Rock Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Bandai announced the next MGEX (extreme!!!!!) model kit... The Strike Freedom. Unlike the last entry (Unicorn) which focused on LED Lighting, this entry will focus on the "extreme expression of metal" (presumably just the inner frame.) I wonder if Bandai is testing a new market that merges the best of the Metal figure lines and Gunpla again following the somewhat HiRes flops. https://bandai-hobby.net/site/mgex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since most of the metallics are just coating and not diecast parts. Feel free to post it here: Edited February 19, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese 3rd party market has been making metal frames for Gunpla for years now. They also have metal inserts and metal trim.

Scyla Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I don’t think I understand the thinking for the two options. I understand that Bandai wants to give people the chance of owning the Red Dragon without buying the new Astray Red Frame as well but why doesn’t the set include the parts you need to make it one? Like the additional pods on the legs. And why not include the Neo Caletvwlch blades but the attachment pieces for the regular Caletvwlchs (that come with a version of said pieces). I’m confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Dunno about full differences. The thing I can think of are - Rear and side boosters - Neo Caletwlch - Some silver part becomes black instead, ex. knee cap - New grey vents at the dorsum of each foot. - New decals You guys notice anything else?

The calves (new molded sections from top to bottom) Under the knee cap (new mold) Crotch section (new mold) Upper thigh section (new mold) for both the white outer armor and the red section under The feet (new mold, not just paint, or maybe using the astray blue frame feet?) Front skirts (new mold) White Ankle(?) sections (new mold) I noticed theyre using the first release astray red frame and not the alt version. I'd have to look at my alt ver to see of the noted sections (above) are the same or if its new molding entirely. https://www.1999.co.jp/itbig65/10656041a2.jpg Almost a whole new lower half for the astray red dragonics compared to the kai alt strike ver Edited February 21, 2022 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , we need them to finish the 00 series with a Kyrios , virtue , Nadleh or Dynames sniper version. with our luck the turds at Bandai are going to release the basic Strike for the 6th time.

The sad part is your are probably right. they will have just the dynames for sale , the backpack sold separately now , then an add on rifle , then a re release of dynames without the backpack and then a re release of dynames but with a small change to the box or a Trans-Am dynames. Bandais milking the franchise has made it hard to stay in this hobby as they re release the same products while the quality control goes lower and lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey728 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 On a positive note, Bandai is making it easier for me to break my toy collecting addiction so.. thanks Bandai?

I would like them to at least release Infinity Justice, all inclusive Akatsuki version, Providence, and Legend THEN they can either drop the line or continue doing garish Astray variants that people continue to buy. I want them to complete Wing as well but at the speed they're releasing and focusing on variants, I may have quit this hobby entirely or the last of Wing or SEED fans don't care to spend money on toys anymore. I would say time is ticking against Bandai as well when both series become completely irrelevant.

no3Ljm Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) It's not a surprise that people might think that it's SEED related due to the image they're using to promote the Live Event plus the Seed logo beside the Robot Damashii announcement which I believe it's a confirmed Seed Robot Damashii due to the translation. However, I know Seed/00/Astray kind of sell, I only wish they do something different this time. Make it RX-93 & RX-78-2 (not Origin ver) and I'm done with Metal Builds. Hahaha!
