Gunmetal is awesome for all the raw metal parts.

[GNWeapon]

Now I wonder,
Will Bandai be releasing the Seraphim Gundam as a stand-alone HG 1/144, or will it be a 2in1 HG 1/144 kit with the Seravee (Seraphim in backpack mode on Seravee's back)?

And also, I'm looking forward to getting that new Samurai Flag.

[LightningZERO]

The transformation doesn't look that complicated. Possible that the HG release of Seraphim Gundam (Seravee is already released) can transform and equipped on Seravee's back

And I demand Samurai Flag now!

Yea you got a point there, just like the 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser...
Besides, the Samurai Flag looks real sleek upon 1st view.

[Ardi220288]

haaah seraphim Gundam and samurai Flag. glad I save my money (didn't buy any MG kit) instead focus on buying 00 Gundam kit :D

[Kagekyuubi]

Seraphim gundam might even be able to combine with the GN Archer and 0 Raiser.

Why do the bad guys get the cooler suits? I say that Billy will come up with a backpack for the Graham's new unit to even the odds. Samurai Flag for the WIN!

[MakubeX2]

For the last time, the correct name for the "Samurai Flag" is "Masurao"

[Kagekyuubi]

What's wrong with Samurai Flag? The pilot is called Mister Bushido so calling his suit Samurai Flag is quite fitting.

Thing is there's a line that goes "Masurao, this is your customised machine" when the Suit is introduced.

[Scavenger]

I'm so stupid. I destroyed my 1/144 HG 00... First I destroyed the V fin (Trying to remove excess plastic from V fin with knife), now I destroyed it's head. I'm going to buy the 1/144 HG O Raiser+00 set and I'll keep the body of my old 1/144 HG 00. Old 00 body can be used to make a battle damaged body. All I need to do then is switch the heads once in a while.

Goddamn excess plastic on V fins.

[duotiga]

I'm hoping for HG Gn Flag before HG Samurai flag.....maybe is my dream.....

i can foresee how 1/100 seravee gundam will look like now....gonna collect all!!!!! XD

[Kagekyuubi]

Official name or not, I'm still calling that thing the Samurai Flag.

[Knight_SV]

it's official name is Masurao, the designation code still not known

Use a cutter to snap the excess plastic on the V-Fins off. Cutter as in what you use to snap the plastic parts off from the spree.

Thanks for the tip.


I hope Bandai will stop adding those nubs on a V fin one day. It's not like a small kid has less chance of stabbing his eye with a v fin with small nubs at the pointy sides and turn it into a bloody mess.

A generous boardie from Gundam Board In Action showed me these pictures of the Robot Damashii 00 Gundam using the MSIA Exia and Nadleeh weapons. It's beautiful....simply beautiful. I'll have to get me a spare Exia and Nadleeh just for the 00 Gundam.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

^ That wouldn't much a problem. I was just shocked to see how compatible the MSIA weapons are with the Damashii release.

But I do like that idea of Seravee's Bazooka on 00.

In fact, ALL weapons on 00 sound lovely. I will make it so.

[Balder8472]

you know that the Seravee's name is derived from Seraphim, the six winged angels

Wouldn't it be awesome if it carried a GN Bazooka in each arm? 6 half Bazookas or 3 three combined ones

I hope it comes with more than 2 beam sabers. In the new OP, they showed Seravee holding 6! I thought that was really cool. Took Ali by surprise.

Any chance for Seravee to shed its armor to reveal another Nadleeh? (even though Seraphim is technically Nadleeh 2.0)

Unlikely. The armor is integrated into the endo-skeleton. Though I am curious about those huge white panels on each side of Seravee. They look like they do something.

Maybe they store (or become) weapons for Seraphim?

[LoweGear]

Those white side panels don't seem to be able to do anything, at least not when looking at my HG Seravee. The bottom part of the panel is a very thin plate, with corresponding detail indicating that it's not just some hollowed out part.

Well, a lot of new features have been added since the release of the HG kit, (such as the hands and Seraphim) so you never know. They might as well have more features and extra stuff to really entice buyers.

Given how the binders themselves are designed though, they really didn't seem to give it that much importance. Heck, the binders are actually in a single piece, and can't be book-folded unlike what its design would suggest.

