RD Barbatos is one of the things my money is going towards, saw the initial images and just, need.

Just got the next two kits today. Have to say it's a nice change from the Graze. Started with the Hyakuri: got the upper body done and it's nice but man that thruster unit is BIG... so glade they included one of those cheap stands in nice clear plastic. One real cool thing about the Hyakuri is that color separation is really well done. More to come STAY TUNED!!!

Same here. I didn’t expect him to come around so early, but I don't mind, I’ll definitely get one in April.

Also getting the Mikazuki character stand in December now, should work just fine with the Robot Damashii, it's all Bandai anyways and the RD's should be the same size as the model kits.

Yeah, the character stand should work fine with the RD. Although I think the character stand is just a base, so you'll need an extra armature for it.

The product description says it "will come with stand arm on which to mount your kits" and on this pic an armature is shown with the base:

So I guess that'll work with the RD.

That's cool, I didn't see that.

So I did some digging and I found out that the 1st episode of Thunderbolt will be covering the first 4-5 chapters of the manga. Thanks to mechatalk finding this one one of the japanese websites.

How long are episodes suppose to be then?

They're 18 minutes still. But I've been reading some Thunderbolt online myself and the chapters are kinda short, some of them are just short scenes, others are entire battles or parts of them. People deduced from the trailers that based on what was in them how far in they went.

Episode 8 of Iron Blooded Orphans was fantastic like usual. I'm a little weirded/ creeped out by the all female crew ship being all the wives of that one dude. So there's probably gonna be no shipping. Hell, in the show itself, the sexual tension/angst has already started.I am a fan of that one girl though with the light blue hair and the orange suit, she hasn't piloted an MS yet but she's gorgeous.

It was also cool to see Orga mature a little bit learning what true leadership is and showing to be a little vunerable. It was also cute to see Atra and Kudelia get more in touch with their feminine sides interacting with those babies. We've come a long way from the days of 0079 MSG where Tomino was stupid enough to put shitty kids old enough to go around and cause trouble but young enough to not contribute to combat/the story.
