Armor Girls Project: Infinite Stratos (& Mobile Suit Girls)

For discussion of all the other girl+mecha lines that have cropped up since Shinki began: Frame Arms: Girls, Megami Device, Armor Girls Project, Desktop Army, etc. This includes kinda-sortas like Daibadi's Polynian and things like Strike Witches and Fumikane's original Mecha Musume.

Well the figure is still very nice, but like OshareKeiji said, it feels a bit rushed. I'm happy with her despite her flaws.

One more thing to the plus side. While the armor might be hard to stay in play, and limits poseability a bit, it's got some GREAT little touches. So many moveable panels and verniers.

So it is something you would recommend for someone to use in a stop motion video? I am sure there are ways to fix the flaws but it be SWEET to get my hand son and make a stop motion vid with her as the main character.
Gentlemen do prefer blonde's.

So they're actually releasing the GP03S-girl:

(Also, Barkhorn is next up in the SW line).

Looks like she's been kinda scaled-down a bit from the old prototype, though:

Also, they've confirmed a uniform version of Cecilia as a web exclusive (although the page doesn't seem to be up just yet).

Considering how bulky the Dendrobium Orchis is (despite the obvious reduction in detail), They'd better make the attachments for Stamen more solid than how they did it for Wing Gundam.

Upon closer attention, it actually labels her as "GP03S Stamen". I have this sneaking feeling that the Orchis parts are going to be sold separately as an accessory pack... (and just watch Bandai make it a goddamn web exclusive...)

Edit: or maybe not. Can't figure out enough of the text to et any idea what it's actually saying.

I take it you haven't seen Stardust Memory yet.

The GP series each have flower-based names starting from their prototype model "Blossom"

GP01 (Fb) - Zephyrantes
GP02 (A) - Physalis
GP03 (MS) - Dendrobium Stamen
GP03 (MA) -Dendrobium Orchis

And yes, looking at the picture, they'll probably put the Orchis on separate sale or Web exclusive status.

Even so, it won't be a problem for me if I decide to get it, since my local shop knows how to hunt those things down.
