Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

[SuperHobo]

If strike freedom is done by the same designer as the MB Destiny, then I'm sure we will be in for a treat. Initially I didn't want this, but the tease of the redesign has me interested.

[F360]

another one added to the list. now if only they start making some MB JusticesS

[eggy99]

Very nice.

Hope the dragoons have some nice detailing and gimmicks.

Might be down for 2 so I can display 1 in full burst and the other with dual beam sabers or combined beam rifle (ala Seed D opening).

Still my wish is for a MB Perfect Strike with all 3 striker packs.

Hold on, is this a Tamashii nations summer event exclusive?

[chyll2]

@loop

a question we will have answer after 4 days.

[joppewo]

Nah, the event is just to showcase upcoming releases.

Only the year end event in November will have event exclusive products.

[Loop]

Ah, thanks for the replies. So will they announce the pre-order date then? I so dont want to miss this.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

yeah when do preorders go up?

[joppewo]

MB Gold Frame was teased in Nov '14 with a release date Jun '15.

So I'm guessing a end of year release, or January '16, so pre-orders are still at least a month or two away.

GUNJAP reckons Fall 2015 (so Sept/Oct/Nov)

http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=247605

[F360]

Once I know the date , I'll do my norm, set a couple of alarms on my phone calendar , and check here and there for updates from the normal shops , and if I forget , cdjapan will probably sent me a nice pre-order email to remind me . Then there's bbts and thetoysource for the morning after, ,

If it's a release like the MB Avalanche exia then i'm pretty much stuck with N-Y or BIJ.

Metal Build Red & Blue Frames (not surprisingly) announced too.

[eggy99]

Oh wow! SF is very aggressive looking like the MB Destiny. I like it.

Also digging the 2 Astrays. I'm definitely down for a Red Frame.

[chyll2]

SF has beefy shoulder, legs and hegs but the torso went on diet. I am still gonna get it though. imo, the Astray(s) are better in subtle way when compared to their painted MG counter part. Though I am sure and everyone will agree, that similar to Exia, we will see more variants for Astray. Though imo, the best Astray is the basic Red Frame with Katana, which goes to my next question, where is Gerbera Straight

[Scyla]

Any release date on the Red and Blue Frame?

I now almost nothing about the Seed Astray series but I assume that the Red Frame will come with his giant sword. Does the Blue Frame has a signature weapon besides the beam rifle?

irc, the first one to use the Giant Sword or the Tactical Arms is the Blue Frame (Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise) and later the Red Frame was upgrade to Kai and got one as well.

I am not sure on the Signature weapon of ABF since it every upgrade to it has changed the overall performance and looks of the MS while every upgrade to Red Frame has retained the katana, Gerbera Straight and later on, another katana, Tiger Pierce

Thanks for the reply. The problem is I want a Red and a Blue frame. The images make them look like they are exactly the same. However for my collection I want to different looking mechs besides the color. I always liked the load out of the PG Red Frame so I'm ok if it only comes with the Gerbera Straight, a Beam Rifle and a Shield.

So that leaves the Blue Frame for something different and I want to know what I could expect.

I'd love to get a Blue Frame Second Revise with the orange highlights and the giant transforming sword.

Edited May 29, 2015 by Scyla

[chyll2]

I guess just wait for more details for the Red Frame, I also agree that the load out for PG (or P-bandai MG and RG) is the better Red Frame.

For Blue Frame, just skip it, both Astray will follow the same fate as with Exia MB (I, R2, R3, Repaired, Avalanche, Dash, Trans Am)

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

is strike freedom coming out first?

[xrentonx]

Nice! I'm probably gonna order the red and blue frames.

[F360]

Bandai's out for blood this year , announcing and releasing tons of stuff left and right. I hope the MB Strike Freedom stays under 30,000 yen. The MB Astray is a surprise , I mean we kinda know it's gonna happen but wasn't expecting it so soon . At least from the pics it looks like just painted up samples so hopefully it won't be out until end of the year or early next year . If those Astray comes in plain basic issues gun/shield/beam then at least it's price should probably be under 14,000. Then they can sell their option packs for them .

This line must be doing pretty good for Bandai to focus so much more on it .

I can't wait for their announcement of Metal build Strike gundam with Aile pack and then a Skygrassper with launcher and sword pack add-on options pack . and Justice where's my Justice?

[Loop]

Wow, they are putting a lot of these out. I want 1 of each of them lol.

Don't get your hopes up too high with HLJ.

They've been opening up many high-demand "order stopped" products today, so it MIGHT be a system error which has happened before.

[Scyla]

I've got an order in with the Gold Frame but no notification yet. I will keep my preorder with BBTS while I got clarification from HLJ that the order is secure.

haha exactly the info I am looking for when I clicked it.

[joppewo]

They should update the page sometime later with the necessary infomation.
But as with regular Tamashii releases, we can expect pre-orders to open either at the end of June, or start of July.
