The Third Party Gundam Thread


Recommended Posts

Easy pass for me. I wasn’t a fan of the official BNarts release and a KO probably wouldn’t change that unless there was drastic material changes - namely less exposed diecast and a matte finish. 
 

Actually... it might be a maybe for the right price since I’d feel less precious about completely matte spraying a KO to get the desired look as opposed to the official one.

I'd love to see your results with that because I've tried matte spraying pre assembled, gloss pieces before and it did nothing at all.

Interesting. I’ve never tried it myself. Perhaps the gloss coating already applied to the piece inhibits the matte spray from adhering to the surface. 

I know there are members here who have successfully matte sprayed their DX Frontier valks, but those are gloss molded as opposed to coated, although their are some painted gloss parts on the DX Frontier valks. *shrug*

Has anyone seen this or have one? Curious if it would be a good alternative to the official release and avoiding paying 50000 yen.

The 666 Kshatriya they make gets good reviews. And at $130 it's hard to go wrong. I'm not paying 50K for a Bandai either. I PO'd one.

I'd wait and see. The Kshatriya was their design (figure not the character). This one is a KO of the Wing Zero. Given that they're copying it and the figure has a lot of moving parts, it might not end up as expected.

I already rolled the dice. I'll let you know how it turns out.:D

I have zero, I have snow white on preorder, and yet I still kind of want this. I think I might have a problem.

You got notified for the kampfer? I have a PO in for it and I haven't been notified yet.

I got notifications to pay for those two. I'm assuming that means that they're getting ready to ship. I've never had a Show Z PO before. IDK.

Most likely both of these are coming in stock some time soon. I didn't get notified for Kampfer yet, but that's probably because I could be in the 2nd batch of pre-orders. I knew Sazabi is coming soon, but not this soon :lol:. Going to have to figure out how to pay for all of this.

When did you PO your Kampfer?

I put in my PO as soon as the news went up about the kampfer. I'll check with them just in case.

I wonder if one of these enterprising companies will try to one-up on the Metal Structure Nu since Bandai has revealed their hand.

Sigh I already mentioned its coming....in two different scales. Hold your panties
