Trying to figure out how this got MG treatment and the Zaku II Kai got made into an RE.
ReplyDeleteYou make an extremely compelling point
DeleteIt's a matter of investment. This one can be used as a base for every variation of the Zaku Warrior in SEED with almost no modifications, hell the regular Zaku Warrior is simply a green version of this. Meanwhile, the Zaku II FZ would be just a grunt suit with no variations so not enough reuse potential to push out... I know it sucks but just think how much it costs to develop a modern MG kit...
DeleteBecause it will be cheaper and more benefiting for Bandai if they can re-use the frame to make more variants rather than making a completely new one. Simply speaking, Bandai will only release kits which are potential to be 'milked'.
DeleteYeah, but...who will be buying all these MG Zaku Warrior variants?
DeleteThere's no market...
@Team Albatross
DeleteDon't underestimate how much the Japanese love Gundam SEED Destiny, even if most of the time that leads to them buying more Strike Freedoms.
@Team Albatross
DeleteSeed Zaku is BEST Zaku
@TeamAlbatross
DeleteI am the market
This has potentially more P-Bandai variants?
ReplyDeleteStandard Version
DeleteDearka Version
Yzak Version
Ray Version
That's just off the top of my head, there are more obscure Zaku warrior variants like the Zaku splendor they could release.
And maybe even the Gouf Ignited
Not to forget Heine version as well
DeleteYou can add also the Slash Zaku Warrior and Kerberus Zaku Warrior. Zaku Warriors has so many variation more than you expect. Its normal that Bandai will milk it and rather reproduce new variations on P-Bandai. Just wait for it, they will come.
DeleteI'm interested on how they will recreate the beam axe storage on this one
ReplyDeletelooks like they didn't
DeleteGimme that P-Bandai Live Concert Ver. that I know is gonna drop
ReplyDeleteSlash Zaku Phantom (Yzak Joule custom) next please.
ReplyDeleteDon't give them any ideas!
Deletethey always have that idea dude
Deletethat will go to P-Bandai.. definitely
DeleteIf this has the Zaku 2.0 as a base, it will be fine. I am just flabbergasted that Bandai is releasing a grunt suit from a 15 year old series. But whatever, it is a cool suit in nice colors. 100% buy for me. I bet we see Rey's Zaku Phantom in the future, as well as some of the other variants (Gouf Ignited?).
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I wish they had come out with the Ginn instead. Much cooler looking suit.
"flabbergasted that Bandai is releasing a grunt suit from a 15 year old series"
DeleteUhhh are you familiar with the jegan and gm sniper II??
Those are UC suits, not Alternate Universe. It is kind of a different sort of thing. And the Jegan at least was featured in Unicorn.
DeleteI am not mad that they are releasing these kits, on the contrary. I like the Zaku Warrior. I look forward to the P-Bandai variations too. It is a cool design. I still would rather have had the GINN, but I will take the Zaku Warrior. Hopefully we get stuff like the Dagger and its variants too.
This shows how bandai really loves SEED
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason, it is one of the most popular Gundam series ever in Japan. It has some cool designs for sure, but the anime was largely trash.
DeleteThat said, bring on the Dagger variants!
SEED is good tho but seed destiny is trash
DeleteSold, no questions or discounts asked! Now i want the 4 other variants!
ReplyDeleteBandai, give us Infinite Justice 2.0!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteSimple, this can develop into other variant which can become P Bandai and zaku FZ does not .
ReplyDeletei smell P-Bandai slash zaku phantom, damn i want it so bad.. hopefully it's not p-bandai
ReplyDeleteDang Bandai going all out on this one. It looks like the brought back the cloth piping to connect the gun to the backpack.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if i'm wrong,Does it use the old zaku 2.0 frame?or a completely new frame?
ReplyDeleteIt's a completely new frame.
DeleteBut can I stick the Gunner backpack on the back of my Blue Frame?
