    Dengeki Hobby posted some further detail shots of the Kämpfer being displayed at the Tokyo Tamashii store. I just noticed that the base has nice touch with those street markings printed on.

    Please tell me this will be 1/100 scale. Aside from the usual candidates, a Falguen and Gilgazamune would be great to have. But with the three HMR Dragonars being very good representations, I find it difficult to get excited about model kits now.

    Nice official 40th tribute by Sunrise themselves.

    The -1J head is fine but, but oof... that -1S head needs some getting used to. Maybe it is the angle, but it looks like there is way too much elongation at the faceplate/chin.

    Takara showcasing MPG Seizan, release is this weekend.

    Same here, cancelled my YF-29 just last night. I figured I will be able to get this locally before HLJ ever fulfils the backorder. Also the higher shipping costs these days eats up any savings on the actual item, so that it overall tends to be slightly cheaper to go locally. What annoys me with HLJ a bit is that weeks before release they keep sending you reminder mails that you have something on pre-order, then it is release day and... nothing, no information that they could not fulfil or that they put you on backorder – a complete lack of transparency.

    Master Grade Narrative Gundam C-Packs. Ver.Ka was unveiled at the latest hobby show. Not sure I care enough and good luck to anyone outside of Japan to get their hands on this easily at normal price.

    This came out of nowhere. Not big on the VF-19 Kai either, but hoping Max Factory milks this into the VF-19S/F type. It is refreshing to see the LERX as a block at the back of the Battroid and not incorrectly hanging off the main intakes like how all the toys do it.

    I think a lot of the classic LucasArts adventure games would make for great animated productions. I mean Monkey Island would be such a fun watch if done right in regards to story and humor.

    The ship CGI stuff that JTVFX does is wonderful, a good understanding and perception for scaling ships/objects properly – something that I would argue is lost in modern productions.

    The whole point of this, is that Unix Square is trying their hand at a reinterpreted design of the VF-1. One can like that or not, but coming in here expecting it to be anime/line art accurate is kind of a fallacy. There are already plenty of options for that "accuracy" in toy or model kit form available. Personally I am liking most of it – especially the slimmer chest plate and heat shield not being flush with it as well as the smaller spacing between chest and backplate. A reminder that the VF-1 is supposed to be a compact mecha in Battroid mode and something that is mostly lost with the current toys by Arcadia and Bandai. If I could have my way, I would flip the inner and outer lower leg casing, shorten the fuselage to nose cone transition and I hope the head will sit lower.

    https://www.taghobby.com/archives/738551 I like that the blue colouring is not too metallic, but errs more on the matt side.

    That is some nicely engineered torso and shoulder articulation for the YF-21.

    Pre-order: 2 October

    Correct, but there is also the recent Shin Getter 1, Laevatein has just released and Sirbine as well as a Ryujinmaru are soon to come.

    Don't forget Gamlin's -22S, greenish-grey with yellow stripes for the win!

    Trust me when I say that I already know what that word means. 🙂

    Lovely. If only we could get a new show with our beloved G1 Transformers with classic vibe and attitude like this.

    I like what Pose+ is doing here, but I still need to get used to those rounded hips and thighs. Feels a bit out of place with the rest of the angular design.

    You know I'm reading this and I'm seeing scenes of 08th MS Team and Gouf Custom flash up before me – not Kämpfer. You sure you are not mistaking the OVA here? 😛😄 The special forces/SWAT team connection has never occurred to me, but I can see how that would make the Kämpfer somewhat special amongst other Zeon MS. Hmm... interesting, the Geara Doga has always been the more "German MS" for me, especially for the head design. And I'm not really a colour guru, but to me it's a long way between the Kämpfer blue and German grey. I guess it boils down to the MS design not really being in line with my aesthetic preferences, that very bulbous and somewhat squat main body in combination with the wider looking hips throws me off. Thank you all for your input on the Kämpfer. I'm torn, on the one hand I want to give it pass, but on the other hand with a possible Gundam NT-1 (however long that might take) it would be a great companion to have in the collection. As it is P-Bandai, it will be well over 40k Yen to get a pre-order in – I need to contemplate.

    I like it and will pick one up, and with WWM this should be a relaxing pre-order phase. I'm glad there is a company that acknowledges YF-21 as three mode mecha in total and not just a future fantastic fighter jet with some type of half hearted bonus modes tacked on.

    A novel and bold move by Bandai to initiate a new animation entry in the Metal Build line with a non-Gundam or non-hero mecha. I guess that means to also start saving money for the eventual MB Gundam NT-1 release (Chobham armour P-Bandai release ). Maybe someone can explain, but personally I have never understood this love affair for the Kämpfer. If my memory is not failing me, it featured briefly in one episode and didn't really do anything noteworthy, only to quickly get dispatched by the NT-1?
