First and foremost I love bandai but this P-Bandai crap has to stop.
I got my MG Banshee Norn. It's only saving grace? The BackPack (Armed Armor XC) & The limited edition clear yellow psycho frame shield (Armed Armor DE).
Why?
Because the fucking mobile suit itself has a lot of molding defects. It's like bandai started cost-cutting during production, skipped quality control and then sold the damned thing for a super high price.
- The runners/trees have excess plastic
- Molding defects on the yellow parts that are weak areas and cause spontaneous breaking even with barely any force applied. BARELY ANY FORCE AT ALL.
- Molding defects on the Banshee's Transforming V-Fin shape.
- Some of the parts uses the MG Unicorn "VER. KA" mould rather than the MG Unicorn/Banshee "Anime/Movie/OVA Version" mould which corrects/improves the Unicorn Series mobile suits' articulations.
- Some parts are asymmetrical/don't align correctly when assembled
- Some joint parts are loose/have no grip upon assembly.
My very own Banshee Ver. Ka (The P-Bandai Exclusive Banshee with the Green Psycho Frame & Normal Unicorn Shield & Rifle Equipment) uses the exact same fucking mould for the parts and has the exact same problems.
TL;DR -- FUCKING RIP-OFF.
If I'm buying a "Premium"-Bandai Item at this price, I at least expect to get an item with actual "PREMIUM" quality. Fuck's sake BanDai, get your shit together...
WOW!
ReplyDeleteYeah, just rub it in to us American fans
