HGUC 1/144 Revive Version Announced!
RX-78-2 Gundam Spoiler for :
Guncanon Spoiler for :
|
seem new RX-78-1 is actually based on Red warrior
|
The Exia parts reuse makes sense: MG Exia was NEVER designed with a Build Fighters variant in mind. Obviously, we'd get a lot of "sprue inefficiency" and having to include more old parts than they expected to.
|
I can understand redesigning (or in this case, "reviving") the old HGUC Guncannon, but do we really need another RX-78-2 after HGUC G30th, RG & MG 3.0? They should've spent that effort making new HGUC of new MS that haven't got made or rebooting the likes of HGUC Mk-II, Hyaku Shiki, or Zeta.

Huh.... looking at the new HGUC Tryon 3 images above (:love: ), I just realized that its sword is made up of the eagle head and crab tail that are jettisoned during the combination process of the tree parts.

something tells me that Riku Tryon will have the articulation of a K9 Dog Pack, like it matters anyway since it combines, also the parts that were 'purged' according to the body layout screen during combination, which are Umi Tryon & Sora Tryon's formed the sword, sadly the V-fin still will be not accurate in all forms of grades as it magically forms through energy beams, like the Beginning Gundam's :heh:
The End now looks Vegan-ish in terms of design, its like a successor to the Gundam Legilis with more of their dragon themed appearance, though still blends well with the G Gundam theme like the Devil Gundam's Four Heavenly Kings. |
Welp, I'm sure packaging bad shots aren't exactly exciting to most of you, but since this is my first one (lol), I'm pretty hyped it got here safe and sound. Trips to Brazil are always dangerous, and outside of some minor damage to the cardboard it came in, the actual package is in pretty great condition!
Spoiler:
And now to start putting it together tomorrow, slowly, as slowly as one can, in order not to ruin anything, haha. Hopefully when I'm done I can share some slightly better shots just to see how poor a job I made for a first try. Alas, brb, ordering Justice. |
Has anyone here gotten the Amazing Lev A parts? I can't for the life of me figure out what the A-26 parts are for :confused:
|
Awww sweet the Hyaku Shiki comes with the Ballute system too
O fuck you bandai, WoL exclusive for the HGUC V2 Assault Buster? Fuck you What are the differences from the normal FC? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vgm4aG9pst...Untitled-7.jpg Hehhehehe cant wait http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fg4myoep4u...26485491_o.jpg Oooohhh I want a kit of this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cEnYiCGpdn...ntitled-56.jpg |

Actually, the skulls are energized boxing gloves. And yes, the MG can do it too, maybe even better. The problem with the HGUC image above is that it seems the skulls lack the ability (or someone forgot) to fold the fangs inward to wrap the arm properly, making it look like a half-ass set of claws. |
Oh no wait I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING.
This is the GBFT version, which comes with everythign standard. the HGUC version will include the Scissor Anchors, Screw Whips and other stuff that came out with the P-Bandai exclusive Crossbone. And Like the P-Bandai version a proper HGUC Crossbone Gundam Kai Kai Full Cloth will be a P-Bandai exclusive. DEVIOUS!!! |
Wow....loving the new Gundam Try designs...if only they'll do MGs for some of those suits...

To be honest I think the only difference with that Crossbone is that its a bit "purple-ish" in the show. I just assume it has some crazy build quality that Lucas gave it. OR it still has some gimmicks that the magazines don't wanna reveal yet?
|
Alightt, dumbest question! I finally put the RG Freedom together, although I'm still going to disassemble the parts and panel line it a bit and what not. Still, I'd like to get it standing on the Action Base 2 to take a couple pictures before, and somehow this has been the one thing that I can't figure out from the little manual, lol.
There are like 4 different pieces on the base itself to attach to the top, but I have absolutely no clue which one's supposed to be used for the RG Freedom. That and are there any extra pieces I should attack to the Freedom itself? Tricky things! lol. Anyhow, I'm glad that I didn't break anything, so for a first gunpla ever that's already something, hahaha. |

