Looking back at the scenes with this unit, it never really moved all that much to begin with(except for the special weapon round). All it did was just stand/float in most of the screen time it gets.:heh:

Qubeley Papillon is the God Mars of Gunpla: Doesn't need to move because it's just too powerful. :uhoh:

Impulse buy!

HG Sengoku Astray lol

Was really tempted to get the 2 Fenice's my store had, but I remembered that I had some other expenses I needed to cover so I had to settle with one kit T^T


Also two online exclusives, the old 1/144 Sumo, but gold and silver plated

I thought the DM exia was bad...

I knew the Strike was popular, but hot damn, its way too popular.

Well, the Strike is a pretty basic gundam design, allowing people to easily use it as a base for their own gundam creation.

Although, this is a modified Build Strike, isn't it? So it makes sense as it is the main gunpla of the current series.

I actually liked it. Althought the backpack is a little... edgy.

On a related note, I'm thinking on getting some of these models at the end of the month:

-HG UC Hi-Nu Gundam (1/144) (weirdly, it's cheaper here than the HG 1/144 Nu Gundam by like $10)
-HG Full Armor Unicorn (1/144)
-HG Tallgeese III (1/144)
-HG Wing Gundam (1/144)

Somebody has any experience with one of those before?

No no, we know the Strike is pretty much the Panzer IV of all Gundams, but its popularity is somewhat overwhelming :heh:

I mean, its a great all purpose design, but hot damn, this thing is still going! :D

It's due to Build Fighters. That's the power of shows as advertising machines.

The Hi-Nu and Nu are great HG kits. Very little work to make them look great!

I don't have the HG Full Armor but, the HG Unicorn Destroy, which it's based on, is a nice kit.

You're going to have to put in, some serious work, to get the tallgeese 1/144 to look EW movie good. It's a decent kit though.

Hi Nu is cheaper because it's smaller, and only 2 of it's funnels can actually come off and open, unlike it's brother the Nu where all 6 funnels are deployable. Still it's a very good model

HG full armor Unicorn, also a good kit, limited poses though, mainly due to all it's weapons getting in the way. Unlike it's MG counterpart, it can actually hold out it's arm while holding it's weapons. Only downside imo is that it doesnt come with the 2x beam javelins.

HG Tallgeese III. Not bad by any means BUT it's age really shows. Simple polycap connections for every joint, which btw will loosen up very fast if you play around with it too much. It'll need quite a paintjob on it to look good. All things considered it's not bad for a 16 year old kit, although you may not want to bother with it unless you're willing to put in alot of effort.

HG Wing... Buy it. Buy it now. :heh:

Actually the Strike was going strong even before Build Fighters, its a classic design, especially in Japan

Build Fighters is just milking off that popularity so Bandai have more excuses to make variations xD

After a quick search, it seems that, aside from the Daggers, there are really only 3 actual variants of the Strike: the Strike Rouge, the Strike Noir, and the Gale Strike. Most of everything else is probably just putting a different pack on one of these 4 mobile suits.

So yeah, the Striker pack system definitely aids in producing variations, and I suppose it kind of fits the theme of modifying gunpla for Build Fighters.

The difference with build fighters, is that it's someone's idea to sell kits, without making ones that could fail(AGE), or would cost a lot to develop.

We've gotten more kits from old shows, in the last 4 years, then I could have ever predicted...

I hope bandai goes over it's other seed HG kits. It'd be nice to get a new ageis, blitz, buster, duel. At the very least. Maybe some more MG bad guy seed kits. Gaia, I'm looking at you!

On another topic, I hope I’m not the only one who wants the new HGCE line to continue and not stop after Strike & Rouge. Those Gundams and other suits who likely will never get made into 1/100, RG, and MG (for whatever reason) like the Trio Gundams, Providence, CGUE, DiNN, etc really need the upgrade in HG tech. I myself can’t wait to get a proper Forbidden with the right proportion and proper scythe & cloak, not the deformed version that is the old HG. Not to mention the long-overdue Blast Impulse :mad:.

I still await a 1/144 hg or 1/100 Slash Zaku phantom (blue) and a windam.

They gave us 2 new mdoels with the seed re-edit, why not with destiny???

Skye629 2014-02-07 17:25

Booooo clear parts, I preferred the normal solid colors, they stand out much better for the Banshee
