Well THIS is a surprise.
ReplyDeleteAfter all these years they finally took that final leap huh?
Took them long enough.
Awesome, but why its P-bandai?
ReplyDeleteIt's an obscure design that most normy fans of the franchise probably would know about and it's a remold of the HGGTO RX-78-02.
DeleteNeed I say more?
This would be $35 if it was general-release but they can get $70+ for p-Bandai on the secondary market. Same thing WotC is doing with MTG right now.
DeleteSecondary market? P-Bandai US IS a legit thing now. They do secondary runs on new releases pretty much within the next month so you can beat the scalpers.
DeleteI always wanted to see a HG revive of this. Granted, this is the Origin Style. So, this means that it will be rather solid and sturdy in most areas. I am honestly willing to buy this along side the GM Spartan.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY we get an HG Full Armor Gundam!
ReplyDeleteAnd despite being The Origin's version; there's nothing noticeably different about him.
This model has never been sold. Everything sold out before the sale even started. This reissue is no exception.
