JELEINEN Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Got my Gunbster today and man this thing is beyond awesome. I love this toy.

It's awesomeness, in fact, has completely overshadowed my Ingram breaking immediately after being opened. Also another late Gunbuster arrival here - and I nominate the Gunbusters transforming feet for Toy of the Year. I have absolutely no idea how they made those fold up like they did!

Mowe Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Why are you waiting for re-issue, now is th best time to pick one up from YahooJP or ebay for lower price than the original RRP. Got one a week ago for $14,000 Yen. Does anybody know if the Gunbuster is confirmed as being re-issued I saw that on HLJ its marked for future release..

Mowe Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I am a big Eva toys fan and the idea of removable armor is great, but seeing the pictures of the naked eva, it is just not as exciting as the Gunbuster and the Ideon, and yes it looks more like a mannequin than the raging beast...may be that is why it cost $90 instead of $180? On the other hand, the Ideon pics look truely awsome, I am so happy with the Gunbuster that I have every faith with bandai that the Ideon will be a well built toys and fun/easy transformation. You know, these latest Bandai SOCs are quickly diverting a good portion of my toy funds from Yamato... Yeah it's nearly all plastic but the colours are great, it's good value for money and it will make a fantastic mannequin.

chowyunskinny Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I like the New Soul of Spec Eva and I'm going to pick one up. I kind of hope that they only do Eva Unit 1 though. Between the GX Soul of Chogokin Evas, the Revoltechs and now this Spec offshoot, it's just too much. But who am I kidding, the other Evas are inevitable especially with the Rebuild of Evangelion coming this summer. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just got my Gunbuster a week or so ago, problem is i am deployed so i can't even hold it until may, and that sucks. Luckily i had a sent to a friend's house who is watching my place for me while i am gone. Unfortunately all the toys and stuff i buy i won't be able to do anything with until then. I have a SHE perfect change getter robo on the way too. dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped that under the armor of the EVa their would be the true face with teeth and maybe able to open the jaw up.

Macross73 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 searched ebay and found some gunbusters total would be just about $220 +/- that including the shipping but I don't feel like spending that , since I want more Macross stuff. I may break down and just get one I just got the Walker Gallia today Its pretty cool ...small , but cool its the accessories that were included that help 6 differen Hands , the 2 guns and so on.

drifand Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Drifand, I liked Xabungle a lot but I'm not sure about Gallier, is it worth the dough? Don't know how much it costs you but I bought mine locally in Singapore for about 60 USD. It's 'small' but packs a lot of diecast, weighs nearly twice as much as Xabungle and is a lot sturdier too. All the joints are detented and diecast. I really like the thought the designers put into it - they've include quite a few new features and gimmicks that were never executed before in either the huge Clover DX, the 90's HCM, or the rubbery WMiA: - Elevating guns in the torso turret - Hidden clips in the arms and legs to secure the vehicle modes - Landing gear for the Gally Hover - Flip out search light - Waist joint! - Actual stowable fists (only when using the smaller clenched fists, but nice to have them) - Stowable bazooka on the hover fan assembly (hard to believe it took so long) - Elbows that can bend more than 90 degrees - Beautifully detailed tires (molded with the word 'INNOCENT') Plus the very nifty hover truck that can pack away the spare weapons and extra fists (but is not as easy to assemble as I thought!). The Durun Type is also excellent, although the long blue arms are a bit fragile - I fractured one of the spars (not totally broken) because I press down too hard when assembling it. Only one quibble: the feet (feet, not legs) cannot rotate forward, unlike all previous versions of the Galliar. Why? I don't know. This means that when you pose the toy with one leg forward and one back, the foot on the back leg cannot lay flat on the ground. Instead, it wil be on tip toe (see my first pic). Ach! Still.. definitely worth it to any 80s Real Robot fan :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Deckard Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I' have really gotten into SOC and other chogokins in last few months partly due to great threads like this one. Actually I'm more into it now than Macross or Transformers, not that I don't spend money still on those too (just picked up 1/60 VF-1A Max and Queadluun-Rau). Just got done watching the entire Mazinger TV series, movies, and Mazinkaiser OVA and movie. I was only able to see Mazinger as Tranzor when I was a kid. Eventhough its very old the Mazinger series was really great to see again. I really need to take som pics of collection now as it has grown insanely in the last few months. Stuff keeps coming out and I keep getting good deals. It has really gotten way out of control. Last few months I've pick up: GX-01R Mazinger GX-01RG Gold Mazinger GX-02R Great Mazinger GX-04S Grendizer GX-07 Mazinger OVA (got 2 of these cause I love it) GX-08 Aphrodai A GX-09 Minerva X GX-10 Boss GX-11 Dianan A GX-12 Venus A GX-13 Dancouga GX-25 Garada GX-26 Doublas GX-27 Gaiking GX-34 Gunbuster Maxfactory Mazinkaiser Aoshima Kawai Limited Mazinkaiser Blackwing Aoshima Daishogun Aoshima Limited Daishogun Takara Brave MP-B01 & MP-B02 Ideon is looking pretty awesome too. I don't know that anime, but if he's anything like Dancouga I want it. I'm preordering a Brave Patlabor Movie version. I've seen the movies, but not the TV series. Does anyone know exactly what the difference between the Movie and TV series versions is? Edited January 26, 2007 by R_Deckard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiryou Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hmm, I think we actually discussed the Ingram differences before here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ic=21004&hl And yeah, Ideon is looking great. At first I was getting worried that they weren't going to be able to put the panels on the shoulders where the head gets covered by. But they pulled it off, and there's no big hole now. It's Bandai after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Deckard Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks for the link. I'm thinking the movie version looks the best of the 2. BTW, I did take some quick shots of Dancouga a couple months ago. Ebay haul last month. All for $234 New. Except GX-01R, he wasn't part of the lot, he sneaked into the pic somehow.

Golden Arms Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Nice pics and great collection BTW. I recently have gotten back to the SOC line as well. I just recieved GX-27 Gaiking. In the last few months I've bought the Aoshima Black Getter one, and the SOC Getter dragun. Deckard where did you get the Mazinger TV series from? I'd love to go back and see some of those old cartoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Deckard Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) I got it on ebay, but its an official release. All 92 episodes. It comes in a 3 package set, each package containing 3 DVDs. It was really cool to see it again, the english subtiles are god aweful though. The characters have a different name every epsiode.

Mowe Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nice box arts. The proportion of the Eva is pretty good too (I didn't like the Revoltech sculpt, they were too chuppy to be a beast). As an Eva fan, I 'll get one. I hope they produce more weapons variation if they make more Evas, and please Unit 005... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
