>>11276886>What was your favorite RD release of the year?Boring answer is the Mass Production type Bozune from Aura Battler Dunbine. Was always hoping Bandai would get to this version of the Bozune when I saw the the other MP Aura Battlers, and got my wish; with a bonus of a hilarious pack-in display stand. Feel like I need to grab a MP Botune soon though now..
One issue though, my MP Bozune was straight-up missing the accessory to plug in the sword to the hand. Had third-party ball joint parts to make a replacement, so was fine and the replacement might be better; but man that'd been a major disappointment without those parts...
Really though, this was the year of finally tracking down past figures for me. Some OG RDs like the FMP! Gernsbacks, Geara Zulu(with a cheap Kshatriya found for a friend), Phantasm Bellvine, and the Muisy Ver. Zwarth!
>Favorite non-RD release and/or pick-up of the year?Something new this year should be my Metal Build Kampfer, but to be honest it's getting overshadowed by Christmas finds of the Half-Size Metal Gears REX & RAY I got this week hahaha! Latter I'm especially happy about, as it for now 'replaces' the Full-Size RAY I got that had both legs break-up at the waist joints in storage... Eventually figure out a fix with 3D printing, but again I got a figure to represent my favourite Metal Gear. Sorry for a boring pic-related hahaha!
>What are you looking forward to for 2025?Not a lot to be honest, though it's just timing for me I think. MS for the ANIME line I want, I don't think will happen until 2026 realistically. Made an order for the Funnel Type MP Nu Gundam to hopefully be my first and only Metal Robot Spirits figure.
With the ANIME Blue Destiny RDs, hoping some ANIME Zeonic Front figs can get announced this year. Really would like another Zaku I like Garrets, and a figure for the Mudrock Gundam finally would be nice.
