Since the Love Phantom is coming out this month, we got a bunch of info about its release such as the date and the price as well as what the boxart will look like.



As much as I love Magee, I'll pass on this kit. Not a huge fan of SEED based designs.

We also got Sinanju Stein's details as well.



This on the other hand I am very tempted to get. <3

I've already pre-ordered the Stein Narrative from HLJ.

I'm surprised you're not waiting for the P Bandai MG of it they showed.

From what I read, it's not been approved for roll out yet. It was showcased in a reference section along with the new S-Gundam. Bandai hadn't decided if they would actually produce the kits or not.

But if they do, and it's P-Bandai, then I might not pick it up. Unless I can get it from the new P-Bandai store for MSRP.

Its approved, its coming out early next year. I double checked w/ bandai yesterday at NYCC.

[thwalker13]

Well shit.

Will it be P-Bandai or regular release?

[Squee]

I think its still being evaluated by marketing, but most likely p bandai.

Isn't there already a MG Ver Ka Sinanju Stein, so the P-Bandai would just be a small color change or something not worth the $100 mark up that we have to pay in the States. The States side P-Bandai store has yet to sell anything Gunpla, and I'm not holding my breath.

[thwalker13]

Color change, the rifle has been altered to fit the bazooka from the Sinanju OVA kit, and the Sleeves trim has been added to it. Would be a nice kit to have. But I'll have to weigh my options if it is actually P-Bandai.

On fb, a bluefin employee said that the USPB site, the modeling dept of Sunrise is taking no part of it. So its basically useless unless you want figures.

I really don't understand why the would have even bothered setting up the site if that is the case.

You make it sound like Sunrise needs to be onboard if the USPB site is to sell Gunpla at all. Which would make some bit of sense since just about every mobile suit is designed by Sunrise.

And then out of the other side of their mouth they spout how they want to branch out to the western markets better. ???? Well for everything except P-Bandai that is. It's all good. I still get the P-Bandai that I "want" just not all the ones I would "like to have". Some of them are a waist of money with just a color change or something simple. Others are completely new (Looking at you Base Jabber)

Bandai Spirits is made up of different divisions, that don't even interact with each other. Each is its own separate entity. Its why we see robot figures look one way, and the models look another.
