Exia does appear with that pose in the series though

I have:

RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT-1 "Alex"

RX-79 Ez8 Gundam

Which are both painted and highly detailed.

I also have Crossbone gundam full cloth. It's not finished yet. I was a little dissapointed to see that crossbone gundam comes with smaller pieces and does not stand up to the others I have.

To me, Gundam Alex and Ez8 are just horrible designs. But that;s just me: a flishy-flashy Destiny/Impulse Gundam enthusiast.

Yeah I don't like the the thin pretty little toy gundam with wings and swords. Just loses the realism.

Ah... "realistic" science fiction. Well, we have totally different tastes, then ;)

Just finished asembling HG 1/100 Justice. And waiting for my dessert... MG Destiny Extreme Blast! W00t! :D

Yeah I don't like those physics-defying acrobatic bipedal giant robots that mind-bogglingly use laser swords to greater effect than truck-sized cannons. Just loses the realism.

Gundam is realistic?

Well no but some series have really pushed it pass fake/impossible. :eyespin:

Excuse me, I think every single Gundam series to date has done that.

:eyebrow: Leaving out space battles somethings they do on earth or in gravity could be possible. Though this is not the thread to discuss it O_O

and you have been excused

I'm not saying gundams are realistic. I'm saying the ones with guns 5 times bigger than they are and special powers is over the top.

The only Gundams to ever use weapons that were bigger than themselves are Freedom, Justice, S. Freedom, I. Justice, and Dynames. And there's yet to be Gundam with a weapon 5 times bigger than the gundam itself.

Yeah. Not mentioning my favorite Gundam Stamen with its huge Dendrobium. Which, of course, I bought right away. The bigger and more crazy the weapon is, the cooler it looks. Thats why I collect those model kits ;)

I don't care much about these issues.... Mechas, sci-fi, or anything that promises to make things go BOOM is good enough for me.:D

MG MS-06R2 Johnny Ridden's Zaku Ver. 2.0

Is it safe to say that future MGs will have individually-jointed fingers?

nope , just look at MG Infinite Justice...
but it still a prototype , maybe will have change ( but mostly not , the chance is slim to near zero )

Talk about weapons bigger than MS's.

speaking of "unrealism", how does virtue not crush the ground and fall with all that mass?:heh:

c'mon guys its a show

:]

MG Destiny soon :P

10 500 yens for that Strike Freedom o_O :twitch:

Because despite all that mass, Virtue is actually lighter than a Union Flag due to the GN Particles in its body (source: HG 1/144 Virtue manual). GN Particles it seems, makes the objects it's infused into lighter (as mentioned in the Gundam 00V Dynames Torpedo profile, where its GN Torpedo Launcher actually becomes lighter once it's connected to the Dynames).

hm that's very strange gundam technology alright. to think that gn particles could even affect the mass of an object.

Yea the GN particles are basically the pixy dust in the AD gundam universe.

They use it to explain almost everything, just like nanomachines in MGS4.

At least its better than "A wizard did it".

LOL, pixie dust. GN particles even look like pixie dust :D

A question. Is the clear color green base stand for 1/100 out already? Because all I can find so far is the one for 1/144s

The Green Pixie Dust Filled Action Base 1 should be out on the 28th this month :D

:D

I have to get one for my Dynames. The GN Arms is tempting me, too... Ok, I'll get it :P

when will the new decals from bandai going to come out? Im especially interested in the Launcher/sword and aile strike striker decals.

haha or doctors and suppositories:twitch:

Did I spell pixie dust wrong? Lol....crap.

I've been wondering exactly how much money would it take for the model kit designers to engineer an MG kit? MGs are a lot more rare than HG, and it seems like we'd never see side-character gundams get an MG rendition of themselves (Gaia, Chaos, etc).

Nice. Looks good.

Yet we can get an infinite number of Zaku's? I don't understand why it's necessary to have a MG of every single type of Zaku in the UC universe, yet we can't even get main character MS's for AU.

UC is great and all, but a rough count on Dalong gives me 16 MG Zaku. 16/111! Almost 15% of all MG's are some kind of Zaku.

the same reason that Transformers have so many repaints of starscream - rather than just make a mold and never use it for anything but the original model, they can keep using it for variants and get a massive increase in profit from the investment of the original mold. smart business, although it does annoy.

Upcoming Models from Gunota:

Master Grade Infinite Justice Lineart

HG 00 Gundam preview, Prototypes of HG Cherudim, Arios and Seravee Gundams and HG Ahead and GN-X III

I have a bad feeling about the HG Arios that it's going to be shoulder heavy because of its shoulder wings. HG Kyrios (at least, mine) has loose shoulders thanks to the transformations, and I hope Arios won't have the same problem
