A stand would have been nice, but the struts to hold it up would probably have to be made out of metal since the SL is pretty damn heavy. The weapon set is neat, but for the most part those weapons did not appear in the OVA so I'm happy with the stock SL.
-
I think both options are good for Kshatriya. The SL version has better proportions in my eyes. I wasn't too fond of the overdetailed sculpt of the MC and I believed it would not fit in with my other metal build/ GFFMC collection. The extra weapons and stand of the MC version definitely was a great cherry on top. Having 2 options for a high-end kshatriya back in 2010 would have blew my mind.
-
This could potentially be another dream toy for me, but I have never heard of this company before and so I will be on the sidelines waiting. I urge everyone who was on the fence, to pick it up at that price. Great piece with a hell of a presence.
-
I know what you mean. I really wanted this Zeta gundam to be good since Bandai seems to not want to touch a high end Zeta gundam release.
-
Oh man that blows. I wouldn't let one bad experience with a 3rd party piece deter you away. I would just wait for reviews to come out to see if the toy is up to snuff especially from an unknown 3P company like this one making the Zeta gundam.
-
Let us know how the quality on this release turned out?
-
Hopefully, will see more pics of the legioss over the weekend during wonderfest.
-
The shade of blue looks better this time, but will the hands crack at the wrist and knuckle joints down the road? Will they seal the paint to withstand multiple transformation cycles?

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
SuperHobo replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Pretty good first episode. I hope they can keep up that level of quality. MHA does nothing for me, but this show along with Demon Slayer full-fills my shounen anime viewing. -
Hmmm a Justice and a new freedom does sound mighty tempting. I hope they do a Justice, that suit doesn't get enough love.
-
They're showing a booster for the laevatein and the arbalest. Whether they actually make it or not we shall see.
-
I've been wanting a GN arms for my metal build Exia since it came out all those years ago. Come to me! Do it Bandai.
-
Hmmm I still need to get that Minmay one of these days.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
SuperHobo replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm calling it now, $200 for just the fin funnels. Maybe this thing will tank and it will go on a modest discount for $600. Kidding aside, I really think this is an amazing display piece and I applaud Bandai for having the balls to release this. -
Is there an HLJ link for GX-88?
-
HLJ where you at?
-
Damn Amazon Japan won't ship either the 1S or GX 88 to the US. So sad.
-
I really hope the mold is as good as it looks, because my collection is screaming for a good modern legioss. I'm just a bit worried Sentinel will paint every surface of the legioss and it will be easy to chip paint with each transformation. I'm also worried they'll only use friction joints instead of some solid ratchets to keep the toy well balanced.
-
Hopefully, within the next few weeks? Either way, I'm starting to save now for at least 3 variants of the mold.
-
Nope, it's real. It's being displayed at the Kawamori Expo in Japan right now.
-
I'm assuming the sentinel legioss will go up for preorder maybe later this month? I'm hoping we can get some sweet shots of the solider mode's articulation and hot underside shots of fighter mode.

I got my copy of the Steel Legend 1/100 Kshatriya in today. Getting the shoulder armor to clip in was kind of challenging because of the angle it had to go in. The neck ball joint needed to be lightly sanded to stick the head on otherwise, I'm not sure if the head would have ever went on. Additionally some of the side parts of the giant binders had to be installed. Luckily nothing was missing or damaged. The figure itself has a very impressive paint job with a few very small imperfections here and there, but nothing to get mad about. Joints are all super tight, especially the ankle joints which take a lot of force to get going. The spring and locking mechanism for the binders works as intended. The metallic red paint used on the mono-eye catches light perfectly and really brings this figure to life. Detail is excellent and not over done like the 1/100 metal club version. The steel legend one will fit pretty well with other GFFMC and metal build figures. Articulation overall is good for the design, but due to the nature of this design you won't be getting any yoga poses. I wish the binder opening was more anime accurate and opened up to expose the fin funnels without having to take the funnels on and off. The robot damashii replicated this feature without any issue so it's kind of a bummer this figure can't do that. If Steel Legend could make a compatible stand that could support the weight of this beast I would probably buy it for aerial poses. All of the joints are friction joints and while they are tight now, we shall see if they can still support the figure in a few years. For a first figure from a new company I think they did a pretty good job, they just need to work on some tolerances here and there. While some liberties were taken with the design, this is one hell of a 1/100 kshatriya toy to behold.

I think they do if it's still in stock.

It used to be a much easier process, but now it's more of a headache. Filling out there forms and finding a DHL hub to drop it off at is annoying. Furthermore, you will have to pay a large sum of money to ship the item back and while AJ does refund you the shipping cost....in theory it's a hassle compared to Amazon US.

My Wing Zero can't be this cute.
