Lack of articulation with recent Mg's?????
Haven't noticed that one, I started to build MG AGE-1 Normal a few days ago so if i have these issues i'll mention them, but what i've seen on pictures with dalong, all have great to superb articulation. It's not like we are back in the days of the early MG's. Recent Mg's are more articulation then the old benchmark MG Strike so it will be good.

As for the inner frame: "frankly my dear, i don't give a damn"
it's a nice gimmick but how manny of you actually build a MG to display the inner frame???? I never take of the armor parts again once a MG is completely finished and put in a glass display.

Honestly, i dunno. I do keep my shelf-diving bastard of a force impulse with the innerframe fully exposed next to my non-shelfdiving fully built force impulse, so many pieces of the frame was damaged on the first one that i bought a new one and salvaged it for pretty much all its worth, minus the inner frame.

... so i guess detailed inner frames do have some use? ;)

If anything, the Gundam kits of recent years (in fact, almost anything made in the 2000s) has insane articulation compared to say an action figure. In fact, articulation is one of the main reasons why I like Gundam kits. Sure, it may come at the expense of having to spend the extra effort building your figure, and also the possibility of loose joints/parts, but articulation is one feature of a Gundam model kit I do NOT expect to be complaining about, and definitely will not.

EDIT: HGUC Banshee Norn. Looks cool but I'll wait for Destroy mode.

When it has that shield on its back that seriously reminds me of a shark.

I might just buy its destroy mode if it comes with the hyper bazooka :)

Perfect excuse for me to get another Banshee set and paint the Psychoframe green rofl, then ill have 4 awesome banshee kits on my shelf

Oh yeah I want a jegan now, the thumbs down it did in the promo vid was priceless

Bandai, plz make a normal Jegan Type D (or whatever the model number is that appears in UC) with a thumbs down hand, I would pay for that

care to ask... how many layers of top coat did apply to your Sinanju to get that super matte finish?? :confused:

i always do a first layer of gloss to protect the waterslides, and then i do the rest of the layers in matte, but even after one or two i can´t get that kind of finish....

Thnak you... ;)

Unlike the previous HG Banshee Unimod, the HG Unimod of Banshee Norn looks menacing because it actually has functional weapons.

The question now is: will the Banshee Norn Desmod’s frame be green or yellow?

Yes, I do use gloss to protect the waterslides as well. Then a layer of matte. usually, it's two coats, but the last coat is just a touch up for areas that haven't gotten proper coating.

I think the problem lies on the brand. I use Tamiya's TS-80, how about you?

DAT TALLGEESE! So simple! So efficient! Great articulation! Dat Kneeling pose! Just like in the anime!

Im definitely going to wait for a MG Tallgeese III now

Can't agree more! That's PRE-ORDERED :D

http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/0...ailblazer.html

Looks like Bandai is stirring up Gundam 00 again. =D

http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/0...tom-build.html

Damn it, GG..LOL I thought a MG Wing Gundam (TV) was really coming..LOL

That Coversion kit has been around for a long time now.

Really good, but given it uses the Wing Zero EW as the bsae and how stylized it's wing's and shoulders are you can barely even say it's the TV version.

Granted I love it, but I love it for many reasons that every TV fan would hate the thing.

Tallgeese is awesome. I'm really a fan of those...well, what can you call them...thruster-pod-wing-things-on-its-back? Yeah that covers it. I should buy it to go with my Wing, but right now I'm a little tight on money (not to mention I still have my backlog to keep me occupied)

Probably yellow. Regular Unicorn seems to retain its red frame colour, going by the episode 6 trailer. I prefer the yellow on Banshee as well, IMO the green looks horrible on it.

@loon1688:
Great poses and crystal clear pictures always makes your photos a joy to watch :). Nice RG Zeta and nicely colored pilot you got there.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of the green-framed Banshee too, but I also think that some variation would be nice. In short, I'm torn between preferring yellow or green on Norn :heh:.

@loon1688

NICE! Makes me want to do my RG Strike Rouge already

@nike

BTW! May I add something to your list? Since you have trans-am version of Exia and 00-Raiser, don't you want MG Qan[T] Trans-am, MG Qan[T] Quantum Burst version, MG Qan[T] /w Full Saber Trans-am, MG Qan[T] Quantum Burst version and MG 00 7/S G Inspection colors?




Shield, rifle and bazooka left. I still have to buy gattling guns XD

Wow, this comparison picture of a painted Rozen Zulu next to the out of the box Rozen Zulu really highlights how badly Bandai did on this kit. It also shows just how good looking the Rozen Zulu is.

One could argue that this is a model kit and not a toy. If you aren't happy with the looks you can always paint it. The HG Delta Plus doesn't have anime accurate colors as well for example. It's a lot darker than the MG.
However, I really don't understand why they used a brown-ish color instead of purple for the Rozen Zulu... That part I can understand, there is a difference between a different shade of the original color and using a different color all together. In that regard the Rozen does look pretty bad. But still, you can always just paint it yourself. And in this case it really isn't difficult.

We could just paint the MG 00 SS/G to get the inspection colours :heh:

That looks beastly: nicely done! Do you feel that the MG Sinanju feels more like a Perfect Grade than a Master Grade in all but name and size?

