Another new Mecha themed Gacha game which is just released on mid of this month and this one gathered quite a bit of fanfare for its debut. Artery Gear is a gacha game made by Devs team that split off from Flashwing which made Final Gear and this game had be around in China for more than a year before it made its appearance on Global server.
Bandai had been very generous for Yuusha series with their minipla lineup and by this time, they have reached made more than half of Yuusha entries. For the next Yuusha Minipla, Bandai decided to make one for Mightgaine from the 4th Yuusha series Brave Express. Super Minipla Mightgaine will be sold for 6300 Yen with October release schedule.
I wonder this decision of Bandai to release SMP Mightgaine is in order to steal a start from The Gattai Mightgaine which is in prototype phase. Usually Minipla tried to accomodate mecha sculpt with gimmick as faithful as possible but it seems Gaine is rather hard to pull of considering he looks chunky in this version. In terms of accessory, SMP Mightgaine doesn't come with many weapons apart from Dorinken which probably reserved for future Mightgaine Minipla like Mightgunner and Mightkaiser. With SMP Mightgaine being released, only J Decker and Goldran being left for Bandai to make a minipla out of them and i think J-Decker is likely to be released first considering it make appearance on recent SRW game.
The Sakura Taisen event collab on Final Gear had been going for 3 Weeks now and with one more week left before the crossover event ends, I think it is the time for me to make some coverage for the Collab Units. Sakura Taisen is easily the best collab event in Final Gear and this event turns out to be rather generous compared to GiTS and Evangelion collab for me. In this Article, i will be sharing my personal experience using the Koubus in this one of the few Mecha Gacha game.
With the recent plan of Persona 3 remaster being leaked out, i think we will be seeing more merchandise from this series which is more than welcome for the series fans like me. So after Makoto Yuki getting a long needed Nendoroid treatment, now it is the turn for the Robot Waifu Aigis getting the Pop Up Parade. Scheduled for October 2022, Pop Up Parade Aigis will be sold for 4800 Yen, typical of the lineup price.
For the Pop Up Parade Aigis is posed in Dynamic combat pose with her finger Gatling Gun portraying the balance of Power and Aesthetics as anti shadow weapon. Not as over the top compared to her Palladion Premium figure, but this one is decent enough for Pop Up Parade lineup considering Fate series suffered worse end compared to this. I think at this rate we are highly likely to see the rest of SEES team making it with this lineup at least the waifus one. Personally i would look forward to Mitsuru's being the best waifu from the Persona 3 cast apart from Elizabeth.
Gun X Sword is one of the decent Mecha series in Early 2000s and would have been a memorable series if not for its weak second cour. The last time we had something related from the series are some Robot Tamashii for two of the mechas and now Moderoid returns with the protagonist mecha Dann of Thursday! Scheduled for December 2022 release, Moderoid Dann of Thursday will be released for 6500 Yen.
Dann of Thursday from Gun X Sword had really some good concept built around it. It is basically one of the Seven elite units tasked to oversee the world which is used by its pilot to huntdown its brethren who went corrupt. Dann of Thursday is good showcase of an Elite Mecha unit which had several arsenals to fulfill its task including self regenerating capability for the Pilot and Mecha apart from being powerful to boot. Compared to the Robot Damashii version, Moderoid Dann of Thursday come with Transformation gimmick which allow it to turn into Swordform, something the former didn't had to bring out affordability. In any case i will look forward GSC whether they are able to release some more Moderoid from the series apart from Volkein.
In Macross Zero, VF-0S is a protoype Valkyrie Fighter Unit for Squad Leader pilot prior to UN Spacy formation. in the OVA this awesome VF design is used by Roy Focker who served as supporting character help Shin Kudo facing Sv-51. We would easily expect VF-0A or VF-0D to be released by Tamashi nation next possibly with Ghost unit add on. I had the Hasegawa VF-0S Armored before and i wouldnt mind to double dip for the Hi-Metal considering Zero was my second favorite series after Macross Plus.
