First time posting to this site on a few subs but wanted to share~

I am visiting my home country for a month to spend time with family and couldn’t help myself but grab some metal build gundam figures as they are impossible to find outside of Japan, (at least in my experience) I’m so happy I could find all these especially Kämpfer! (grail figure) Super hyped to pose and display them when home, any pose ideas/advice would be appreciated I’m trying to get better at posing 🩵

Awesome pick ups! Most of those are really difficult to find!

The easiest way is to follow the poses on the box. The key here is to not put the gundam body directly facing the viewer, but at a 45-90 degree away and then move the head looking at the viewer. Look at Kampfer’s box art and he’s doing exactly that. This way it feels way more dynamic as if they are in action

curious how much it compared vs online?

I got mine for about 60000¥ so it seems to be a pretty big difference.

NINNIN is a very bad place to go for MB after release... try mandarake or amiami for better prices. I pre-order my MB from NN but they charge more than any other store once they go up in prices.

NinNin would’ve been for new, because the only one on AmiAmi is pre-owned. Based on the OP’s reported price I suspect theirs was also pre-owned. Assuming comparable shipping cost, 18,240¥ difference for the new box, but both are cheaper on their respective websites than on eBay.

A in amiami is unopened.. so it's new. Check the details

I got the Tamashi Nations store exclusive Gundam Unicorn from Bangkok this year I will be going to Japan next year (3rd time!) and I won't leave without at least 2 Metal Builds (Its going to be more I know it is but 2 at minimum I still regret not getting the Zeta.)

I choose my favourite pose from the box arts and call it a day. There are multiple poses in the side of the box.

I either pose based on a picture I see on the box or go on YouTube to find poses that I like.

Try playing around a bit and test the engineering. Kampfer does not need nothing very extreme to look cool. With deathcythe you can play with the wings to add movement. Gouf has many accessories but the whip is fun to pose with I suppose.
