    Do you think will have to buy the backpack separately?
  2. General Rasp
    I have both of those too and love them! I was hoping Bandai would do a Dendrobium to go with the GP-03 but oh well. I would also get the Apsaras from 08th MS team. The first version, the final version is a bit too outside my mobile suit tastes.

    Currently I have one from HLJ that was on pre-order and a second from BBTS for $270 (currently waiting on their shipment). If BBTS has extra I will probably get my third from them since they aren't going for less than $270. Nice buy, I was tempted to get it but don't have any connection to the mobile armor and running out of space.

    Yeah, the prices on the Black Tri-Stars haven't done down like the green Zakus. I regret not getting another Black Tri Star from HLJ when they got their shipment in.

    I am definitely pre-ordering tomorrow.

    The Strike does seem like a lame choice compared to the new OO Trans Am Raiser.

    https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/175960 Down to $110!! Go Go

    Will do. I am hoping they lower the price today but it might be a couple of days. I am also watching amazon to see if they put up a pre-order listing. They have the EVA 02a at $120 also.
  10. General Rasp
    I am waiting for the price to drop. They did the same with EVA 02a.
  11. General Rasp
    Same here. Have they posted any teases on what the metal builds could be?
  12. General Rasp
    Nice! I was tempted to one also but was worried about the nubmarks from the runner.
  13. General Rasp
    Got the weapon set. Going to pre-order the Robot Spirit Ghost Gundam tomorrow.
  14. General Rasp
    I will PM you.
  15. General Rasp
    Yeah, it is a TWE. I am debating ordering through a proxy or seeing if BBTS opens pre-orders at a reasonable price.
  16. General Rasp
    Up for pre-order soon on P-Bandai JP https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000161603/?orgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fp-bandai.jp%3A8443%2Ftamashiiwebshouten%2Fitem-1000161603%2F

    Review of Robot Spirits EVA 02 a https://hacchaka.net/archives/52072531.html#more I am happy I have it on pre-order.

    Well played Mafex, well played.

    Very tempting to get the TV series on blu-ray. But $274 is out of my price range and the ending credit not having "Fly me to the moon" kills it for me at that price. The website mentions there are future editions on the way so I will hold out and hope they have another edition with the end credit song.

    With a clear support arm and a whole shelf. I can't think a pose that won't take a shelf. Unless you have the effect behind other figures but then that defeats the point of the effect.
  21. General Rasp
    Both of the figures aren't out yet, but should release this month. The Kayodo build quality can be very bad at times with their EVA figures. And their articulation system can be very frustrating if you aren't used to it. I would recommend going with robot spirits by Bandai. See my post on the previous page, I go over the robot spirit line for Sqidd.
  22. General Rasp
    I have been tempted to buy that Wasp Girl but the last thing my shelves need is another random figure.
  23. General Rasp
    All three that you mentioned, Unit 00 with the NERV missile, Unit 02 Beast mode, and Unit 03 are all the older style. I personally don't have any experience with them. But if they are similar to the old Gundam robot spirits then they maybe iffy. The easiest way to tell the new ones from the old ones is the packaging. The old ones have the clear plastic front and the new ones have photos of the figures on the front. Below is the tamashii website I was using for reference. The older figures were re-released in 2012 and that is were the website starts. They don't list all the original figures. https://tamashii.jp/item_brand/robot_tamashii/1/?number=20&order=new&character=evangelion&sub_brand=&ck1=1&ck2=1&ck3=1&ok=Narrow+down+by+this+condition#category_search

    Amazing work as always Anubis! And yeah, that FAZZ is going to be a huge time suck.
  25. General Rasp
    Hey Sqidd, I have all of the current Robot Spirit EVA releases so far and others on pre-order. Honestly they were better than I expected. The biggest appeal is the articulation and plastic quality of the figures. Any pose from the series, movies, and anything in between can be done. It lends to the play factor because they are easy to pose and the designs don't have alot of kibble to get in the way (omitting EVA 02a). And they don't feel fragile for a 6 inch figure, Bandai has been using good quality plastic. They do have more paints apps than I was expecting. For example EVA 01 has the red details filled in on the face and chest. Even the bottom of the soles are painted. All the colors are there but no tampo markings. It doesn't bother me at this scale and the EVAs don't have a ton anyways. Bandai usually doesn't do tampo markings at this scale for their lines unless they are a special edition figure/line (Metal Robot Spirits or Ka. Signature). Joints on my copies have been nice and solid. No sagging or tightening has been needed so far. EVA 01 has been in a kneeling pose with his arms up for months and haven't had any issues. The knee joints are very will done, a smooth black knee cap in between the armor to hide the mechanisms. Similar to the Mafex EVA figures but at a smaller scale. The Robot Spirits are smaller than the Mafex figures but I find superior in almost every way. The Mafex joints are lose and some of the plastic feels grumpy or going to break. They take alot more effort to display that the robot spirits. I have been collecting the EVA Robot Spirits, Mafex, Metal Build, ThreeZero, and Dynaction. I have stopped collecting the Mafex offering once the Robot Spirits started coming out. If you like the Dynaction you will probably like the robot spirits, they took the spirits design and up scaled it. I am collecting the robot spirits with the hope that Bandai will do a full line up, same as you. There are some weird omissions so far, Bandai hasn't done an Awakened EVA 01 or a base EVA 08 from 3.33. That is probably because of the new movie releasing and I am sure we will get them at some point. One last thing, there are three EVA Robot Spirts released in 2010, don't buy those. They were released before Bandai revamped the robot spirit line and the earlier figures are crap. All the new ones have been released in 2020 and 2021. Hope that helps and apologizes if that too information!
