  • If you're a newer fan of Gunpla, you might assume Bandai's recent handling of the brand is normal. Once I walk you through Hyper Plamo Fes 2024's return to form, you'll understand just how much they've been holding back. Welcome back to 2018, and what the hobby used to be like.

    Update: The Requiem for Vengeance kits do not appear to be P-Bandai. I don't know how or why I believed this, but I've double-checked since several people have pointed it out and all signs point to them being standard retail releases.

    Purus are pretty popular in Japan, that's probably why she got the kit over Haman. Also that The Psyco Mk II was one of her main suits which they also announced in the same post.
    I would expect a Haman FRS with a MG Qubeley 2.0/verka or something

    I feel bad for MG fans but I agree that this expo has been nice. Though, unlike prior expos, there's not been an airing show like previously. Most expos had both new and old lines happening simultaneously, while nowadays it seems to be happening one at a time. It's a big step in the right direction for sure, but we're not quite at the 2010s level of content just yet.

    • @Channel2S

      I feel like Freedom is recent enough it still counts as new/ongoing, since it's still debuting in new countries and very fresh in everyone's minds.

      ​@@Channel2SWhile true, I wouldn't say the amount of MS that's been releasing isn't comparable to a full series like IBO or WFM, not saying it's a small roster by any means but it's a film and not a series, so the amount of stuff is naturally less. Not that I'm complaining too much since I got Duel Revive, it's just a matter of waiting for the Buster now!

    I don't think the RFV kits are p-bandai or at least I haven't found any source that corroborates that fact. If anything a western-produced gundam made for american audiences would be way more likely to have kits be retail releases because from what I understand p-bandai operates in far larger scales in asia.

  • @NZP208
    @NZP208 Před 4 měsíci +2

    A few years back, while building the gundam ver. Ka, I was thinking of how I would make more articulation and the core fighter gimmick both in one kit without an extra stand-in piece for the core fighter. It seemed simple at first, just put the articulation in the core fighter, but the more i thought about it, the more i thought could be very loose and wouldn't work out. Then bandai releases the rg 2.0, hopefully its very solid just like recent real grades. I hope bandai could do this for other scales like mg or pg

    To add, the Lightning Buster is basically a Buster Revive, since the entire thing is 90% original Buster design-wise, just that the missile hatch on the shoulders have been moved to the all-new backpack that replaces the Buster Weapons. To add to this fact, we saw updated versions of the same weapons on the EG Gunbarrel Strike for Gundam Breaker 4's Collector's Edition, meaning an Option Parts Set of that is a no-brainer, though I expect the original Assault Shroud and Duel Shield would be included with the Buster Weapons, even more so because of one infamous scene of the Duel from SEED's finale.

    With a v2 of the RX-78 coming up, I really do hope that we see a Zaku II v2, as well as the Gouf we were supposed to get in 2013. I have to agree though, an RG Gelgoog would be absolutely EPIC. Really saddening to not see an MG announcement, or even an MGSD though.

    I know this is probably a hot take but I actually like the mobile suit designs from requiem
    I like the more mechanical approach they have and I like how while they're humanoid their proportions are kind of uncanny kind of like ACs from Armored Core
    Also just personally I feel any mobile suit design that thinks even slightly outside of the Box is going to have a uphill battle with the Gundam fan base liking it

    yeah the RG 2.0 is cool and all, but when will the tech from these special RX versions ever get put into any other design? It's almost frustrating, no other PGUs or MG 3.0s ever came, hopefully this one isn't just a one off as well.

    But dont forget that we have 2 MGs coming this year so I'm kinda ok with this.
    Gonna grab RG 2.0 though I'm not a fan of RG but it's a kit to commemorate 45th anniversary of the franchise.
