unicorn where early models in the GFFMC line.  Most of the GFFMC line suffered from weak joints , hands that didnt stay in place and general QC inconsistencies, quality wasnt  really fixed until the GFFMC Wing gundam came out. I bought the first GFFMC unicorn build and Final Battle version. I kept the final battle version
    because the colors on it are awesome but it lives in the box due to poor posability. 

    I hope that if the Metal Build line launches one that it will have far better quality than the GFFMC line did. 

    Also Im quoting this because I want to see you bite a Metal Build Unicorn

    Let’s see. I don’t collect the Mazinger and FMP Metal Build toys and I’m missing:

    • The original 00 Seven Sword and 0 Raiser
    • Trans-Am 00 Raiser
    • Trans-Am Exia
    • Freedom Prisma Coating
    • Avalanche Exia Weapons Plus Pack
    • Destiny Gundam Full Package
    • Destiny Gundam Soul Red
    • Soul Blue Wings of Light Set

    Oh boy, I have a bunch of stuff to buy…

    The Trans Am exia is a waste of money. Its got such weak joints. Ive seen a pissed drunk Lindsey Lohan do a better job of standing up

    Do you guys have them all displayed? What's that look like?

    Im using an Ikea Regissor Glass door cabinet. If I use the stands I get it about 1/3 full , if I dont use stands I can get half of the collection in there. If i wanted to display everything properly I would need 3 . They are front heavy and need to be drilled into the wall to avoid tipping , so Ive been hesitant to get the other 2. 

    My collection is missing 

    -Original 00 Raiser trans am
    -Exia Avalanche (just didnt care for it)
    -Gerbera powered arms set. 
    -White Astraea test maneuver parts

     

    In terms of KO I have
    -Metal Club Kashatriya with funnel effects 
    -Inactive Strike Freedom & Inactive Destiny
    - Strike Freedom "Soul Blue"
    - Strike GTX 
    -Teal Strike Freedom
    - Trans Am Raiser
    - Raiser Plane with sword pack  and more
    -Metal Club Sinanju 1/100 & Sazabi 1/72

    As you can see this repressed childhood obsession becomes a problem when you grow up and get a good job and an adult bank account. This all could have been prevented had my parents just bought me the gundam stuff I wanted instead of forcing that lame Star Wars crap on me lol

    Trying to finish my IBO MRS collection, but the prices for a second hand Vidar is just ridiculous. I paid 300 for a used lupus rex and honestly it was not worth anywhere near that with the loose joints. 

    What is IBO MRS and which lupus rex did you buy? Are you talking about that "Metal Myth Dragon King" lupus knock off?

    I love the Metal Build stands they give the toys some more personality but are not that different to hamper a uniform display. I especially love the early Metal Build 00 Gundam stands where they put icons for the weapon loadout on them. Sadly they didn’t do that for all of them.

    They also have the correct size. Not too big so that they take up a lot of shelf real estate bit big enough to support a lot of poses.

    The stand base has unique designs which are cool but the stupid arm that is included makes it hard to put in display cases or balance properly. This is why I wish someone would make a small clear 2-3 in adapter just like what the Metal Build Strike includes or the Gold Frame Astray. That way I can display my MB figure without having 12-15in high figure in a cabinet that only has 15in space between shelves.  If bandai could start adding/selling the display stand pictured below, that would be great.  You think they would have by now considering every Exia to date has had weak hips joins and its hard to pose them without a stand.

    LP is active on this board, did they not resolve your issue when you contacted them? They didn't care about my banged up packaging.

    Their attempt was more about "Saving Face" on a public forum. I also got a nice lesson from them about forum etiquette as well.

    Geeze O Pete, another line? How does this compare to a MB?

     

    Its slightly smaller, less detailed and less articulation than a metal build.  Same weight thought. If I have time later today Ill pull out the Chogokin RX78 and take some pictures next to my Exias or Strikes for comparison.

    I thought it was Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite (GFFMC), maybe it is a new line. This would be the first to have LEDs.

    I thought it was part of the " Chogokin" line given that yellow box in the upper left corner of the package?
