Just some pics I took of the MB Astrea II display prototype at the Tamashii Nations World Tour exhibit in Akihabara. Honestly in person the color is a bit very light mint green...I hope they make it a bit more gray and military in the final release.

MB Dragon Scale Sirbine.

MB Leviathan Arbalest Reference and emergency booster. Love the booster, dunno if I'll get another Leviathan just to color match it.

That’s a bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to something that is devoid of any color.

Yeah I know right? Hopefully they get some feedback and adjust....the promo photos are much more monochrome, like the M9 Gernsback.

[Scyla]

I’m disappointed that the Dynames doesn’t come with a stand that decals match the original release.

It is understandable that it comes with the Devise decal design but I would rather pair it with the original Exia than the Devise one.

^^^ this is what it should be. I like the idea of a prototype being flat/matte gray , the M9 is a work of art itself in the MB line up.

I appreciate the links but I think I stick to the official stand, even if I would prefer a different deco.

I just wished Bandai would keep it consistent with the stand design (and packaging). My favorite design is the one with the icons for the armaments on it.

While I havent been able to find those individually for sale on ebay , there are people that buy the sets with missing pieces and part them out. I have never used this guy but his ads are all over ebay for "replacement parts". If you look through his store youll see he parts out model kits and metal builds..

https://www.ebay.com/itm/373975763462?hash=item5712b14a06:g:sOkAAOSwdSFhFBtT the "Strike Rouge Bracket" is $25 and i think its what youre looking for.

Thanks for sharing.  

The short arm stand I was referring about I believe came from Astray Red Frame Kai or the Blue Frame Second Revise. Justice has it as well. It's the adjustable arm stand that you can also attached to the main display base. See photos below. (Photos from Hacchaka.)

The white one on the top right.

The white one on the bottom right.

 

I'll try to reach out to the seller if he can get those short arms. Thanks!

OHHH now that you showed the photos , I do know which one you are talking about. See how many he has , lets get a group discount going lol

Isn’t the GN Arms Type E supposed to be released this month? It will be hefty shipping it out of Japan.

I show 06/30 as a release date. You know places like Luna Park and Nin Nin are foaming at the mouth thinking about how much they are going to inflate shipping

 

In Retrospect , I spoke to soon. I pre ordered that DX Chogokin Liger which is set to drop in a couple of weeks. I dont see that being a small affordable box

Yep, I have the DX Chogokin Liger on pre-order also, I am not looking forward to the shipping cost.

Not sure if it's real. Next Metal Build is Maximum Perfect Strike (Alternative Project Ver.)?

Edited June 14, 2023 by no3Ljm

[68whiskey]

No way thats real....

 

Then again I wouldnt put it beyond bandai to sell each accessory individually and then altogether and then altogether in a rouge bundle with a grand slam that looks nothing like the original. 

[lechuck]

Hacchaka has a review up for Shin Getter 1. Looking forward to receiving my copy, but a bit worried about the wobbly hips, waist and ankle joints mentioned in the review. Hopefully just an isolated case.

Hopefully this comes to fruition. I have resisted any white Strike Gundam and packs until now, speculating on Bandai actually doing this.

On a bit of a side note. Has anyone else gotten their liger yet? I received mine today and the regret is setting in
