Then, are they not releasing enough Unicorn (and other UC) kits or is the whole market just not doing well, going by the drop in 2011-2012?
I'm also curious to know the market share of UC kits. |

The AGE RD figures aren't fantastic designwise with the stretched torsos, but HLJ has them on sale so i bought all 4. It isn't the first RD that doesn't sell well, the Ahead (all version) from 00 gundam were also very bad sellers, even if they are quite good figures (that miss some features, but that's an RD line problem) And yes there is a economic crisis in the world so sales are bound to be falling a bit. I still intend to get the MG AGE-1 normal. |
Honestly, i don't know if they arent releasing enough kits or if the entire market is doing bad, but the usual boom comes when you announce a new series & release new kits(as you can see in the diagram), then it usually takes a dive until more kits are made, i hope someone releases a new diagram for the full year of 2012 so we can see if the sales went up or if they keep falling.
I'll see if i can dig the article up for you monster. Quote:

I honestly agree about the AGE MG kits from a personal perspective, the only MG from it so far which I would consider getting is the AGE-2 DHm simply due to the fact that the design is great, and the overall rule that pirate gundams are win
As for the HG's Bandai can go all out since they're relatively easy to make, and they are quite cheap compared to some of the more expensive (and nicer, I love my HGUC Sazabi lol) HGUC kits |

Master Grade Aegis Review
http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2012/1...review-by.html Looks like you need to at least paint up the clear pieces for the forehead camera in clear blue or metallic blue. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bFcimSSluo...Ic/s640/63.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aCnr1un3Y0...k4/s640/64.jpg |

Painting of clear pieces is nothing new....in fact it looks better if you paint it
|
i like the fact that bandai doesn't color their clear parts. that way, if i wanted a clear piece to be a different color i can just paint it the color i want.

It will be amazing to see how Zeta's transforming frame gets reused in the future for other Transforming units like Wing.

I’m actually surprised with this articulation:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M48-N1U26C...A/s1600/79.jpg Given the design, I never thought it could pull it off. Now, I don’t have any complain for Aegis’ articulation. It’s superb! Quote:
|
I wonder how are they gonna pull off RG Force impulse or RG ZZ though...

@MG Aegis Oh god, i'd post a picture that explains what im feeling but i cant, it doesnt exist, god Aegis is looks good. |
I just hope the MG Aegis doesn't have loose parts falling out all over the place with each pose.

MG Aegis has no backpack so i can see how the articulation is crazy when it comes to doing posing.. Its the sister mobile suit to the MG Age 1 Normal for articulation.
On another note I just started the MG Age 2 Normal.. Have to say the core is odd to build, different from the other MG's i've built. |

I'm saving up for both the Byarlant Custom and the Rozen Zulu. I'm already prepared to give up on the Clanche Custom and AGE-3 Fortress :heh:
|
I find most UC unicorn suits extremely ugly and uninteresting. Only Sinanju and Unicorn gundam itself are woth my attention. I have both as RD figures so no model kits of those.
I gonna go mental with clanche custom. I hope we still get that G-bouncer custom and the chronos. Yesterday i received my Robot Damashii AGE-1 normal which i got out of a HLJ sale. What a great figure! So underestimated, the promo pictures (where he almost always stands bent forward) don't do it justice! |

Im with you on the Clanche Custom & Khronos >.> its a pretty easy remold of the Zeydra imo, the only problem I think which is holding them back are the AGE sales..... |
Quote:
Kinda have to agree with firefox, I just can't find the vast majority of UC suits to be appealing. Some of them are, though. |

There is more to gundam then UC! I got AGE 1/144 HG's and seed MG's that are fantastic and a MG tallgeese in januari :). I'm don't feel like left in the cold at the moment. I do feel that tehre is inconsistence. There are for instance too much designs, bandai should focus more a a suit and let it do it stuff for more then 1 episode. I like some UC suits, i even ordered a 1/100 MG rezel (mainly because of the 50% discount ;) ). i'm even building a 1/100 MG Hi-Nu gundam!, even if it is inferior to the 1/200 HCM pro version of it... |

You do realize that I was talking in the context of Gundam Unicorn, right? I wasn’t talking about the whole UC Gunpla, let alone Gunpla in its entirety :heh:. |
On the subject of Unicorn designs I also fall in the area of finding a lot of them ugly. However I actually find that part of the appeal to me, that Byarlant Custom for example, just looks like an absolute brute (haven't seen episode 4 so I don't know yet if it was a brute). And that brutality makes for a appealing and interesting design to me.
That said the Byarlant is not on my purchase priority list. |

Oh and.. http://inb4suiton.blogspot.com/2012/...elease_17.html http://inb4suiton.blogspot.com/2012/...elease_17.html |
For me the appealing thing about the UC suits is their detail, and some of them are really unique, like the Byarlant Custom.
Also, looking at the HG Full Granza - the armour looks like it's too big. It looked much sleeker in the show. |

If you dont mind watching scenes before watching the full thing |

it's a full armor, so honestly i doubt it'll look sleek at all in model form, It wasnt really sleek in the show eithr to be honest. |
Quote:
I received my RD Strike dagger today, in some area's it's a step back from the AGE-1 normal. Why Banday? Why do you have to mess everything up? Can't you just keep what works and add some hardpoints to fit weaposn on?????? |
I kind of hope the full-armour Age-1 stays chunky like that. [I imagine it'll be parts over the top of a Normal rather than moulded-on armour, so hopefully so.]
