It's how things work here in a major commercial hub of Asia. You get stuffs early sometime.

Staring at the instruction manual scans, there's a nice contrast between the Exia R2 and 0 Gundam.
The Exia R2 is the same as the old Exia except for swappable drives (open and closed), a few armor changes, and an upgrade in the hip joint.
The 0 Gundam on the other hand was designed like the other Season Two HGs, with number of pieces reduced, but more polycaps and flexibility.

You can actually rebuild the Exia here if you want. But you can only choose between the original GN Sword or the new variation.

Are there any plans to release a Master Grade Saviour Gundam? Is 1/100 the biggest available whether officially or unofficially?

no news yet on the saviour MG, i doubt it would be made (along with the Legend), currently the 1/100 version is the largest, i have one myself, it's a pretty good kit and can transform as well. i don't know what you mean by 'available unofficially'... if ur referring to 'pirated kits', then i would stay from them as they are of terrible quality

I mean companies that make models outside of bandai. Like those companies that make resin kits.

Might be a good idea for Bandai to start selling HG version of these :heh:

Is that an Advanced GN-X conversion?

Nope, it's a full figure of the Advanced GNX.


Also, it's an exclusive....EXCLUSIVE...thanks alot Bandai....

not any that i know of, if ur looking for the largest kit, it would definitely be the 1/100 from bandai, any other kits made by other companies would be of smaller size, if u cant wait for the MG (if it ever comes), i suggest u buy the 1/100 as its not a bad kit with good poseability

anyways i have a question to ask myself, can anyone suggest a 'Tamiya spraypaint' for the body of the strike freedom (i.e. the dark bluish/black area in the chest area as well as on the wings), i can't seem to find the right colour for it, if anyone can help that would be much appreciated :)

If you looking for a blue sorta to the blue on the Strike Freedom i would use TS-10 French Blue or TS-44 Brilliant Blue. But i like keeping things close or to match the kit as much as possible.

That's the Robot Damashii Advanced GN-X, which will be sold as a Tamashii Web exclusive, hence you can only buy it online, like the Regnant :heh:

This trend of Web Exclusives is getting out of hand :eyespin:

Can somebody plz write me up a color guide for the Justice Gundam. I want it to look as close to the model kit as possible but getting da right mixture of acrylic paint was harder dan i thought

Question about the Tamashi Web Shop items; do online retailers like HobbySearch / HLJ put them up for pre-order or sale? Thanks. =)

thanks for tip, however i was referring to the dark chest area (i.e. where the cockpit) is, it seems to be a fusion of black and dark blue or something. i'm looking for a tamiya spraypaint which comes closest to that colour, if anybody can help, that would be much appreciated!!!

I guess i read that wrong. :) my bad. But i looked at the colour guide for Tamyia sprays of what they have and it doesn't seem they have what your wanting.. close could be a TS-63 NATO Black but i think you have to go custom (Airbrush) or try out a testors line of paints or Mr. Color.
here is the colour guide for Tamiya spray paints.

They could of added more colours to the guide if this guide is out of date.

Nope, as mentioned the only place you can order them is through the Tamashii Web website, and they're limited edition figures. :eyespin:

Try Tokyo Hunter. The site specializes in acquiring rare and exclusive hobby items from Japan so it's probably the best bet of getting exclusives like the damashii advanced gnx. Though it's not available yet, the damashii Regnant is already listed in the link above.

It's only a matter of time before the whole Robot Damashii line is an online exclusive.:upset:

hey sworra, thanks for the advice, i took a look on the website and NATO black doesn't look too bad but what do u think about 'Dark Mica blue" (its the one right next to it), they both look quite similar, which one do u think is closest to the actual kit?
