There you go, Providenceangle. You can re-watch Wing episodes in HD now and enjoy the original Japanese track.

Well my friend has that already. I was curious when you said blu-ray release... It's all good.

I've got some serious gunpla modding and such to do. Maybe I'll watch, and work at the same time. Even got a cool idea for a USB dio clock SB, in 1/144.(ssshhhh! Don't tell anyone lol)

i've found my modelling Nemesis, The MG Duel Assault mode's frontskirt. i cannot for the bloody life of me get that thing to stay in place. Nor can i get it to hold the mega-beam launcher ;_;

Agreed about AS’s front skirt. It’s a pain. But even so, I do manage to put it on a solid position. The key is to push the AS front skirt’s pegs in the proper slot, then push both the “under-skirts” forward a bit. With that, AS front skirt will stuck there even if you pose it upside down as long as you don’t shake the kit or touch AS front skirt again when you posing it (or you can just say “to hell with it!” and use glue ).

As for the Gae Bolg/Bazooka/Launcher, it’s really easy imo. Adjust the bazooka’s handle -> put the fingers’ peg on the handle-> bend the arms in a “bazooka holding” position -> put the bazooka-holding fingers on the hand -> pose it properly and it will stay firm unless you shake it hard. Patience is the key, I guess

Patience makes perfect, i guess

I can get it on without the Assault shroud, but with it on i can't get it posed on properly without it looking dumb, imo. lol

It was tough holding it with the AS on, but yeah, those two were never meant to be together in the first place (no matter how hard Bandai tried to shoehorn it). IMO It's either you use the Gae Bolg or AS.

[Znozzy]

but.. but.. the AS is so pretty and adds alot of thrusters ;_;

I've been hit or miss with Unicorn. This shield, isn't helping it's chances lol.

I get the idea, understanding, as well as function of it. It's just not visually attractive to me. What so ever.

I have no idea what that oversized shield is for, but it looks stupid. I hope we don't waist another MG slot on a unicorn with oversized shield...

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Well, since I already have Unicorn Ka Titanium, I might as well get that DE Shield if the price is reasonable.

Well judging from the Psycho-Frame parts. I'd say it probably extends the already overpowered NT-D system. Maybe increased suit output/protection?

Unicorn isn't my favorite design. I do like it, just needs to be made, more to my liking. I'll get a 1/144 of some kinda eventually. I certainly will not, get a MG of it. Is there a PG in the works?

If the design is popular enough (which it is), Bandai will certainly consider it. Heck, Astray (a non-animated Gundam) got a PG almost solely due to its popularity. Still there’s one obstacle imo: Unicorn’s size and transformation. Just imagine how many parts Bandai will need to make for a PG Unicorn. With that, the price of it will make even the extreme Gunpla collectors think thrice to buy it. I guess that’s also why there’s no PG Nu so far. But hey, if they can release PG 00 Raiser and PG Strike Rouge + Skygrasper, Unicorn shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

How I wish Kshatriya is RED, this is so tempting and I think it's the first time I'll be seeing a plastic model kit that doesn't have a runner.

[Bonta Kun]

Would love to see both Unicorn and Sinanju as PG.
They would make for the best center pieces in any collection imo.

[Providenceangle]

The Sinanju is a PG I would buy.

I've yet to buy a kit yet(Sinanju), but I intend to get at least the HG and MG in the next while. Sadly I need some resin casting materials... Gonna set me back $140... I can't afford to buy them right now.

[RX93-2]

PG AleX or GP03 would be awesome imo.
But the chance for them is like 10% just by merit of their age and unpopularity relative to the other PG's suits.

[Providenceangle]

How do people sell resin kits? Do they pay bandi or something? Must be only certain companies allowed to reproduce their designs? Otherwise I'll just make conversion kits and sell them lol.
