INITIAL RELEASE
Release Date: February 2020
Price: 1,430 yen
Premium Bandai announced the HGBD 1/144 Eldora Daughtress from Gundam Build Divers Re! Based on the Daughtress mass-production mobile suit from After War Gundam X, this customized version serves the Eldora Army with a distinct design and a powerful new weapon.
The kit features a newly molded Multiple Barrel Rifle with a deployment gimmick that lets its four barrels unfold into a maximum beam discharge configuration. It also includes a shield, with the gray color scheme and purple details reproduced through molded parts and foil stickers.
Interestingly, the Eldora Daughtress was later followed by the HGAW 1/144 Daughtress, released in October 2020 using parts developed for this kit. So the speculation about a standard Daughtress GunPla was right on target!
Wow Bandai, that's so lame of you.
ReplyDeleteOh course the best looking grunt suit in ages gets to be P-Bandai. T_T
ReplyDeleteAlso it's newly moulded? What the hell is up with Bandai's decisions to make things P-Bandai these days?
Unfortunate that this is P-Bandai, I would've bought a few. Hoping the inevitable HGAW Daughtress doesn't meet the same fate.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled, the body is very similar to the Leopard from build fighters try. Doesn't mean we'll see an actual daughtress.
ReplyDeleteYou say that but those are some new arm joints
DeleteAccording to the product description page, it's all new molding.
DeleteBandai appear to be changing gears with their Build releases. Instead of trying to squeeze a little more equity out of old molds, they're preceding new molds (e.g. Justice Knight) with Build variants. I'd expect to see a retail base Daughtress followed by P-Bandai variants.
Dude, actually compare the two kits. The Leopard from Try is skinny and tall. The Daughtress is short, chunky, and has different proportions. The TRY Leopard has no hardpoints on the arms, while the Daughtress has one on the side and one on the back. If you look at the elbows, they're also completely new.
DeleteDo some research before you make a statement like that.
They share ZERO parts, not even the frame. Just look at the elbows, back of the knees, and hands.
DeleteMake no mistake, this is actually a NEW MOLD. The joints look different, the back of the lower arms have a hardpoint..... I mean, look at the elbow joints and the knee joints. They're not even close to be somewhat similar.
DeleteI havent had the time to watch the show yet. Is that some sort of dividing missile launcher/beam gun, or some sort of grabby-thing gun/beam gun?
ReplyDeleteIf i remember correctly,It’s a beam rifle that can rapid fire, like a machine gun, or shoot a singular beam blast. When it divides it can shoot a bigger beam blast, while keeping the rapid fire functionality
DeleteBandai: "Oh hey, let's make a kit of that really strong grunt MS that Sunrise just spotlighted in the latest episode of that Gunpla commercial"
ReplyDeleteAlso Bandai: "Hey y'know that strong grunt MS? Let's make it an online exclusive!"
ONORE P-BANDAI!!!
Well...at least the claw gun thingy looks like it's gonna be actually articulated pieces unlike whatever Woundwort's was
ReplyDeletebandai, plz, can't u just be cool for once???
ReplyDeletejust let this on become retail, the builder world will thank u
Well, P-Bandai means all those purple cameras and highlights will be foil stickers, and the crappy wraparound kind, too. I'm honestly not sad I'm missing out on that. Clear parts would have looked so much better; even the painted model here has so much chrome in that purple they look like stickers already.
ReplyDeleteEasily spottable stickers on the image.
DeleteAn AW Grunt suit? Yes please. (Also holding out hope for the Berigo as well as the Frost brothers Gundams)
ReplyDeleteAlso, P-Bandai.
Wonderful (sarcasm)
