Prime92 did a review on it. It's not very good at all, but it's the best that we have at the moment. If Bandai did do a Full Saber release with the MG 00 Qan[T], then with a few more plates, they can charge like 6000 YEN for it. =) Good profit for them at minimal cost, while us fans finally get a complete version of the Qan[T]. As for MG Exia R2 and 00 Qan[T] ELS.. Yea. I wouldn't mind those as a P-Bandai exclusive. =) As for the video I mentioned that Prime92 did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc3qz8WR0Nw&hd=1 The Full Saber that Bandai licensed Hobby Japan to include in the magazine was for the 1/144 High Grade 00 Qan[T]... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-RU_c3EXuc&hd=1

The HGUC ones also have fewer stickers: the HG Unicorn Destroy Mode only has stickers for the eyes and the scope on the beam magnum, along a pair of white seals for the psycoframe on the neck area. It helps that the HGUC series is reasonably detailed: the HG Unicorn and Sinanju have near-MG level details

I'm basically agree. Some kits are better in the HG version than the (old) MG. Solid examples would be Nu, Sazabi, RX-79, ZZ, and to some extent, 00 Raiser (coz you can pose the side-binders even more freely than the MG without it drooping or falling off).

True! Most specially if the MG was released way before its HG counterpart.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't look down upon the 144 HG kits either. They may be small, but they are filled with plenty of details on their own right. I would dare say some of them are even better than their larger counterparts.
I don't know if anyone here build dioramas, but those come in very, very handy. - Tak

Granted, the inner frame is cool and everything, but how often does one take the exterior plating apart to display it? The HGUC Unicorn and Sinanju look just fine without the frame, thank you very much
The first example that comes to mind for me is the HG 00 Qan[T]: compared to its MG counterpart, the shield binder on the former is significantly lighter in proportion to its size, allowing it to hold poses better. I picked up the MG simply out of vain curiosity, as that was my first-ever master grade |

on a serious note, people tend to do more dynamic poses more on HG/RG 1/144 rather 1/100 (if you got the luxury space). Most 1/100 are usually standing/Singular pose, the most would be 2 kit doing side by side dynamic poses for 1/100 . PG/ Megasize is already your "shrine"
