kajnrig Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I don't know where you're getting "Xamel" from. That's clearly a D-50C Loto silhouette. Clearly. Quote

Wow, could be real since RD line is focusing on 0083...however, its gonna be quite large and pricey if so.... The one that everyone wanted a release in some form or the other....

Or have they made similar/larger RDs already? Either way, I won't say no to more 0083 ANIME designs. That GP01 looks so freaking good. Quote

ErikElvis Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Not super into gundam but I like enemy Mecha so I’d be very tempted by this Zaku (that is what it is right?). Quote
sumyumgoy Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Oh man, looking forward to the xamel. I hope they do all the 0083 mechs. Quote

I'm honestly quite shocked how little love the Justice gets when stuff like Astrays get pumped out in every single line. Heck, they're even doing a remake of the Freedom before the Justice Edited July 14, 2019 by Archer Quote
ps99042 Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Is this worth it? Pretty substantial discount...I'm tempted to make it the centerpiece of my display. Quote

If it’s tax free and free shipping then yeah, that’s a good price. But since it comes with tax, I suggest you check Mandarake. I’ve seen some from Y13000 to Y18000. However, you also have to factor the shipping cost from Japan. And this probably comes with a big box. I’m guessing the shipping cost (EMS to US) is somewhere between Y5000 to Y6500. So your estimate total is probably around Y19000. More or less. By doing that computation, I guess BBTS is the practical way to go. And they have better customer service just in case you will have problem with the item. Good luck. Quote

eggy99 Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka The RD GP01 Zephyranthes is a bit plain. It definitely needs the Metal Robot treatment. What I really want is a GFF Metal Composite / Metal Build GP01... Quote

Lolicon Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Bandai needs to Metal Build all the classic UC mobile suits. Or at least the MC treatment. Quote

Especially the dendrobium lol LOL! 1/100 Dendrobium! Only 3rd party maker would be crazy enough to try. Bandai would half ass it and do that half Dendrobium they've done in the past. https://hlj.com/1-144-scale-gff-0034-rx-78-gp03s-gundam-stamen-weapon-system-ban945813 Quote
kajnrig Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I mean, if you don't like your RD GP01, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands. IMO, it's the closest Bandai's ever gotten to a perfect GP01. Quote
General Rasp Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I think the GP01 looks great based on what Bandai is doing with the Robot Damashii line. Great articulation, proportions and accessories with effects. More markings would be nice but this is exactly what I want for this release. Plus if they complete the whole series in this line even better. If Bandai releases a Metal Robot later I will be buying that one too. Part of the appeal for me is having all the suits from the series in the same line. It is really nice having almost every single mobile suit from 0080. I think the last one to announce is the Zok'E.

anime52k8 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 That's a thing of beauty but the price is a bit of an ouch. Quote
seti88 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Finally a xamel!! Released after a quarter of a century? Looking good, that’s a shelf display piece more than a toy... Man as much as I want one, that’s one valk budget entry right there ... Quote
sumyumgoy Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Thanks for the pics! I'm definitely in for one of them. Quote
General Rasp Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I definitely will pick one up but man is that expensive for a display piece. The only reason they can charge that much is because they haven't made that suit in any line. They have to do a HG of the Xamel at some point. Quote
seti88 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Such a wonder that old school designs hold up after so many years... Quote
hkj711 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I've got the xamel from the old MSIA series from a long time ago. Even though it's old, it is still pretty cool! Quote

SAME HERE!! It holds up surprising well. I have a friend that loves the Xamel and will gladly take it if I don't want it any more. His is going to be so bummed when I tell him the price of the new Xamel. Quote
Big s Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I do really like the old action figure for the xamel, but I still caved and bought the new one and I’m just gonna call it a late birthday present. Quote
