On the other hand, a new image showing the size comparison between Ryuho Gundam from the new BB Senshi Sangokuden Gaiden and Sohi Gundam from the current BB Senshi Sangokuden seris:


Why can't Bandai stick to the current BB Senshi Sangokuden model design is beyond my understanding. Ryuho Gundam seems to have plated parts for his V-Fin, but that's just a small benefit (for folks who like it, I'm fine with the just glossy plastic parts) when the "disadvantageous" factors like the size difference, and that the whole leg component is being omitted, plus the decrease in articulation because of that are totally standing out.

600 Yen for this while a much bigger and better Ryubi is 500 Yen?

I would like to go on record to say that I dislike this new design.

Hopefully Bandai will return to design of the current BB Senshi Sangokuden series soon.
