I think I must have done an involuntary double take when I checked Bandai's latest shokugan update today. Storming out of the screen is a brand new Converge EX figure. It is a ginormous mobile armor set to blast all prior size expectations into smoking rubble.
The Dendrobium price point is no laughing matter either; recommended price is a whopping ¥3200. That's up ¥800 from the previously most expensive Converge EX item, the recently reviewed Zeta Plus. Even the Operation Revive and Jaburo boxsets fall shy of this price.
I wish Bandai would take the Converge series back to its mini figure roots rather than trying to one up itself with larger and larger EX figures. At this point I won't be surprised if the Neo Zeong is coming next... pfft.
Surprised that the converge dendrobium is expensive?jump forward 7 years and we have the mobile suit ensemble dendrobium costing almost 4 times the price! My how times have changed
ReplyDeleteYeah, tell me about it. I just spent an arm and a leg on the Neue Ziel...
