I would like to think, you need sufficient demand to actually get a reissue. How bandai get's their customer demand data? I have no idea biggrin.gif

Bandai only collect data from Japan and HK

My 1st straight build, finish with semi gloss coat, the only mild paint job is the V-fin sweat.gif
Regret buying Ova instead of Ver.Ka, trying to look for the decal but no result sad.gif

If anyone knew where to get the original Bandai Decal for ver.Ka please enlighten me notworthy.gif

why is ver.Ka unicorn not a good buy? Because of the lack of articulation on the leg?

I was convinced and bought the OVA but ver.Ka decals just looks so much cooler

1. flawed back calf armor design - restricting knee bending angle
2. flawed back waist armor design - restricting torso rotation
3. no option to swap fixed open v fin - transforming v fin that couldnt close properly + extremely fragile
4. decals - only clear sticker n dry transfer

by the time u finish with the decals u'll wish ur finger were chop off by a rusted table saw instead, at least it'll hurt much less.

I did build one before. Articulation should be ok. The only 'flaw' I have was I broke the beam dagger connector. So, be careful when you snap it in.

you can never go wrong with RG's articulation, always superb thumbup.gif
though RGs are known to have fragile parts, just be careful

i gotten some 3rd party decals, probably not by samuel, the quality is bad since some alignment is off and the sizes are uneven among the same decal design

is water decals really superior against the stickers type? i notice that the stickers is thicker and usually come in square instead of following the shapes, will coating hide it or it will appear to be rather obvious that they're stickers?

were yours precut?
I never had alignment or size problem, only spelling problem since it's China LOL
eg. 'caution' spelled as 'cotion'

yes, stickers are the most obvious decal, even after coating
to reduce the obviousness you need to polish the coating, but still can see the lines separating sticker and body

the most 'blend in' decal is dry transfer, looks almost like painted on
only downside is the difficulty

yes precut, gotten it from a site call gundam.my
one of the most noticeable alignment issue is the chest decal where u have letters and a red lining, the red line actually cover up the text and the length of left to right are uneven

other than that it looks not too bad, but when i apply them they don't stick on, kind of regret that i didn't get the mark setter to do the job sweat.gif
can't be bothered to get another set sad.gif

i believe there's quite a handful of different product, of cos samueldecals will be rather good, gotten their banshee HG gold decals, yet to put it on, gonna get a bottle of mark setter to make sure everything stick on nicely.

That is a "flaw" or was it your mistake that you broke it ?
