More like vermilion. The only thing it needs now is a female pilot then I'm set.

[maknaedik]

I have HG Genoace and I can say that it's red-orange? It's orange with more red on it. So I still consider it red XD

Lagowe looks so cool . It's a shame we didn't the MG of it. I really want a quadrupled MS MG .

Spoiler for It's cute:

Sit!


Stand!


Eliminate!

it really is cute, especially the first image^^
if you want a great quadrupedal machine with a high amount of details then i recommend the HMM zoids line from kotobukiya, especially the liger zero with its many versions!
there are three out already (or two out and one close to release, i dont quite remember) and a fourth one was announced recently.
i got the liger zero schneider myself and it is an amazing model! its a ton of fun to build and has am amazing amount of detail^^ its actually closer to a PG than a MG compared to bandai models.



since its orange its kinda close to the LaGOWE anyway XD

at 5440 yen at HLJ plus 4320 yen for shipping (no SAL shipping available because of the weight and size of the box!) this is quite the expensive kit though :P
but the awesome thing about it is that you can buy the regular white liger zero and all the seperate armor sets (like the schneider armor on mine, the jäger armor and soon the panzer armor) seperately if you want to^^

this guy does need a tiny bit of glue though. the teeth need to be glued in and as far as i remember some pieces were pretty lose without some glue. but thats normal for kotobukiya models, you usually need to put in a little more work into them.

My most favorite season of Zoids. I love those, but I don't think I'll be getting them unless I become rich XD

Good suggestion, App (nice pic too ^_^). Yeah, I’m aware of Kotobukiya’s Zoids since long time ago (I’ve also seen those Zoids anime). The details on those kits are awesome. Still, Zoids are pretty expensive (gotta agree with Maknaedik there). Thus, I haven’t bought any. Yeah I already have Gundam, EVA and Patlabor but no Zoids yet due to the prices (of the cool ones). If I’m gonna buy one, I think I’m gonna go for Lightning Saix. It doesn’t have overkill weapons, its mostly black, its design is sleek and menacing, and the price is not that high compared to some Ligers, Saber Tigers and Furies.

its true, they are hella expensive. i only got this kit because i had some extra money left :P

Man, I’m impressed. This Metal Build can do Freedom’s signature upside-down-burst move ! I’d like to pose Freedom like that too if I can (without gluing, customing, etc). Can Bandai base-stand do that?

i doubt it. you would have to customize the action base to bull that off.
but the MG freedom comes with one of those immovable pole kinda stands that just plug into its butt! the connection is extremely strong, you could try to secure the base of its stand to the roof of your shelf^^ i just held my freedom upside down and it worked :P

[casval cehack]

The RG works just fine inverted too, so it depends on the stand. The stand must be the one that is impressive.

[HasuMasu]

Such a stand exists!?

I must have it.

[Appel]

bandai announced some exclusive color variations for their online store:
the MG nemo in both unicorn and desert colors, the RG freedom in PS deactive mode, and the HG extreme gundam type leos from gundam extreme vs. full boost.

http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2012/0...ive-hg_26.html

ya know, as long as they just announce color variations of existing kits then im perfectly fine with that^^ i would have loved to buy the MG banshee ver.ka instead of the OVA version though :T

[casval cehack]

Blitz: a little cheaper than Duel.

Spoiler for MG Blitz:

Only two shades of white for Mk. II AEUG (started with RG Freedom). Looks like the rifle can now be stored in the side skirt, unlike the HG.

Spoiler for Dual RG Mk. II:

Movable frame in the advanced MS joint?

Spoiler for Inner Frame:

[HasuMasu]

I don't mind that it has only two shades of white, the Freedom looks plenty good with just that.

Besides, I think it looks better in purple.

purple? isnt that more like a navy or dark blue? :O
i agree though, i like that version. i might just buy it to put it next to my AEUG MK-II 2.0

Don't mind me with colors, I can barely distinguish brown, orange, and red.

[Sworra]

The Titans Mk. II has to many dark colours, looks like a un painted HG kit, not enough colour variants, the dark blue chest or sorta black with dark blue armor isnt going.. AEUG at least has light and dark contrast. Just remember for people that don't paint, you will see more of the nub marks on dark parts then white.

I thought you were referring to rendered Titans Mk. II (next to the frame with the panoramic cockpit), it does look purple.

Nice, RG Skygrasper actually comes with a hollow chest and shoulder piece for displaying a pack incase you're not using all of them for a RG Super Strike.

[Exia_00]

Que "Mirage Colloid" MG Blitz Gundam (clear) haha, hopefully bandai doesnt do something as sad as that

[MakubeX2]

I wonder how many people will recognised the mech that this mod of the Zeydra trying to imitate at first look. It certainly isn't the Sinanju.
