How about we try to maintain regular threads on the recurring topics?
The obvious ones are "Models of the Month" and "Toys of the Month" as
we can count on some new releases every month. The natural time to
start the thread is 1st of each month as it seems to be the date
Bandai-hobby release the new models and toys in one single page, but
of course it could start earlier.
https://bandai-hobby.net/news/index.html
I only humbly suggest that we only discuss confirmed releases in this
thread. Rumors or future products with no release date can be split
off into new threads. I hope the MotM threads will contain mostly
fact-based discussion (e.g. pictures from Bandai, Gunota, 2ch etc; or
better yet 1st-hand experience/photos, looking at you Richie...)
To kick things off... MotM for Jan '07 are:
MG Cross Bone Gundam X-1 Full Cross
HGUC GM Quel
HG BuCUE
UCHG Hovertruck with 08MST figures
and related non-Gundam:
Dororo Robo (Keroro)
EX Cosmo Zero (Yamato)
Xabungle (re-release of full range of models)
Comments on them:
MG Cross Bone Gundam X-1 Full Cross
Impressive looking, but was there a back story prior to the model? A
quick check at MAHQ doesn't show an entry.
HGUC GM Quel
Nice looking... Bandai Hobby's write-up actually emphasizes that this
mold "reproduces proportion on the popular AOZ line" Effectively
making AOZ more canonical than 0083. Will there be some deadhards who
will re-mod this kit to be more consistent with the earlier HGUC
Mk-II's?
HG BuCUE
Roff!
EX Cosmo Zero
Is Bandai sending a shot across Hasegawa's bow? This could be FUN!
