The AMA-X2 Neue Ziel CORE upgrade is of course a P-Bandai special, with a price tag of ¥3700. The AMA-X2S Neue Ziel II will be a regular EX figure with a recommend price of ¥3500. Both figures are scheduled for delivery in July. Judging from price and promotion pictures the AMA-2X will not be getting the bonus components from the 0083 The Last Decisive Battle Option Set which includes beam effect and psycommu parts together with a few accessories for the Dendrobium. However, I guess it is not completely out of the picture that the Option Set could be reinvented now that both the Dendrobium and the Neue Ziel are available as CORE designs. Whether the Neue Ziel II will also receive a bonus parts set down the road is currently unknown.
how's the pandemic going for you?
ReplyDeleteI guess you will get as many different answers to this question as the number of people you ask. Over here testing for new cases has pretty much stopped. People self-isolate, higher education and big corporations have begun closing down and sending poeple home on reduced pay. At least the government steps in to help compensating businesses and people.
DeleteIs the Neue Ziel II "canon"? Never heard of it prior to this.
ReplyDeleteI guess the only remaining monstrosity is a CORE alpha azieru.
As far as I understand it the MA originates in the SD Gundam G Generation game, I guess it is kind of a "what-if" type of design. Personally I would place it in the same grey area as Casval's Gundam and the Delta Gundam.
DeleteIf they decide to expand on the 0083 franchise a bit more and release a CORE/EX astronomically-priced Val Varo....well, I wouldn't be surprised. Or perhaps the obscure but equally gigantic Z'od-iacok from Gundam Sentinel? Economy's bad, Bandai needs to milk its diehard fans.
DeleteThere's still a pretty long line of Stardust Memory mobile suits to work on, not unlikely that they will get their turn soon. A Converge Val-Walo would likely end up like the Shamblo or Rafflesia; competent but tiny and losing its Converge-feel in the process. How about a big box with a really chunky Bigro and Grublo team instead? That would be something to look forward to. :)
DeleteAgreed there's still room for growth from 0079. Bigro and Grublo would make an interesting pair to accompany the existing Zakrello. I'm personally waiting for a Juaggu. Can be a Zeon Remnants version from UC for all I care. Pairing it up with an Agguguy and Agg would round up the aquatic suits nicely.
