    I have the Pale Rider Space Type, and have ordered the Titans Calvary Type and Todesritter. I definitely agree that the stickers were really disappointing, but the design and overall model are pretty cool. I plan on painting and customizing all of them so the stickers aren’t too big a deal. If you can find them for a decent price, I definitely suggest picking them up if you can.

      @@zethythonix The Pale Riders (and Todesritter) are a mixed bag. SOME of the stickers are kinda unavoidable due to the option of building it in "normal" or HADES mode. OTHERS like the ones on the shield (ALL THREE OF THEM) are pretty inexcusable. The Pale Rider Ground Type's shield is the same as the GM Striker (which had no stickers.) The Space type's shield has huge blocks of color and COULD have been done without stickers. The Todesritter's shield has that large white emblem that could have been a separate part. Regardless for mine I threw out the decal sheet for each one (except for the "eye" stickers that goes behind the visors) and painted mine. The Todesritter has its own share of issues, but I still like it a lot (I'm just a big fan of the line since I love GMs and GM related machines.)

Those old hg have their charm with simple hollow design and build with tons of polycaps.

    For the Geminass, I kind of get why Bandai did what they did. Unicorn, Astray and Wing are always top sellers and make Bandai a ton of money, they’re reliable sources of income. So it makes sense why Bandai would put in time and money to making those models good, because they can reliably guarantee a better return on investment.
    But the Geminass is a suit from a manga side story that is a bit of a cult classic, not exactly the huge mainstream property like Unicorn, Astray or Wing. So Bandai is making it, fully aware they aren’t going to get a huge return on their investment for making these new molds, so why put in more effort than required? I mean, the Geminass is pretty much one of the only kits on USA PBandai that hasn’t sold out already, along with the parts set for it, the Dictus, Mark 5 and that bust of the Unicorn.
    This line of thinking pretty much explains all of Bandai’s Premium decisions. Does it suck? 100%. Is it pretty consumer unfriendly? 100%. Should a majority of P-Bandai be retail release? 100%. But, I can see why they are making these decisions from a business standpoint.

    • @zethythonix
      @zethythonix  3 года назад +4

      That’s an excellent analyzation here, you have my full respect.
      However, we can’t let them get away with ‘just a business’ excuse. They are earning so much from all their products and I am sure it’s not hard for them to treat them a little better. For example, the Geminass arms joint could’ve been a peg joint, it’s a simple change and logic but they still failed to deliver the design to the collectors. This is the part that proved my points and people should be aware of it.
      Investing more in the popular designs is not wrong, delivering these kindergarten-level mistake is wrong.

    I disagree on rick dias 1.5 - yeah, it's a shame we've got only slightly upgraded kit instead of the full revive, BUT it's still 10x better than the original one. Used plastic is much better to work with, it has nicer colors, details are much sharper, articulation is also much better... the only thing I was really dissapointed with were the weapons (come on, we already have better clay bazooka mold from dijeh and hyakushiki revive) and lack of improvments in the head and backpack area.

      4) I am a OG fan of Build Fighters, first of all, Try turned into 3v3, except the protagonist and main teams, all the other teams got the other two people is completely useless and just there for filling in the gaps.
      The main protagonist have no idea how to fight, what is gunpla or what is Gundam, all he did is to rely on Sei's gunpla extraordinary finishing, then when the model is wrecked, he won't learn or participate the repairing, it's all Yuuma keeping Seikai's gunpla alive. Secondly, all he did in the entire show is Jigen Haō-Ryū Kempō, everytime he's about to lose, either the power of friendship helped him or his gunpla is just ridiculously overpowered to the point that it can't be wrecked. Overall, the protagonist have little development, even his teammates and opponents have more development than Seikai. The only development he have is to getting girls, but not training his gunpla skills.

      @@zethythonix different tournament with updated rules and formatting. The extras were fine enough. Sekai I feel is the ideal combination of both Sei and Reiji. He has Reiji's main character traits mixed with Sei's earnestness and determination. The adversity that not only Sekai, but Yuuma and Fumina face in the show is definitely there and it's awesome, especially in the middle.
      Also, of course Sekai fights using kenpo as that's his entire fighting style.
      Sekai mainly just goes through the motions at times when he isn't fighting cuz those are his personality traits.
      I will agree on the whole girls thing tho.
      Why Fumina fell for Sekai when Yuuma, her childhood best friend, is RIGHT THERE still baffles me.
      With Gyanko, it's more of a crush based on compliments to both her love of gunpla and her shield.
      With Shia, she sensed how his determination was very similar to that of her brother and grew very fond of it.
      Unfortunately, it was taken where it didn't need to be taken in Island Wars.
      Plus, I love everything in the 2nd half. One epic fight after another, some of the best gunpla designs I've ever seen, amazing bits of character development, and a very satisfying payoff to the goals that were set in the Nielson Labs arc.

    @Kr0zBoNE 3 года назад +1

    Just want to share my thoughts and experience:
    Unfortunately for those who enjoy variety, like colour or equipment changes, it's not economically beneficial for Bandai to release them as regular and then have to deal with low sales and surplus problems as a result. They are just not mainstream popular. Which is why those kits moved to PB on quota. Becoming "limited edition" status is bad enough. If you missed the order window, good luck waiting for the next batch (or any at all, sometimes in between years / anniversary runs).
    There are comments that those are also a result of voting. What voting, and why is it not a global or regional participation from the gunpla community? How severe of an effect, I'm not too sure. But there is always some kind of voting on what kits get released and we can't seem to be involved.
    You also paid more for any reuse of runners. Usually, you are able to at least swap parts or do alternate builds. On the rare case, you end up having large amount of junk parts, unfit for kitbash/recycling due to them being specifically made for that MS.
    Stickers that are purposed to "reproduce" the part instead of supplementing. Lack of colour separation when it doesn't make sense - you already provided clear examples, so I would like to add the HGUC Sinanju Stein Unit 1. A new, large detailed mould for the High Beam Rifle, but they couldn't do separation like in the Narrative Unit 2 (cowl and internals). The rest of the kit had great colour separation, so what gives?
    I've also noticed PB plastics have more injection swirls and are getting weaker - more prone to breaking and looser joints. Parts sometimes have fitting issues on different sides.
    I have the X2 HGUC too, but skipped it on account of the colour. Real glad that the RG version came out in the end though, and that build was great. I'm worried on how the X0 full cloth will turn out. Seems like PB kits are really hit and miss nowadays. I enjoy the builds, but I think they require a higher skill ceiling to look and perform well.
