Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
grogall replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
We just watched the new GQuuuuuuX series ourself! The art style isn't all that bad, the Mechs need a little to get used too... But not as bad as I thought! Any Figures announced yet? or just Gunpla models? -
Nope! https://www.yoyakunow.com/en/gundam/22199-metal-build-zeta-gundam.html
-
Nope, Same box and markings as the release in November 2024!

Please don't give P-Bandai any ideas! ðąðĪĢ

Thanks! I know since I also have one in the black box! But they could have done any other Valk to celebrate Macross since 1982 instead of regurgitating the third release of this VF-1J! ðĄ This Valk would have flown of the shelf if it was a VF-1A Brownie (Canon Fodder)!!! ðĪ
-
Great another regurgitated VF-1J! ð Instead of delivering something new that most people would actually buy... Like Max VF-1A D.Y.R.L or Kakazaki VF-1J from the TV series... Must be assigned to a low level product manager, with no knowledge of the series! ðĪŪBut eh! At least you get missiles wich should have been included with the first release! ð
-
Ooh! Look what arrived today! Looking Good! I'll mount a Focker later.... and one without all the Mech Guts! ðĪ

Yeah! We have Scopedog month, with the release of the ATM-09-SA with the ATC-BR1-S (Roundmover) backpack... Although the colour scheme may seem a little boring, it has enough differences in the markings to make the unit unique for the collection! And we also get a different pilot figure to boot. I was a little hesitant with the Bandai's HM-R line at the beginning, since in the VF-1 series there was a lot of compromise in the way parts have to be changed around, but they are doing the V.O.T.O.M line in a completely different approach! With most things opening or moving like intended! and the pose-ablility more like the Chogikin or DX-Chogokin line. They are also showing us that they will cover a wide variety of mech's from the series with the Bloodsucker and Fatty slated for production. And in the resent interview with the product manager Hitoshi Yanagisawa, he stated that Bandai will cover all aspects of Armored Trooper Votoms range from TV, OVA as well as Manga's. So I guess we will have to see how far they will take this line, But since we are only one year in and have three releases and two future announcements, the releases are quite brisk! I just hope we get a different colour unit this year as well! With this release I hope @jenius will finally be able to give us a review, and his overall thoughts in the line compared to previous releases from other manufacturers. With that has anyone seen a more precise date on the release? Or is it still marked as just "April" on P-Bandai's site? Also keen on seeing the box-art for this release! Just hope they don't screw it up like they did with the box-art on the turbo custom! ðą

Ok Thanks! Sorry, I didn't understand your abbreviations. So thanks for the correction! ð
-
Are you sure you posted in the right forum? Your post doesn't make sense, Sorry!
-
Great Article on the Development History of the Bloodsucker Package design isn't bad either....
-
Someone at Hobby Watch has posted lots of closeup pictures from the Tamashii Nations store Tokyo so I'll post them here....
-
@jenius & @treatment Thanks Guys for the Info, Maybe another squad for High Metal R line upcoming.... Well have to see how far Bandai is willing to go with the line!?
-
Could someone please tell me from witch OVA these Turbo Customs where seen in?.... Thanks! Also anyone know of a company that makes the Roller Dash effect without having to buy a complete expansion set? I already bought two from Mandarake each time I bought an additional High Metal R turbo Custom, Since I got the High Metal-R for 19.500å the additional 3.500å for the HG expansion pack 1, wasn't too bad since it's still under the 25,300å that you would pay for a Turbo Custom from Tamashii Nation but would be great to be able to just buy the effect
-
Well I guess it would't be Hi Metal R if it wasn't Hi(gh)'r ðĪŠðĪĢ But since I only recently was able to watch the OVA "The Unknown Red Shoulder" there wasn't much shown that make the Bloodsucker that much taller then the ATM-09 Turbo Custom's, But maybe Bandai Spirits is trying too distinguish themself from the recently released PLAMAX version!? I just hope that with all the extra joints that the thing doesn't start to get too lose in ten years and then can't stand up Hi... Small update since I received the Scopedog 21 C Masterbook from Softbank Creative published 2009, today, and it states that the X-ATH-P-RSC Bloodsucker has a hight of 2524mm - 2888mm Fully Extended so its definitely a feature this unit has.... But on another note there seems to be a miss conception on scale from High Metal R vs Bandais own HG model kits! The High Metal R is perceived to be 1/24 scale and Bandai's HG kits are supposed to be 1/20 witch would make them larger but it doesn't seem to be the case if I compare just the Hands from the ATM-09 Scopedog also things like the head are much smaller in the HG kit!? Never mind about the Scale thing I found out that the new HG Bandai kits are 1/35 not 1/20 like they used to be...

Hobby Japan-web has released further detail photos of Bandai's X-ATH-P-RSC Bloodsucker especially showing of the extension gimmick which was shown in the Magazine.
-
Might have found the original pictures for this conversion kit!?
-
Still one of my favorite Valk's, Yes it's sad that the VD-1D doesn't get as much attention as the other equipment used in Macross. Still hoping that maybe someday the will issue a 1/55 Chunkey Monkey version... But still very please with Bandai's 1/48 offering!
-
New magazine scans of the Bloodsucker, The extension gimmick is pretty impressive! ðĪ
-
Is there a contest on VF-1A Canon Fodder that we don't know about? Or are you guys using them for real life target practice? ðą

Head drops down way too much, and the arms are also not flush with the legs! Bandai vastly improved both of these shortcomings! I also find that everything is very loose on the Yamato toys. and the very spars printing of the details is what put me of from the beginning...

Our @jenius Has uploaded a video comparing the fast packs and accessories of the VF-19's, from the three different manufacturers. ððŧ
