Honestly, the RX-78 2.0 looks impressive. It looks exactly like the anime version completely. I for one will buy this.

The Shin Musha Gundam...what can I say. Total badass-ness. I've already pre-ordered it. Yummy

[beamknight87]

oh man, this is a complete bomb!!!!

- first... the RX-78-2 2.0... I don't see anything new yet...
- that 1/72 VF-25 Valkyrie... is it something like a MG? cuz its on one of those special gundam bases by Bandai and goddamn, I love that model. Is this the aforesaid transformable Valkyrie to compete with the Yamato ones?
- HGUC Kämpfer, totally sexy
- The new MG's are totally meh to me, but somewhere I saw a promo image of the SOC Daimos and behind of it of the next Soul of Chogokin figure with... holy crap, Daizengar and Aussenseiter (BOTH ROBOT AND HORSE) on it!!!!!

I ended the awesomeness of this day purchasing a HGUC GP02 for 20 bucks. The shield and the bazooka look so menacing jojo

RX-78-2 Ver 2.0 looks...plain....

Oh and more Zakus...

wow, MG Guntank. Hope the treads are loosely fitting in the way I can just push it and it rolls

Now, that Zaku Cannon is one reason for me to really get my Zaku fever on. But too bad on the Type-D GN Arms, would've been real nice to have it in a no frills way. Ah, ebay and yahoo japan auctions....

[Ardi220288]

wow is that 1/100 Avalanche exia that I see over there . if only there are better picture of it

[LightningZERO]

Pretty sure there will be a Type D eventually.

Avalanche looks awesome!

[mangatron]

By the way.... that MG Rx-78-2 Ver 2.0 looks to have individually jointed main fingers. Now that's an improvement if any

[Shiro-Oh!]

It seems that the RX-78-2 ver 2.0 is aiming for its anime look. Nothing too impressive, I suppose. Let's just hope its posability exceeds that of the OYW version. Otherwise, it'll be just another RX-78. >_>

Anyway, YAAAY for MG Guntank! =) And the Valkyrie... *faints*

So what's up with that entry plug, by the way?

Wow...that's something new!!!

And what's this MG G-Armor? Is it included together with Gundam Ver 2.0 or seperated?

[Terra]

Oh damn it. I don't need to get into Macross model collecting as well. Gundams is enough. Especially with me just starting to sort out painting them.

[Sir Dearka]

Shinn Musha looks great. Yeah, but no real "anime" memories attached to this one *discrads this purchase*

This GN-Arms Type D is just a custom, right? It's not officially in "pre-production"preparations?

All I can say is "Wow and WTF" to you man.
You have your reasons but I'm still going to say "WTF" to you.

The boxart as well as the model are both impressive. Simply amazing!

Well, I'd rather have something beautiful AND also have some memories attacherd to it than just buy something for the sake of its beauty. Unless it is a true piece of art, but in this case I really prefer figurines and sculptures over toy robots.

[Rey Za Burrel]

It's really dun matter if u have real "anime" memories attached to it or not to buy the kit imo
I just bought G05 because I love its design and just like Shin Musha , it dun appeared in any anime too

Actually, I can understand where you're coming from. I almost hesitated on buying the MG Destiny Gundam b/c I have a strong dislike towards Shin, Don't ask why, I just hate his guts. But I still ended up getting it in the end b/c the model, itself, was amazingly badass.

[GNinjaK]

When will there be more info about RX-78-2 ver 2.0? Don't know if I'll get it because it just looks plain.Also here is my finished GN Sword I think it looks alright for being the first thing I ever painted.
