kajnrig Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 6 minutes ago, Slave IV said: Same here! I bought it a few months ago but it's my first anime statue (I think) and probably my last. it's nice but I figure I'd rather have action figures with unlimited poses. I can appreciate that perspective. Having built many a Gundam kit over the years and experienced the highs and lows of greater and greater articulation at the expense of "accuracy" to the source material, I've come to appreciate a model that just sits there and looks good. Hopefully this one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this one does. Yeah, it's nice and looks good for sure! Part of my regret was I waited until well after it was released to get it and didn't want to pay much for it. I got it on sale for slightly less but then about a week later, it went on deeper clearance for a lot less than I got it for so just annoying that I should have waited a bit longer. The figure itself doesn't disappoint in doing what it's meant to do...look good in the one pose so you should be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgebacks Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Got this for about 26k Yen, brand new, SP pack included. Compare to the 29B, the right wing engine rotate joint is just a bit too loose. Gonna use nail polish tighten it after work. ps. man, my One M8's cam didn't age well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous on both counts esp the first photo. Looking right at you David and Anubis. Jealousy aside, got these today. One for Hayate. One for Messer. And one for Hayate ep26. Or if that one doesn't get made, I have one for just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) just luck I suppose.. its a 1/200 scale by Dragon.

spanner Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 from the best of my knowledge no one ever made a model of the second prototype which had the cantered wings. It was the better aircraft which was unfortunately lost when a F-104 got too close and collided with the Valkyrie and they both crashed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
