That's why I love those series of MS, they're both smaller than standard MS yet pack twice the power. Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) |

I personally have no problem with it. |
how about the HGUC Loto's, who were much smaller? :heh:

(<Height in Meters> / 144 ) * 100 = actual kit Height in Centimeters I don't have an RD Victory to compare but I do have an RD F91. So on the one hand they're right: The F91 is supposedly 15.2m tall in real life. That means that in scale it should actually be 10.5cm tall. The HGUC F91 is definitely bigger than scale. I put in the HG G30th RX-78kit in for comparison, as the RX-78 is supposedly 18m (which is exactly 12.5cm), and basically point of reference for all my MS kits. Don't ask about the dust buildup http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psa9jdnwos.jpg RD F91 = 12cm HGUC F91 = 11cm G30th RX-78 = 12.5cm But the RD F91 is taller than the HGUG F91. So if the RD F91 'fits' the 1/144 scale better than the HGUC, explain to me this picture where I've just taken the photos right now at short notice? Unless they think that the Crossbone, F91, and Victory kits are the same size as the older HGUC Gundams (which they're not). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psdk6sp2fp.jpg Also, there were no 1/144 F91 kits, but there were Victory Kits, and yes the older 1/144 kits were smaller. I don't mind the scale difference too much as it's not a bit enough difference to make me freak out, and on a diorama the difference between 1/137 to 1/144 isn't big enough to matter (you can use N-scale train bits with 1/144 scale kits, and N-scale wavers between 1/148 to 1/160). The smaller the scale size, the smaller difference in actual size. And the difference is so small it's negligible for most modelmakers save for the most a-retentive. So if it's not a big enough deal for mecha modelers, I'd say it's not a big enough deal for casual gunpla builders to whine about. Quote:

Putting this in a separate post just to clarify a few things. Just to illustrate how the smaller a scale is the less difference would matter:
(<Height in Meters> / Scale ) * 100 = actual kit Height in Centimeters Let's say you have an 15.2m tall Gundam F91 MS. What would it be like in Cms as per scale (Rounded to 2nd decimal point)? 1/6 (Large Soldier Figure Scale) = 253.33cm 1/12 (Superhero Figure Scale) = 126.66cm 1/18 (G.I. Joe/Star Wars small figure scale) = 84.44cm 1/35 (Standard military vehicle scale) = 43.43cm 1/60 (Perfect Grade) = 25.33cm 1/72 (Military Aircraft scale) = 21.11cm 1/100 (Master Grade) = 15.2cm 1/137 (as per previous post, Kakarot's approx) = 11.09cm 1/144 (High Grade UC) = 10.55cm 1/148 (Higher N-Scale) = 10.27cm 1/160 (Lower N-Scale) = 9.5cm So the smaller in scale you go, the less obvious the size difference is. |

Anyway, thanks for your enlightening post. Like I said, I personally have no problem with the scale-issue. In fact, now that I see RD F91 is bigger than the HGUC, I'm considering to get that one :D. Other than bigger size, I remember RD F91 has better-shaped "fins" on the shoulders. |
Well, that's why the RD line is specifically non-scale--most of them focus more on playability, so if you're not fond of building kits get those. They tend to be more durable--the only reason I got the RD F91 was because I'd resigned myself years back that Bandai was never going to make the Victory/F91/Crossbone series MS in HGUC format, but I'm glad they did (yes, I have the MG F91 too--considering that I don't collect MGs that much, that shoudl tell you how much I love these small Gundams).
I prefer kits because I like building them and I can customise them to my liking. But it does worry me: If Bandai is making HGUC F-series kits that are slightly larger than proper scale, then I guess a perfectly in-scale Gundam F90 (14.8meters, so 10.27cm) and fully-integrated for mission packs would be a nightmare for Bandai to make. |

HGUC F90s complete with its packs and non-ugly face should be a treat. |

The MG had them fold inward but they were ridiculously tiny as a result. Quote:

So if I want a post UC gundam to match the height of my usual MS, I should get the 1/100 size?

Question! Thought I was gonna get HGUC Unicorn, but due to playing SRW Z2 non-stop and making good use of Garrod whenever I can (gotta love blowing up huge lines of enemies with TS Cannon), I decided I'd like to get a Double X first.
I know the MG just came out, but currently that's a bit over my budget mainly because of shipping and how it'll certainly be taxed when it gets here, so I'm looking at that HGAW model that came out in 2013. Anyone here owns it? How is it? I've seen a couple reviews on YouTube and it seems to look pretty good, but thought I'd get some more input on it. Cheers :V |

Yes the sizes are closer if you get the 1/100 in some cases, they will be taller than 18m units, but will be about the same size if not less than other larger units And no do not get unless you really really want. The old kits are old, and have issues, along with people inflating the prices thinking they're rare. The MG's are either dated, like the F91, or have some serious flaws (like the Victory). Of the 1/100 bunch, I think the Crossbone MGs are the best, but they're still dated by todays standards Quote:

Mainly because unlike that one, in this case it seems like it's all one big piece @ the v-fin, so there's the risk of dropping red outside of the limit of the 'jewel'. But I suppose I'll see to that whenever the kit actually gets here. |
Got my HGUC Pale Rider!!!
Ummm how do I link Imgur pics again? Edit: Helois Thanks! http://i.imgur.com/EXPJtTul.jpg |

And I finally found some pics comparing the 1/100 MG versions. Again, comparing the Crossbone wiht the RX-78: http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m93/p/m93_93.jpg And with the Unicorn: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PcjPXgesAg...0/IMG_5699.JPG http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PcjPXgesAg...0/IMG_5701.jpg And just for giggles, the rD F91 comapred with the SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Black RX and Ultra-Act Ultraman: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...vh5OABoetbmiYq |
