That's standard basic stuff for Bandai. Their plethora of Gundam Balls have articulated clamping arms and stuff since whenever! As such, I expect this HMR Regult to have sturdier solid plastic, compared to the rather softish-plastic of the old Revy's.

oh, my bad. TWE == Tamashii Web Exclusive. TWS == Tamashii Web Shop Basically, this Hulkbuster ain't gonna be offered as a pre-order item on regular import-shops like HLJ or Amiami. Usually... -
Added plastic hinged doors and gummy pilots should not add significant cost to the toy. But knowing Bandai, they'll add paint on the gummy pilot and charge triple by making it a TWE... ??? I don't buy any Toynami. I do have Revoltech Regults, tho. Still don't see the need for any more articulation on it other than knee-bends.
-
It seems that it's a TWE, so even more difficult to procure if you don't know japanese and you don't have an existing TWS-acct...

Meh. You're way overcomplicating stuff and overestimating Bandai. Bandai will just simply put a generic non-articulated gummy pilot inside their HMR Regult if they ever decide to. They'd included an upper-half-only non-articulated Klan-Klang on their Frontier Robot Damashii already, so there's precedence. Also My Yammie 1/60 Q-Rau fits her included Miria just nicely. No need for any complicated articulation. CM's Max was just an afterthought and from a different company, that's why we gotta take his boots off to put him inside his Q-Rau. Which reminds me, what damn articulation would you want to see with a Regult, anyway? It's an eggball with two sticks/legs. It can only do backward knee-bends.

geezus, you guys. "ab-crunch" is a very bad and very ugly idea for the valkyries. I think revoltech or some other had something that looks like an ab-crunch on their vf-1j or something, and it was so damn fugly.

not mine, but very nice and not as claustrophobic as it should be: saw it at http://hobbylog.jp/archives/1027121378.html

Bandai has a current propensity to limit stocks and cut availability on certain items they make/sell to shops to artificially drive up demand and further inflate scalper-pricing. Frontier chogokins and SOC Voltes V comes to mind.

Ricing a toy with different missile-loadouts is far more sillier. To each his own, tho...

Doesn't matter right now. It's sold-out/closed almost everywhere. Wait on release-date and maybe some legit online-shops will have some rare stocks/availability. Expect higher pricing if you do find it, tho.
-
Does it really matter anymore? Prolly should just aggregate the various comments in this thread about it.
-
More additional possibly non-canon useless missiles (like the YF-19's) are alot more sillier than a rotating cockpit detail. Besides, rotating the cockpit adds to the satisfaction of transforming and playing with the toy itself.

still a great video for a great song from a great group...

t,ftfy. Which is what I already reckoned in my original posting. Nothing's really special about the engineering or manufacturing compared to the other SHFs I own. Bandai's gotta save up on some thing, so small-box and bare accessories. The box is still underwhelming both for the pricing and the prestige of the license.

btw, just saw this from http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=234845&pid=7493956 http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/outlander2201/287931_zpsenwym0u3.jpg

Quite underwhelming for a 4000y-msrp figure. That new kind of boxing oughta have brought the msrp down to the 2000-2500y range. at any rate, ... Joker: He called us "Droids". Master Asia: Srsly. Stormtrooper: It's this damn helmet's fault, I tell yah! Damn imperial designers...

Got my SW-SHFs today, and I'm a bit underwhelmed by the ST's boxing. Check them out. I mean, I got the ST for 3320y, but still. Quite barebones. In contrast, I got Camera Guy for 1900y new back in the day and that was barebones, while Joker at 2320y had lots of accessories. Reckon SW licensing-fees are expensive or something...

I can say, tho, it's not quite as supremely hilarious as the YF-29b po-shenanigans we'd documented here a few months ago.
