No, but they give you an alternate arm piece in case you want to configure it to how he looked in the first episode.

Where'd you get the squared-off shoulders on yours from, then?

They came with the kit. :lol

Now I'm confused. Your building the HG IBO 1/144 scale Gundam Barbatos, right?

Yup, mine's the 1/144 which comes with the shoulder pads and optional arm.

...

I figured it out now. The way the arm was posed combined with the fact that the red stickers were missing made me think that part of the backpack was the shoulder. Now it makes sense. :lol

I might end up painting it next year when the weather improves.

That's why I left all the stickers off on mine.

Next!

This was another fun build. Not quiet as interesting as the last one but the kit still does a few neat things. One thing that does bug me is this though:

Bandai why do you make me chose? there really should have been two eye pieces so they could be swapped.

And with this Dec basic kits are done... As i wrote before I'll work on the Long range booster over Christmas:

HOLY FUCK. GUYS, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING! WE'RE GETTING A GUNDAM EXTREME VS GAME LOCALIZED IN THE WEST!

Seriously though, this is super exciting.

For those who don't know, the Extreme VS series is a long running series of really good Gundam 2v2 fighting games with really in depth mechanics. The PS3 games haven't gotten localized, but this Vita exclusive single player focused spin-off is.There's been speculation on a PS4 port of the last arcade game coming out soon , so if we can get this to sell, we can get a theoretical Maxi Boost PS4 localized too!

PLEASE BUY THIS GAME! I am putting my money where my mouth is and have money for a preorder already saved up. I know this isn't the mainline VS games and it's only for Vita, which is very niche, but please do it so we can get more Gundam games besides Dynasty Warriors Gundam. If you have a Vita, get it. If you have a Playstation TV, I think it's compatible. If you don't have a Vita, maybe get it for someone next year who has a Vita but has no idea about this game.
