  1. 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.....😱
  2. 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!
  3. 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!?
  4. 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! 😱 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! πŸ€— 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!
  5. 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....😱
  6. Thanks, by the way I'm not seeing the image you posted....!?
  7. Has P-Bandai set a specific release date for this model yet? or is it still marked as just a November release? πŸ€”
  8. More MechatroWeGo type AT's from Hasegawa, Definitely not my cup of tee! πŸ™ˆ
  9. Ah, Cool! πŸ€—..... 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. πŸ€—
  10. 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!
  11. Wave is releasing a new version of the X-ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker in 1/35 with a regular Gilgamesh pilot figure... Not sure why they didn't do a 1/24 version for their new line!? Pre order on Amazon release in January 2026
  12. Did anyone pickup these two anniversary volumes?
  13. Sad Day, Great actress....
  14. I'm sure you'll like the figure, iT's quite impressive for its size and has some nice weight as well! Only down side is that they are also very addictive so plan to get another...πŸ˜‰ I'd recommend the Bloodsucker you should be able to get one from Mandarake at a good price!
  15. Yep! It's like large and small modules that then make up the large part of the castle! It's Minifigure scale and will be quit large. The main tower alone is almost 70cm high. But also expensive with the first two main building adding up to €450 and next years Astronomy Tower being rumored to cost €300...
  16. So anyone else, building the super detailed Hogward's Castle?
  17. The official Takara Atic Gear ATM-09-ST (Melquiya Version) is posted on thier web site! The new line looks quite impressive for their size! especially the detailing on the backpack and the weapons! Not a line I will collect since I'm really happy with the Hi-Metal R line from Bandai! But it's good that there is competition out there, which means even Bandai can't, just release a cheaply done version! πŸ‘πŸ»
  18. Looks like the 1/1 Scopedog standing at Inaginaganuma Station has gotten a new paint scheme for the 5th. anniversary.... where is the pre-order for one? πŸ€—
  19. This would be the wrong thread for that since it only covers the Bandai DX (VF-1) or variants like the (VT/VE-1) in 1/48 Series and not the VF-19....
  20. Ne`I think the tooling that's needed to be done on a 1/35 version of the Valkyrie would make it really expensive and also not as desirable as a series! After all a lot of people are still fine with the 1/60 scale! As for the VE-1 I'm still positive this will be a thing, since it is cannon and very desired by collectors, although it is only seen for a couple of seconds on the screen! The Super Ostrich showed that this kind of model is very desirable to collect! But it's sad that they are taking the time about it! If they do, do a 1/35 version it might be something special for the 50th. anniversary of the series! The release of the Roy Focker with GBP, was a sign that the series is not dead, thankfully! But we will have to be patient for future releases!
  21. Interesting shot of a Hi-Metal R Turbo Custom posted on X bei 四万十川.
