Huh? SF has 13 guns, IIRC.

Unless you mean including the two Baleana Plasma Cannons that the stock Freedom Gundam had in its wings, to add on Strike Freedom itself to total 15 guns on SF, then that would've been cool, but I've never seen any kitbash like that before.

MG Hi-ν Gundam
Sometime next Spring, Bandai will release MG Hi-ν Gundam. Instead of Hajime Katoki, Yutaka Izubuchi will be behind this MG release.

In a related note MG wise, Mg Crossbone X-1 Kai Full Cross will come out on Jan. It will come with peacock smasher and murasame blaster weapons.

So, the MG Nu gundam really did need a Ver 2, and I guess this will do. Although, I like the old one, but it didn't have rotatable legs :(

Well, hopefully this one will have rotatable legs. That said maybe some time when ipod encoding becomes nice to me I show you all nice picture of my interesting big collection of Gunpla, ja? :)

I wonder what color scheme Bandai will choose to use for the Hi-Nu?

Holy Crap.

By the looks of it they will go for the purplish/bluish colour scheme.

SEEDlings. Perish all thoughts about getting the MG Strike Freedom

Eat your heartout at the MG Hi-Nu. The original idea behind the SF.

Wow, I've been waiting forever for a MG Hi-Nu... :D However the lineart looks quite different from all the usual Hi-Nu pictures I've seen. It's going to be pretty interesting to see how it turns out with the Yutaka Izubuchi instead of Katoki behind this release.

And the next MG is a Crossbone recolor right? :( Was sort of hoping for a MG Destiny. But with the MG Hi-Nu coming out in the spring, that kills my theory that it was supposed to be the 100th MG that comes out in the summer. Ah speculations, speculations.. :heh:

What are hi nus orgianl colors? blue and white right?

Alrite! they just planned a Strike Freedom-beater! :heh:

and when you have a Hi-Nu, you gotta have a Nightengale!

:mad:

What? A mass production Hi-Nu? Should it be called Thin-Nu?

Damn for ppl who dont paint the shades on the funnels will be a bitch.

Aw, what a shame. Some people don't/can't paint. Stickers for the simple :heh: :heh:

Oh, please have metal parts for key limbs :uhoh:

HUZZAH!!!!!!!

Best Gunpla news evar! :love:

If you are wondering why the redesign of the Hi-Nu, Bandai got the original Mech Designer, Yutaka Izubuchi to do the Model Design. He went on to create RahXephon later and I can see shades of RahXephon on the MG Kit with the slender body, the pull up Fin Funnel rack and the enlarge Goatee.

It's not too bad, considering how the Hi-Nu used to look in the novel illustration :-

Someone posted a comparison picture over at Gamefaqs, and I don't like what I see...

Damn, this isn't looking good. :eyebrow: I can definitely understand why some people aren't too pleased with this lineart.

Seriously, it had been 15 years since the release of CCA, of course Izubuchi is going to change his style for better or worse. Seeing that RahXephon is where he last design mechs, it going to influence his design on the model.

Like, time to give it a major update for the new generation >.> .

I dunno, the new lineart is cute.

"cute" is not what you want to describe the Hi-Nu.

Its a long time til the prototypes/model shows up, so theres still room for change

Is that what they thought about the Freedom Gundam? :heh: :heh:

And, I'm glad to let you all I finally found time to post the only recent picture I can of my Gundam Collection. You can view it and read some interesting facts on my blog, link in sig. Enjoy :)
