Gundam Models Discussion Thread

^ Don't count on it. MSV and/or other side story kits usually do not get a HG 1/100 treatment, unless they are really popular. Such as in the case of Red & Blue Frames.

But perhaps the Strike Noir will have a chance...

I have to agree, breakable V-fins would be a problem.. and they do look to big to fold up. But at the same time, I don't want the V-fins to sort of stick out like they do in the HG 1/144.

There are many transformable model kits and there is no problem with foldable V fins (Ok, they're Master Grade), but if it's such a problem you still can take it off...

Such as in the case of Red & Blue Frames.

You forgot Gold Frame Amatsu, which is also a recurrent MS in Astray but it's a bit more sophisticated than other Gundam.

Oh yeah, that one. I forgot. Well, I can't be blamed because its one of those few Gundams that doesn't look like a Gundam. In fact, the Amatsu reminded me of an older anime I saw back in the 80s when I was a kid.

Well it's not so important but it's a good addition to the 1/100 collection.
What I meant is that the show's Gundam look all the same so they're easier to produce into model kits.
Many Astray Gundam don't follow the same design as basic Strike for example (but it's ok to say that Amatsu don't look like a gundam except for the = mouth, but it's quite an original design in my opinion. Which 80's anime is it?).

And I'd love to see a 1/100 or even 1/144 Regenerate

(Hell, its not even difficult to guess the main 'cheese' from that set. They all follow the same bloody color patterns!)

I was thinking the same thing. A part of me wishes I had bought the MG Strike Rouge instead so....yeah. I even bought the HG Strike Rouge for the IWSP pack. MAN!.....

Yep, they were in the SD kind. I have plenty of that too myself

But the small ones inspired a new series of models (like Gundam MSV), and an extended line was created for the production of non-SD/porportional kits. Thus, there they are.

Don't you hate it when you don't see these cool suits in the main production, only to be introduced on a side-story prequel?

Well, there are ordinary 105 Daggers in Destiny, at least seven of them were at Heaven's Base and at least two were using Sword packs and two were using Launcher packs.

[DarkWarrior]

I really don't like the proportions of the HG Aile pack. It looks deformed.. the MG and PG version looks much better. I like the Slaughter Dagger, but I'll avoid it because of this.

Whoa, thanks for the links. Saviour looks pretty good.. looks like BeeCraft is involved again. From what I can tell, it has MG proportions.

And what the hell? Gold Frame got another upgrade. And the model kit only came out recently.. it looks like it has a beam shield now.

[LightningZERO]

Wow. Crossbone Gundam is so amazing. Does it came with a stand? Too bad no cloaks for him

Seems that BEE-CRAFT will be having a say in the 1/100 kits now, since they did the MG Strike and such too. Not to mention, they do a better job at improving the proportions, compared to following the original Okawara designs. Compare the 1/100 Justice and the 1/100 I-Justice, and there will be a lot of differences proportions-wise.

It is an extended line of model kits not related to the main story (the non-SD porportional ones). Like MSV. It doesn't have a serie by itself. Its still within the Ma-Ei-Den universe, but not directly related.

Oh, speaking of models, I recently purchased

[SNT1]

that crossbone is one mean piece of sexsay. (Ver.Ka is teh pwn, just gonna have to wait for its eventual recolors (X-3 XD))

I just hope it doesnt have construction horrors like that of the MG F91...

and what of that gold frame? is that gonne a be a completely new 1/100 kit?

[Subarunyon]

That MSV section in which the new Gold Frame is in are usually designs for MSV, but not necessarily for model kits. Some made it as kits (like the IWSP), but most of them dont. If they dont release Red frame with Mars Jacket / Orb Flight Pack, I doubt we'll bee seeing that new Gold frame upgrade as regular 1/100 release. It looks nifty tho =x

I have nothing against Beecraft, but I don't like how they really change the proportions in some cases. For example, on the I-Justice, the oversized the beam boomerang on the shield and the beam cannons on the backpack. Just.. waaaay too big.
