Kunio Okawara's latest mechanical design for the Frame Arms series is Jubei. However, I have doubts that Jubei will have many buyers when it is released in December. I am not fond of the price tag of 6,800 YEN. It seems to be 28-29% pricier than Kenshin, despite the fact that the package includes only a few playable accessories. The swappable expression faces part of the third design may seem unusual, but it's an intriguing approach. It gives off a Super Robot Wars vibe, reminiscent of DyGenGuar. If I had to choose which pre-order to prioritize, my top pick would be the Hexa Gear Bulkarmλ Jackal.
I think that the Bulkarmλ Jackal is going to be a popular choice among buyers, thanks to the strong support it has from the HG community. The kit's final colour is highly detailed and offers a lot of versatility in terms of playability. When Kotobukiya unveiled the next Bulkarm prototype at an exhibition, it received positive feedback for its design. However, the Frame Arms series (not the Girl series) has been on the decline and hasn't shown much improvement in its frame. It's hard to predict where the series is headed in the future.
Yeah that price point for Jubei is quite hefty. Especially given you could get the Magatsuki Houten (mech or girl) around that price and have a hall of a lot more.
ReplyDeleteGonna order a couple for my shop anywau just to see if anyone besides me will want one. I just hope this guy comes with more than what promos are showing
