So anybody here personally owns PG 00 Raiser?Care to share some experience and thoughts about it?

The box is huge :heh:

I won't be able to say more before Saturday/Sunday

a quick question about hg 1/144 cherudim gnhw...can I still place the shield bit on its "tail" and place its rifle (not rifle bit) in his right shoulder?? checked dalong and seems like they change the plug on cherudim's rear so that rifle bit can be stored on the "tail"

thx in advance

On the same subject, does the GNHW Seravee come with the complete Seraphim (i.e transformable), or does evil Bandai want us to buy the separate Seraphim or the 1/100 scale Seravee?

Well, according to this, the kit comes with the Armed Seraphim.

Nope, it doesn't. It just comes with the Face Burst backpack and parts for you to swap onto Seraphim to equipt the additional HWs.

the gnhw comes with all the parts of the normal cherudim and with an extra runner for the rifle bits and some connector parts. so to have the rifle on its right shoulder, you'll just need to remove the extra connector and you'll see the same peg as before. and to have the shield bits on its tail, just remove the two extra connector pieces there.

the cherudim gnhw is really just extra pieces on the original...no replacement parts. :(

Thanks pumphkins for the info!!!...now I might go to buy hg cherudim gnhw as a christmas gift without worrying..but..damn it's quite expensive XD

Thanks for the info.


Bandai is evil!! :frustrated:

No prob. I just constructed it 2 days ago. ;)

I prefer normal Cherudim, IMO. The GNHW equipment all look pretty good in the show, but on the model kits, uh-uh.

i kinda find the normal cherudim a bit too skinny, the extra rifle bits helps to make up some bulk. :)

You should wait for the trans am Seravee and Seraphim. They come together in one pack for 2100 yen I think. Well around there, if youre looking to buy both.

Speaking of Trans-AM, why isn't there a Trans-AM version of Nadleeh and we even got a Trans-AM Dynames despite not going into that mode?

Perhaps the kit didnt sell well,or maybe they thought it was hard to replicate.Nadleeh's Trans-Am color is a bit weird,almost dark red black a bit.

Havign said that,that should not have stopped Bandai,perhaps maybe it didnt sell well.

Corrected. Yup, it's one of the most costly HG 1/144 kits ever.

I'll be heading to Japan next week, hopefully I can get hold of a PG 00 Raiser at a lower price, and maybe even with the clear parts.

Among the HG00 line perhaps. The GN Arms both go over 5000yen while the HGUC has Nu HWS at 2,900 yen and the recent Kshatriya at 4500 yen.

Best to hunt out the ideal places to get a good deal. Though prices are generally 30% lower or more at the retail price.

1. What's that thing on Gaddeath's Leg?

2. HG Masurao will be release on december when? Christmas day?

HG Masurao release in japan tommorrow

It's the optional boosters used by the GNZ mobile suits for long-distance travel. The Garazzo used them too when it first sortied against the Ptolemy in episode 10.

Looking at it reminds me of Strike Witches.
That's the leg booster.

Great job on the sniper.. Weapons look awesome i like the wire attachment from the rifle to the mask, brings a lot of character to the sniper. I always thought that the rifle was supposed to be attached to a power generator but change is always good to. Again sweet job on the sniper. Keep up the great work.

Any other projects that you are thinking of doing next?

nah, leg boosters has been in Gundam since the old U.C. series, the S-Gundam & Zeta Plus "Hummingbird" being the notable examples
& also in Gundam 00V, the Kyrios variation, the Kyrios Gust, also had large leg boosters

oh, wow, never thought it can do that. Now I wonder, how big actually damashii figure is? is it 1/144 or 1/100? :confused: Coz I never even see them in shop here. Only HCM.

Robot Damashii's are non-scale AFAIK, since they're slightly smaller than 1/144 HG's, but larger than the 1/220 HCM-Pro figures.

Wait,does it mean that RD doesnt have constant scale for all their figures?I would understand if it was between the cross series comparsion but what about models of the same series?Are there comparable with each other of having the same "scale"?Like if you were to compare 1/144 Exia and a 1/144 Dynames,they're roughly built on the same miniaturiasation of the supposed real thing,and are comparable.Does the same apply to,for example RD 00 and RD Ragnant?

It varies from time to time in the Robot Damashii line. For example....the Ahead is bigger than the 00, just like in the show. But the Crossbone Gundam (which is like 14 meters in height) is roughly the same size as the 00 Gundam. So at times there are a lot of inconsistencies. But then they fix it with some other figures, like the GNZ figures and the Regnant.

Well,in the Ahead case thats okay because the Ahead is suppose to be tallert than 00,thats according to their real scales.

So I guess its not consistant then for cross series and the same for within a certain series,I think I sort of have an idea now.

So that means everything in 00 [AD] is in accordance to everything else in 00 [AD] right?So each series has its own scale.

I guess that makes sense,sort of what I was hinting at,but I would have thought they would have synchronised the Gundam metaseries altogehter.Its still the same principle though,just more uniqe for each respective series.

Scale really isn't a big deal to me in the Damashii line. It's the articulation and durability that does it for me. :D

Oh and yes, the whole scale thing does apply to the Regnant: http://schizophonic9.com/regnant.html

Its fine if one likes to pose them individually,but for me I like to pose them together so scale sort of matters.But as long as the same series are constant with each other,thats not much of a problem I guess.

Okay so I tried saying this in this thread, dunno why it warped elsewhere.

"So essentially, for RD, the different toys are in scale proper to each other depending on the series they are in (such as 00, Crossbone, etc) but the series are not in scale according to one another."

Actually, now that I went digging up some old posts at GBIA. Bandai said that the Robot Damashii line would apply scale to "large mechs".

That's why the Regnant is so huge, and why the Crossbone Gundam, stands toe-toe with the 00.

I was hoping that the main local store I deal with would have had the first two side VFs this side of Christmas - but sadly, it looks like I'll have to wait for the New Year for them to show up.


But, as it turns out, another store - which usually doesn't get a whole lot, in terms of this kind of figure - happened to have the RT of Hilling's Garazzo!

I had gotten the HG Garazzo in Bring's colours, which suck in comparison. I should have waited for the HG of Hilling's version - but now, since I wanted to try the line out anyway, this isn't a bad option.


So far, the figure looks okay, though I will have to try it out a little to get used to it.


When it's daytime again, I'll try to see about pics.

I usually get my kits at department stores having a sale - they sell for really cheap then.

just finished one of the legs for my PG 00 Gundam, to give u guys some form of comparison, the whole leg (with the foot of course) standing straight is only about 1-2cm shorter than a standing MG Unicorn Gundam.

In other words the PG 00 Gundam is quite a beast, i 'm beginning to think now that it wont fit into my glass cabinet that i bought from ikea quite a while back.

Pros so far: GN condensor is kickass (no more wobbling legs), huge size, good inner mechanical detail

Cons so far: now this is somewhat dissapointing, the leg can only bend about 90 degrees and the ankle joint is somewhat restrictive (no way can it compare to the MG blue astray ankles)

Could you emphasize what "only bend about 90 degrees" is about? Not sure if you're referring to hip-leg articulation, or knee articulation (which I know bends further than 90 degrees).

Amazing stuff.

i think its nadleeh custom by bryan!
