AnimeSuki Forum - Gundam Models Discussion Thread

I've got some questions ^^;

Is there a major difference between the 1/100 NGs and the 1/144 HGs for 00?

More articulation w/ the NGs? It seems like my 1/100 Dynames is pretty detailed enough to be a HG. o.O

I want to know more about this because I was wondering if it will be worth spending my money while waiting for the 1/100 00 Raiser in designer colors w/ the GN Sword III or would I be better off with a 1/144 00 Raiser Trans-Am w/ GN Sword III?

I'm eager to know so I can save a bit of money (or not) when I buy the MG Sword Impulse in May at a convention (hopefully ><).

Opinions on the above NEEDED =D

Thanks ^___^

I think I had a similar question a page back, but the 1/144 seems to have better articulation than the NG version. Details are good too. Right now, I have the 1/144 Trans-Arm 00 Raiser on pre-order 'cause of it's gimmicks, price, and better posability than it's NG counterpart.

Sure, if I wanted to die. Plus, if I had such resources to pull off that type of caper. I'd take all the 00s and Aheads.

1/144: Go check out Dalong's reviews, but more choice in terms of diorama (other models). Some say more articulation and durability; I'm not sure.

Thats true because the 1/144 actually has a hip joint...

Physical? Different weaponry and an added antennae array on the head unit for one of its special functions.

lol that exia pretty much is a 4th generation mobile suit considering it doesnt use the cables to transfer GN particles anymore.

Nice how it has the GN sword III.

reborn gundam is kinda like 00 ver of Hi-Nu

Why is Exia using the GN Sword III blade instead of the whole damn thing?

LightningZERO

2009-03-29 04:01

So we get the answer of how can we get a normal color GN Sword III

Reborns Gundam is a must get!!! Hope it can transform!

sx3	2009-03-29 04:01

i hope the robot damashii release of 0 Gundam comes with the GN Drive on its back instead of some GN Condensor..

The Original Exia (this one is clearly a rebuilt one...), only had the GN Sword I at first.

Finally seeing the new Exia, here's the differences:

- No more exposed GN Conduits
- Thigh more similar to the 00 Gundam's
- Shorter GN Sword with GN Katar blades
- From other images, it seems the rear GN Beam saber racks were deleted
- Vents on the shoulders

I'd imagine nu gundam O Gundam ver 2 to be in the movie, with Exia S2 avalanche :D

LoweGear

2009-03-29 04:35

You're right, missed that one :D

Seems a somewhat extensive yet jerry-rigged repair of the Exia, which is a good thing.

2009-03-29 04:36

What will most likely prompt people to get the Exia-kai would be the normal colored GN-Sword III to be attached on the normal coloured OO-Raiser.

Same that the shade of blue would still be not compatiable for those who have the Designer Colours ver of OO-Raiser. So, another relase of the Exia-kai after this ?

Edit :- Looking closer, people can rig up the Exia-kai if they have the OO and Exia on hand here by just kitbash the upper torso of Exia with the lower torso of OO. And I bet that is exaclt what Bandai will be doing for the official release of the kit.

LoweGear

2009-03-29 04:39

Except that the Exia's GN Sword is not even the same as the 00 Raiser's. They have similar green blade edges, but the Exia's is just its GN Sword with upgrades, whereas the GN Sword III is a completely new weapon (The latter doesn't have the shield part for instance, and it's gun form is much larger).

LightningZERO

2009-03-29 04:49

Wow. So it's actually a different sword?

Man, this will be the 3rd Exia I buy

Techically you can kitbash the EXia-Kai out from existing models if you know how to.

For the sword, it's just the GN-Sword III's blade attached to the GN-Sword I's shield. Not a difficult thing to mod out if you ask me.

Not a very difficult mod indeed, but not very accurate either. For one, the Exia "Kai" (tentative name) GN Sword has a shorter, more deeply tapered blade, and its blade edges actually expand near the root unlike the perfectly straight GN Sword III.

I'd rather just wait for Bandai to suck my money out with a complete non-Trans-Am 00 Raiser set.

I know Bandai's practice of reusing parts, but only for weapons that are actually the same. For weapons or parts with slight differences, they go out of their way to make new parts for them. Trying to guess which parts Bandai will reuse and not reuse for years now, I can say that Bandai has surprised me lots of times now in what they reuse and not reuse. (Some of my guesses regarding Nadleeh reusing certain parts of Virtue were flat out wrong for instance :heh:)

i want the 1/100 of the Exia kai

GNWeapon

2009-03-29 07:34

Well if they want to reuse more parts, they could probably throw out releases of HG 1/144s and some 1/100s model kits of the mecha/variants for 00V, 00F, and even 00P towards this year's end and the whole of next.

I temp. forgotten about that movie in 2010, still a bit excited here and there on G00's ending. That will be nice to see what more HG 1/144s Bandai will release to milk us even further. :p

That will suit me perfectly, a wider range of kits to select from.. but then again, time is the problem.

I was kinda hoping they had release all the 2nd gen Gundams, as well as the 2nd/3rd gen variants. Of course not to mention repeated grunt suit variants..
