F360 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Bunch of Gundams in a Detolf without a stand reminds me of a elevator scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 So this bundle one will have the 00 Raiser marking? Hmmm. Then I'll just get the bundle instead. And probably sell the extra KO Seven Sword that I have and the original 0 Raiser. Btw any updates on the KO GN Buster Sword Rifle option set?

eggy99 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Being an aussie, I just haven't been able to put money aside for Yeti stands, and as it is, AUD to USD has been quite poor lately. Actually the MB stands from Bandai are quite attractive, as they feature the name, and specs etc on the base, which is quite nice. They're definitely better than the plain Bandai DX Valk stands. Like F360 said: Gundam without stands in a detolf really is like the Captain America 2 elevator scene. LOL - such a great analogy It's pretty cramped already. Poor old MC 0 Gundam can only just stand there (also he only has a display base). Edited January 9, 2017 by eggy99 Added photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nice. I guess, I'm the only who's displaying my RD Gundams like that. I'm running out of shelf. Hahaha! ^ Deja vu. Kinda felt like I already said this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has an eBay list but it's around $124 including shipping. Probably just to cover eBay fees. So I decided to use his site directly this time since I already bought my first 2 00Gundam Seven Swords from him on eBay. Thanks F360! Some seller on eBay told me that it's coming out probably after the Chinese New Year. So that's sometime in February. But the price he gave me is kind of high so I'm having second thoughts if that's the actual price. It's around $160 shipped according to him.

eggy99 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) I was quoted $170 AUD for the Fanmade Turris Babel from my local retailer, but after F360's comment about it being lesser quality than MoShow's quality and also some.other peoples comments about it (on YouTube), I decided to hold out for just the MoShow.

mog_kupo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So, you guys would recommend gettin one of this chinese MB? I 'm interested in the 00 Raiser by Metal Club, I know that it wont be the same quality as Bandai, but is it worth it at $110 USD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it looks great for a KO/3P product. And I just ordered reently the 00 Raiser for $102 so I think that's a great price compared on getting the original from second market around $350-400 something. Just saying about the price point though. So if you're going to ask me, yes it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy99 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 chyll2 : thanks for the images of the Turris Babel. I will probably wait for more impressions of the Turris Babel before I decide to buy it. I know from experience that MoShow quality is top notch (their MB Plus Strike / Mecha Warrior was fantastic), so it's a safe bet to buy the 0Q0 (LOL @ the model number - but don't care). I think MoShow only needs to improve their release naming. FanMade has the right idea there. Turris Babel is an interesting name. Much better than Mecha Warrior - or even the misspelling - Mecha Worrior HAHA). I'm eagerly waiting for the anticipated Trans Am 00 Raiser from Metal Club. About Metal Club KO releases. Impressions from buyers is that they are VERY good KO. Only some minor issues (green clear parts not as clear as Bandai, tampo a little bit rough), but there are significant structural improvements over the Bandai releases, Namely that the joints are much tighter. I think I read some are scarily tight, but at least that is better than too loose, which is problem with Bandai's releases of the 00 Gundam. Both of my Seven Swords are pretty floppy on all joints. It can hold a pose well enough, but the tightness is much looser compared to Bandai's more recent releases - Red Frame, Strike Freedom. A light bump can move the limbs quite easily. I think I read that the foggy clear green parts have been fixed on the 00 Raiser release, so that is pretty good. I think there should be releases of Strike Freedom and Destiny in the Metal Club line this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it could've been better was if it came with some Bandai-style Phase Shiznit Armor stickers.

kajnrig Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't remember the Avalanche Exia ever having that weapon, either. To my knowledge, the AE has the same weapons as the stock Exia (ie the Seven Swords), just moved to a storage rack on its back/shoulders.

Yeah, give it to AE too. That big sword doesn't look right with the 00Qan[T]. Just saying. Btw, did you also preordered one? You know what I'm thinking too since I have an extra 0 Raiser? Convert it to XN Raiser. But I have to check the KO one first if I can disassemble it. Don't want to customize the 'expensive' Bandai 0 Raiser. Hehehe.

I'm still thinking is over, the first Metal Saga was ok but not great like Moshow, but those pic pretty much got me. I'll probably order it before I go to sleep. Love the XN Raiser ideal, but I have only seen people customizing with the model kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ah, thanks for the pics. Yeah, that's the Avalanche Dash, not the original Avalanche, but it's still odd that that weapon was never reproduced on any official model kit or figure. I guess it must have been dropped somewhere along the way. Anyway, it looks pretty frickin' neat. Now all it needs is to be able to split into two.

There was no official Bandai kit for that big sword however you can get it from third party conversion kit for the MG 1/100. And those splits. Hope the one that comes with Turris Babel splits too.

eggy99 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Finally got around to watching that YouKu video, and the Turris Babel does look a little rough compared to MoShow's Mecha Warrior. It has a 3rd party look to it. A little bit messy mold lines, and rounded edges. Not at all sharp and defined like the more recent Bandai Metal Builds or MoShow's Mecha Warrior. Here is a really nice unboxing post of MoShow's 00Q/0Q0http://www.dachong.gz.cn/read.php?tid-87532.html Detailing is leagues better than the FanMade. I think that the FanMade has the feel of a KO gunpla with metal frame. Even the articulation is better on the MoShow - see knee bend. FanMade is 90 degrees, where as MoShow is almost 180 thanks to the sliding thigh armor The GN Sword V is much better too. FanMade blade is all clear plastic, where as MoShow has the opaque white part in the middle of the blade. MoShow really just has much better colour separation and also a lot more tampo.
