ReplyDeleteA P-Bandai for a pair of hands, and a Beam Spray Gun. Should've just been in the retail release.
ReplyDeleteNew chest, new backpack, new crotchpiece, and modified shoulder thrusters. They're basically modifying it to be closer to the original GM Guard Custom instead of the "GM Sniper Custom recolor" with a new head, knees/calf thrusters, an accessories.
DeleteAs someone who complained about the laziness of the original release (but bought it anyway due to how unlikely it seemed that they would ever release the kit) it feels nice to be catered to for a more accurate representation of the machine.
The skirt and ankle armor is still wrong (the ankle armor I can forgive since it was kinda silly how it wraps around the whole ankle.. but the skirt armor should have been fixed too.) But I'm still gonna pick this up as a "thank you" to Bandai.
CV69?
ReplyDeleteNice...
Same sticker sheet as the original. Kinda late to the party. =\
DeleteSeriously this should've been the standard release!
ReplyDeleteI COULD NOT agree more!
DeleteFinally Bandai! We've been waiting for the original GM Guard Custom design!
ReplyDeleteunnecessary pbandai release
ReplyDeleteNot so much so unnecessary considering how lazy and badly done the retail kit was. Then again this should of been it from the start
DeleteHmm...welp, not having bought a standard Guard Custom, I see no reason to get this one. An extra pair of hands and dual beam guns? Sign me up, brother
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is the GM Guard i'll be getting as it's pretty much the version that's in GBO2, what with the special Beam Gun and the shoulder vulcans.
ReplyDeleteThe added arm guards are neat. They appear to have wire claws like the Schwalbe Graze.
It having new hands is also a good sign as the retail kit could barely hold the shield from what i've heard. So here's hoping
This should've been the only version made, to be honest.
Man bandai should of really just released this as the retail kit rather than making crappy gm sniper custom knockoff version. It's such a annoying cash grab move....
ReplyDeleteThey can't even be bothered to making a left trigger hand for a kit that comes with two guns?
