>>8707622Favorite non-RD mecha would be the Metal Build Astraea. Kinda cheating since it was a 2019 release and I ordered mine in December 2019, but it showed up in January so I'm counting it, haha. Simply love how it looks and it's based on the solid, poseable Exia frame.
The grunt Metal Composite Zaku II was great too, but it was disappointing that they didn't include that heavy AT rifle. Also disappointing was the fact that I didn't manage to land a single Macross DX Chogokin preorder. That was definitely my biggest non-RD disappointment last year. Fingers crossed we see some kinda of web exclusive VF-1S that will give folks a better chance of landing one.