If I would suggest a crack theory regarding the side panels, maybe they'd fold in on themselves and act as Seraphim's shields, but given that there's no real evidence for that I'll hold of on speculating what those panels are, asides from being mere vents and side armor.

If I would suggest a crack theory regarding the side panels, maybe they'd fold in on themselves and act as Seraphim's shields, but given that there's no real evidence for that I'll hold of on speculating what those panels are, asides from being mere vents and side armor.My guess, they're Seravee's GN Field Emitters (based on vent-like inner detail), successing the Virtue's 4 black GN Field generators mounted on the leg pads and top cannons... which Nadleeh also could use, as handheld weapons.


White Nadleeh + Virtue's black cannons/GN field emitters vs. Black Seraphim (already with built-in cannons) + Seravee's White GN Field emitter/shield?... Hmmm... :eyebrow: ;)

White & Black
Nadleeh & Seraphim
Trial & Retribution "Repeat after me: All-Your-GN-Drives-Are-Belong-To-Us!" :D

Perhaps both Seraphim Gundam and "GN Seraph/Slave/Seravee" will each be able to hand carry a GN Field emitter as shields, when operated simultanuously.
I'd even hazzard a guess that Anew Returner will be piloting GN Seravee (countering her twin, Revive Revival in the Virtue-inspired Gadessa) to maximize its use as a stand alone next to Seraphim Gundam.

That just leaves VEDA on the checklist.


Btw, just to emphasize, anyone still not noticing the trend here? ;)

GN-0000 00 Gundam Setsuna F Seiei - callsign "War"
GNR-010 0 Raiser Saji Crossroad - callsign "Peace"
----------------------------------------------------
GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser Setsuna F Seiei (& Saji Crossroad)

GN-006 Cherubim Gundam Lockon Stratos - callsign "Other"
GNR-011C GN Cannon Feldt Grace -callsign "Brother"
----------------------------------------------------
GN-006+GNR-011C Cannon Cherubim Lockon Stratos (& Feldt Grace)

GN-007 Arios Gundam Allelujah Haptism - callsign "Virgin"
GNR-101A GN Archer Soma Piries - callsign "Mary"
-----------------------------------------------------
GN-007+GNR-101A Archer Arios Allelujah Haptism (& Soma Piries)

GN-008 Seraphim Gundam Tieria Erde - callsign "Bride"
GNR-110S GN Slave Anew Returner - callsign "Groom"
-----------------------------------------------------
GN-008+GNR-110S Seravee Gundam Tieria Erde (& Anew Returner)


For-Teh-Lulz "callsigns" notwithstanding, I made up the MS names and designation numbers for the "Gun Slave" (Seravee stand-alone) and the as-of-yet non-existing "Gun Cannon." Plus I saw fit to add Feldt and Anew to the pilot roster (What new OP?! :D).
Other than that though, the list is true to what is officially revealed.

We're just short one partner MS for Cherubim, and the pilots for that and the Seravee stand-alone.
However I've little doubt that the trend of "GundamDoubleOh's-Quartet-Of- Dynamic-Duos-With-Intertwined-Fates" will buckle, since symbolism is layed on thick as per Sunrise custom. ;)

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

What the hell is the GN Slave and GN Cannon?

[Tokkan]

What the hell is the GN Slave and GN Cannon?

Something crazy and fan-made that T.V. thought of.

[T.V.]

What the hell is the GN Slave and GN Cannon?
GN Slave, as in "Gun Slave" ("Seravu" in katakana?) = personally coined name for Seravee when not docked with Seraphim Gundam.
GN Cannon, as in "Gun Cannon" = personally coined name for as-of-yet-not-existing support unit for Cherubum.

Since Arios got a new "Tail Booster 2.0" called "Gun Archer," I reckon Cherubim will recieve a new "Orbital Cannon 2.0 (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm201/tvermazeren/DynamesKyriostail.jpg)" called "Gun Cannon," whilst "Gun Slave" rounds out the trio of support units for the Arios, Cherubim and Seraphim Gundams, respectively.

Feldt and Lyle working together to live up to Neil's motto is just like the kind of poetic justice Sunrise will throw at us. Not that I'd be bothered by that. ;)
Anew, a 'goodguy' Innovator, just like Tieria, is ideally placed to mimic her twin Revival, pitting the Virtue successor "GN Slave/Seravee" against the Virtue inspired Gadessa.

