So is the Shiranui pack just available as a P-Bandai option set, or do they also have a version with it included with the RG Akatsuki?

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

P-Bandai option set only, at least for the time being

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

Similarly, the Metal Robot Spirits Akatsuki Gundam ‘SEED Freedom ver.’ isn’t at all compatible with the Metal Robot Spirits Zeus Silhouette. 😭

I have seen one person get it to work on the Metal Robot but I wouldn't try it myself with how expensive those figures are.

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

Agreed, neat to see but from a distance!

hunterwilds.bsky.social•99 days ago

I was going to ask what the parts for the akatsuki and what it is, but I guess you thought of that already thanks

akmaneth.bsky.social•99 days ago

i think they wanted to make it pretty clear that the zeus silhouette is for the destiny first

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

I think that’s fair. Since it debuts in the movie with the Akatsuki, I felt like compatibility should be a given, but not to be

akmaneth.bsky.social•99 days ago

yeah it is a weird decision to not make the akatsuki compatible with the zeus silhouette given it debuted with it, but bandai is bandai

iamshini.bsky.social•99 days ago

Haachaka managed to do it at least, but he also noted that its not a snug fit

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yeah.. does look good - I’d be terrified of scuffing the gold plating etc 😅

iamshini.bsky.social•99 days ago

He did mention like wrapping vinyl around the legs since it will definitely make contact. But yeah this is definitely do it at your own risk kind of thing

tekkamanmeijin.bsky.social•99 days ago

That's why we call'em SCAMDAI

Completely off topic but did they announce anything new for the Miku Gundam collab since the metaverse stuff

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

They announced a collab illustration project as the next piece, but nothing other than that (yet)

Yeah, if you don’t care for the Destiny, plus Shiranui - it’s a high price for entry..

bleakmars000109.bsky.social•99 days ago

Aside from the obvious peebs problem, knowing that the Akatsuki gundam is apparently using the strike gundam frame makes me pretty nervous to see how well this thing even holds up.

bleakmars000109.bsky.social•99 days ago

To be more specific, since the RG frame, which is apparently infamous for stability issues, is used with a massive unit that it clearly wasn’t built for, i can’t help but think this is a recipe for disaster.

gundampixel.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yeah, coming off of the back of the excellent recent RG releases (especially the RX-78-2 Ver.2.0), it does feel like a luxuriously finished, outdated, kit.

bleakmars000109.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hey, it could be worse, they could’ve made a peebs RG proud defender for the old strike freedom RG, and i think i know how that would go down.

iamshini.bsky.social•99 days ago

Sometimes I lose faith in Bandai because of shenanigans like this. Its not like you can use the Shiranui parts whole the Zeus Silhouette is combined with the MS
