Doubt it will be release...

Although the Robot Tamashi version will have the Gadessa Hilling Ver, if there's one Garazzo Hilling Ver, it will be in Robot Tamashii

Hopefully it joins the April releases but I doubt it will happen.
I love the fangs and the sword!

[Tormenk]

I too have a nagging feeling it won't. Perhaps the Gazzaro color variant will come along after a long while like Patrick's Enact did. A simple recoloring to sell one kit as another follows nicely with Bandai's..erm regular tactics.

As much as I want the Anew variant of the Gadessa, I'm thinking the selling points will be few. The Fangs were molded into the skirt armor of Throne Zwei so I don't see why there would be an exception for this. Plus it only has one regular sword as an accessory? :/

Still hoping hard for HG Arche release and Masurao in Bushido colors though.

[Sir Dearka]

I can see them making the fang gimmick in HG, though. The fangs are large enough to be treated as separate parts, I thikn as the sword is too small in comparison to Zwei's to make up for the lack of other gimmicks.

1. A special line of Gundam figures that have a lot of extra parts to either turn them into completely different Mobile Suits, or just a lot of extra armor.

2. About 6 inches, much bigger than MSIA.

[Scavenger]

Fix Figuration is 1/144.

Holy ****. Rainbow Ten is quick. Paid this morning, shipped this morning.

HG1/144 Sergei's Tieren Taozi review

[LightningZERO]

RIP Papa Bear

[RAVNEN]

Wow,that a nice looking Tieren Taozi,look like no need for panel lining.This is the first time I feel sad when looking at model kit. Damn Andrei....

[Ubie]

I'm new to the models so I don't really know what to buy. And I have a few questions.

1. What would give you the best value for your money? A 1/100 NG or a 1/144 HG?
2. Also i noticed that they sometimes won't give you the beam sabers in a HG kit (you get the grips but not the beams :s) is this true?
3. What would you suggest for a beginner 1/100 or 1/144 because i noticed that they make much more stuff for 1/144 models but in the 1/144 you have to buy virtue and nadleeh sepparatly while the 1/100 comes in one set.
4. Also do you guys have some pointers for a beginner

Sorry for my bad english ^^
Thx in advance.

[Okamidum]

Regarding the Ng HG. If you have the money go for NG but HG1/144 are great, especially the 00 line up. I have gotten beams in my HG kits. I would start off with 1/144. They take less time and although you start off small, you wont be dissappointed.
Pointers:
1. Gundam markers are the shit. After triming the peices, it sometimes leaves discoloration(Like trimming a green peice might expose some white where it was cut). Gundam markers cover this up. Getting a super fine tip marker helps with Panel lines.
2. Modeling knife comes in handy for trimming
3.have fun
I'm assuming you're not painting?
If not heres tips.
1.Primer before painting. 1 or 2 coats works for me. Brings out the overall color.
2.Sometimes if I get lazy ill paint right on the grid, its something you might do if you want to do a quickie.
3.Top coat after painting, smudges are a bitch.
4.Make sure to sand down rough parts before Primer.
5.Wear a mask when painting......tried without.....not good