Edit:
Guess I posted it in the wrong thread as well, since it's better suited for the 00 speculation thread. ;)

The GN Archer is the only MS that I recall to look quite feminine. Plus the differing size between the 1/100 00 and the 1/144 Archer makes it work.

Woops :heh:

And I actually think that in terms of looking feminine, the Archer actually looks better in that department than the Nadleeh :heh:

[C.A.]

Yea, Archer definitely looks more feminine, Nadleeh is supposed to be a man with long hair. Plus the lols image in the ridiculous thread, Archer is defintely my favourite design in 00 lol

Ryusei wouldn't really have a sugar rush but would still find her quite a cutie.

[Nerroth]

Does anyone who has the HG Seravee know if it can be put together securely enough in a way which allows for the Seraphim backpack module to be removed easily, should a transformable HG Seraphim be released eventually?


(If you can, I wouldn't mind going for the current Seravee and waiting for a Seraphim to plug into it, but if Bandai are gonna make you get a whole new kit then I'd rather wait...)

[MeesesGlokmah]

Too plain IMO.:(..seriously it can't be compared with Nadleeh which is Rocks.... I doubt if I'll buy it....

I agree that it doesn't compare to Nadleeh, but I don't mind the design. Yes, it's simplistic, but I like things that can transform, so I don't mind as much.

Well, to answer my own question, looking at the manual of the Seravee I picked up today, it seems that you can indeed set up the Seraphim backpack in a way which doesn't require it being glued on or stuck in a non-removable way - but I'll be able to clarify this better once I start assembling it...

[vektar]

Quick question, do the 1/100 scale 00 kits have ball joint hands? I dont like them solid fist ones that come with it and was thinking of switching it out for a had like the ones found on the MG's.

I've tried that with the Seravee, and though it feels tough, it's actually quite easy to remove. So yes, they're probably setting up for a compatible transformable Seraphim should they release a HG model of it.

[LightningZERO]

I doubt Bandai will be generous enough to release a transformable Seraphim Gundam that can attach to Seravee's back. But since they actually tell us in advance about the 0 Raiser and GN Archer, I think that's pretty possible now

Very impressive, give it a beam rifle and we'll be in business.

Attach the GN Bazooka II's on its arms like the Seravee does, now that's business :p

Given that the hands themselves already act as cannons though, I don't see it needing a seperate beam rifle.

[philmein]

Now we shall wait for the HG Masurao or even better, 1/100 Masurao (if ever)...*drools*

[LoweGear]

But if they don't, we'll soon see trolls and non believers calling it Megaman Gundam.:(

Believers already call it that :p

Also, it's the first time we see a Megaman-style arm weapon on a Gundam itself more or less :heh:

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Well to be honest, I like it. Heh, it's a first.

The HCM Pro Seraphim looks sweet unlike the Damashii version. It's also cool that the HCM Pro version comes with a "friendship" hand part.

[Scavenger]

In backpack mode the head has somehow no eyes. Or maybe it was just a picture of a badly transformed backpack.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

IT probably was just the picture. Bandai has only released one picture, and it's not a great one. They could be showing off a lot more.

So this is the Seraphim Mode that you guys been talked about before. Nice. :)

[GNWeapon]

Hahahaha! A MUST get for this HG Seraphim Gundam!
I have a nudge feeling that the Musurao (did I spell it right?) for the HG 1/144 line will be announced soon and probably released in March?

i heard rumours that the next MG after GM 2.0 is Exia, but still not sure though.

you're either trying to falsely raise the hopes of many fans who crave for the MG Exia or you simply have no idea what you are talking about. MGs don't get released this quickly, this site:

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/1055/0/1

is good for checking upcoming gundams (1-2 months in advance) and they have all the prices as well listed. If this were miraculously to be true, then i must say that Bandai has lost the plot or they've got so much money that they don't need to torture the MG fans for 2 years to release the MG version of a gundam.

[MakubeX2]

I'll be expecting Sinanju's Pricing (7000 yen) for the 1/100 Seravee as it will technically be a 2-in-1 bundle.

[Knight_SV]

you don't read my post carefully don't you? me,myself is also not sure about this rumour you moron.

