as for those pair ups, i reckon bandai is doing this new promotional scheme for the sake of the upcoming release of Akatsuki. well i ain't buying any of these anyway, saving up for the hi-nu (amuro's finest!) one of the most powerful gundams in UC

This just in folks, Gundam Side Base 1 now have new pics for the upcoming MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam (pics of box art included). I would have post the pics here, but alas as usual my com's connection gives out unknown error messages.

Blue Destiny Preview

Just like to point out that the MG Hi-Nu box art is drawned by Yuji Kaida, renowed Monster Artist in Japan, who also did quite a bit of early MG Box Art. No wonder it's taking them so long to push it out.
It's quite a refreshing change from all the CG Box Art of Morishita. |

Only the 1/100 SF was bad (really bad, and this is coming from an SF fan) but the 1/100 Destiny was REALLY good IMO. It stopped me from getting other kits because of that. |
IIRC wasn't the 1/100 Destiny once on a list of top selling toys and models a while back? It shows that the Destiny does have as much potential to sell as the S-Freedom does.

OMFG OMFG
THANK YOU FOR THE NEW PICS OF HI-NU!!! OMG *drools* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Now, I'm really tempted to pre-order this..but I still would rather wait for dalong's review first. Goddamn, those pics are quite amazing! |
How does that Hi-Nu base fit the Gundam? I don't suppose it will work for the Nu Gundam, which looks wasted standing.
|
As shown in the pics, the custom stand is inserted into the MG Hi-NU's back. For older model kits, that's what Bandai's Action Base is for: you can use it on older models like the MG Nu Gundam, which doesn't have pegs to accomodate the newer stands.
|
Whoa nice, finally some Gundam Base pics. The boxart looks awesome, and it seems like the box itself will be somewhere around SF-FB's size. Damn the shipping is going to suck.
And blue beam sabers! :D It's odd though, Hi-Nu seems to have a beam dagger or something, which is smaller than a normal beam saber. Anyways, definitely on my to get list. |

There was a long era in which Destinies were always backordered or low stock in HLJ so I'd assume they were pretty popular outside Japan as well? |

While the Destiny may be an adequate seller, its nowhere near the popularity of its Kira(ian) counterparts :p Then again, the same could be said about the Justice. Although I really don't particularly find the pairings to be... deserving. - Tak |
It would be awesome if they came with a dual stand for both models so you end up with a semi diorama of the end fights.

I think I'm the only one here who thinks the VS packaging for the "Big Four" are specials... here's a bit of proof:
