Please tell me this isn't some fancy scratch build based on the original bawoo?

[Kirayuki]

Nope, it is a proper HGUC line planned for December release

[Knight-of-Gold]

Its an online exclusive.

I hope the body is a new mold. The old HGUC Bawoo is already quite outdated. If not, Bandai must make a MG of that Re-Bawoo to compensate for my disappointment .

I looks too similar to the original. There are some parts, meaning there probably is a new runner or two. Plus it's using the sinanju rifle. Not a "new" weapon.

I think its a remake. It does say its planned for release in December 2013.

I seriously need to collect more non-Gundam type(as in not Gundam but other MS) model kits.

I think Zaku, Gouf, Kampfer, Sinanju, or Tallgeese variants is a good start for suit that’s different from Gundams. While you're at it, why not buy aquatic suits like the cute Acguy?

On the topic of that Re-Bawoo, Bandai really need to make MG of it to kickstart a slew of ZZ MGs. From MG Re-Bawoo, Bandai can make the actual MG Bawoo (like what they did with MG Sinanju Stein). Not to mention that ver 2.0 of ZZ Gundam is long overdue, godammit! I mean, RX-78-2 already has 1.5, OYW, 2.0 (& 3.0!), Zeta has its 2.0, and Nu has the Ka version. ZZ 2.0 is a missing link that should get made >_<.

Don’t worry, Bandai, fans is already waiting for the 2.0 of ZZ (along with GP01, GP02, GP03, and hell, throw in GP04 too lol). You just have to make it a good kit and it will sell itself.

I like some non Gundam makes, in particular the Astray line and the Flag line, but I am thrown off by the creepy single eye of many non gundam models

I'd buy the gp01 in a heartbeat. I'd buy the originals three times! If bandai would just give in.

At the very least remake the RG kits that don't have 2.0s. It's a perfect setup!

So I guess you don't like Sazabi or Sinanju?

Btw, you know what’s creepier than single eye? It’s four eyes in four different places :

^ that is very creepy....

In terms of the Sazabi and Sinanju, the eye is small enough that I dont notice it all the time and they look really cool, but with like the Zaku or Gouf, the eye is pretty big and noticeable, that is what I really dislike

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

^ Like it or not, mono-eye suits with eye that can move around is one of Gundam franchise’s most popular trademarks. The point is, just like you said, to make the MS looks creepy, menacing and monstrous because mono-eye suits started (and until this day still play an active role) as the enemies to our beloved pair-eyed Gundams. I think they kinda borrowed the idea from ancient Greek myth’s Cyclops (the one-eyed giant that threatens Odysseus).

[Providenceangle]

As a general rule. Not being human like is creepy. More or less features(eyes, ears, nose), masks(hidden features). These things are menacing/creepy on various levels.

Well I'm going to try and do some work on my gundams. Keep my mind clean until GTA5. Then I'll forget all about everything else. lol

When you're playing GTA or after it, please make sure to stay away from a loaded gun and your grandma .

I love the Tallgeese!
Its sad that Tallgeese 2 is only limited edition and costs more than the usual Tallgeese. Well, I like Tallgeese I more so its okay, but as a fan of the Tallgeese, I want Tallgeese II and III(When it comes out)

Well its a personal opinion, and i choose to not like them.

In terms of the Tallgeese III, isnt the Gadessa`s launcher based on.the Tallgeese III`s gun?

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, just want to tell you a thing or two about mono-eye suits . I also know and understand that there are a lot of people out there who share your taste regarding mono-eye suits.

Try looking further back and you’ll find the weapon in the old V-Dash Gundam’s Beam Smartgun:

creepier could be a fitfth eye on the d###! (or the tail )



i bought the Hg Delta Kai and i won the special set of MG in the Bandai's MID YEAR CAMPAIGN 2013



but my nerdy heart is collapsed (first of all beacause i win something ): i have to sell them...

...for not having enough space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i'll keep for me the Red Frame and i'll sell them (when they will arrive)..

but the Full Armor Unicorn, the Sinanju and the 00 are really-REALLY- pretty...

Spoiler for eheh:

the only good point in this is the italian price of gunpla,so i can earn some more..

Spoiler for asd:

really, the other reason is that i whant to buy a new laptop,and the around 400€ that i'll earn with the money on Xmass,and somethin extra i'll reach easly the price of the laptop..