Nah, dun worry. It's not like you are the only person who has that kind of rumor in mind.

[MakubeX2]

Bandai need to outdo itself at the HG Exia and HG OO's frames on a larger scale before attempting a MG.

You can see how weak the 1/100 Exia and OO are when compared to their smaller counterparts.

I say, the Sinanju's frame is about halfway there.

[Knight_SV]

okay, i just don't like that he made raised my eyebrows

[Scavenger]

That's not enough. Rasiel has more GN Sefers than that :D
Hmm... I could of course learn how to recast the parts in resin... Could make a fortune out of that if I recast lots of Rasiel and Sefer kits. ;)

Or I could just buy the cheaper Chinese versions of Dengeki Hobby since the Chinese version also has the Rasiel and I think their next issue also has GN-Sefer.

Edit: New Robot Damashii Seraphim pics are up. Looks somewhat decent, but it's still worse than the 1/144 HG Seraphim and HCM Pro Seraphim.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Damashii Seraphim Gundam looks delicious.

[Nerroth]

I just got my HG Seravee asembled - and I was wondering about the rotatable hooks that go onto the two GN Bazooka II pieces.

On the 00 and Cherudim, there are places for the weapons each carry to be stored when not in use - the Cherudim sticks the rifle on its right shoulder, for example.

Now, while I can sort of have the bazooka pieces hanging loosely off of the side pieces at the Seravee's hips (rotating the hooks down, and having them go into the slits on each side piece)...


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/Nerroth/Seravee1.jpg



Is there another way to have these weapons stowed securely?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Does the manual on the HG Seravee mention anything on the red X? Seeing as it's on the cover of the kit.

[Nerroth]

Not that I can see...

[KaiDamien]

Just what is this red x everone is talking about?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Just what is this red x everone is talking about?

One of Seravee's last remaining secrets. In both openings of Season 2, Seravee is seen with a giant red X emitting from its back.

[vektar]

i was just wondering whats Rasiel and Sefer?

[Rising Dragon]

Just what is this red x everone is talking about?

In the original OP, when Arche Gundam flies past Seravee Gundam, you can see a cross of red light emanating from the red gemstone in the Seraphim Gundam's giant head just before Seravee fired all of its cannons at once.

Personally, I think it was just for show, something to make it look cool. I doubt there's much else to it.

If so, you might want to try pointing the top pair down and attach the GN Bazookas to them, resulting in a pair of GN Bazooka Cannons hanging downwards on the back.

If, not you'll just have to buy HG Seraphim as well, using its hand to carry the Bazookas whilst in backpack mode. ;)

[Nerroth]

Not quite firmly - at least, not without using the arm to hold it up, too.

I see what you are getting at, but right now, it seems to be too loose...

...however, what could work, potentially, might be when the Seraphim is released - and one could use its 'arms' in hand-mode, holding the Bazooka pieces or something.


In theory.


On the other hand, it's sort of alright leaving them hanging on the side, too.

I still suspect it to be an over drive for the 6 cannons. Just me though.

[kakakka]

i was just wondering whats Rasiel and Sefer?

Gundam Rasiel is a gundam from Gundam 00P, I think.
Sefer is a support unit for the mobile suit.

[CelestialNocturne]

Just a quick question: Is it better to draw in panel lines before or after assembly of the mobile suit?

[LoweGear]

Personally, I think it was just for show, something to make it look cool. I doubt there's much else to it.

The OP's may use dramatic license for show, but as something that clear comes out of the MS not just in the previous OP but also in this one, it's more likely that it is a yet unrevealed feature. Afterall, even after Seraphim Gundam is revealed, the Seravee manual still hints to an upcoming Veda-only ability, which has yet to happen.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Veda only ability eh? Hmm...probably a new Trail System or something.


Oh by the way, I just wanted to share this little mod I did to my MISA Exia.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l169/BrollySupersj/Exiamod.jpg

[LoweGear]

Kinda hard to see the mod though, with the pic blurry and all :heh:

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Oh, guess I should have stated.

Since I never liked how freaking small Exia's V-crest is. I just swapped it with the spare crest from the second MSIA Dynames head had.