Your kit comes with a custom action base connector, take the Base2 as you built it, then plug in/slide on the custom part into the square peg? part on top, then make sure you screws are tight enough (not too tight!) http://dalong.net/review/rg/rg05/p/rg05_m0015.JPG |
Ooooh, I see. Somehow I didn't see that, go figure lol. Thanks for the heads-up!
|
The next hguc revive series should be zeta, hyaku shiki and mk-II. Zeta could use the same mold as lightning gundam
|
I think I'm done! For now, at least, hahaha. Really liked putting this little fellow together, and for a first build ever I'm rather happy about the results, although I'm sure the second one I build will turn out better. Especially since I really ought to buy a proper cutter, the plier/diagonal cutter thing I had was too big, and sometimes it was a real pain to cut off some of the smaller parts from the runners. Unfortunately though, I can't seem to get him to hold any of the weapons properly, to the point where I gave up and ended up having him strike a pose without the saber and/or beam rifle. Those little pegs seem very, very finnicky on the hands, and it was always kind of loose lol.
Anyhow, I'll see if I can build a Justice next! To get the little pair. And then I'll probably go backwards and get a HG Unicorn Destroy Mode, lol. RIP my paychecks. Spoiler for Freeedom!:
Also, might as well ask -- can you guys give me any recomendations for a cutter? If it's on amazon.co.jp, then even better. Also looking for something not too awfully expensive for now, mainly because I want to order it alongisde the Justice and if somehow it ends up being over a certain value the always cool Brazilian customs will tax me lol. |

As for side-cutters, Im not sure whats on the japanese amazon, also, what price range are you looking for (if you could approximate to USD that would be great for me)? Im actually on the market for new cutters as well, so far my works have been completed using a ModelMasters side cutter, which retails in the US for around $15 at the time I got it. Served me many years, even after the edges became slightly misaligned (still cut great, I just finished off the rest with knife or sanding sticks/filing tools). Ive also used a $7 or so side cutter, which brand name I forgot, at any rate it gets the job done, though it does take more force to cut. I use this one for the thick sprues/nubs since it can take a better beating I currently have a Tamiya side cutter on the way. It comes in whats called a Tamiya Basic Tool Set? Cost me $16 USD and is currently en-route to me from Japan. Comes with a Side cutter, files, knife, and screwdrivers. Ill report on how that turns out after it arrives |

Kitbashing? I don't get it |
Kitbashing and an awful paintjob. I imagine the paintjob is what's offending people with the design.

Ouch Anyways guess what other gunpla were getting? Yeah, Japan is set to take over the world with these things lol (each sold separately with a little clear stand in the color of the kit included) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zExPE35RXh...62318406a2.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ln4W4baAPX...Untitled-3.jpg |

Speaking of kitbashes, so far I've been toying around with my kits. Got this nifty little combination: Mega Shiki's upper body + Delta Kai's lower body, Mega Shiki's MegaRider's wings replaced with Delta Kai's funnels.
Of course, I would repaint the whole thing if I ever got around to it. |

As someone who got an HG V2 last year, I know exactly how you feel. :eyespin: |
so has anyone heard of this legendary old late 90's V or V2 Gundam 1/144 scale kit that is somehow transformable, well with some parts forming or swapping, complete with a functional core fighter with a clear cockpit canopy which you have to manually replace parts for it to dock, to boot it has a complete inner skeleton that is either ABS plastic or something if you remove the outer shell that you may display it in its 'naked form' as shown on the box, it comes with this clear plastic display base that looks fragile & will break at any moment complete with a photo realistic picture of the battle scene from the anime with the V Gundam flying in the back ground that you can attach to the display base as a diorama, the best part is you could store the rifle on the hip armor, still can't remember where the beam sabers go though,
well i sort of seen it when i was like ten or something? belonging to someone i used to know, i' m not sure what the heck was that version even called, i think it puts the recent HG versions to shame & like a being a cheaper alternative to an RG or MG altogether, i only remember its roughly the same 1/144 scale as the HG V Gundams as i hold it in my hands considering i was ten back then when my hands were smaller, well what is it? also glow in the dark SD Gundams that could shoot marbles, screw B-Daman!! Bandai does better than those Takara pea shooters!!! :heh: |

The older 1/144 Victory kits came with a sparate Core Fighter, just like the current HG Victory kits, but themselves were not transformable. ABS plastic wasn't much used in Bandai kits until early or mid-2000's. The only possibility was that someone may have made a resin kit of a Victory Gundam Top and Bottom parts in 1/144 scale, but I doubt a fully-transformable kit in that size was even possible back then. 1/100 maybe, but the Victory/F91/Crossbone Mobile Suits in 1/144 are tiny--just a head or two taller than a Star Wars/Microman/G.I.Joe figure. And given the WAY the Victory Gundam transforms...not a lot of space for it, no. |
do you think I can get P bandai stuff in random shop in akihabara?
wondering if I can get Tallgeese 3 will I am visiting japan |
