Knee Joints

......... Why is this P-Bandai....? They planning on releasing the original as Retail instead or something...? Or they think the old version is enough to stay as retail...?
ReplyDeleteIdk, but I think the latter was the case on this one.
DeleteHeck yeah, bought!
ReplyDeletethats hilarious
ReplyDeleteLooks like Bandai is finally doing the 1.5 treatment for HG kits now. That's pretty good. Hopefully, they will include other older HG Mobile Suits to get 1.5 versions.
ReplyDeleteLooks to be taking the fixes from the Build Gamma Gundam I see.
ReplyDeletewell seeing how the gamma gundam wasn't really a brand new kit its no surprise this ver 1.5 of the rick dias is pbandai, still a shame tho
ReplyDeleteSo, its a reissue of the Rick Dias with the updated parts from the Build Gamma Gundam huh. Not really sure if its worth it considering its gonna be P-Bandai.
ReplyDeleteSo instead of completely reviving the kit, they bamboozled us by selling this 1.5 Rick Dias kit on P-Bandai. Goddamnit.
ReplyDeleteFirst the Gamma Gundam, now this? JFC, just make an HG 2.0 already, Bandai.
ReplyDeleteDang they did the Rick Dias dirty, you'd think they'd honor one of the first hguc kits with a proper revive.
ReplyDelete"you'd think they'd honor one of the first hguc kits with a proper revive"
DeleteThey did four for that. Guncannon, Gyan, Qubeley and Hyaku Shiki.
