managed to find a conversion kit...looks pretty good!

Bandai likes rehashes anyway. Might as well make use of the existing Impulse kits and add the massive cannons! Can't be that hard to change the colours and CAD that pack right!

....How is it that ppl think Mocks are bootlegs?

Because Fellini thought they were?

Because they're NOT

If they were TRULY bootleg they would not be able to move at all since Plavsky particles ONLY work with BANDAI'S PLASTIC

They're nothing more than cheap mass produced gunpla dummies (most likely a deal/contract between PPSE and Bandai) used for simulations, cutting the requirements of building many different kits for each machine to use



Anyways as for the HG Mocks, that would be funny if they made a exclusive of the first mock iteration from Season 1 lol

[Rising Dragon]

I don't think they honestly believe they're bootlegs, it's just an affectionate/derogatory nickname for them, coined by Fellini. I doubt even Fellini thought of them as true bootlegs, and if he did, I imagine it was because of how they were mock-ups of existing units, given the headsets and weaponry used by them. Hence the name "Mock".

Wait



No one talking about this?

I find it laughable that our prophecy from 2013 came true

[ZeroXSEED]

It was the same HG Destiny I have

[Death Usagi]

Looks like Destiny is heading for sold out route...

Okay some progress notes, but no pics, sadly <.< Pics forthcoming.

I've completed my Unicorn, more or less. I still have the head left, and and some of the hands, but other than that, my Unicorn is ready. The bazooka is a little tricky - the folding handle of the side grip has its attachment point molded solid. You basically have to cut that piece out, which is a little tricky and if you're not careful you'll cut open your handle. -_-;; Somehow, strangely enough, the joints and body feel a lot stiffer and firmer than my Banshee, despite being basically identical. *shrug*

I am seriously considerign leaving the Unicorn unlined because it already looks pretty good without panel lining, though I'm still on the fence about that. *shrugs* Deffo gonna panel line it this weekend though.

Will be spending tonight and Saturday afternoon assembling the weapons parts. Moe agare gunpla! I'll probably do a few pics with the fully armed and operational Full Armor Unicorn, then I'll probably cross load some of the weapons onto my Banshee Norn.

General rule for the unicorns is to not line it, plain white looks the best (only part you should line are the face vents of the destroy mode)



@zeroXSEED

The proportions are much better than the current HG Destiny though, but good catch on the snapbuild details

Am I seeing seamlines on the arms and legs or are those lines supposed to be details?

Those are seam lines

[StrikeFreedomV2]

Thats probably the old HG then :/ I hope they still will make an updated HGCE, though

[ZeroXSEED]

If it proves to be popular enough? They will

This means he will get 'custom' HGBF Destiny first, which will lead to HGCE Destiny

Of course, Bandai could just fuck with us again and release HGBF Destiny based on the old mold :/

[StrikeFreedomV2]

I hope not -.- This would kill my hope for a HGCE Strike Freedom

[DuelGundam2099]

I learned two things from this thread in the past two pages, the main one being that SEED Destiny is still going to bring them money in kits most entries won't regardless of quality. The other is that I cannot take my eyes off of ZeroXSEED's signature.

[bio9205]

RD Hyaku Shiki and Zeta White Unicorn ver.... Really hope these see the light of day!
