Man, 00Q with Full Saber looks great!

What will be its story? Incomplete due to 00Q being rushed into production to counter the ELS, ala Hi-Nu?

Wait does it go like this?

Spoiler for Number:

1. GN Sword IV Saber mode + GN Gunblade Twin Edge
2. GN Gunblade: Gun and Blade mode
3. Full Saber mode
4. GN Launcher mode
5. GN Sword IV in rifle mode (High Output)
6. GN Sword IV in rifle mode (Wide Cutter)

Now if we put everything together.....

00 Qan[T] Full Saber:
GN Sword V (Buster Rifle; Buster Sword)
GN Sword Bits x6
Bits A - Can be used as long blades
Bits B - Can be used as draggers and connect with Bit A
Bits C - Can be handheld and has a beam saber function.
GN Sword IV (Saber mode/Full Saber Mode; Rifle Mode-High Output/Wide Cutter)
GN Gunblade x3 (two combine into GN Gunblade Twin Edge)

Wow

Okay. That does it. I'm so getting this. Even though I'm not painting it.

Is it possible everything ends up in the MG box?

Given that this is a 00V design whose profile hasn't even been released yet, highly unlikely. And none of the promotional material for the MG 00 Qan[T] show the GN Sword IV as part of its arsenal.

The most likely way the GN Sword IV can get an MG incarnation is with a later release, if they go ahead and do 00V on the MG line.

..........yeah. The designs click with me too. I love more variants of them, even though they're making me waste $$$$$.

I hate it when they release small additions with pre-existing stuff though. Sometimes those are tough decisions. GN Sword III=yes, Large Condenser=no for example.

However, the marketing material for the variation has called the thing the 00Q Full Saber so I'm not positive on that.

As for modes, a whopping eight among all the component parts.

GN Gunblade Blade Mode: One Gunblade acting as a sword.
GN Gunblade Gun Mode: One Gunblade acting as a handgun. I have no clue where the shot is fired from looking at the way it has to be held.
GN Gunblade Twin Edge: Two Gunblades in Blade Mode combined.
GN Sword IV Saber Mode: Basic sword mode.
GN Sword IV Rifle Mode (High Output & Rapid Fire*): Held horizontally, blade folded back a la the Swords I and III.
GN Sword IV Rifle Mode (Wide Cutter): Held horizontally, blade rotated like the Sword II Rifle Mode.
GN Sword IV Full Saber (Full Saber Mode): Saber Mode with the three Gunblades attached, held vertically.
GN Sword IV Full Saber (GN Launcher Mode): The previous mode held horizontally.

Like I said, swiss army weapon.

Its from Mecha talk 2.0, its a description of what each configuration looks like and name.

Nice

[Araxiel]

Remind me which publication this GN Sword IV thing is coming with again?

Edit:
No worries.

Out-of-box straight build review of the HGUC Sinanju by Hacchaka-san Blog

[bio9205]

Woah.

Are those gold linings stickers, by the way?

EDIT: Read the review. They are. Bummer. Expected, but still...

[LoweGear]

Yes, seeing as it's an OOB build, therefore no painting. The HGUC Sinanju doesn't come with the optional waterslides for the details it seems.

I honestly think that gold stickers themselves look good, if you just remove the black filler. Although I'd personally paint the details myself.

[MakubeX2]

Already posted a review by a Taiwanese who got an early release of the kit 2 pages back, if anyone want a look at the HG Sinanju truly OOB.

Parts are too small for waterslide anyway.

I wouldn't advice that unless you have the time and patience.



See how tiny they are when stacked aganist the bottle and brush ?

Not a problem for us who are used to the tiny details of 1/144 scale kits really. In fact, given how large the Sinanju is those details look to be easy to paint compared to some of the finer details on other HG's like some of the smaller clear parts on the HG 00 kits - Trying to totally paint parts like the 00 Qan[T]'s and the Reborns head is a pain.

It shouldn't be too bad, since when I get this I will paint while the pieces are still on the sprue. Alternating between gold enamel and black acrylic, and the fact that while ethanol is strong enough to dissolve both paints, isopropyl alcohol is much weaker against enamel should allow me to clean this up without too much trouble.

Please do not quote the entire picture, guys.

Yeah. I just realized HG 00Q's eyes are transparent. These kits are getting more and more detailed. I would paint the eyes, but seeing how I just 'paint' my kits with markers and only basic panel-lining, I doubt I'd be able to get the shiny effect the sticker gives.
