can we be sure that it will be at least 70% transformable, not 70% parts-formable like the original HG ZZ? :heh:

Given the scale I would say the latter lol



But a MG @_@...........I would buy without hesitation

Wow, they're not kidding.

What do they mean by 1/144, anyway? Is it going to be a remold of the HGUC ZZ? Or is it literally 1/144 as in the show, meaning it's going to be MG/PG sized?

The Trion 3 isn't actually any bigger than any other Mobile Suit as mentioned in the episode, so it's 1/144 scale aka the same size as other gunpla. So the Trion 3 is likely to be based off the mold of the HGUC ZZ Gundam.

Really? I was under the impression that it was MA sized. Thanks for the clarification. Regardless, it's gonna be one heck of a kit. :heh:

Be careful with what you wish for. Next thing we know, Bandai will do a quick cashgrab by re-using the old MG ZZ mold for Trion without any significant improvements. That will certainly suck balls if happen coz the kit will be a brick with cheap shoulder connections and sad articulation and can only stand on the shelf doing almost-zero poses :uhoh:

But given the way it transforms though I dont think its possible to reuse the old MG ZZ,

They probably have to design it from the ground up

That fan book gets a 10/10 from me for sheer awesomeness and WTFness.

The funny thing is, it looks like its 1/60 size due to the camera angles.

Never got that impression from the camera angles. The one time we see the Tryon 3 in comparison to another gunpla was when it performed its final attack against the Calamity, and we see that it isn't actually any bigger.

It's nice to finally see the 1/144 form of winning. Not too fond of it keeping the large V-fin though

Hehehehe cant wait

EDIT: not sure why quoted is not coming out right, tried to just quote the star winning pic, owell

Actually, the transformation is not that different. Umi Tryon is the Core Top (without Neo Core Fighter & Double Beam Rifle), Sora Tryon is the Core Base (without Neo Core Fighter and the big missile/booster backpack). The only brand new thing is that lion/tiger-part that pretty much covers the chest & back. If Bandai is a truly greedy cheap-bastard, I can see them reusing the old mold with slight animal-modifs and the Riku Tryon being the only genuine new part. But like you said, I hope it doesn't happen and they will make a completely new mold. MG ZZ 2.0 is long overdue anyway.

scrolling through some BB Senshi, i just realized that there was an SD Gundam capable turning into Real mode that predates the Star Winning, still not sure its proportions is sleek looking as Fumina's own version considering the engineering during that time, it looks bulky to me.

EDIT: i have a complaint, is it common that the HGUC GP02's hands are prone to have the thumb peg easily breaking off when you tried to have it hold the shield, with or without the Atomic bazooka stored in it? well it also happened to mine as i displayed it holding the shield, not even a single person ever touched that thing that is inside a display case & two months later the shield fell off on its own & the damage cannot be undone, while in a static pose to boot while the bottom part of the shield is supported by one of its legs,

so any recommendations on how to replace the hands? with the correct wrist ball joint size to fit perfectly? like the HD Builders parts federation MS hands? also i think the combination of the damn heavy shield & poorly designed handle is to blame for this........

Well I have a problem, my Tamiya file managed to develop a good bit of rust on it. I'm going to have to try and use WD-40 to clean it and see if it's salvageable T_T

And just after I ordered a Stark Jegan to work on as my birthday project too T_T

And the stores are all out of stock, there's nowhere for my to buy files T_T

Glorious, can't wait for this baby



And anyone curious why we have not seen any pictures of the Star Winning's Real Mode in gunpla form? Im actually hoping it gets a separate HG kit to look and pose better

I don't think Star Winning Real mode will have nearly as much posability or detail as a true HG, but we'll have to see.
