I think all Strike releases are the same in built. The only difference usually are the color and markings. From what I recall, the 10th Anniv version is close to the first MB Aile Strike release which also has that ab crunch articulation.

Yeah, I need to be careful putting them on in the correct direction once I get mine. It would be obnoxious to struggle to attach one just to find out you put it on the wrong side. The connection reminds me a lot of the ones on the Yamato/Arcadia ARM-D carriers for the SDF-1. I had a hard time attaching mine. Thankfully it has only two. With my two Hi-Nus I have 12 Fin Funnels to attach… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened to Metal Build Strike 10th Ver and 00 Raiser TransAm in P-Ban.jp, but it was released as p-ban everywhere else as a FCFS drop, aside from 00 TransAm not available in US, so not all hope is lost on this one.

That's what I was thinking, these event-exclusive releases have a high chance of being released a few monts later as P-Bandai items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXis10z Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 These Tamashii items usually drop on the various P-Bandai sites on the same week/day the Tamashii event opens in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the show exclusive one is in Deactivated Mode? To me it seems unlikely to put the money into new tooling and use it only for an event exclusive release.

MAYBE BBTS, based on previous history of P-Bandai exclusive metal build drops. Its a big maybe, and expect them to tag extra markup on top of whatever price non-JP PBandai sells for (if it drops at PBandai USA at all) Edit; I quoted the wrong message, was suppose to reply to weiser21.

Arky Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 FYI for those that are unsure about the Tamashii Event exclusive figures. The event happens every year is to show case upcoming figures ( Prototype or Finalize figure ) and News for the following year ( next year drops ) These Figure that drops during the Event for purchase can only be purchase through a Tamashii Club membership account without one you can't. I believe the lower membership also has a lottery entry purchase too ( which they get the early bird figures during the event for pickup) there are regular Tamashii store figure you can buy if you walk in. For Tamashii Club member depending what membership level you are on gets to buy first. For all the listing happen on P-Bandai JP site for the Tamashii Event figures, those are all lottery entry only ( which you need Proxy, if you failed to be chosen to buy Proxy refunds you back ) There have not been once Tamashii event figure drop in US Pbandai site. The most hope you get is to see it show up in NYCC/SDCC and is the figure from previous year. Not trying to pour cold water for the ones hoping to see it show up on US-Pbandai site but that has been the case. You may see the Event figures show up in some of the Japanese Site/store like after 6 months after around that time frame when the lottery entry winners get their shipment. You can try search for it at that time, most likely dew to buyers canceling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