[LoweGear]

Now that you mention it... I didn't notice the yellow V-fin, how stupid :heh:

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Now that you mention it... I didn't notice the yellow V-fin, how stupid :heh:

It's because people are used to the microscopic V-crest it already has. Can't believe I didn't change it when I got it back in May.

[C.A.]

But is it just me or that ad kinda looks fake?Yes, it looks terribly fake lol

It doesn't even look like its a photoshop, its straight out of MS Paint lol

[LoweGear]

The ad itself looks kinda sloppy (you can even see the MS Word selection tabs), but the images themselves are undoubtedly new and official.

[GNWeapon]

Look at the far left picture, that green circle and the white squares, those are from MS PowerPoint, when you select pictures or textbots/word arts. Lol

But isn't it stated (not this ad picture) that the HG Seraphim can transform/fold into the backpack form and be fitted on the HG Seravee?

[LoweGear]

[duotiga]

i'm officiallly retired MG this yr n going into sd & hg kits instead lol

It's not really a fake ad. It's meant for sellers. Bandai faxes and emails those sloppy looking pics to them.


I'm making some progression on my Rasiel. I've partially made the knee joint.

[Pathis87]

February release

i tought Arios 1:100 scale will be released then ? Or will they both be released in the same month ?

[LightningZERO]

Yeap. Both in the same month

[tanqexe]

Wait....the GN drive on the Seraphim is...red? Mispaint?

[justavisitor]

is the HG Seraphim Gundam in 1/144?? If so, this is terribly unfair..considering that Seravee's backpack is already 80% complete and we have to pay the double amount of money (for another kit) to finish the "extra 20%"

I hope HG 1/100 will have everything in one kit...and the price should not be that expensive, because the transformation of Seraphim should be really really simple...(Well, for transformation, the kit may want you to stick the gundam head anyway instead of poping out..) So I will probably wait for the 1/100 kit instead and hope for the reasonable price (like no double MS price..) but knowing Bandai, I know I am probably expecting too much XD

[LightningZERO]

1/100 Seravee will be double the normal price no doubt. After all, it's like 2 kits in one set

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

God, I hope Bandai releases a Damashii Trilobite.

If they love me they well. It would make a great figure, not to mention it'd be freaking huge. Since Bandai is using the "scale unity" approach.


Eh...It's come to my attention that on the Damashii lineup, there is a big red marker under Seravee and Seraphim saying 1/14. That's today, what does that mean?

[beamknight87]

pffff, the Trans-Am 1/144 kits are so disappointing, here I was hoping we might get at least a clear beam saber piece for the Exia or the pistols of the Dynames but nah. Screw that, I think I might get the 1/144 00 Raiser and that's it.

Oh no, could it be 1/100 Cherudim can do docking sequence with 1/100 Seravee.:heh:

http://www.bigbe.jp/img_title/18469/more/s_18469_04_more.jpg


I dunno, this pic suggests that the waist does move, if at least a bit, judging by how angled the center chestpiece is to the crotch. Notice that the side edge of the chestpiece is aligned with the notch on the red crotchpiece.

[Knight_SV]

no the waist didn't move at all, it was the upper torso who move. it was actually a good move if they making both upper torso and waist can move together....
so now, i must do another extra putty job again just like how i do for the 00

[LoweGear]

Hmmmm scrutinizing the pics again, and somehow, yes it's the upper armor chestpiece that moves. The white torso piece remains affixed to the waist.

[Knight_SV]

what is actually bandai thinking for eliminating waist joint?? cherudim didn't have a special equipment like 00, so what the hell they thinking?00 still make sense, because it eventually will get an MG release next or 2 years from now. but the rest of 00 S2 gundams?they little to no chance on getting MG treatment

[RAVNEN]

Maybe to balance the Sniper Rifle weight.Look like I can think on buying 1/144 Cherudim with 1/100 doesn't have any extra feature.:D

[Knight_SV]

Sniper Rifle balance?? there's no way that's the reason, cause the sniper rifle isn't heavy at all just like dynames. For the 00 i have added the waist joint and eliminating the upper torso movement. And when docking with 0-Raiser it become more stable than the time where upper torso still moveable. so i don't see there is a reason to eliminate waist joint.

