@Akaru88 I love scene bases so much. Especially that style, where it looks like they're being built or maintained. I actually 3D printed some roughly 1:144 scale technicians for mine, although enough (relatively rare) 1:144 scale pilot figures would probably look a lot better.

@MyDarkestTimeline01 There's a Bandai Hobby link now, so your preferred store may have it available for preorder. I know a couple US stores do. Looks like it'll be 70 USD, a bit more than even the Vidar.

@gundam I took another picture to demonstrate the secondary manipulators and thought it looked nice enough to post. Grass is not to scale :blobcatupsidedown:

Wow you aren't wrong. That thing is kind of creepy. I believe the RB-79 Ball here is inspired by deep sea exploration crafts, and looking at the TMNT stills they may share that inspiration.

@MelodiousFunk I agree. Honestly despite having never watched GTO this is still what I see when I think "RX-78-2"

@MyDarkestTimeline01 Thank you! I really enjoyed the build *cough besides the hands cough*.

@MyDarkestTimeline01 I've noticed almost all the specialized online stores I do use tend to use Shop as their back end even on their websites.

@MyDarkestTimeline01 I've never used Gundam Companion. I'll keep them in mind next time I go to buy a kit online. I have a sizable backlog keeping me busy at the moment, though.

@MyDarkestTimeline01 It isn't releasing until November. They revealed it at the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2025, so no link yet (that I can find).

@MyDarkestTimeline01 MG Barbatos is one of my wishlist kits (although now that they've announced MG Barbatos Lupus I will have to make a decision; I don't have enough space for two 18 cm tall Barbatos). It's good to hear it was a fun build!

If you like IBO, they did recently release an MG Vidar, so that's an option. I have yet to look into any reviews for it, though.

@Endmaker I guess since the backpack can store them they figured they would let the Mirasoul store them, too. It looks really good.

Not sure if Lemmy shows all 4 pictures; there's one where she's holding one of the beam sabers while it is attached to the Mirasoul
