I say it's the Trans-Am colors of the other Gundams, plus the limited edition Trans-Am 00.

There are another 5 ROBOT魂<SIDE MS> pictures which are not shown yet. I know 3 of the 5 are the Regnant, Trans Am Clear 00 Gundam, and Crossbone X1. Any idea what the other 2 are? Arche and Susanoo I hope.

Gadessa (Bring), ???, Crossbone Gundam X-1, Crossbone Gundam X-2 Kai, ???.

Since we know about Regnant and Trans Am Clear 00 Gundam, that should be it. Which means there are no more until they announce more figures in the Side MS line.

Were you talking about these 5? I saw an entry on Ngee Kiong's blog (http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/...ii-nation.html) saying something about another 4 more RDs from Gundam 00, but I'm not sure whether its an additional 4 to the 5 above, or a subset.

I don't have much complaints with it though, the construction of it's arms are almost similar to the old MGs (I compared it with my Freedom), except that you can't move the shoulders forwards or backwords.

The legs are attached to the waist piece with ball joints, so you can't stretch them out too far. The feet are attached to the legs with also just ball joints instead of the second joint MGs have.

Maybe the only thing I have gripes about is that when you combine the pieces to form Virtue, The feet don't stay flat on the ground because of the thick armour and lack of the second ankle joint.

I'm pretty happy with this kit though, comparing the improvements Bandai have done with their NG 1/100s. While the old ones had blocky proportions, their Gundam 00 ones look rather appropriate.

Ha, lowly? Dude, they look awesome. Are those red tiny stuff stickers or decals? They add the finishing touch to a model. I hate how the sticker ones show with their sheen, while I'm too lazy to scratch out the individual decals.

Btw, how did you make the white background for your photoshoots? Is there any kind of program I can use?

Thanks for the compliment and answering question about Nadleeh. But to be honest if I was to get Nadleeh it would most probably be for purging armour/trans am mode. Anyhow being yeah they're decals that I use. Decals are really a patience game to be honest. Even for me it sometimes drives me nuts. As for white background google up on how to make home made light tent/box. I used a light tent I made with the white balance settings configured on my DSLR to tungsten +3. Due to my lamps I use gives off a yellow hue I needed to edit the rest of the light settings on adobe photoshop CS2. Hope that helps. (I should really get better bulbs but too lazy and saves money just using any old household appliances).

If all that sounds hassle to you. What I can do is if you take some clear pictures of your gundam in a well lit place with a clear background such as a wall or what not I can do the light edit settings for you. Just let me know if you want to email it to me or host it somewhere and give me the link to edit for you.

I'm about to win an awesome Gundam figure on ebay in 3 minutes. Update in a few minutes.

EDIT:
I won a 1/60 scale Wing Gundam figure
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=370173588041

In the last minute some faggot started to bid too but I won. I paid quite a bit more but oh well.

It's the same figure as in this awful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU2-kEQ-LTU

Oh yeah, I'm a tough Gundam pilot!

[Knight_SV]

it's strange that bandai didn't made 1/60 00 Gundam, maybe they will go straight to PG 00 perhapds

[MeesesGlokmah]

How much you guys wanna bet that Bandai will try to milk us for more money by releasing a Trans-Am Burst 00?!?

Haha, my photography/photo-editing skills are practically non existent. I do have some basic photo editing sofeware though, anyway I can whitewash the background?

Appreciate it, we'll continue this conversation through pms then.

Hey i was wondering if you guys could help me. I would of started a new thread but this site wont seem to let me -_- so i thought this would be the best place to ask. I recently got two gundam toys, one of which was a 1/200 scale gundam. The 1/200 scale was a bit smaller than the other toy i got, which was an MSIA Hazel gundam. The scale wasnt listed on the site, and i was wondering if someone could help me with the scale of the action figure.
Here's the link to the MSIA gundam:

I thought i read somewhere that the MSIAs were 1/144, but i cant remember where or if i even saw that. Any help would be great, thanks.

Played around with my gunpla a bit. Finally redoing the scene of Freedom stabbing

Spoiler for diorama:

though it is not an exact replication with shield on etc but still one gets the spirit :P

Now I am just waiting for them to release a MG 00. To cool to be overllooked, especially after today's episode

Its a shame you couldn't complete the scene by having Freedom stabbing Impulse through the face, like in the show.

They will one way or the other.

To me, the scene looked different. ABSOLUTE SHINN tryumph! :P

I just changed the pose and I thought I like it more, with the Impulse lowered a bit to change dynamics:


Notice the little Gilbert :P lol

[justavisitor]

Nice one Sir Dearka XD

Also, any chance/news that Regnant will be released as HG 1/144??

[LightningZERO]

Nope. The closest one you can get is the Robot Tamashii version

But it's BIG!

But since there are Psycho Gundams for HGUC.

There's a chance that the Regnant gets a HG treatment.

[kk2extreme]

i'd like destroy gundam to be mg.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Another interesting Damashii item is a 1000 yen special 00 item.

Weapons pack?

Nope nope, Damashii figures are a good 2-3 inches taller than traditional MSIA.

The 00 Gundam and the Ahead are in scale with the EMSIA Gelgoogs, which are considerably taller thank regular MSIA.

This picture should help ya.

Some old debate involving MSIAs / RDs / HG 1/144s. I did a comparison between my MSIA Exia and the HG 1/144 one. The MSIA one seems a little shorter, but I guess it would not be wrong to say it's around 1/144.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the above:
MSIA - MSIA - RD - MSIA

Congrats on winning the figure, but did you really have to bring up the commercial? Seriously, just hearing that guy saying gunDAM gunDAM gunDAM over and over again just gives me the heebie jeebies.

Yup, but to get technical, the RX-78 is the MSIA V2.

Some pics of what most probably will be my last gunpla in a very long time, the MG WZC. Currently I have no plans to acquire any other models:
