    1. A prototype was made but it fell apart due to the weight of the binders. I'm sure bandai will take another crack at it once they improve their engineering.

    2. Or once they realize "Hey, we use screws in all of our PG products, and this kit would be the size of a PG.. why not use screws in this too?"

    3. Open binders in this robot tamashii figure means Bandai is one step closer to MG Kshatriya. If Bandai can make MG EX-S Gundam nearly 10 years ago, they can make MG Kshatriya now, It's just a matter of time.

    4. Maybe after MG Sazabi ver ka success in terms of balancing body + articulation, MG kshatriya will be possible, with some terms on the binders

  2. Is nobody else outraged at the price of this?? A Robot Damashii figure that costs more than twice as much as an average Master Grade kit? More than twice as much as even higher-end Robot Damashii figures? I understand that the Kshatriya is a hefty mobile suit, but you can't tell me that the binders are justification for a 50-60% increase in price over what the figure would likely cost otherwise. I am sick to death of Bandai's fucking gouging of it's customers. They under-produce product to create a panic for pre-orders then over-charge to the point of this becoming a rich-man-only hobby. And we're too busy tripping over each other to snag a pre-order (y'know, fighting for the "privilege" of paying too much for this crap) to notice how badly we're be taken advantage of. Please boycott this fucking thing, folks. If you want to keep enjoying this hobby despite being of "only middle-class means", then we're going to have to start pushing back.

    2. Want to boycott this? Sure, go ahead. Good luck with that. They wouldn't care less if some guy on the other side of the world will not buy a figure because he doedn't think it justifies the price.

      Don't forget that we are not their target consumers. They don't worry about our reactions, and they don't really care. So yeah, go ahead and boycott this thing if you want to. That only justifies their belief that foreigners whine too much for something they can easily choose not to buy.

  3. Anonymous#1-"First world problem"? Wow, does anyone who uses that bullshit phrase ever notice that you are always making it from a computer? Like you're some penniless street urchin you hypocrite. Try actually thinking about your cunty little comment before regurgitating some hacky twitter-shit that you never thought of yourself.

    Anonymous#2-That sentiment is sincerely the single dumbest, pussy-ass thing I've EVER heard. Are you on Bandai's fucking payroll or something, to be blurting out some ignorantly dismissive shit like that? Or are you just so dedicated to having no balls that you want to make yourself a shining example of why big companies (for starters) can just walk all over their customers?! And yes, WE are there customers too, dumbass. They seek foreign markets and foreign customers, limp-wrist. And what? You think no Japanese customers ever get fed up with being gouged and complains? Tries to -shudder- DO something about it. OF COURSE you can choose not to buy. But expressing grievances and trying to get companies to amend unfair business practices is also part of the free-market system, genius. They've been getting money for a long time from "some guy on the other side of the world", but their price-gouging and intentional under-produced stock are pushing me out of a hobby that I've been a loyal customer to for decades. There should be power in that to say "hey, chill the fuck out a bit, Bandai". But pussies like you just roll over a go "you don't have to but it" and the ever brilliant "first world problems". You want to roll over and take a big Bandai dick in your ass? That's your prerogative, just like it's mine to stand up and say something if I think the pricing of something is bullshit. And don't think for a second that everyone is as weak as you.

    1. The price isn't as bad if you look at how much b-club's opening binder conversion kits for the hguc cost

      Delete
    2. Your poor choice of words isn't going to help validate your statement.

      Delete
  4. Wow, for someone who claims to have been a loyal customer for decades, you sure talk as if you have barely lived two. You need to get a life. Everyone has bigger problems than overpriced kits.

    Oh and before you start calling people cowards or pussies, you might as well post with your real name. Nice work being anonymous, tough guy.
