currently in a heated debate because I angered warhammer 40k fans because I said their beloved imperium of man would get absolutely bodied by mobile suits from gundam.
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 think something a lot of people miss about the spaceship drifting scene is that she actually does order the ship to drift (you can hear her say 「ドリフト」)
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
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.

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.

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.
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!

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.

Okay but important question is what shoulder joints it uses, because a TR-6 Gogg, especially with the aqua hambrabi ii equipment, would go so hard

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.

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
