Ah, I see. I am a MG lover myself though when I cannot get my favorites in MG I have to content myself with a regular 1/100.

Just love the Titans Mk II. Mine is paired up with the golden Mg Hyaku Shiki

As for storing, I have to sadly admit that most of my kits stayed in my room at my parents. Now that I moved on to my new house I have only room for two of my favorites. The dock-based HG 1/100 Buster Gundam (of course!) and the gorgeous Gold Frame Amatu.

I reckon it's Bandai's just trying to show the inner frame.

Quantum Mode is more... this :

Spoiler for Quantum Mode:

That was just the inner frame, but it gives us an idea of some of the details.

Apparantly, this is the 'movie version' HGUC Unicorn. Seems like a pearl gloss variant.

Spoiler:

Just like the clear 00Q, this is only available in limited numbers at local screenings of UC episode 2.

I also like to post my models of the same scale and due to the limitation of much choice between A.D. 1/100 scales types and the my priority and more love towards the 1/144 scale make it a backseat for me.

I'll get MG 00Q and MG 00 for sure. I have not gotten MG Exia or GN-X for some reason, I guess I just don't feel like it right now.

I wouldn't get MG GN-X. The GN-XIV is much more awesome, and it's very likely Bandai will milk the MG GN-X frame to make a MG version.

Yeah, I prefer building and posing smaller kits as well.

Sorry for the triple post, but got couple questions here.

1) I'm thinking of starting on RD, and my first target is Arios. How is RD Arios? Quality? I've seen some reviews, but most are pretty vague.
2) Any Singaporeans here know where I can get RD figures? Bandai kits are everywhere, but RD seems to be eluding me. I spot 1 or 2 occasionally, but they're like limited to 1 or 2 varieties per store, it's so odd. Unfortunately I'm still schooling or I'd buy it off the Internet.

More images of HGUC Gouf Custom:

Spoiler for Size:

[Kuroi Hadou]

That looks better than I thought it would.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Ah the Gouf, the greatest thing about The 08th MS Team.

[duotiga]

Yeah, before moving I had to choose only two kits I'd take along with me. I chose Buster for obvious reasons and my favorite Gundam designwise - an Astray Gold Frame Amatu because it is so beautiful, far surpassing many MGs in terms of appearance, IMO :] That's be so crazy if they produced a MG Buster...

---

Anybody saw the prototype of the possible GN-XIV? It looks fine to me, but I kinda hope for the GN-XII. The lance... I loved it right away as a 1/144 HG despite the stickers and all that cheap tricks Bandai used on those...

[Sworra]

Yeah the Gouf Custom is one of my favorite Zeon suits. I have the MG version of it, still the in box cause i havent gotten around to building it.. The HG version of it seems pretty good detail for a 1/144 scale.. Kudos for Bandai

Yeah that would be awesome for a MG Buster, I am still waiting on that but i have patients.. for when it comes out. With your two Kits that you brought with you to your new place, im surprised you did take your Sword Impulse considering how much you love that one.

[Sir Dearka]

Ha, you know me, Sworra Still, the Buster was a must, as I am a no. 1 Dearka fan ;D And Gold Frame Astray's design not only appeals more to me, but also it is a gift from one of my dearest friends.

The Gouf custom is withount doubt the coolest of all goufs ever. I considered buying a MG kit, but after seeing the HGUC I think I shall wait and see its review on dalong before finally deciding.

Either one or the other you can't go wrong to choose.. I for one am not a 1/144 fan for models im a 1/100 scale (MG) But seeing this Gouf in a HG it has my attention.. Same with the Shinanju I was impressed with that 1/144 HG as well.

Maybe the GN Sword IV doesn't suck after all.

Sigh... The more i see it, the more i cry a little inside when I realize that I won't be able to get it.

I hate how the magazine costs only 13$ online (which is fairly reasonable) but to ship it to canada costs like another 20 - 30$ which is really unreasonable for just a magazine o.O

I KNEW IT!

They totally 1.5'ed it

So from what I can see:

1. GN Sword IV has a buster sword mode
2. Each individual dagger can turn into a boomerang
3. Two daggers can be put together to make double-edge dagger?
4. An Astray crossbow form
5. Rifle Mode????
6. Rifle Mode with the blade facing to the front???
7. A shield part wit the daggers attach

Thats alot of configuration

Translation of the mode names:

The lower left one is GN Launcher mode, next to it is GN Sword IV in rifle mode- it has 2 type of rifle mode it seems, can't make much of it because of the kanji, sorry.

So the ones we thought of as daggers are actually gunblades. Which means the GN Sword IV has three individual gunblades that can be use like GN pistols. Need dual-wielding 00Qan[T]....

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Ok, now I like it.
