[EN] It's time of a new poll with September releases. So let's go: *Disclaimer: There isn't an August best release poll, because there was just one release in August (Operation: Coldfront) and in fact the starters included in that box will be released within a few months and then they will be included in the appropriate poll. [ES] Es hora de una nueva votación con las novedades de septiembre: *Disclaimer: No ha habido votación para la mejor novedad de Agosto ya que sólo hubo una novedad (Operation: Coldfront), además los starters que la forman seguramente se lanzarán por separado en unos meses, entonces se podrán incluir en la votación a mejor novedad correspondiente. The Hollow Men - Sculpted by Javier G. Ureña/Painted by Studio Giraldez Rasyat Diplomatic Division - Sculpted by GT Studio Creations/Painted by Studio Giraldez Cube Jäger, Mercenary Recoverers - Sculpted by Antonio Moreira/Painted by Studio Giraldez Rebots - Sculpted by Antonio Moreira/Painted by Studio Giraldez Jeanne D'Arc 2.0 (Mobility Armor) - Sculpted by GT Studio Creations/Painted by Studio Giraldez
Had to go with sarcasm on this one. Hollow Men are the best this month, with Rasyat being a very close second place.
I'm totally of two minds here: Joan is the best... and the game *just needed* another Joan! XD The Hollow Men were a close second, but the derping thingylauncher who prefers to use a gun, and grabs it like so many new medics grab their "healing guns" (called Medikits) totally kills it for me. The Rasyat is great, but too Macross for my taste. Totally in line with the new Raizot, mind you... But too Macross XD
Hollow men are clearly, the only improvement they could have had was the combi and spitfire having a running or crouching pose just to give all 5 current sculpts more dynamic poses. However the raised fist and missile launchers poses are really good and keep the link from looking too samey, and by combining the starter set body with some of the other arms you can get a little more movement in the poses.
Jeanne d'Arc without any doubt (and any sarcasm too). Jeanne is a symbol for PanO and Infinity since 2006, so every new one is good (the first two back in time not so, the HeMan/SheRa raising sword with Umbra molester ...meh). Anyway the new mobility one is as gorgeous as one could ask for, poster child of the blues! Unfortunately even if I started as a Tunguskan wanna be - I chose Nomad due to Interventor Morgana miniature in 2006 - new Hollowmen even as they intrigue me as a concept, smell too much as a CA rip-off than some stark and true nomad fellows!!! I hope they would retcon their fluff regardin combat frames as some kind of retroengineering from some CA wrecked bots.
Is it just me or does Joan 2.0's side burns flow in air going in a different direction than the pony tail and coat?
The Hollows are clearly my No. 1 Follow ups are: Jean Running (yes I like even the hair-band-thingy) Rasyat - very good resculpt and pose Jaeger - better then the lim. one, nice pose Rebots - only drawback here are the weapons on the ground - Aleph failed to mount them on the top, poor AI
I have some bad news for you on this front... The Hollow Men are broken up as such: Main body, no head or shoulders or arms attached to it. Arm attached with head and one side of shoulders. Other arm with one side of shoulders, no parts of the head. It's exceedingly frustrating with the Spitfire one as mine seemed to have been slightly bent coming out of the molds so it acted like it didn't fit. Once I bent it to match the carrying forearm it worked.
