>High prices do not discourage people from buying their products, and performance and sales continue to rise.
>In fact they also offer inexpensive but good quality products for children

Why do we have to hate this company again?

>Prototypes take years if not outright cancelled
>The starter $30 SHF while a good idea for people to get into the line, also means some figures get shafted in terms of paint work and details
>Lines can get cancelled if one or two of the figures fail to catch onto buyers. A good idea in theory, but also means some characters you want that got prototypes never end up happening at all

Also you should use the blue Bandai logo. Aside from what I listed above, I've no problem with them. At least they only delay figures rarely, unlike Good Smile who seem to do it en masse every monday.

I don't even collect riders and this would be an instant buy for me. Odd they would cancel this when I always thought Rider and DBZ were their two Figuart focuses.

It's a final form and people tend to skip those in favor of getting their base forms. So Bandai doesn't release them that often.

Bandai is the most solid company all around, but they're starting to rest on their laurels a bit. Pose+, Sentinel, and Three zero are all doing better mecha figures.

I bought one Bandai model in the very early 90's, loved it, lost it and have no idea how to find one again. I know literally nothing about Gundam or even Anime, so I could never find it again. Is there some kind of database with pictures for old models somewhere?

It was a typical mecha robot from the neck down, but uts head was featureless and helmeted, the entire model was taxi cab yellow and when you pushed the back of his head down his mouth would open like a shark with red teeth. Its been close to 30 years and I still have no idea. Any hope from anyone?

Based on the description it sounds like the SD Gundam World Hyaku Shiki Kai. It's really hard to find photos of this line, try searching for: バンダイ元祖SDガンダム百式改

One of the few gunpla lines that hasn't been reprinted by Bandai.

Wow, thank you. My description was pretty bad, but you got it right. It's been about 30 years, since I walked into a local comic shop and bought this guy. I'm into Creepy/Eerie magazines and vintage toys, this kinda stuff is light years outside of my wheelhouse, but I really loved the dude. Now I can try and find another. Again, thank you very much.

The Ganso SD Gundam line was produced by Bandai's Toy Department, not Bandai Hobby so the molds aren't stored for reissuing like regular gunpla from the Yokohama factory.

>have the FGO license, instead of making cheap Figurise-line to compete with FGO figma, they release a new model kit line Petitris, which died within a year.
>put all the fan-favorite or most sought after kits such as Dragonar, Vifam and etc. as PBandai
>release both MG Banshee Norn (yellow and green version) as PBandai
>release Sinanju Stein Narrative ver. with many so much runners and parts from old Sinanju Stein and only only add 500 yen, but cannot be arsed to add 2 runners on MG FAZZ ver Ka so you can decide to either build FAZZ or ZZ Gundam FA.
>prefers reprint tons of shitty old gunpla from the 80s
>hasnt reprinted any of the VV VF-1 model kits and slow to reprint Macross F kits
>make the Macross Delta kits so shitty to incentivize you to buy DX Chogokin
>make a new MG line for other mecha properties but kill it after 3 kits
>the R3 (in essence a MG) Layzner released in 2009 which is MG 2.0 era, but is just leftover from MG 1.5 era.
>super focused on Gundam when they released MGs of Patlabor and Dunbine before, which needed 2.0 versions
>just basically made it harder for everyone to get PBandai stuff but not even improving distribution to compensate
>other than Dragonball and maybe Kamen Rider, which is still a hit or miss, most SHF are still embarrasing
there are many more, but I wouldnt say hate against Bandai. its more or less RAGE AT BANDAI's STUPIDITY

Awesome! There's his shark mouth! Thanks for posting that. It sounds like I'll have to find an old kit then. It's a far better start though, than trying to tell people "I'm looking for a fat yellow robot guy with a red shark mouth". I will say this, I remember the model was made surprisingly well, it felt far more like a toy plastic than a brittle model plastic and everything fit together flawleslly and easily. I have no idea if those standards maintained across Bandai or were unique to that line at that time though. Thank you guys, truly.

It's a Xenomorph mouth they added just because the head looks like a xeno. Yes it uses mostly ABS plastic. You'd want to search on Japanese aftermarkets like YAJ Auctions, Mandarake, Rakuten etc. Copy paste the Japanese search term anon posted >>10148608

Glad I could help. The description was pretty vague, but the pull back red shark teeth is a very distinctive feature that is not found in any other gundam. I remember seeing it in toy stores in the late 90's and it stuck in my mind until now.
