HGUC Geara Doga

A pic from the latest Bandai Hobby Sales Manual circulating around confirms an HGUC Geara Doga for November at a price of 1,800 yen. Anime snapshots shown indicate the uncolored prototype will be the mass-production green color and it'll come with standard and commander-type heads.

Sorry, what did you say ? Can't hear you from up here.

Lol. The B-3 never seen large scale production and was only assigned to a number of Ace Pilots, so it cannot be refer to being a lowly Grunt suit.

The HG / HGUC line seems to be going the MG treatment of having optional interchangable heads, which is at least better than the old method of shipping a different head in another kit...

With that aspect comes a price of footing out a wee bit for the entire kit.

I've noticed that the Geara kit does not comes with the alternative design for the Beam Machine Gun. Perhaps Bandai is reserving that for a future release of the alternate coloured Schnyder's Geara.

First look at the coloured MG IJ :-

00 is getting a BB senshi kit so soon? Looking forward to it!

I know that. The point is, Geara Dogas aren't that great.

LOL. Even the BB version has the shield!

I just love the design for it down-to-earth simplicity featuring no over the top weaponaries (huge guns, big swords, etc) but just enough fire powers to get their job done.

They're like Zakus, only sleeker.

And they have those cool grenades on their shields.

MG IJ looks great, much more proportional than its 1/100 counterpart. The kick angle seems awkward though. TBH, Gundams were never meant to pull off the kicks IJ did in Destiny :heh:

Well, I remember Kamille performing the comet kick in Zeta the movie and it was just so natural :] It happens that each time I see a Gundam performing a kick, like Mk-II or IJ, it is so damn well animated... So kinda cool. I am already prepared for the event and I am saving my HG Destiny for the upcoming IJ. Then I can detach the arms like in the series etc. without even touching my precious Destiny MG :D

so we can finally get IJ kicking Destiny's ass literally... awesome!

That brings up a good question. What are the rest of you guys gonna do with your 1/100s if you buy the MG version (i.e. upcoming Infinite Justice should you DO buy it)? Keep yours around, or make 'em the damaged versions like Sir Dearka's gonna do (which is actually a good idea)?
