I have a few of these I've gotten over the years. I've painted a couple to give them a 'burned out" look. They do add some flair to a Godzilla display, for sure.Got this for my Hiya GMK 'Zilla (1/144 scale)
Pain in the butt to put together, i broke like 2 connectors. good thing it has another 2 connectors on the sides so no issue.

Good idea about painting them, I used to have the Bandai buildings but sold them awhile back, i regret it so here i am re-buying them, smh.
there is more options with Godzilla buildings nowadays, i guess with the "Printing machine craze" everyone sells them now.

OK, so I have not been especially interested in this project as I already had the Ramen Racer and this, to me, looks like a low resolution version of that. That said, I learned today they intend to make the Bandito more modular than the Racer, and have some much wilder add-ons planned for the future. Stuff like hover wheels and big weird gun add ons. I don't think it'll necessarily get me on board as I just don't like the lines of the main body that much, but it's interesting for those who are into 1/12 vehicles and such.

They’re fine imo. One they’re all together they’re sort of like an action figure. I have all three of the main Units.
I think if you asked me to compare it other model kits I think the Bandai real grades are cooler…. But also more intricate and smaller.
But they’re probably about as good as the Bandai Evangelion action figures. I do like that these come with a whole lot of accessories.

It's a nice snap together model/action figure. Great range, but feels like handling a baby bird.
For about half the price of the Bandai Spirits (what I paid) it's a nice display piece and toy. I just wanted something to keep handy with Asuka and Rei on my desk.
I think they're all samey at this point as far as the standard accessories and features you get, and looking on model.
I think on a pure fan and display level, it accomplishes everything it needs to.

What would your Highlander only one pick be if you had to?
lol. I’d actually probably go with ones I literally don’t own.
I’m leaving out model kits… generally.
Oof. If you asked me to literally only pic one I’d probably go with the Bandai Dynaction Unit-01. I like it because it’s big, and well articulated…. It’s also pretty pricey now though.
That said a more exhaustive list:
- the best action figure at roughly a normal action figure size is probably Robo Dou (even though I don’t own this fig lol)
- if you want a neat model kit that is roughly action figure size that is not screen accurate then go with the Bandai Real Grade Eva
- If you want figure that is pretty screen accurate, reasonably priced and don’t mind building a model kit I think the Blokees is a good option.
Eva is one of those properties that has like so much merch that it’s quite hard to really pick a clear best

Looks like Ramen is doing more vans. Seems like the channel 6 TMNT van and (I would assume) one that's in Party Wagon colors.
