AnimeSuki Forum - Gundam Models Discussion Thread

i can see why they would go with the ver.ka version first. they probably want a novel and an OVA version, just like the original unicorn.
also, this way they can make two models with recycled molds. they also make those people happy who love decal heavy ver.ka kits.
although i bet the ver.ka FA unicorn wont sell all that well because MANY people will wait for an OVA version.
but i will definitely go for the ver.ka version since i already have a ver.ka unicorn. it also simply gets released earlier and im a sucker and cant wait >_>

@Obelisk ze Tormentor Yeah, RG Justice seems likely since Bandai didn't give any MG of it. Also, armor parts for Freedom and Justice are so similar. Though I think Strike Rouge is more likely.

@Butagami Yes, I'm not confident of an RG Zeta at this point in time. Imagine the number of small parts there are inside, which is prone to breaking apart. Also, MK-II's armor is similar to RX-78-2.

But there has been times when more than 1 MG kit came out in a month, right? :confused:

And the MG Exia Repair 2 would only be:

a. the regular MG Exia
b. change up a few armor pieces
c. add in the GN Sword 2
d. maybe swap out the hand parts from the MG 00 Raiser

Not much "work"... but a lot of profits. =P

What i can see right now is that they are bringing back the UC fans market at that same time with the launch of Age Series

pouring cold water to you....Exia Repair 2 ...i wld safely say later of nxt year....
MG 00 Qant Full Saber wld be much more popular than Exia Repair 2

i've been monitoring their marketing since 2004 when i watch SEED the 1st time

what i say now is that their focus is
-Age
-Unicorn
-Wing
-SEED HD
- G Gundam
- Turn A

Turn A itself is rarely seen. In fact it was the only Gundam that is in Correct Century era. While others in the same time (Correct Century) only non-Gundam Mobile Suit, so rarely glimpsed by fans itself, although it offers a good storyline.

Yes, little work there, but I still can't see it happening anytime soon.

Anyway, when will they release new waterslides? it's been a while right?

I think Exia Repair 2 could be one of those "rarely happens" incidents... =P

Well, that's a normal thing to say for a big fan like you. Don't worry since I always say that for Reborns in my case :)

For now, the only Heavyarms EW picture is not the final product. It's just a kitbash (or whatever proper term you call that) that Bandai made their modelers to do so that we'll have the idea of how it will look like (of course I could be wrong).

Also, I don't think it'll be released this year. Most likely next year :)

in terms of new releases the rest of the year is actually incredibly underwhelming for me :P
except for some AGE kits none of the HGs interest me, i already have a freedom, i dont care about the sandrock for now (like i sad, i want the upgraded kai version), i already have a MG OO and i dont care about the megasize AGE-1.
only the FA unicorn gets me interested^^ but i already have a unicorn and at 8000 yen it will be quite pricey, so maybe i wont get it right away.

I'll probably pick up MG 00 7 Swords and be done for the year. FA Unicorn is just way too excessive for me.

I'm a little disappointed that there's still no word on MG Nataku, but otherwise it's been a fantastic year for Gunpla (MG Epyon, hell yeah!).

I would like the Throne Gundams 1/100 Scale. MG Zwei? but not many talk about the thrones so thats probably why theres no heavy demand for them. :p

Yes, demand is always a thing. But if ever they make on out of the three, the other two will follow :)
