Bandai Action Fleet sets – SD Gundam & New Thunderbirds movie
Just a quick note, I picked up the 2 vehicle playsets in Bandai’s SD Gundam line, they’re roughly Action Fleet size and the Neo Zeon ship is very reminiscent of an Imperial Star Destroyer (reminiscent like “repaint it light gray and it’s a new class of Star Destroyer” ). Both have a nice stand, open up and have actual interiors of sorts and even action gimmicks; each set comes with 5 horrid little SD Gundam mini-figures, I dig Gundam generally but these are the kind of chibby I can’t stand, they sorta interact with the ships but could also make a case for interacting with the garbage can .
Also, I spotted a bunch of new Bandai toys at TRU from the upcoming Thunderbirds debacle… er, movie. There was a large $20 deluxe Thunderbird 2 with 3 removable MM-sized vehicles, sounds, and retractable landing gear, a small boxed set with Die-Cast size Thunderbirds 1-5, $10 carded sets of various Thunderbirds vehicles plus FAB1 (which looked awesome even if it was pink so of course was sold out), and 2 $15 playsets each half of the island base with launch facilities for 4 roughly Micro-Machines size vehicles. Packaging on all these Thunderbirds sets was as thin as cardboard gets, but all looked at least a little tempting.
