I see some GX mecha there. Does it mean were getting new models for those?

The scales are rather off for some of them...like 1/150 >_> ..

heard there was some 1/32 UC Gundam kits...
anyone with link to picture?

You mean this?

is that buster mod?

No, more like that Buster is looking at things to change it into Verde. Or that it is confused over its identity.

Wait, so it's pretty much the same build with just a like extra parts?

No Bandai is planning to release UC Gundam figures and mechanics in 1/32 scale - think of military models but in Gundam UC

The 1/144 HG Verde Buster kit is just the 1/144 HG Buster repackage with extra parts.

You can basically choose to build the original Buster or the new Verde for this kit.

Wait...that means 2 kits in one?

just read the gunota post for new kits, including
"MG GAT-X105 Strike Gundam IWSP - w/ Grand Slam, October, 4,410 yen"

What is the Grand Slam?

The sword that the PG Strike has.

(I just love Danny Choo's Strike).

i want to ask does alot of p[eople buy hg or mg?i really want to get a mg but the figures i want arent out so is hg worth buying? as i had a hg once its arm lossened alot because i kept on changing its pose

Hooray! An MG IWSP! Couldn't care less about the Grand Slam, but the IWSP is good news. I really thought we'd see the Strike Noir get an MG first, since it'd be another reuse of the Strike molds, but with enough changes that people might not gripe, plus the new backpack. Hopefully the IWSP kit will include the catapult stand, or maybe just the one the Freedom came with since it takes up less space.

I F***ING CAME.

FINALLY Bandai have decided that it would be awesome.

enjoy it

now only if I have time to make PG RX-78-1... ^ ^

Does anyone have translations for paint colors? In the back of every Gundam manual, they always show the colors needed (like 50% something and 50% something) so I was wondering if anyone knew a site that had translations for the colors. It would help a lot :)

I have to agree, breakable V-fins would be a problem.. and they do look to big to fold up. But at the same time, I don't want the V-fins to sort of stick out like they do in the HG 1/144. :)

Yup, I agree with everything you mentioned. I liked how Stargazer looked in the lineart, but this is definitely something I won't be picking up. Unless of course, this is just a very early prototype.

I bet it's the same old MG Strike with IWSP included... I wish Bandai would release a Strike weapons pack or something, that includes MG Sword, Launcher, IWSP, among others. If you already have a MG Strike, this is just a waste of money.

any idea if they will be making 1/100 of the new duel and buster?

^ Don't count on it. MSV and/or other side story kits usually do not get a HG 1/100 treatment, unless they are really popular. Such as in the case of Red & Blue Frames.

But perhaps the Strike Noir will have a chance...

There are many transformable model kits and there is no problem with foldable V fins (Ok, they're Master Grade), but if it's such a problem you still can take it off...

You forgot Gold Frame Amatsu, which is also a recurrent MS in Astray but it's a bit more sophisticated than other Gundam.

Oh yeah, that one. I forgot. Well, I can't be blamed :p because its one of those few Gundams that doesn't look like a Gundam. In fact, the Amatsu reminded me of an older anime I saw back in the 80s when I was a kid.

- Tak

Well it's not so important but it's a good addition to the 1/100 collection.
What I meant is that the show's Gundam look all the same so they're easier to produce into model kits.
Many Astray Gundam don't follow the same design as basic Strike for example (but it's ok to say that Amatsu don't look like a gundam except for the = mouth:heh:, but it's quite an original design in my opinion. Which 80's anime is it?).

And I'd love to see a 1/100 or even 1/144 Regenerate :cool:

Welp, its from Majin Eiyuuden, produced in 1988 also by Sunrise.

Here is the Gundam Amatsu

Here are some of the mecha from Ma-Ei-den

(Hell, its not even difficult to guess the main 'cheese' from that set. They all follow the same bloody color patterns!)

- Tak

I was thinking the same thing. A part of me wishes I had bought the MG Strike Rouge instead so....yeah. I even bought the HG Strike Rouge for the IWSP pack. MAN!.....

Hmm, aren't the Ma-Ei-den robots really small? I remeber them as short, fat lil robots...

1/144HG Slaughte Dagger is out!

Yep, they were in the SD kind. I have plenty of that too myself ;)

But the small ones inspired a new series of models (like Gundam MSV), and an extended line was created for the production of non-SD/porportional kits. Thus, there they are.

- Tak

Don't you hate it when you don't see these cool suits in the main production, only to be introduced on a side-story prequel?

- Tak

Well, there are ordinary 105 Daggers in Destiny, at least seven of them were at Heaven's Base and at least two were using Sword packs and two were using Launcher packs.

I really don't like the proportions of the HG Aile pack. It looks deformed.. the MG and PG version looks much better. I like the Slaughter Dagger, but I'll avoid it because of this.

Whoa, thanks for the links. Saviour looks pretty good.. looks like BeeCraft is involved again. From what I can tell, it has MG proportions.

And what the hell? Gold Frame got another upgrade. :twitch: And the model kit only came out recently.. it looks like it has a beam shield now.

Wow. Crossbone Gundam is so amazing. Does it came with a stand? Too bad no cloaks for him

What's the name of that series anyway? I can't find it on anidb...:confused:

Seems that BEE-CRAFT will be having a say in the 1/100 kits now, since they did the MG Strike and such too. Not to mention, they do a better job at improving the proportions, compared to following the original Okawara designs. Compare the 1/100 Justice and the 1/100 I-Justice, and there will be a lot of differences proportions-wise.

It is an extended line of model kits not related to the main story (the non-SD porportional ones). Like MSV. It doesn't have a serie by itself. Its still within the Ma-Ei-Den universe, but not directly related.

Oh, speaking of models, I recently purchased

- Tak (I not have no space to put my kits!)

that crossbone is one mean piece of sexsay. (Ver.Ka is teh pwn, just gonna have to wait for its eventual recolors (X-3 XD))

I just hope it doesnt have construction horrors like that of the MG F91...

and what of that gold frame? is that gonne a be a completely new 1/100 kit?

That MSV section in which the new Gold Frame is in are usually designs for MSV, but not necessarily for model kits. Some made it as kits (like the IWSP), but most of them dont. If they dont release Red frame with Mars Jacket / Orb Flight Pack, I doubt we'll bee seeing that new Gold frame upgrade as regular 1/100 release. It looks nifty tho =x

I have nothing against Beecraft, but I don't like how they really change the proportions in some cases. For example, on the I-Justice, the oversized the beam boomerang on the shield and the beam cannons on the backpack. Just.. waaaay too big.
