    Friend said the p-bandai site has closed its pre-orders for the Yokohama Gundam.

    Aiyah... so it was here. Yea I guess it would be a proxy service fee, shipping difference and a slight markup for another 20$. I think its a bit safe to say that most gundam related stuff should probably make it to the US market one way other another in time. Try to save the proxy service options for Macross related stuff. XD

    Yea I know... -_-. I couldnt recall where I saw members saying they ordered it. But wanted to share as soon as I saw the news. A friend wanted to get it. As cool as it looks and during these times I had to pass on it. Plus about the same price I would probably lean towards the PGUnleashed instead. Annnnnnd I shouldnt be talking because I just bought HT Warmachine MK6 from Amiami at a really marked down price (235$ + shipping costs). I had to settle for ferry and couldnt justify spending 95$ on shipping via dhl when it'll just sit in my storageroom after it arrives, lol.

    Meh... this was probably the best I was able to find regarding the detail of the final render used in the movie version. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/672584525592752482/ Although the detail lines up more accurately with the final HT version (the serratus, abdominal section does look indeed flattened out opposed to the prototyped HT version), I guess I'm just bummed out that they didn't keep the thiccboi features from the fight scene... wider shoulders, chest section... Even with that render of Tony 'suiting up' it shows how much Marvel's animation artists needed to adjust the suit to fit RDJ's frame. Where as other shots of the movie the armor seemed like a muscle suit around him. There was even a shot of Tony waking up Capt and meeting up with Thor (but I couldn't find a net reference image) before the end fight with Thanos and it showed just how wide the mk85's shoulders were. Too much cinema magic... it's like they got the idea from macross... lol jking. Meh it is what it is I guess.

    Honestly I'm not so irked about the headsculpt. I already knew the head version shown from the prototype made RDJ/TS too 'clean', 'chiseled' and 'healthy' looking. There wasn't enough age and wear on his face. I wasn't getting the mk 85 for RDJ's head but for the armor. I didn't compare the final version to the movie version, but initially the prototype is what sold and caught the attention of the fans (especially for me). I'm aware they had a 'prototype - subject to change clause' on their pics, but they could've given it a fair heads up seeing how many places required deposits up front. Not that anyone who put a ~70$ deposit down would've cancelled at that point. I don't want to flood the thread with comparative pics but there's enough from their fb final product picture thread and pics shown on sideshow, bbts, etc for comparison (unless sideshow, etc updates their listed pictures). https://www.facebook.com/hottoys/photos/a.10157703421847344/10157703413802344/ https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/marvel-iron-man-mark-lxxxv-hot-toys-904599 I thought it might've just been the color painting scheme/arrangement/pattern change at first but then realized how much of the sculpted detail on the body (and maybe the actual proportions) were changed. The flared edges by the clavicle/chest/shoulder area (the amount of lines and the actual curved feature of the chest plate). It went from a more pronounced wave to a lesser one with additional and more straighter lines which don't follow the flow of the new curved feature as well. The abdominal/rib/serratus section no longer looks has the organic muscular like features, but more flatten out and drawn out panels instead. The shoulder covers seem to have been flatten out or less rounded out, making the overall appearance look narrower. And yes they actually changed the sculpt of the shoulders too... a few panel lines suggest they made an actual change. And I speculated that maybe they changed it for articulation purposes, but it seemed to me that their prototype version had no problem with poses. There's probably more, but I decided not to dig myself a hole of dislike and accept what is going to be released. IE. Rib, shoulder, neck sections: Yea I'm guessing/thinking the same way too. It's a nice gesture that they're offering a replacement for the initial headsculpt, but I was originally sold on the armor... I really liked the 'organic' look of the prototype and less of the 'flattened' version of the final. EDIT: Just realizing it now since I looked at the legs, they also changed those too. It's like they went with a wholeeee different version. lol.

    They did alot more than change the headsculpt. If you look closely they changed the torso (& abdominal area), and shoulders (aside from the head). The initial version had a great amount of detail along the rib caged area of the figure and now it seems to have been simplified.

    Thank you for the information. I wasn't aware, but it makes plenty of sense. I'm not expecting it anytime before the end of the year anyways due to all the delays (it's to be expected).
  9. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    nothing here either atm.

    Going to keep it short. You're right... not completely true, yet still holds very true. I too have an order at MSRP and NY still continues to play that game with fulfilling orders that came later at higher than msrp to fufill. I've been a customer with NY for about 8 or 9 years now and they still pull the same crap... not even responding to tickets and beating around the bush with their online chat. They should just cut the online support off and go 100% with supporting/answering their tickets instead... seems like NY can't do anything right except for those that want to put them on a pedestal.
  11. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Did you pay msrp or did you pay NY at their marked up price of 35k-ish jpn yen? Edit: It seems that all Roy orders NY is shipping out are the marked up prices. NY is probably going to wait for the paypal protection plan to expire on the msrp orders so they can force them into store credit.
  12. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Did you obtain one at msrp or at NY's marked up price?

    A year ago the plastic on several spots the inner frame (mainly hip & pelvic area) of the hirm wing zero failed on mine due to deterioration. Essentially a chogokin dx vf171 scenario.

    Damn Nippon-Yasan! The original shipping was 7300 for SAL for my two rg phenexes, they credit me 3300 for going with freight. The shipping label lists 2350. Wth!? 1650 for packaging?! Oh and it still got smushed a bit. Wasn't ironclad.
