Who's getting the green 'GN' Action Base 2 for their CB Gundams?

Jumbo grade? Is it larger than MG?

So the green action base is actually supposed to represent GN particles? Dang, that looked pretty cool with the 00 gundams.

Expect a red one for the Thrones

That's from its description at Gunota a while back. And yes, they really do justice to the 00 Gundams

All we need is a red version for the Thrones

I believe it's supposed to be as large, or larger than 1/60 scale, much like previous Jumbo Grades like the RX-78-2.

[duotiga]

i might be getting the green base for the sake of 4 gundams...

Jumbo grade is 30 cm long

[LightningZERO]

The price will definitely high

That reminds me, I didn't even get the HG for 00 Gundams yet (except Exia). Going to get them after exam!

[Shiroth]

As soon as the Jumbo Grade Zeta Gundam appears on HLJ i'll be preordering, so expect plenty of pictures in the near future from me.

Plutone is 1/144, right? I think that I shall get it first, not Eins :P Maybe more interesting releases shall appear until then, but I doubt anything'll beat Plutone for me

Umm, hate to break it to you, but as of right now, they aren't releasing any Plutone kits. That kit from Dengeki Hobby is just a custom made kit.

[LightningZERO]

After watching episode 16, I have to get the Thrones as well.

My poor wallet

Oh, I see. Too bad, man I liked it for its design and traditional colour scheme.

Seems I gotta stay on the Eins then.

[Astrana]

so I was curious about how big Jumbo Grade is, and I found a actual picture



It's freaking huge!!

[MeesesGlokmah]

Sorry if I sound like a noob here, but is Nadleeh only part of the 1/100 Virtue model kit, or can Virtue shed it's armor in either the MSIA figure or 1/144 kit? I only buy the MSIAs or 1/144 kits because I am always short of cash, and because all of my other kits/figures are that size.

Bandai didn't managed to engineer Virtue transformation ablity in time (or maybe didn't even bothered to) for the HG 1/144 and MSIA releases.

But strangely, they did for the 1/200 HCM Pro

Something interesting from Gunota( only the last Paragraph deals with models, so pay attention to that one)

Akiba Space 6.0 Harutoshi Fukui talk show & signing event

DengekiOnline.com and Akiba Hobby covered Harutoshi Fukui's appearance at Akiba Space 6.0 to commemorate the grand opening of SuperModelers the day before. Over 100 fans showed up to hear the Gundam UC author speak alongside Dengeki Hobby's editor-in-chief and a representative from the Bandai Hobby Division. A variety of upcoming Gunpla were also on display at the event.

When asked for hints about upcoming developments in the story, Fukui said, "Since you know its Gundam, it'd be a mistake not to drop in on Earth". He also remarked that an aquatic mobile suit will be needed in the Summer and that he wanted a new GM-equivalent mobile suit to appear as well as a walking mobile armor. Upon hearing that, the other two guests jumped in on the idea, rapidly conversing back & forth with Fukui until they finally somehow ended up talking about a giant, 4-legged GM.

Later, Fukui threw an age-old question out to the gathered audience concerning Amuro Ray who, of course, is never described in detail following the events of Char's rebellion: "Do you think Amuro is alive? Do you think he's dead?" Many in the audience raised their hands for the former question while some others felt he was dead. Fukui said of this, "Very interesting response."

Near the end of the talk, it was asked if there were going to be any more Gundam UC kits. The Bandai Hobby Division rep answered, "I can't say which but I think I want merchandise of the machine designated as the Gundam Unicorn's rival." When asked for a show of hands regarding whether they wanted the Sinanju or the Kshatriya as a Master Grade, the Kshatriya won out.
