  1. Guess what was just decided.... ðŸĪĢ Five years later......ðŸĪŠ Yep the The Melkia (Melquiyan) with the GAT-35 & and Backpack will be first, probably June! with a side release of the GAT-49min as well as a ATC-BR1-S Round Mover and the SMAT-38 hand missile launcher ðŸĪ— (Looks like Bandai is milking us for all it's worth!) 😝 Like the new magazines as well! All must have units! Wow this line is getting some really nice releases! Going to be an expensive year! ðŸ˜ą

    1/55's revisited

    I hope they print everything on this one! But I'm in! ðŸĪ— and would be really cool of they reissued it in the original Takatoku box! ðŸĪ—
  3. The official page is up for the Chogokin EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather UNIT 22,000円 release in July 2026... for the Chogoking RX 78F00/E GUNDAM Expo. Comes with an extra head.... where is the rest of the MSN-X17 ZEONG TypeMA?
  4. just for info! April reissue.... 😉
  5. Anyone see a review posted yet? Or better pictures of the box art? It's out today right....
  6. Yep, The Melkia with the GAT-35 & GAT-49min as well as a ATC-BR1-S Round Mover in another colour would really be great! Including an ATC-AFV02 Stinger (Hover Unit) is asking too much at the moment! But someday I hope to get into some of the vehicles as well! ðŸĪ—
  7. So on November 6, 2020 Bandai showed us the first prototypes of their Hi-Metal R V.O.T.O.M. line so just a couple of days over 5 years ago... Although it toke them some time to finally get the line going, the final product has turned out to be top notch! And having someone who is obviously a fan of the series in charge has really brought out some outstanding mechs so far! I think about a week after the FATTY is released next month, they will introduce us to either a ATM-09-ST Melkia or ATM-09-GC Brutishdog since the are polishing out the mould for the ATM-09-ST Scopedog releasing in February, and its cheaper for them too use the moulds for other units in this time as well... (It's just a guess) Also it quite nice to see that a lot of details that where initially shown on the three prototypes 5 years ago are still on the ATM units today. Like the four indentations on the foot locker the three indentations over the visor joints and the panel that is removed for the side armour-ments!The only down side of the series has been the price so far. but some deals can be had if you look around with the ATM-09-STTC going around 16,000円 at Mandarake. So lets see if the will actually do the Uhdoo arc as well someday soon! Well let's see how the next five years shape up! But looking good so far! 👍ðŸŧ
  8. Votoms Comprehensive Modeling Exercise 2025 is being held at this moment with even Bandai having a display there.... Sadly the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog in the middle of the display is not a Hi-Metal R version! But I'm sure it's coming soon! ðŸĪ— and one of the coolest dioramas I've seen!
  9. but also sad that they didn't include the regress seat for the pilot, its not like its a huge part, so it should have been included....
  10. Instructions are up for the VF-1S Armored Valkerie!
  11. not if you pull it out! Then the Enterprise falls apart....ðŸ˜ą The Minifigures look AMAZING!
  12. Its actually the mechanism to separate the saucer section!
  13. Looks OK!
  14. So the nest part of the Lego "Build The Most Detailed Hogwarts Castle" will be 76463 Hospital Wing wich attaches to the back of the Main Tower
  15. Still Find it kind of strange that the Hi-Metal R FATTY is the only V.O.T.O.M. marked with a US release, Someone should check the NY Tamashii store next month, to see if it's available there!? Don't want to know at what price though.....ðŸ˜ą
  16. Clearly for the price of roughly $400+ these are issues which should have been tested way before release! After all its a figure which should be able to manipulated into different posses! When I got one of my Bandai Turbo Customs a toke it through all of the paces and tried tons of different posses to see how I wanted the units displayed, in my display cases, and every joint did what it was supposed too. and this for a figure costing a third of the price! Not saying that Bandai is perfect but they sure make their stuff fun to play with without regretting it later!
  17. Its an impressive unit, but for 68,820円 it would have been more prudent to release a complete Red Shoulder Custom for that price to make up for past deeds! And if I remember correctly the joints weren't the only issue on the 1.0 version... I think @jenius said that one of his feet broke as well!?
  18. ThreeZero has released more information to their new 1/12 Scopedog 1.5 Saying that they have updated the joints! Honestly at the price they were asking this should have been done in the first place! And a lot of people probably aren't going to test if this thing will last like it should have, since they where already put off with the customer service on the 1.0 version! Anyone want to take it for a a new test drive at this price? Compared to the original 1/12 Scope Dog released in 2017, this Ver. 1.5 model features new paint finishes and upgraded joint structure. The shoulder ball joint and ankle joint have been upgraded to die-cast metal parts, and the shoulder joint socket has been redesigned for increased durability. Anyway good luck if you wan't to try it again! ðŸ˜ą I for myself will gladly stick with the Hi-Metal R version where I haven't had a single issue on any of the ones that I unpacked! ðŸĪ— P.S: Find it also kind of cheap that you can't mount any side armour-ments to this unit since the panels for that aren't removables! and a mounting hole is also not present, Bandai have added the removable panels to all of their units like the ATM-09-ST (SA) although it doesn't come with them, you can still remove the panels to mount them! Besides that the weathering is very impressive maybe someday Bandai will try this as well on a limited version!
  19. Thanks! Since there is only one version of this GBP, It will probably be 30% higher then retail, US tariffs don't effect me so I'm good there, but just hope it doesn't take forever to pop up on Mandarake....ðŸ˜ą
  20. Thanks, by the way I'm not seeing the image you posted....!?
  21. Has P-Bandai set a specific release date for this model yet? or is it still marked as just a November release? ðŸĪ”
  22. More MechatroWeGo type AT's from Hasegawa, Definitely not my cup of tee! 🙈
  23. Ah, Cool! ðŸĪ—..... Thanks! I Found some pictures online being displayed at the Tamashii Nations store in Tokyo.... Looks quite detailed although a release date or price hasn't been given yet!? Looking forward to adding this to my RX-78-E Gundam. ðŸĪ—
  24. I actually hope that Bandai will do a figure set in the Hi-Metal R line with Vanillea, Gotho, Coconner, and Chirico & Fyana in different outfits... or add them in different AT's I find that the figures that are included in the Hi-Metal R line are quite well done!
