I have a Throne Eins and Arche Gundam and they're pretty awesome kits cause you don't get that kind of design anywhere
There's also the docking of weapons for the Thrones which was a nice gimmick. However, the leg ankles kinda get loose over time and it does have a wee bit share of stickers. Nonetheless, the big guns and swords along with that slender long limbs would give a fresh building experience. |
My only grief with Arche is Char color, otherwise it's nice addition.
(Yes I dislike semi-pink, and I can't paint major part worth half shit) |

I got Throne Eins and Zwei and I really like em.
Personally they are some of my more favorite designs from 00 (plus you can't go wrong with big ass shoulder cannon:D) Only concerns I can think of are what Aurelis pointed out but imo all part and parcel of the experience of building these kits. They aren't perfect but generally far from being bad. |
The Thrones have that unique base design, they could probably make a different series altogether with their suits alone.
Well, that's how I feel about them personally. |
Yeah, overall I like Thrones as well

To be fair, this is a backwater town, having one that sell gundam already a miracle. I think Wing Zero EW sounds legit, maybe Alex too. Then I'll decide between... whatever in 00 line. |
Regarding the Throne Gundams, I have all of them in HG. I love them, sure they need stickers and maybe some paint, but they are still good kits!

But you should really get them all since they're cheap. SD Exia SD 00 Raiser SD 00 Qan[t] SD 00 Raiser 7 Sword/G SD Exia Repair 2 SD 0 Gundam (Type ACD) They're all really good. I recently got them (again), and I'm just trying to find some time to build them, but take my time. Or, the SD Shining and SD God are great SDs too, and I also just got them (again). =D |

Suiton, how about you build a ton of kits or watch a ton of reviews before commenting? You probably just made up the statement that the HG Thrones are "crap"
They're EXCELLENT kits, their only downside being requiring more paint and patience than normal, both which are minor cons which can be easily overcome (and in the case of Arche the overall color is a bit off) Otherwise their detail, poseability, gimmicks, and accessories are top notch. As a bonus they're also extremely easy to kitbash together And as others stated on here, their overall design and looks are extremely cool and unique, as such they are quite fun to build Eins was my first HG kit ever, and I do not regret my decision of buying it at all On the topic of the Thrones....which do you guys think is better? Im on the fence about this: Get HG Arche alone to fight my HG Cherudim Or buy the other two Throne Units for epic Trinity Team Display? Or perhaps just get them all for even more epic display? (this might be too much though in terms of what space I have currently.......) |
I have seen and read reviews about the Thrones HGs, and they were not that good.
|
@skye629: If space is an issue, I would get the Arche^^. But I really want to say: Get them all xD

Would this be a good start for HG 00's? |
Thats the start and end of HG 00 kits.
You've already asked this redundant question as well as say multiple times that MGs are superior and HGs are not worth it. Stop trying to waste our time with you pointless pondering. Make up your own damn mind, we dont care what you do. |

Gonna do some re-arranging of my shelf, hopefully to accomodate more kits. While the 3.0 is still well on his way, I figured I should get more UC kits. Probably some grunt units...
Any suggestions? Jegans? GMs? |

You can check there. Which UC series do you collect? If it's Unicorn..

@ StratoSpear hg or mg?
if is a MG with a good price, I would chose Nemo. (I´m a feddy guy) I don't have it so I don't know how good it is, but I love the inner frame detail and the articulation is good enough to please me. |

Neo-Zeon unit or Zanscare grunts are cool, if you're not into feddies. |

Zanspine is the only unit I'm familiar with (it's non-canon), Zanscare and their freaky design is good, but the colorings are horrible. Neo Zeon unit though.... they're awesome. Even the Gearas are bling. |
My apologies for not narrowing it down. I'm looking for HGUCs ^^
|
If you want simple and practical looking, Zaku or GM lineage, they're also often cheaper.
If you want bling and overengineering, basically most of Neo Zeon Grunt, they're kind of expensive. Can't compete with this one monster though. Oh, and don't forget the Titans, Messala is the worst offender. |
I'm not much of a grunt collector but the ones I have built are:
- Powered GM - Rezel Type-C [GR] Man, that's a pathetic list, but anyway, for the Powered GM, it was an alright build. Straight forward and simple, it is a no fuss kit with some nice features like the rotable wrist and my favourite, that Bullpup machine gun. As for the Rezel, it's an overwhelming grunt unit. Despite it's mediocre showing in the movie, the kit is large. I swore it towers over most of my Gundams. In fact, just the backpack alone felt like an entire unit on its own. It's one of the few kits that really look good in waverider form too. The only gripe I have about it is the long seamlines, on the guns and the limbs. Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) I myself am starting to feel the love for grunt units but since I've not done my Zaku and GM Sniper, I can't give an honest opinion about it. I gotta say that the recent variations of the Zaku II looks to be quite a nice addition to the HG lines. But of course, the best grunt 1/144 model kit is the RG Zaku II :heh: |
That makes me wonder
Can you use Amazing Booster on RG Zaku II? |
Quote:
I suggest these: Federation: - The GM line and its spin off variations like the Nemo, take your pick based on preference, there's many to choose from - Jegans - ReZEL's, IMO the best HGUC transforming grunt to date Zeon and its other incarnations: - Zaku, same as GM, so many to choose from - Everything else No, Im serious, all the Zeon HGUC grunt kits are great, just take your pick based on what you like I will note though that you should only get the grunt Sleeve units if you are fine with the Sleeve stickers, or are willing/planning to do something about it |
I was wondering, this forum, I've seen Gundam fans, Zeon followers, grunt lovers but is there anyone out there who went out to purchase and build the following kits:
- Type 89 Base Jabber - Base Jabber [Unicorn Ver] - Zaku Mariner - Zee Zulu - Zock Now, the Base Jabbers speak for itself, it looks like a nice addition but so far personally, I've not felt a single drop of want for it. Unlike the Type 94 for Unicorn but that was a P Bandai Exclusive. The Ball and Lotto has their own appeal in this regard. For the Zaku Mariner and Zee Zulu, it's the funky aquatic design which feels really weird, that it makes me wonder if there's any fans out there for these units. And lastly, Zock, that big ass kit which actually looks loveable but did anyone actually buy it? I felt almost, very barely, the same way for the Re-GZ. |
Quote:
Lotto and Ball are pretty funky units, their presence can be used as complement or stand alone kits. And despite being tiny, they're fairly complex model, which can be seen from their pricetag. (1300-1600 yen for two unit, compare to much larger but simpler kits like GM, Gyan, or Guncannon which is within 700-800 yen pricetag) Base Jabber on the other hand... well it's only works as complement, but nothing else. If you have money for it, sure why not, but there's little reason of getting them other than glorified accessories for existing unit. Even Flying Armor and G-Defenser had more standalone value than Base Jabber. |

So far my favorite grunts are the Zulus, gotta love their sleeve parts. So far I have the Geara Zulu, Guards type and Angelo Sauper's custom, I still don't have the Zee Zulu though:
Spoiler:
Also I suggest HGUC Kampfer, I still don't have it though but I was tempted to get one. |

The Byarlant Custom isn't a grunt but it is a wonderful build and looks pretty good too. |
