Ah, I still have to order my first RX-78. Decided it'd be the QYW edition already, but still there are so many things I like to buy! March and April are going to be busy months to me :]

Almost got that one but I voted for the 2.0 version when I built mine a month ago since it was the one that closest resembled the PG.

I'm rooting for MG Gundam X

Well by the looks of it MG Red Frame is out and selling to the public. Just wish HLJ would be more on thier feet and notify the pre-orders that its out. Box Art is pretty cool, nothing amazing but it still throws itself out and says buy me.

I don't know why but I don't feel Red Astray's design at all :]
And somehow I don't like the classic RX-78-2 look either :P Now call me horrible.
OYW version seems just... clean and cool at the same time. Without ver. Ka's sharp features and 2.0's retro look.

Well, GN0010 Nosferatu, I just couldn't help myself and I opened the boxes :P Robot Damashii Cherudim is indeed pretty sweet and posable. Though i suffer from the same problem of shield bits falling off too easily.

If you wanna fix the Shield Bits from falling off just do what I did with super glue.

If you want that is, it's a pretty extensive process that needs the utmost care and concentration. Here's what you do, take off the shield bits that are on the GN Drive (ignore the ones on the knees and shoulders, they never fell off with me). Put small dabs of super glue on the pegs where the Shield Bits are supposed to go, let dry for about...15-20 minutes, 30 at the most, then put the Shield Bits back on, make sure all the glue is dry though. The crust left from the glue should cause a good amount of friction to keep the bits from falling off.

I did that with mine, they never came off unless I took em off. :D

I just got my MG Gouf Ver 0.2 (Clear Parts)!!!!

I can't wait to build it up. Any suggestions on sites that sell good decals besides Samuel?

review on MG Red Frame Kai is up

I do something similar with my HG 00 Raiser,the wings come off too easily.

Except I dont use superglue,I use cement instead.

It comes offeasily when I force it off but otherwise doesnt.

More Gundam loot :D

Will Cherudim ever get a HG BOXART SHOWING IT USING THE RIFLE??

Speaking of which,I've never seen the HG Trans Am Cherudim box until now.

tbh, lyle was the sniper. niel is more of the pistol guy.
but that's just how i see it.

Um. Neil was the sniper, as he was the first Lockon. Lyle was the second Lockon.

Yeah, Lyle is quite a cowboy. Roaming the battlefield with his two colts :heh: Neil was more of a distance fighter so most (if not all) of the Dynames boxarts show it wielding a rifle.

Are you like some sort of millionaire?:p Or do you happen to just live in an area where Gunpla is sold?

what scale is your HG 00? the only parts falling off my 144 00 are the O raiser's GN sheilds. nothing else comes off that easily on the rest of it. the sheild bits do hold but once you barely touch them they fall. at times i just squeeze the fore arms back together as the peggs seems to split them apart just slightly to make them loose.

ouch, yup. that's what i ment:blush::heh:

Um, nope. Just being passionate about gunpla. Havin' steady job and enough time to assemble them. though I have to admit, those ones along with the 1/100 NG Cherudim shall be the first model kits I assembled in like 5 months ^^

These days having a steady job would feel like being a millionaire. Wish I could get some luck in that department. Oh how many RD figures I would buy...:(

yeh... Though I still wish my funds allowed me to buy a HCM Pro Cherudim... But rite now I am saving up for other things... whew. And there comes Wing in April :]

if you guys are wondering about cherudim using pistols all the time its cause neil apparently had a 100% hit rate when sniping (pistols not counted as they arent for accuracy). if you notice neil has NEVER missed a shot when sniping whereas lyle whne using that simulator on the cherudim only got 78%. and in the upcoming movie zabaniya (even if it had a new sniper) is said to be primarily a heavy assault type like cherudim GNHW/R.

Nos, did your Robot Damashii Susanowo arrived yet? Mind giving me a review?

Yeah, arrived like a month ago...>_>

Except that Neil missed against Ali-al-Saachez and the Overflag squadron.

@sir dearka

Wow gouf ignited,i really want to have that kit. Unfortunely MG Red Frame have to comes first.Now i really have to a quality time to assemble it.It shall be mark as my first MG ever.(disregarding my old KO Zeta plus):p

Is it normal for a 1/100 NG Cherudim can't hold it two beam pistols in place? Mine can't hold it if I post my cherudim upside down.

Review please... :D

Here's something I don't think a lot of people from around here is going to get since this series of kit don't get much love here :-

SD Unicorn. Bought it to see how the transformation gimmick work as well as in view that I don't have to do much painting to make it look acceptable.

Well, it's a pretty good figure, thought it feels fragile, I guess of the plastic materials. The hip claws have a bunch of movement, and they're pretty cool. The two GN Swords are also quite well, and the Susanowo holds them tightly.

The one major drawback is that the joints become pretty loose quickly. I've already had to use the super glue trick on the shoulders and hip claws.

well..for me going to get it on mon :eyespin:

1 question: The major difference between 1/100 Cherudim and the 1/100 Designer color Cherudim. 400 yen differences.

{Loving the Cherudim recently :D}

It's normal. Though I don't feel like I miss much being unable to pose the Cherudim upside down :]

As for Gouf Ignited... well, My Blaze Zaku Phantom Dearka custom waited too long for its companion kit to be posed next to :D

LED, extra decals and the different colour.

I bought mine as a bargain for 1800 yen. The Desgner's color; Sell out :D
Also bought CHM pro Dynames for 900 yen and HG Trans Am Cherudim for 720 yen :]
I'm loving it veeery much! :D

Clear scan for the HG 1/144 Gundam X:



The satellite cannon panels are no longer flat panels like on the original 1/144, instead the details are etched in, which means no need for stickers :)

:love:

Gotta have it...gotta have it..gotta have it...
All the details and proportions seem just perfect. It should look gorgeous when penel-lined!

Oh word of advise for anyone wanting to buy the RD D-Mode Unicorn Gundam, GET IT. :D

if only they could make gundam X and double X MG :(

B E A Utiful.

Nice! I thought that Kshatriya is much bigger than the Jegan, though?

And to celebrate the assembling of Yzak's HG Gouf Ignited, back to the roots. The Dearka kit bunches!
