just wondering, in gunpla community do people actually care about this kind of rare items? considering there's so many scratchbuilders out there
a bit curious because u'll rarely see rare gunpla scalped like crazy. Doesn't seem much profitable compared to other kind of toys

so model kit used by military since WW2 is a toys
got it

Yes, its my own opinion. Maybe I'm just thinking to much....
To quoted a line from the Lego movie, 'it is recommended for aged 14 and above, they need to put it there'.

That movie made me felt a bit guilty to my kid since all my Lego collection is off limits.

issit panel lining + matt top coat? 

I'm only interested in this 

This is seed we're talking about here, the backpack is the main character, the suit is only an accessory.

it's weird though, that Bandai didn't reserve December slot for Hi-Nu Ver Ka
unless more badass Ver Ka coming soon? 

How is the build quality of metal build compare to MG?
is the articulation and joint as strong as Metal build? durable for play, or jz for display only?

Hey Bro, thanks for your detailed analysis and information, I truly appreciate that.

Ya, I agree with you that none of the figure is durable and playable, but I just looking for gundam figure that at least the joint is not so fragile, and can hold some weight.
Besides, for me as a no experienced collector who doesn't know how to assemble a PG gundam, metal build probably should be my only choise to keep some gundam in my collection.

Bro, used to big scale already...I've already long time used to the size of 1/6 by hot toys. 

MG is the minimum size i can accept for a collectible figure...

Waiting for red frame to release in metal build, I like it's PG version damn much, but not dare to build it.

I'm sure everyone is saving up money for the sept warehouse sales?

Previously I was thinking to get a MG 7 sword, but after I went there, look at the actual product (finished build), I hold back my action.
I can't accept the look of figure that looks plastic and not solid...(sorry if this statement makes you guys irritated...)

Haha, bro, don't mis-understand me, money sure is a concern, not every Hot Toys collector are rich ~ 
So far I only have 4 HT in my collection, all are iron man series.

Honestly saying, HT is a wallet burner!!!

their recent diecast series does makes a new standard of articulated figure.
So what I mean here is whether Metal Build standard would be similar to HT Diecast series~

btw, repaint it to make a plastic outlook looks like metal, sometimes does makes me feel a little bit of unreal~ because when you touch it and hold it, it feels like...oh...so light~

Wow!!! Gorgeous!!!

I think Bandai also moving to open another product line for those collector who likes gundam but dunno how to build and paint it.
So it comes out metal build~
