Bandai isn't making model kit based on what the fans want. But, based on how many retooled. an that's making me slowly quit gunpla. I support the shows. but, looking forward into the future. I might only buy from third party sources.
The Black Tri-Stars used this Zaku exactly how many times in the Anime? Zero? Why does Bandai insist on making fifty million different versions of this Zaku?
This is what I can agree to be a P-Bandai kit... a simple re-color
Kits I hate being released as P-Bandai: - MG Sandrock Custom EW - MG Altron - MG Heavy Arms Custom EW - HGBF Cathedral Gundam - HGBF Gundam X-Jumaoh - Extra parts from the Tekkadan Set (They could've done all the extra parts as a Tekkadan option set with a box as large as a regular kit w/o the 4 HG IBO kits included) - HGIBO Dainsleif Graze from the upcoming Arianrhod Set (I don't care about Iok's Graze, but the sword and shield for the Reginlaze Julia can easily be a part of an option set or just put those in with the new parts for the Dainsleif Graze on an Arianrhod option set) - Other kits that the GunPla Community wants but was let down by those kits being P-Bandai
Reason: The kits above can sell very well (at least from what I, or many of us can see) even as a standard release. I know there are more kits that don't deserve to be given the P-Bandai treatment but has been given such, but Bandai is still a company, a business... it needs to profit... Sad.
Types of kits that I think deserve a P-Bandai treatment: - Simple color swaps (Example: RE/100 Bawoo Mass Prod. Type) - Color swaps with a few new parts/new weapons (HG Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze)
I'm sorry for this long post. Some of you may agree and/or disagree with my thoughts about what kits deserve to be P-Bandai, but hey, the community is still strong, right?
Want to cheat? Just wait for rg hm zaku decal set. They include matsunaga's and black tri star's emblem and mark, then paint it.

ReplyDeleteJust like is happening with the MGs. A bunch of P-Bandai recolors.
ReplyDeleteWe need more MSV kits... Mg, RG or hg.

ReplyDeleteA P-Bandai release that makes sense.
