anime52k8 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 kinda hard to tel from the pictures but I think that's a stripped out screw on the forearm side of the joint. Quote

F360 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 can you take closer pics of the elbow joint... like if we can look inside? Quote

Grey728 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 @Sandman You're better off returning it. I just checked my Zaku and confirmed that it is a twist point. I even tried to pull it out while twisting and mine was secure in place. The joint even feels a bit loose but it doesn't at all feel like the arm would fall out at the socket. Quote

That looks like dry glue on the edges , so maybe it was just glued in place from the factory. The little nub from your previous pic looks too short to really hold anything in place with out some other kind of help . Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Definitely looks like either a stripped screw/socket or a peg-in that the glue gave out on. Quote
bleecher Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Hey Kuma Style, if you haven't ordered those EVA heads on showz yet they're instock and both the regular and 2020 editions have arrived. I gotta say the paint and sculpt quality is excellent. Quote

I'm sold on the head but not the shoulder pylons, they look rather large to me. Also the price is a little high at $50+ and just for the head I don't know if it would be worth it to me. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Oh wow, really like the head change. [edit] And now there's one on the way. Edited October 10, 2020 by Sanity is Optional Quote
Grey728 Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 I just installed the head only. I could never unsee the EVA-01 looking like the Grinch that someone here posted a long time ago. Quote

Has anyone else purchased 1 of the 8 Gundam Metal Build Freedom 2.0 from nathans82? I know they have been released and havent been able to get a hold of him or respond to any of my DMs. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 hmm... the alternate head has some things I like, but also some things I don't like about it. the shoulder poldrons are cool but I've grown to really like the MB's original backpack and the play pattern of the sockets. I do think having neon green ankle guards really improves the color scheme significantly and I wished they did that from the beginning. Quote

General Rasp Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) At the end of the P-Bandai webpage there is a teaser for F91. Since we already have the F91 in metal build form what other suits would they do? Woot!!! P-Bandai US has pre-order page!!! https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2548073001001 Edited October 13, 2020 by General Rasp Quote

anubis20 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 The only bad thing about the US shop is that they ship in nothing but the brown shipper like in Japan unless you buy 2 of each. Chances are the box is going to get smashed in by FedEx. If you don't care about box condition then its all good but if you do its really a gamble. I have MB White gold frame coming next month from them so we will see how that one turns up. Quote
Kuma Style Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Did an overseas Crossbones order because I "needs it now in the future!" but yea. I'm really excited for this piece. It's pretty much the one Metal Build I wanted in general. Quote
Jaustin89 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Astray Blue frame and one of my Luancher Striker packs came in today; not enough time to realy do much with them but I oppened the Launcher to check it out. Unfortunately I can confirm that there isn't any way to connect the cannon with the Aile Striker attached so a Perfect Strike is impossible unless; the standalone Aile Striker pack has some extra holes, Bandai releases a full Perfect Striker set with modified parts, you mount the armature for the cannon in place of one of the lower engines on the Aile Striker, or you drill a peg hole in the Launcher Striker shoulder unit to mount the armature to that. The stand that comes with it is not particularly impressive on first glance being just grey plastic with (at least on my copy) a lot of sprue marks but looking at the construction there's a lot of modularity in how you set the stand up and you could, in theory, get up to 5 Striker packs mounted to a full stand depending on if you can get the packs themselves to pack together tight enough. There's the configuration shown in the promo images with one pack on either side and a single connecting piece with a third pack; but there are three positions for the connector and they're spaced far enough apart that you should be able to get all three filled if you have enough connectors. The ends of the side mounts also have joints that you can separate and with extra pieces could insert segments giving you extra peg holes for mounting as well. Quote