[Sinzz]

i guess they just want the 1/100 gundams more realistic to the human body because you cant twist your lower torso no matter how hard you try.. only the upper torso really moves, the lower half is stationary minus the skin twisting towards whichever direction the upper body turns. i have no problem with it.. as even if its SLIGHTLY less posable, its still able to tilt left and right and up and down. im getting it for sure, i love cherudim.

anyone know how HCM-PRO compares with robot damashii since they both are mass releasing things from the show. i would like to know because as of now im collecting robot damashii things, but hcm-pro is very enticing at the moment but i dont want to be forking money for both of them just to get the same product.

Hmm... Transam Mode Dynames will look just gorgeous with my GN Arms :]

Cherudim looks nice as usual but I hoped for more flashy changes from the HG.
Nah... maybe I should focus more on getting all the four main Gundams from season 2 with their upgrades in HG 1/144? Oh my oh my...

modding the waist?
http://dalong.net/

dalong reviews just about every model kit you know of right when it comes out, sometimes even before it comes out. All the kits are unpainted so you get a good idea of what they really look like.

Sorry to be late lol but thanks for the info I want to really order from Hobby Link Japan but alil too expensive and I don't know if i want to play the waiting game. Im looking at GundamStoreandMore.com if any one knows any other stores based in USA that I can order from that would be a big help

wats the meaning of 'modding'?

It's short for modifying.

Just improving something you may not like on your Gunpla or MSIA.

That's what I did to my MSIA Exia. Damn V-crest might as well been microscopic. So i went and gave it a better one.

[Sir Dearka]

That Astray is amazing. Thanks.

[Critias]

modding the waist?


Sorry to be late lol but thanks for the info I want to really order from Hobby Link Japan but alil too expensive and I don't know if i want to play the waiting game. Im looking at GundamStoreandMore.com if any one knows any other stores based in USA that I can order from that would be a big help

http://www.imageanime.com/

Never had any problems with them, but slightly more expensive than gundamstore, but gets stuff sooner.

[LightningZERO]

Wow. That's Astray is really amazing!

[Scavenger]

Price of the Astray is totally unacceptable compared to PG Strike Gundam. 18900 yen! Bah!

Looks cool though.

[LoweGear]

My wallet finds it unnaceptable too, but my eyes accept it unconditionally :eyespin::eyespin::love::love::love:

[Miyamoto Shin]

nah...not worth the price...it sure is amazing, but so does All of the PGs previously released...

btw...is there any of you that collecting HG Endless Waltz??...why did all of them got Clear Kits??...what do you think of it??...I think It's terrible seriously...My GUndam WIng Zero needs to be painted...

[Subarunyon]

Sigh.. 18900 yen. I was really excited too >>;; I don't think I'll be able to justify that price. I'll wait until the hype has died down and probably purchae it while I'm near the source (in HK or JPN)

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

I noticed that the Robot Damashii GN flag as the GN Drive separated from the figure. Heh....I'm gonna buy a few of them and GN drive some UC suits.

Specifically Sazabi.

[kk2extreme]

i might modify it to blue or gold frame, something to think about :D

[Sir Dearka]

Pretty soon, my collection will be complete :D

I just ordered a 1/144 HG Zaku Gunner and 1/144 FG Buster Gundam. Yeah, look at my nick. I am a Dearka freak :heh:

Also, pre-ordered the Transam Dynames and waiting for Gadessa restock. Christmas day again, folks! :]

[RAVNEN]

OMG!!! that PG Astray is awesome,the redesign Gerbera look cooler & the leg also has green thing on it.:twitch: Oh,I'm gonna cry because Bandai does'nt release MG Astray.:(

[C.A.]

Hmmm the Astray looks great but I don't like the new Gerbera Straight design. Maybe because its named 'Straight', so they redesigned it to be a straight blade. Its no longer a katana, a katana must be curved because of cooling from the final heating process which the katana bends from the rapidly cooling layers of steel.

ah?..why did you interested in FG Buster when you already got HG Buster :confused:??...

I'm not a Dearka fans, But I'm a Big fan of Verde Buster (Previously Buster before the Verde Buster introduced):D...

[Nerroth]

As an aside, I saw an article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/17/david-cerny-entropa) about the Entropa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropa) public art piece, and the author of the article referred to it as like an Airfix kit...

...while I first thought of a Gundam model kit!


