coloring aside though, Arche looks nice!

4th pic down on the Arche pics, is that some sort of dagger thing coming out of the shield? When did it use that in the series?

At first I have not too much interest with the Arche, but Sir Dearka's description of 'pink bunny thing' perked my interest up several levels.

You do know what "collectors" are, yes?

RX-78 or no, it's still a whole new Gundam, and going with Bandai's hurt-my-wallet strategy, they will release a HG 0 Gundam.

Really... that's exactly why some people will collect it. Because it is an RX-78-2 with a GN-Drive. >____>

Yes a collector will collect every version of a single thing.

Even if the difference between 2 figures or model is just one item part, extra optional part or weapon, people will pay unreasonable bucks for it even.

I have done it 4 times already. Astrea, Exia, And Exia Avalanche and a standard Exia. Will hit 5 when they release the Exia R2.

In my own case, I have no UC HG figures, and I like GN Drives, so the 0 Gundam will be fine for me!


And as it happens, I don't have a HG Exia yet either (I only have the 1/200 HCMPro Exia SP to rep that particular mobile suit) so for me, the R2 is the one to look out for - not least since I like there not being the cables on the shoulders, thanks to the updated armour.

Plus it matches well with the 0 Gundam, too.

I wonder if HG Exia R2 would come with a GN Sword III variant for the HG 00 Gundam?

Doubtful. The 00 Raiser Designer Colors has that.

The 00 Designer Colours is 1/100 NG though. The only 1/144 GN Sword III announced so far is on the Trans Am 00 Raiser.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't there another edition of it with the sword that is going to be released?

Exia roll-out colors?

The sword was shorter and slightly curved iirc. Gaddess's head features a different design as well.

Though it's still a awesome piece of work.

HG 1/144 00 Raiser designer colors doesn't have the GN Sword III.

That's why I was wondering if the HG Exia R2 would have a GN Sword III for the HG 00!
