C3 x Hobby 2011: ELS Qan[T] Resin Kit - Updated Large Images
http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2011/0...resin-kit.html



Now this would be a cool MG kit. But then again, the gradient effect on the wings and the feet would be hard for Bandai to do.

I noticed that the feet of the ELS Qan[T] resin kit is somewhat inaccurate to the line art, they made the resin kit look like its wearing high heels. They should make a MG out of this, if they did I hope they fix the feet. Probably they could achieve the gradient affect if they put does parts on a separate runner.

That's what paints are for ^^.

Well, even if my dream can't come true (MG Justice), with Freedom made into RG, hopefully RG Justice won't be far behind. Also, the three stooges (Forbidden, Raider, Calamity) while they on it ;).

DEM HEAT SHOTELS :love:

Finally. Although I'm sad that we don't get the TV version of Sandrock (the beehive-like shoulders kinda turn me off), It looks cool overall. So, do they really include Sandrock's armor in this?

Is that what I think it is.... :eek:

OK. So this will be the final version of Unicorn as it's stated that since all currrent form of MG Unicorn is uncompatiable with the FA Equipment, Bandai will includes new measures with this upcoming kit.

I wonder will Bandai ditch the transformation gimmick with the MG FA Unicorn, because I'm willing to bet with all the junks it's carrying, this will be like the MG Ex-S Gundam all over if they keep that gimmick.

PS :- I can hear echoes of people cursing and swearing at Bandai now.

Wait till you see the Full Armor Anime Version :heh

i think ditching the transformation would be a logical step. it would provide a stronger frame for all the additional equipment which would make it a lot easier and cheaper for bandai to make this kit.
also, i have never seen a full armor unicorn in unicorn mode. i have always seen it in destroy mode!

but yeah, this was inevitable^^ before i got my unicorn ver.ka titanium finish i knew that there would be a FA version sooner or later.
i really dont know whether im going to buy this or not. the unicorn banshee has a higher priority for me.

I would say that Bandai will get rid of the transforming gimmick. Or, they might release a Unicorn Mode version...LOL...w/ the Full Armor version's weapons...

I still have to get the MG Unicorn OVA version. But I've recently been on a 00 series GunPla collect-a-thon... as you can see my Gundam model kit collection video I posted up on YouTube...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj76DWGucmw

^ I even threw in some epic music in the background. I still have to get a few from the 00 series, and I'm wishing we get a MG Astraea, MG Exia R2, and MG O Gundam (Type ACD). Besides that, I'd also wish for a SD Astraea.

Then I'd only need to get MG Exia (regular), SD Exia, SD 00 Raiser, SD O Gundam, and SD Astraea (if they make it)... Then I'd say that my 00 series is complete.

Oh and I can't forget about getting the SD 00 Gundam 7 Sword + G and the MG version of that kit...

=P

Unicorn... All I'd get is the MG Unicorn OVA version, SD Unicorn, and MG Unicorn Full Armor and its SD version. I skip out on all Ver. Ka kits since they're like "designer" kits that are updated & improved with the regular MG release a bit later.

knowing bandai they might keep the transformation though. simply because its cheaper to just reuse old molds :P they just have to add a couple new runners (the ones for the gatlings exist already) and they have a brand new kit thats a LOT cheaper in the planing stage.

and about the OO kits you want to get, why do you want the regular MG exia?^^ you already have the ignition mode version which is exactly the same, just with chrome parts!^^ but hey, its your money ;D

and again about the kits you want, i REALLY dont see a O gundam happening in MG form. you also dont seem to like HG kits, you dont collect them at all? that way you could have an exia R2 already for example^^

what i do find strange about this image of the FA unicorn though is that it is indeed the ver.ka version and not the OVA version. which in my opinion is a sign that they will make 2 versions of this (ver.ka and OVA) and probaby wont change the transformation afterall...

I want the regular Exia as well because I want to make the Ignition Mode version into Exia and the other into the Repair 1...LOL

ah, makes sense^^ i dont really like the R1, im happy with my regular exia.
but what about HG kits? they are cheaper and have a bigger selection.

Aw yea~ Gotta get this, this, the SD version, and some more LED's...

so the sword is going to light up with one big clear piece for light piping? neat!
im not a huge fan of their LEDs though... they flicker like crazy and so far i have only used them once after finishing each kit and after that i didnt touch them anymore XD

But knowing you have a "complete" kit with all the LEDs...so worth it.

=)

And I have plenty... I have 9 LED's..

2x Exia Ignition Mode
1x 00 Raiser
6x i bought separately..

looks like i need a few more
