review of MG Duel

http://3dayslater.cocolog-enshu.com/...post-21e3.html

That is so sweet. I’ll def gonna get it sooner or later (I preferred the former). It really reminds me of my MG Alex coz the ‘naked’ version is so beautiful I ended up never build its armor. That may happen again with this MG Duel. The fact that it has its Bazooka Striker didn’t help matters at all :D. I hope the articulation delivers and no loose parts and joints. Does the review said anything about it?:confused:

One word: WOW. Never thought it'd look THAT good. Makes me itch even more for the upcoming releases.

yeah, it looks great^^ but it also doesnt look "simpler" to me. they said they wanted to reduce the part count on this kit but it looks as detailed as the other MG releases! :O im really curious now...

Behold! My GunPla collection video uploaded today!! Bwhahaahahahah!!!

Why does some people can't get sarcasm? *ultimate facepalm*

Anyway, I'm still curious about Duel if it'll retain the sliding armor on the legs. Besides my curiosity, it looks good. Just like Sir Dearka have said, it made me anticipate more on the upcoming releases.

For one, those hand parts with only one single moving digit from the MG Wing series is now present on the MG Duel here. So it is evident that they will be on the other 3 GAT-X kits.

Second, Bandai has gone back to basics here. That is making the kits looks as good as possible without all the bells and whistles. (Like sliding joints and plates.) All efforts are now concerntrated on the surfaces, like more details on the armours and brighter colours for the parts etc.

Bandai could have atleast included manipulator options like in the MG OO 7S/G.

It's times like these I realize that Animesuki doesn't have a "Models and Figures" section. But since this is related to Bandai's Armor Girls Project:

Looks like we've found our next AGP lineup after the GP03 musume.

Well, if you can't post them here, I think you can do it in the existing 'figurines thread' even though 'Armor Girls' are not exactly figurines. Personally, I think it's fine to post them here as long as it's about Gundam Musume and the likes.

finally done with MG 00 qan[t] full saber

Any pic with the GN ring and extra blades?

dont want to spoil the sword bits so didnt do that, but found a few pic on google image

btw there's no extra blades

Where did you get the Full Saber thing? o_O Did Bandai release an add on?

they didnt. its a thirdparty addon that you can find on ebay. its fully molded in color, too!

o_O

Is it worth it? What do I need to search on eBay? Also I'm just hoping it isn't overpriced and I'd prefer if it was located in the US and not like China or something.

well, sorry to disappoint you then! XD

Eh~ If Prime92 think it's ok quality, I'm not 100% sure if I want it. I hope we get a Bandai release.

whats wrong with prime92's opinion? :O i got several KO kits that she reviewed for example and they all were just as "alright" as she said :P i think she is definitely one of the best reviewers^^ great and many oob reviews, unique paintjobs and its funny to hear her yell at a bad kit when something goes wrong^^

and i REALLY doubt that we will see a bandai release of this. and if they do release it im sure that they wont release the full sabre pack by itself but together with the MG OOQ.

Nothing is wrong with Prime92's reviews. I just follow her opinion and trust that it's good. So if she says it's ok, then I have to assume it's ok since I'm not into GunPla much and I prefer to go with Bandai since they're the creators and the ones that own the GunPla business ya know?
