I'm not sure if it's official, but from what was posted before, Type-D will be a separate optional parts. Meaning you have to buy an extra Type-E if you want to display both GN-Arms Types. Imagine the amount of space it's going to take. Again, not sure if that is the official info for it. Edited July 27, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I’m looking forward to the Providence Gundam. Finally a new mold that is not a re-shell (like the Deathscythe Hell), a remold (like the Gold Frame) or a straight up repaint (like the Patchwork Crossbone). I wonder if it will be a regular release or a TWE. I think the last regular one was the Exia Revise. Makes me think that Bandai is shifting the majority of MB releases to be TWEs for an unknown reason. Maybe for preventing scalping, over production, over saturation? But probably only the over production part really concerns Bandai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pafy6285 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 just an FYI, it looks like P-Bandai JP might be cracking down on proxy sites as some were already banned. I believe some MB (well also applicable to any PBandai products such as DX Chogokins,etc.) collectors here prefers using proxy sites, so I think it would be wise to look for other sources in case all proxy sites are banned.

Well, my shelves are full anyways… That said it would be great if either Bandai would make the TWE items available everywhere in the world or if they release all molds as a retail item first and put the repaints into the TWE. But this is not what will happen is it? At the moment, most Metal Build releases are not available at regular retail.

Scyla Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Got my GN Arms out of the box. It is super nice, chunky, detailed and pretty stable for what it is. I love the powder blue finish that Bandai uses for it. Makes me wish for a Metal Build Ptolemaios. Maybe not the in scale ship but the Ptolemaios Arms from Build Divers. Could combine with a Gundam too. What I don’t like is the fact that the cockpit doesn’t tab in so it flops around during handling. Also it feels like you are bending the plastic panels near the attachment points of the "skis"/landing skids when moving them into position. I'm glad I bought it since it is always nice to have some variety on display and not just blue/white/red Gundam suits on your shelves. Now give me a Skygrasper, Bandai; pretty please.

[edit:] The ¥30,800 is probably without the Japanese sales tax so the markup is not as steep. Edited August 8, 2023 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