Funny how the mind works, eh.


Oh, and I like how the Ahead comes with a pair of kill-bots - although as it happens, they are the only two pieces I've even cut from the frames yet!

I must be slipping...

That's because the phrase "Gerbera Straight" is a literal mistranslation of the "Kiku-ichimonji" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kikuichi-monji) (菊一文字).

Damn Fukuda for his Engrish.

[C.A.]

What? LOL

I didn't know that. It would have also been cooler if its called Kikuichimonji.

While the ichimonji stroke is a horizontal straight slash, pointing to the quality of the blade, being able to slay in a single stroke. I didn't know Gerbera is the genus name for the sunflower, chrysanthemum family.

Damned translations.

[Sir Dearka]

ah?..why did you interested in FG Buster when you already got HG Buster :confused:??...

I'm not a Dearka fans, But I'm a Big fan of Verde Buster (Previously Buster before the Verde Buster introduced):D...
I already got the HG Buster, but I did NOT have the FG Buster. And I am a huge Dearka/Buster fan. Just add one to one and you'll get it why I bought so much stuff. Now... Just let me see where was this Petit club Dearka... <searches through ebay>


Ah, judging from the pics, PG Astray's blade is still slightly curved. Damn... But I'd rather buy a PG Strike with PG Skygrasper beforehand. It means so much more to me as a fan of the first SEED ;)

[Dan the Man]

Quick question... Has anyone built the MG Turn A? I've been thinking about getting it for a while, but I already have the basic 1/100, and I wouldn't mind knowing if it's worth the purchase?

[C.A.]

I was so satisfied with the model that I posted a review here last time:

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1288903&postcount=5210

I think I sounded crazy back then, probably too happy with the figure.

[LightningZERO]

Seraphim looks really good with the bazooka

[T.V.]

Seraphim looks really good with the bazooka
As to quote a badass movie character:
"Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?!"

That's a very cool "yo'-ass-is-grass"-pose Seraphim is pulling off there.
I like Seraphim's slender legs very much, and they make his want factor all the more higher.

[MakubeX2]

The HCM Pro Seraphim isn't that good overall when you taken in the consieration that you need to put the head on and replace the shoulder cannon with arms to transform from Backpack mode to MS mode.

Let see if the HG fare better.

Is the robot damashii Seravee worth considering?

[MakubeX2]

Is the robot damashii Seravee worth considering?

The same deal, head and arms needed to be placed on for Seraphim MS mode.

[vektar]

so whats the main difference between HCM pro and Damashii?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

HCM-Pro is basically already built model kits. Robot Damashii is an improvement over MSIA. The Damashii figures are built to be played with.

[MakubeX2]

HCM-Pro is basically already built model kits. Robot Damashii is an improvement over MSIA. The Damashii figures are built to be played with.

Also, HCM-Pro is built in 1/200 scale and Robot Damashii is around the scale of 1/144. But series cost around the same price, but HCM Pro have greater articulations.

wow that's look really badass

[Knight_SV]

i'm not really like HCM-Pro though. Bandai seems more focus on releasing this and robot damashii now. I'm actually hate the color detail of both lines....

[Sir Dearka]

I like the detail, but there is just no enjoyment. The satisfaction that comes along with assembling and displaying the Gunpla is just too great to be taken away from such people like me. I like the Robot Damashii line for its quality, but only when Code Geass is considered. Gundam was always about assembling plastic kits to me.

[Knight_SV]

HCM-Pro and MSiA/Robot Damashii is more intended for those who lazy on build gunpla... it is for people who is not a big fan on assembling plamo...

[Sir Dearka]

Not really. In some cases, there are no other alternatives. I bought the Code Geass Offshoot (Gawain's predecessor) ones just because there were no plastic kits for them like Burai Zero Custom or Gawain.

As for MSiA, the mobility and quality leaves much room for wishes. I never bought one and I'd never buy one). They are basically just your regular toys, so a kid can play battles with other kids.

HCM Pro is a different story. But I don't like the size of the figures.

[Dan the Man]

You hit the nail on the head there. I have a few MSiA figures from back before I got into the models, and they're just action figures. swappable hands, mediocre posability, and they always came with soft rubber/vinyl/plastic/whatever weapons and parts that are always bent in a warped shape that NEVER, EVER want to be bent back to normal. Last time I checked, Zeta's Hyper Mega Launcher didn't veer to the left 20 degrees...

