  3. B-Pack for Narrative Gundam – P-Bandai of course.
  4. It was rumoured that Skyfire would also get a repaint in the MPG line, seems like that is going to be the case. And while we are at it, solicitation images for MPG-12 SG Prime... and AMT-01 Rodimus Prime
  5. Friday can't come soon enough! clockwise I see FMP Arbalest/Laevatein, Reborns Gundam, Ryuomaru, Zeta Gundam, Bellvine, Mazinger Zero and another Lacelot Albion. Surprised the next UC Gundam is Zeta and not NT-1 to go along with the Kämpfer. Mazinger Zero is also a bit of a surprise looks like it's going with the Infinity design language. Curious to see if your standard MB ab-crunch and torso tilt are retained for the Zeta in spite of transformation.
  6. I used to be okay with the Yamato/Arcadia VF-1 head sitting high, but these days it looks off, almost to the point that it ruins Battroid mode.
  7. CCS Toys Mazinkaiser SKL – I would say that this crushes Bandai's SOC into oblivion. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/759526
  8. MPG-10 Lift Ticket https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2360952/ MPG-11 DK-2 Guard (they are actually going with that name!?) https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2361033/ I don't really have any interest in these Diaclone variants and like to save money, but if any one of them is designated a Decepticon, then I would have to pick it up as I just kind of like the idea of "evil G1 carbot" versions.
  9. GX-111 Great Mazinger KAKUMEI SHINKA https://www.taghobby.com/archives/786241
  10. Hacchaka has reviews up for GFFMC Gouf and MB Lancelot Albion. https://hacchaka.net/archives/52109008.html https://hacchaka.net/archives/52109306.html
  11. I think I might pick this up, the reinterpreted design looks good and pricing should be better compared to the Pose+ version.
  12. Seems like the first original MPs to be retitled under the MPG line are going to be Diaclone inspired mould reissues – Red Hoist and Black Ironhide. https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/05/30/possible-first-look-at-transformes-masterpiece-mpg-red-trailbreaker-black-ironhide-512626 Surprised Takara is utilising the dated and not so good MP Ironhide again.
  13. If past MP releases are anything to go by, then I am expecting the usual entitled moaning and complaining from "fans" listing local online stores with exaggerated price tags and blaming Takara for that (remember MP-44 – "It costs 500 Dollars!"). Unfortunately a lot of western Transformers fans live in a wonderful ignorant collecting bubble, no understanding for high-end toys or the (domestic) market Takara is operating in with other competitors. If it's not sub 100 Dollars and can't be found at Walmart or Target in a bargain bin sale three weeks after release, then naturally Takara is at fault with their pricing when it doesn't match this "gold standard" no matter what effort was actually put in the toy. Predaking was teased with the Studio Ox silhouette, so I don't think the AMT line is exclusive Flame Toys. Actually I don't even think this line is really exclusive to Transformers, I can see Takara trying their hand with other IPs as well, similar to Metal Build where there are plenty of Gundams but also an Arbalest, Sirbine, Shin Getter etc.
  14. According to solicitations this is around 21 cm and the sword is a whopping 45 cm! I think in universe the Double Zeta is 21 metres, so the SOC technically is 1/100 scale or at least very close to it. I would like to know how good articulation is going to be, from my limited dabbling in the SOC line it isn't exactly setting high standards. The biggest question however is, can/will this be retooled into the original ZZ Gundam and released under Metal Build/Composite line?
  15. Read this somewhere else, but yeah very disappointing and displeasing to find out. If they want to use Amuro, then I would say just replace the seiyu with someone similar sounding – I take no issue with that.
  16. Latest news, Disney+ has worldwide distribution for this latest Code Geass entry. The four movies will be re-edited into 12 episodes and released weekly starting 21 June. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2351527/
  17. It's a shame Bandai based their HMR VF-4 on Yamato's ugly and terribly proportioned version. Just like Yamato's YF-21, Battroid mode was/is absolutely wasted. My hope is that Bandai caps off the DX SDF/DYRL line with a completely new 1/48 VF-4 that actually resembles with the Battroid lineart and intended silhouette. Either that or I would also be happy with HG shortcut change model kit.
  18. CCS Toys is taking a stab at Alteisen from Super Robot Wars OG, will be interesting to see how this compares to Flame Toys' version. Proportions and overall sculpt look fine, but the nitty-gritty detailing I find to be too distracting. Granted that could be due to it being all grey and not having any colours yet. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/784035
