botboxgunpla: Gunpla modellers, y u no thankful?
rrobbert184 recently reviewed the HG Adele, which was just released, and he spent a good part of the review moaning about how the model was just like the HG Gundam AGE-1 Normal, even though that’s, clearly, the idea behind the mobile suit. I write this in response:
Preach it, sister.
But in all seriousness, that seems to be the internet as a whole. Whining about businesses making money and not tailoring to niche markets 100% of the time. I just got into Gunpla and I never built during the ‘Dark Times’ but I am super fucking glad I missed out of them. I’ve seen the kits.
Bandai has come a long way, and if they make some bullshit to sell to the masses so they can keep making PGs for the more hardcore of us, that’s just how it goes. Every company has to make money and the niche consumer is not who is giving it to them in droves.
I hope you’ll…