So yeah, unless you're buying them for a kid, not worth your time.

[MakubeX2]

HCM Pro is a different story. But I don't like the size of the figures.

The good thing about them is you do not need much space to put them up for display. Great solution to those who live in small apartment.

[LightningZERO]

But I can't justify myself to spend so much on a figure this small though...and I can't find it in my local shop too :D

[Miyamoto Shin]

Well, I won't comment on MSiA, but....as for Gundam Fix Figuration, I don't think that way...It's the only source for me to have a rare 1/144 models like Hyaku SHiki Kai, Crossbone Gundam, and Stuffs...

I luckily bought none of MSiA, but the sole look at a couple of pics on ebay gave me the idea about them. Thanks for confirmation.

Well, a couple of HCM Pros are indeed interesting. Like the combination of Destroy-Impulse and Freedom with its beam saber-pierce-through-Destroy effect. Also, theHeavyarms Gundam from Wing just scerams "buy me!" with its minigun effects. Still, to me the line is just overpriced. Just look at the HCM Pro Dynames. I love the suit, I have the GN Arms Type-D and 1/100 kit, and I intend to buy Trans-Am HG. Still, I don't find anything in the CHM Pro version that makes it worth getting.

I have a GFF Gundam Stamen with Weapon system myself and I really concur to your point of view. Now THIS line is worth the money. Proper scale, decent coloring and decal marking.

Well, there must be people investing in this line of toys, otherwise Bandai will discontinued them like they have with the FGs. And I can understand why if you take into the cramp living space like those of Japan.

Sure, I can also see why some of the people might buy it. And well, I have a big place, too ;)

[Nightwing(T_T)]

Hmm no news on this delicious Masurao?

[Knight_SV]

not yet, even arche who has appeared since eps 5 still not getting any kit treatment

[LightningZERO]

Pretty cool

But what's that, um, words under the name?

[C.A.]

Attack use prototype variable form Mobile Suit.

[LightningZERO]

I mean those 'autographs'

[sandrum]

I mean those 'autographs'


It's the greek letter "Zeta"

[LoweGear]

The other letters besides that are "VMSAWRS" which is the acronym for Zeta's waverider system (Which stands for Variable Mobile Suit and Wave Rider System).

[Evolve]

Err..
Then, why S Gundam also have this acronym?
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/DivariuZ/s-vwsawrs.jpg
taken from GFF 14 display stand

[C.A.]

Because it can also go Waverider.

[Evolve]

Well, I thought that S Gundam can't go Waverider, but it's like ZZ's core block system..
Sorry if I wrong.

[C.A.]

Well, I thought that S Gundam can't go Waverider, but it's like ZZ's core block system..
Sorry if I wrong.Well, actually it really is closer to the ZZ core block system lol, but its developed from the Zeta Plus suits with true Wave Rider capabilities.

[tanqexe]

IIRC the S is like the ZZ - G-fighter, G-core, and G-bomber. Ex-S converts to G-cruiser.

[Nerroth]

Sorry to ask about yet another yet-to-be-released suit, but has there been any word on whether the GNX-704T/SP Ahead Smultron (http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GNX-704T/SP_Ahead_Smultron) is set for a release...

...or has anyone seen a custom modification of a pre-existing Ahead to match the design?

[LightningZERO]

Nope, still no news...

And still no Arche too, I'm sad :(

[Knight_SV]

maybe just like Enact demo color who released very late in HG line. i think Arche will be similiar

[MeesesGlokmah]

I'm just curious, but is it possible to mod a 1/144 HG Virtue so that Nadleeh can fit under the armor? I don't remember seeing any pics of anyone doing it, and I can't find anything about that online.

The reason it hasn't been done is because the HG Virtue and Nadleeh don't really share that many parts. It's possible, but considering the size of the kits involved it'll take a LOT of work to make it stable, to the point where it's almost not worth it. :heh:

Yeah, I guess you're right. I've just been rearranging my kits lately, and was daydreaming if it was possible because I really my HG Virtue & Nadleeh.

Drat.

And still no Arche too, I'm sad :(

And double drat.
