You think they'll include the parts to make that skull shield pictured above?

GUNDAM ASTAROTH RINASCIMENTO

https://i0.wp.com/www.taghobby.com/w...0321gekkou.jpg

Anyone know why Gundam Guys page has not been updated? Also I heard rumours of a MG Justice floating around anyone else hear anything?

So far, we only got an image of MG Justice on display AFAIK. I guess you can see it here along with other news:
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

Yeah that was the source I seen it from. I hope the rumour is true and we finally get a MG Justice.

The MG Justice is actually confirmed for a June Release.

So, so happy.

It's not a rumor. Before that video, MG Justice was already confirmed by Bandai some time after MG Providence was announced. All we have to do is wait.

And yeah, that MG Justice sure looks rad. Even though it's a bit stylized from the original design, I'm still extremely happy. At least so far I don't see any drastic changes to the main weapons into something unnecessarily more complex like Freedom's balaena cannons.

So since Gundamguy hasn't updated for a while, I'm wondering if there is another place I can find more news on the new astaroth model.

There isnt much news on the model at all outside of the lineart and the announcement of the kit

idk about what other good sites though, I just use the gunpla subreddit nowadays

I love the dead design of the tristan

Not sure how long these have been out but:

Also seems like were getting some sort of Cathedral variant thats not P-Bandai for the Amazing Ready mange

Sexy MG Justice is the absolute justice :p

I'm glad I didn't waste my money to buy the normal RG Justice (I only have the RG Deactive Justice). Now I'll get the best of both worlds. I might have to get the RD Justice too to cement my fanboyism :D.

Btw, is it just me, or Denial mold is the sleeper hit of recent Gunpla? How many alternative kits of Denial that we have so far? Including HG Amazing Strike Freedom that shares Denial's shoulders. It might have as many kits as Fumina-related stuffs.

Not really? (on the Denial)

So far theres really only the base kit, Cathedral, and this new one

IMO calling the ASF a variant is a bit of a stretch since most of the kit is still the SF base

Iunno. I mean, for an original side-Gundam with new mold and minimal screentime in its own series, it sure spawned more kits than it should have. It's not even the main big bad like Reborns & we didn't really get many variations out of HG Reborns. In that way, I still consider it a sleeper hit.

Just a little remind for Easter break...

Nah, this is more like happyness. *admittedly I've never liked Zakus.

Since this is mostly a new mold, I figured this is worthy to be posted here:

3rd Party (Dragon Momoko) DM MG 1/100 ZGMF-X12A Gundam Testament from Gundam SEED Destiny Astray manga:
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) And Bandai's Robot Damashii for comparison:
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
I honestly feel more and more grateful for the existence of 3rd parties. Not only because they provide a cheaper alternative for spare parts and customization, but also their willingness to go above and beyond to create something that fans want which Bandai will likely never make (eg. MG Hazel Gundam, MG Deathsythe Hell non-EW, etc). Oh, and most of them are committed to always improve their products. They are the dark horse and helpful sidekick during the dark age of Master Grades. They even convert the Metal Builds and release them as far cheaper (but still quite good) MG kits that you can assemble yourself.

Dayum, I forgot how good Testament looked. I really want an official MG of that thing now. Any idea what the Dragon Momoko version costs/will cost?

And dark age of MG, that's both accurate and pretty depressing. I'm hoping for a revival soon, maybe with some more 00 MG's (Dynames or Zabanya or something) or something completely different.

Is the Robot Damashii line pretty much dead now? I feel like it's been a while since any new releases were announced.

They seem to be doing fine to me...

Well, since DM MG Akatsuki Gundam & Deathscythe Hell TV are around $40-50-ish, you can expect MG Testament in the same price range or slightly more expensive if the kit is better than the previous ones.

Looks like mostly a bunch of repaints and retools. That doesn't seem "fine" to me.

I remember they were gonna do Blu Duel and Verde Buster too...but no mention of them in the schedule it seems. My Strike Noir is lonely...

They have shown a lot of figures over the years that never get released. Blue Destiny, Gun-Ez, Gun Blaster, METEOR Unit, etc.

Strike Noir most likely didn't sell enough to produce the others. The primary focus of the Robot Spirits line is A.N.I.M.E line now, which is all OYW.

Some Upcoming P-Bandai

HGIBO Riden-Go

HGIBO Kings Throne

MG Advanced GN-X (fuck me....checks credit card, someone talk me out of this before things get out of hand, I need to save for the eventual P-Bandai Sandrock EW)



And one of my go to online shops Hobbywave is shutting down, so my credit card took a huge hit from IBO kits already (if you're in the US and want some cheaper kits you might want to check them out before its all over)

Well, if it's any help, I can say that MG GN-X is not a really good base. There are problems of parts falling off, etc. MG Sandrock and its variant is definitely the better kit. Also, it's not like you're gonna lose any chance to buy the MG Adv GN-X later on if you hold off now. Bandai will keep on printing exclusives from time to time.

Lucky you that they decided to do a clean-up sale with (I assume) cheaper price. What kits did you buy?

FM Bael
HG Bael
McGillis Chara Stand
HG Graze Ritter
HG Kimaris Vidar
HG Graze Ein
Gaelio Chara Stand


Pretty much set on IBO kits for a while lol

I looked up that Deathscythe MG, and I'm kinda dissapointed. It looks awesome, but nothing like the original MS. For a second I got excited....

I hope that Bandai will pull itself out of the dark age eventually, there are still so many MS's that deserve the MG treatment (the other 00 gundams, Abyss gundam, TV versions of Wing MS ( I'd really like a decent Virgo kit), Byarlant Custom, just to name a few)

Yeah, DM's MG Deathscythe is highly stylized. Though, we also got that treatment in official products too such as the Metal Builds (eg. MB Destiny is a huge departure from the actual lineart). And DM MG D-Hell does resemble the original design. The rib-cages chest, the shroud, the head, the feet, even the dual-bladed scythe was lifted almost-straight from Bandai's actual 1/100 Deathsythe Hell TV (I have the kit, so I can tell).

Oh yeah, the Deathscythe MG is a bit different but the model is beautiful. I think its worth the price but that depends on how much a stickler you are for accuracy.

The next Real Grade:

^ Will it be transformable? If so, will Bandai shoot themselves in the foot like when they made RG Sinanju with RG Mk-II's frame? :uhoh:

I am sure it going to have destroy mode.

It will be literally destroyed

It seems this thread needs some refreshment. Here's a new review of Gunpla Evo Project HG Zeta Gundam for you:

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

Is there a good substitute for the wire used for the 1/144 Barbatos Lupus Rex's tail you can buy? I kinda want to make mine longer.

Looks to be about the same thickness as the large paperclips, I have one myself but I've yet to test it with a large paperclip since my older sister doesn't appreaciate me stealing her office supplies.

So my Aunt is going to Japan at the end of the month, are there any exclusive HG sets released only in Japan or any models that will be released by then there? Because I'm considering asking her to get me one.

You can try your local electronics/hardware shops for that. Just bring the one included in the kit for reference to get the right thickness of the wire.

Theres quite a few P-Bandai/limited edition kits out there, from what I heard hobbystores in japan tend to have them on the shelves sometimes, old and new. Cant say what exactly they would have though since availability is determined by supply (rereleased/reissued or not) and demand (how popular particular MS is)

Not sure about releases for this month, but theres quite a few being released and rereleased in june/july

Finding p-bandai gunpla in Japan quite hard unless if you know store that sells them. Might as well buy those exclusive gunpla in Gundam Store
