That's a pretty bold generalization. Just because it has a sectional whip weapon, it's a ripoff of the Epyon? The Epyon didn't even pioneer that weapon. It's just an interesting design so they used it.
Must admit the AGE series isn't really creative. Nor is it geared toward old school fans. It like most gundams, it's made to create a reason to sell bandai kits. It's been like that for the most part. Just think of the last few gundam series, including wing. There are like 20 gundams! And with 00 and Age there are even more. (00 having 12 just for the main 4 characters, and age having 3 so far with adaptations.) I like all the gunpla without a doubt, but it is kinda sad to see so much stuff just shoveled out there. |

Of course I know that Epyon isn’t the first to use “whip” as a weapon, but it surely the first to use “feather-like whip” which is copied by this Ghirarga. It’s even attached to the butt just like Epyon in MA mode (and it’s red). But, nevermind. I guess I’m just upset that Ghirarga’s design looks worse than the previous Zeydra and copied a signature weapon of another popular MS to boot. This series is partly meant as a tribute anyway, right? So..... yeah, nevermind.

Opinions are perfectly valid. I'm not bashing you. Nor or you wrong for feeling the way you do.
I can only see that as a similar design aspect. It is true though. They had the chance to make that suit much more aggressive looking, and fell short. |

Saw this while rummaging for marked-down gunplas in our local hobby shop...
. They do look weird standalone, but the fit with RG Freedom is ok (a little heavy for posing). The clear plastic feels rough and cheap though, but I got it for around $2.

And yeah, I ask about it some pages ago, but when I figured out how it really looks and feels (I went to a hobby-store), I didn’t like it. Personally, I think the effects looks silly. I’d better leave the beam effects to my imagination .

And thanx. Still, configuring each form of the MG ARF is not as enjoyable as it looks, you know . But it looks great and the Tactical Arms II is pretty solid, so yeah, it's really worth it. Btw Appel, why don't you get yourself MG ARF & ABF? The ARF Kai is great, and I plan to buy MG ABF after I'm done with Shenlong & Deathscythe (yeah, still two more to go to complete the Wing series ).

I do have RF but I haven't build it yet. I assume that they're identical in one way or the other which I'm hoping for the same attachment parts. Thanks again! |

Really, you're an archer? Wow, how does shooting with a bow feels? Is it heavy or easy? Have you compete in some kind of tournaments? @Ikaoru Just to make it clear: MG ABF 2nd Revise is different from 1/100 ABF 2nd L. The design of MG ARF Kai is similar to MG ABF 2nd Revise while the 1/100 ABF 2nd L is different from MG ARF Kai's design. You can check dalong.net for more comparison. I hope this help ^_^.
