So April's Fool to those who took the bait.

=)

So Bandai is doing MG 00 series again afterall... Exia R2 here we come!!!

yeah, it was too good to be true^^ i figured there was something fishy going on with that.
see the post above. its a rather obvious april fools joke XD

:mad:

/me is not amused

(and then the MG Exia R2 comes out and everyone shits their pants...rofl rofl :p)

why do you want an R2 so badly, anyway? i mean, we already got a MG exia that at least looks awesome (and as far as i know you have at least two versions of it already) and the differences between the two are so small it doesnt really make me care.

trolling is back once again....

imo i wld prefer the so call announcement of Harute (with booster) than Exia R2

same. a harute would be amazing^^ and it would be a pretty big model as well! the HG is already pretty massive! :O

If they did make an MG Harute, it must have the opening face. :cool:

I really thought nike wouldn't fall for it, to add that Appel and Butagami have already mentioned that it's fake. But hey, he still did. Now I'm happy, Happy April Fools! Oh by the way, it's already April 1 in our country, that's why.

I specifically searched for a prototype of MG Exia R2 or a modded kit at least, but can't find any besides of course the MG Exia R2 that has already been posted here.

Any links for that posted photo? Though it would only be scheduled for release after 00's final boss.

That is fake

I think he's aware of that. It's for you know who

As much as I understand from the box art photo , there's no images on the (actual) MG O Gudam images

Looks a little too fake...

And a "secret" unveiled imagine from imageshake? ROFL

FAIL!

the MG Harute is a kind April Fool...

also proto-cg images are well done, like the old lineart of Ahead MG...


and just for sharing pretty crap photo about my last MG:
Crossbone Full Cloth

in the middle of strike noir(my favourite for now) and Wing Zero Custom...

and yesterday i started to detail Infinite Justice.. ;)

(both buyed on Xmass... too busy... >_> )

Any pics of your Strike Noir and Wing Zero?

hm.. i dun really follow crossbone gundam so i'm not entirely sure.. what's that center part that drops from the torso and is holding the beam sword? looks like the seravee with some many wielded weapons. :)

You guys have probably seen this on GG, but... Holy crap it's awesome. Due to its resemblence to the AGE-1 Phoenix, I'm hoping it's to appear in the AGE manga so that we at least have a chance of seeing it in model kit form, but it's probably just some fanart. Holy shit.

My goodness, is it confirmed not to be an April Fool's joke?

Damn, now that is how you do a variant.

Saw it here first -> http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...22#post4085722

The Wing mode do look awesome. It would probably require alot of HG Qanta's just to mod one.

I'm pretty sure that image has a 99% chance of being Pixiv mecha fanart, given its general design and theme (its transformation is very reminescent of the Gundam Beast's style for one). I wouldn't call it an April Fool's joke, just a very good looking fanart.

Not to mention it breaks the usual manner in which new mecha designs from the show are revealed: we'd have seen it in hobby magazines if it was real. It reminds me of that "Seraphim 2" image that people thought was real and official, despite all the signs pointing that it wasn't. Only this time, the image is even more obvious about its origins.

In the first place, what is the source of that particular image anyway?

It'd be a shame if it does turn out to be fake. It's a very good design, no flaws whatsoever.

I for one don’t mind if it is a fake. Yes, all the knifes & daggers are cool, but the knife-wielding-toes does not. It’s ridiculous even for a super-robot series, let alone a real-robot series. It’d be a lot less ridiculous if the designer just mount the knifes directly onto its feet like Chaos Gundam. That knife-wielding-toes rivals the “Nataku-destroying-MSs-with-just-a-burst-from-a-flamethrower” and "the-Knightmares'-ability-to-slide-freely-on-different-terrains-with-only-a-pair-of-wheels (in Code Geass)" for silliness.

i agree. it looks pretty cool when its transformed but other than that it just goes too far overboard for me.

So MG Spallow's niche is that it has MORE set of swappable manipulators. The effect looks cool, now he looks more ninja-ish.

I would've laughed for real if the blade was a sticker yet again. :heh:

Of all the MG Age-1 MGs, I think it has the least plastic so I think they wouldn't have made it that cheap.

Yet Bandai didn't provide little ABS needles for the needle guns.

MG 1/100 AGE-1S Gundam AGE-1 Spallow - Dengeki Hobby (May Issue)


(Release Date: Apr. 26th 2012, Price: 3500 yen)

* Shigeru Blade has a clear piece and not a sticker. =D

I always thought the spallow was an awesome design but that one dinky knife as only weapon felt silly.

Mk. II boxarts...

I thought Bandai would just change the colors for the boxes. Unexpectedly for a RG (and after building the Skygrasper tiny parts), that "headphone" camera is a foil sticker.

A better gallery at GG -> http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2012/0...ew-images.html

is a 1st RG box for them showing with Shield mounted also

Of course they wouldn't change the boxart that much.

1. Costs more money for them.
2. The 2 mecha are the same, with slight variations here and there as well as a palette swap.

Now if they did a MG Exia R2, I wouldn't be surprised to see similar parts, boxart, etc reused. If we got a RG Exia, I would be surprised to see them reuse the same pose. I mean it'd be a new line.

Checking my boxes...you're right.:D Most likely to balance the differentiating weapons for the dual release.

the RG boxes all have the same basic design anyway. there is no reason for them to change it now^^

1. designing the box doesnt cost $$$. is printing. get your facts right

They are standardizing the RG boxart to be similar except RG Skygrasper

So one comes with the bazooka and the other with the rifle?

Or are they just mixing things up with the boxes?

both have beam rifle & bazooka. they are just differentiating the 2 sides with the same model

I was about to say that but it I make sighs instead (too disappointed to even mention it) But well, it looks good, at least.

Standardizing the boxart is actually what I want and I hope it'll continue for the rest :)

I figured so, but for a second I suspected they might go the HG Unicorn route by giving different accessories so people buy both. Not that it would've worked, but still. :heh::eyespin:
