Full Metal Panic! Action Figures

[Atheonyirh]

HLJ should wake up and do their payment processing around 3-4 PM Eastern. That's been their pattern for a while, they do it first thing in the morning on the day of release. It's still 10 PM on the 20th over there at the moment, release date is the 21st.

Also one available on CDJ at non NY I mean scalper prices.  GO GO GO

there's one in chinese

Received my HLJ payment notice just now. I almost want to ship it right now instead of waiting for all the other FMP kits and stuff in the pipeline.

[Atheonyirh]

Got my payment notice from HLJ a little earlier too. Weird that it took until now, usually they fire off payment requests first thing in the morning the day the item comes out in Japan.

[Sanity is Optional]

Got a single email from HLJ for both my Arbalest and my HMR VF-1A.

Thanks, usually I watch another channel for reviews  

[VF-Zer0S]

Wotafas review is up:

Having mine in hand now this thing is amazing and wonderful. Oddly enough the one thing about it that confuses me is that the lambda driver cooling fins on the back are plastic, not metal.

Unless the current season of FMP IV became hella popular. 

[Atheonyirh]

Seriously, the Arbalest is love.

[kajnrig]

There's an effects part, too? Or is that something you added?

Those are the effects parts from the Lambda Driver version Robot Damashii Arbalest. Best equivalent would probably be using bootleg Tamashii fire effects, since those come in about the right shade of blue (among a lot of other colors) and are fairly cheap to get.

Wow. Just watch FMP Invisble victory Ep 4. Really a sad ending for arbalest

Thanks for the spoiler. -__________-

(not really it's pretty well known it gets beat and rebuilt, but still i thought that would happen later)

Invisible War is going through the remaining material really briskly, and apparently skipped an entire book or two while having rolled some of the few significant elements of them into this or previously into Second Raid (like ending the Tessa/Kaname/Sousuke love triangle thing that was sort of kind of maybe happening) for the sake of it. That and I think this show is only actually a single cour? So 4 eps down, 8 or 9 remaining to get through the rest of the current book material as I understand it.

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the story, so I figured the Laevatein would make its appearance nearer the end of this season, then they'd do one more 10-12-episode season for a final arc. But this being the pace isn't bad, either, just unexpected.

This is a 1/60 model kit, not the Metal Build. Will clarify.

EDIT:

So currently there are four versions of this coming out within the next month or three:

- Kotobukiya 1/60 kit (a re-release of the 2010? kit)
- Bandai 1/60 model kit (upcoming, pictured above)
- Bandai Metal Build toy ("Version 2.0" with updated parts, August? release)
- Aoshima 1/48 model kit (upcoming)

[Loop]

Ah ha!

[Big s]

With maxfactory doing the savage, is that 3 companies doing 1/60 kits? 

[kajnrig]

Four. Aoshima, Max Factory/Good Smile Company, Bandai, and Kotobukiya.

Speaking of the Savage: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4571&page=top
