MAYBE BECAUSS ITS NOT A TOY??? (In the sense that you're not constantly throwing it around the fucking room)
Its a model kit. Made to be posed. Not a transformer that was designed to hold up to some play and transform.

I find it really funny that the Sazabi ver.ka comes with a separate, clear cockpit with a Char inside. Except theres nowhere for it to go, leaving you with a Char Marble

I like how in Unicorn they call the ReZEL a "Zeta type transformable mobile suit" while its transformation is literally the Methuss's

Textured parts under clear plastic will always be peak
A hot take for Builders but something I think most modelers can agree on:
Molded shell units for the HG WFM kits were a better approach than the Printed Shells units the Aeriel and Lfrith Had. There's more options to paint in your own Permit Color than being limited to the print

I think you don't get why people like model kits. Its you making the thing. YOU MAKE IT HOW YOU WANT. YOU CAN PAINT IT YOURSELF TO LOOK THAT GOOD. THATS THE ENTIRE FUCKING APPEAL OF MODEL KITS IS THAT
YOU. MAKE. IT. HOW. YOU. WANT.

@AlanGar43089826
This is what a high end collectible looks like. Note the detailed paintwork and shading. Size and light gimmicks don’t a figure high end, many kids toys are oversized. Detail does. You could paint that gundam to look high end, but out of the box it just looks like a toy.

have you seen modern gunpla articulation?? Knees & elbows double jointed, Ab-crunches, swinging out hips, feet that can tilt forwards and to the side almost 90⁰. And the thing is, they look fucking good.
This thing costs $25 btw.
@DamianNguyen16
@Charuncle1
@Irex_models
So then, what the original post said was 100% true, and I don’t see why anyone disagreed. The standards of Gunpla collectors are in the dirt because they care more about building than actually having a quality product for pose and display.

Something cool about the Hydra Gundam from G-Unit is that its head has Gelgoog faces on the side of it, AND A ZEONG ON THE BACK?

At a certain age (16 - 21), one must rid himself of all childish things. Throw away the toys, children’s books, video games, &., and embrace adulthood.
Get real hobbies, read real books, do something worth remembering.
Stop playing Warhammer, video games, &c., and grow up!

2002 kit thats been built for almost 7 years now (that came on runners) that hasn't yellowed or loosened at all after a lot of posing:
@Irex_models
If you want a figure that can actually stand the test of time, then yes. Either that or smaller pieces come pre fixed.

You know how it says "next test"
The one before was the Borjarnon (Turn A's Zaku II). Of course, he guessed Zaku II, but that is a reasonable mistake.
And then he said the "HI-V" thing

BB Senshi kits are definitely superior to SDEX
Like look at the Hi-Nu, no paint, only stickers are for sensors and the crotch V. You can also deploy 2 of the fin funnels and attach them to included effect parts.
Like literally the BB Senshi version clears it and that came out years prior

It doesnt explicitly tell you you need to build it, but it does have things like "kitbashes" and "model kit" plastered all around.

Consolidating into one post:
1. It would hike the prices of the individual products
2. They most definitely do, its just what haooens with this style of injection molding
3. You have to remember these are mote intricate, there are parts that look almost identical.

@BulaloDasoup
1. Bandai is the second biggest toy company in the world, not a mom and pop shop with minimal margins. With their scale, they can easily do it at the same price and make a sizeable profit.
2. Why would it leave marks? Transformers don’t have them.
3. Group parts in different

Also, I believe everyobe should have chrome paint. It makes the interbals of visors pop more
Since we never saw the cockpit open in the show, you'd think it'd open like a beak right?
