Gundam Models Discussion Thread

Sooo many RD releases. I'm flooded!

Even though I'm not a fan of figures, in fact, I only have two: 1 SHCM Pro and 1 HCM Pro, I'm actually interested in some.

RD Double X + G-Falcon? HELL YEAH! But I've been wanting an HG release (yes, an MG could be better) of it more. So I'm not gonna buy it.

RD Extreme Gundam Type Leos, amm, I like it. But, well, I think it's available in model form, which I prefer.

RD Testament Gundam, a sure buy for me. I'll definitely buy this because seeing this in HG form is low.

RD Aries isn't red, but somehow, it attracts me. It's my most favorite grunt unit in Gundam Wing. But most likely, I'm not gonna buy this as well.

RD GunCannon DT is the second in my list. I might just buy that.

RD GN-X IV Trans-am, hell yes. Pre-ordered

[suiton629]

Well, I'm just excited about the Metal Build Exia..

I like how it has parts for Exia, Exia Repair 2, and Exia Repair 3...
I am hoping that we get a MG Exia R2 with parts for Exia Repair 3. If that happens, then I'll be getting 2 of those. =P

* EDIT *

@maknaedik
I think some MG's from Gundam X would be sweet. But let's have Bandai finish up the AGE, Seed, Seed Destiny, Wing EW, and 00 MG's first.. =P

Alternatively, Real Grades from Gundam X would be cool.

[suiton629]

I was thinking.. What are your thoughts on:

MG Strike (Aile)
MG Strike (Launcher)
MG Strike (Sword)
MG Freedom
MG Strike Freedom

Anyone got news on the Movie ending's version of 00 QAN[T]? The one covered in flowers but has some angelic/wing effects? I've been holding off on the MG 00 QAN[T] hoping they would release that one.

Did you mean the ELS Qan[T]?

There’s a Robot Damashii (RD) of it if you want one:



To be honest, I doubt Bandai will make a MG of it considering ELS is not a prominent Gundam and also has some color gradation on its body which is kinda difficult to be applied on runners of a model kit. I think the RD version is your best shot (for now and the foreseeable future).

Hinting Karaba ver to come...?

It can be a P-Bandai Online Hobby exclusive release.
The gradation effect can be overcome with Bandai using the glittery kinda wings like the MG Destiny's wings of light. It wouldn't be exactly like it, but it could happen.

Also, the fact that Bandai is releasing a Metal Build of Exia seems to me that they still have interest in 00. So I am guessing that we might see a MG Exia Repair 2 kit (with improved inner frame) with parts for the Repair 3 version like the Metal Build...and promote those LED units again.

[RX93-2]

You want a new inner frame for MG Exia now? There really is no pleasing you is there.
That kit is as recent as they get and even in your ~perfect 00 MG top tier suiton deluxe pristine~ list of good kits, and now it needs a newer version? Seriously...

Katoki designing a MG just for you whilst simultaneously sucking you off will need something more for you wouldn't it?

[FalsePrime]

White Unicorn RG will be amazing. I really hope we get it sooner then later.

Given how many Strike's they've pumped out I have hopes that we will get it fairly quickly. Though the lack of G3 and the like could say the oppisite.

Still since we got the RG Zeta annoucement the White Unicorn is what has had me the most hyped.

1/100 metal build blast impulse is out there too, i don't see a NG 1/100 or a MG of that one.

Last I checked the online exclusives are recolors of existing molds, ELS Qan[T] would require a full new mold which would rather warrant a normal HG release

And considering it have one of (if not the shortest) gundam screen times ever, chances I would say are near zero


On a side note I finished my HG G-Bouncer, beautiful kit ^^, anyways deciding what to do next, I have these choices:

1. Put uncompleted 1/100 Tallgeese out of its misery and finish it
2. Build MG GP-01FB that I started cutting one or two parts out of
3. Build an entirely unopened HGUC Kshatriya
4. Build an entirely unopened 1/100 NG Vent Savior
5. Work on my LM HG Evangelion Angel 13 Bardiel

The color-scheme is a bit different from the MG:


The one in the magazine scan has grey chest, purple cockpit, darker yellow and the overall darker purple compared to the MG’s white chest, grey cockpit, lighter yellow and pink-ish purple.

I’d say the one in the scan looks a lot better. If Bandai release it as a RG, I’d def get it .

[maknaedik]

I'd still want an MG of white unicorn Zeta over the RG. I almost had my hands on it until my money evaporated.

Why improve an inner frame that hasn't much problems? If so, then they should've updated all those who have worse problems.

The MG is cool (mine just came in actually) but honestly it's so sticker heavy that it really hurts it.

With all the color variants on RG's already the White Unicorn has a chance to have alot more of the pink actually be apart of the unit instead of how little of it is on the MG while the rest is just White and Grey.

As for Nike, I mean Wing EW and Wing Zero EW are one things when you talk about improved IF's, but an Exia upgrade? That is a whole new level of crazy for you.

[kakakka]

So, Amuro is really the pilot of that thing (Amuro Ver)

Wait a sec is this the RG theyre talking about in the scan or the head display base?

Cuz if its the display base the image might just be a reference for painting the stand

[FalsePrime]

Just the stand.

It's just easy to talk about the RG because they have produced a White Unicorn based on multiple Zeta's and the RG line isn't afraid of recolors/variants and it's very easy to see them releasing a WU.

Wow. Someone did a pretty cool custom color scheme, inspired by the Age-2 Normal Special Forces..

Yeah, you could do that too, with a can of spray paint.

Anyway - I don't suppose the new HG METEOR exclusive is a new mold, right? I'm assuming it just comes with new parts to fit the RGs, but I'm not sure.

Yes, just some new decals/stickers and perhaps extra parts so that it'll fit in RG Justice and Freedom. I don't own one so I'm not sure about the latter.