Since I have built the MG Sinanju as well... No, I don't think so. While it is one of the most amazing kits that I have ever built it still isn't nearly as complex as or detailed as my PG Astray Red Frame.
From what I have seen so far the new MG Nu Ver.Ka seems to be a LOT closer to being a 1/100 scale Perfect Grade. Especially when you look at the legs and it's hands. The manipulators are essentially the same as a PG.

Nope. I agree with what Appel said. Nu Gundam ver KA is closer to an MG. Maybe in terms of size, but complexity, I don't think so.

Just as I decided to hold off buying that for next month. Arrggghhh!!! :heh:

Nice pics of RG Zeta you got there loon1688 :)

Fair enough. That said, I've never built a model with quite so much detail in the legs before (with respect to the MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka.). Compared to the previous MG Nu, it feels like the new one is on a completely different level ;)

Not everyone can paint (my rental home is far too small for airbrushing, and my hands are literally incapable of doing somthing like handpainting, for example). Part of the appeal of kits like Gunpla, is that they as a standard resemble the anime even without painting. Lego sets are a form of model kit, yet like Gunpla I wouldn't expect to have to paint them to get something to at least resemble what it is based upon.

Gunpla are not resin kits, they do not get nor should be given a pass on faulty colouring just because they can be painted.

I agree that Bandai really messed up with Rozen's color this time. And this comes from someone who is okay with HG Delta Plus' color :D. Even the color of the prototype Rozen kit they exhibited was already excellent. After that, fans can only expect perfection for the actual product, only to be sorely disappointed by that brownish-colored body. I wonder what they were smoking when they decided to use that kinda color :heh:.

I don't get the point of making Rozen Zulu's color to brown? Are they saving or something? Will it cost them less if they do that? It's an obvious mistake so why did they let that happen? Can someone enlighten me?

it's all downhill from now on with we make a paralel with hasbro's transformers line, once you start with brown it's all over, all models will have brown! :D

Thanks Bro.....

^ Do you think that any of the predictions made on the GToys Blog will come true?

MG Prometheus
MG Snow White
MG Warlock

What are those?

Also, surprised to see that GToys thinks we'll see the Gundam X series getting MG (X, X Divider and Double X).

But I would definitely love to see their 00 and Wing predictions to come out.

Funny. When i translated the page it had no 00, x, crossbone or age kits on their predictions and the only wing predictions that came up were tallgesse 2 and 3 and altron ew.

Is gtoys indicator of Bandai's release? I don't find it such a big deal, though correct me if I'm wrong.

Not too sure if GToys is an indicator or anything at all.
They just seem to be one of those blogs where they are really aware of how Bandai does business and probably goes by that.

His list now isn't as filtered as before since Bandai already announced to us MANY of the next MG releases. And I hope that Sazabi ver KA comes true.

Seeing as you have been listing so many Wing MGs you want u seriously do not know what those suits are? They're the Frozen Teardrop gundams, of which only Prometheus have been revealed

Hey how stable is the RG Zeta? Im debating between it and the HGUC (cheaper, proportions are still pretty good to this day, and it got the BFG of course lol)


On the topic of predictions, which are not that big a deal:

I think the highest possibilities are:

MG:
Wing kits (as noted in Bandais plan to continue the Wing line)
DESTINY kits (due to remaster, this includes stargazer kits maybe if they decide to capitalize on the bluray)
UC (obviously being the last year, 2 already confirmed, maybe a Rozen later on?)
Finish up AGE line
08th MS team 2.0s maybe? (or RG)

HG:
Finish up AGE line
Unicorn kits and variations as the episodes come along, definitely FA at some point
DESTINY "Remastered" HG kits, still going to be crap lol (except Destiny and Legend)
Zeta era UC kits as we have been seeing for the past few months

Thats about it, from a business perspective its obviously Bandais intent to capitalize on UC and Destiny while finishing up AGE, then probably picking up Wing to fill in after AGE is done

So..

Wing Gundam Zero (TV)
Wing Gundam Zero (EW) Remaster
Wing Gundam (EW) Remaster
Nataku
Heavyarms Kai EW
Sandrock Kai EW
Tallgeese II
Tallgeese III
Serpent Custom?
Vayate?
Mercurious?
Age-1 Gransa
Age-2 Double Bullet
Age-2 Special Forces
Age-3 Normal
Age-3 Orbital
Age-3 Fortress
Age-FX
Age-FX Burst

Those are probably the likely ones if we "finish up" the MG line of Age and Wing?

My wallet will empty out remarkably quickly if they release an MG Reborns and MG Exia R3. Heck, I personally would be inclined to believe that Sunrise may just skip on the R2 and release the parts for it with the R3, but that is pure speculation :heh:

Besides the two, FX and 3 Normal that's already been confirmed, I'm really doubtful that we will be seeing other MGs from Age.

Agreed! They can't cheap me out by the brown HGUC version. I don't have an airbrush and won't invest in such and I'm too lazy to handpaint (though that could be quite interesting to do AGAIN).

Just a random guess, MG Gebrera Tetra and MG Geymalk. This is more of wishlist actually being the latter almost impossible as it ain't available even in HG form.

If Bandai decides to make an HG 1/144 Blast Impulse, then chances of getting its MG will be high!
