Excited: MG Providence! FINALLY!

Piqued my Interest:
- RG Astray Gold Frame: Looks good, almost like a 1/144 version of the awesome Metal Build. Still, rather have the actual MG somewhere down the line. Or if Dragon Momoko ever wants to make the plastic version of the Metal Build like they did with Destiny.
- HG Amazing Strike Freedom: RAGE ON, GUNPLA!
- HiRes Wing Zero EW: Could become a better version of 1/100 than the existing dated MG.

Just my two-cents, but I don't like the red inner frame and the big yellow blocks on Amazing SF. I think they look distracting. If I ever get that kit, I'm gonna paint them either silver or gold.

I don't think MG Wing Zero is that dated. It has great sculp, great color, great articulation, great build and solidity. It also has no problem holding all of its weapons. You can practically pull off any kind of poses with it. It's better than the recent MG V2 Gundam and (in some aspects) is even better than MG Nu.KA, I can tell you that. IMO the only things they can improve on it are the wings. They can probably make it more elaborate and solid. Aside from that, I think the HiRM model will only make it sharper, more stylized and (a lot) more expensive.

Oh good I'm hoping on the second day we finally get its color scheme as well as one more confirmation on any more Gundams, I mean seven stars have seven Gundams right ? lol would be a huge wast not to have Gunpla of them right ?

[darkone45]

Very strange we didn't see Gundam flauros, I wonder if they had it ready they didn't want to show off its colors ?

I'm actually surprised we haven't seen this photoshoped yet.

[NBG]

Actually this photoshoped image was shared on reddit a couple days ago only missing the eye on side of head

Spoiler:

[Router25]

It might actually be in Ryusei colors, now that I see that there are actual shark teeth in the almost Graze-looking head, and

Spoiler for ep 33:

now that Takaki resigned from Tekkadan

because giving it to Hush is a bit of a stretch.

People actually speculated Takaki would get it? O-o, theres seriously no precedent for it

Its near 100% Shino, he's the only other veteran pilot in Tekkadan and hes the only one left on Mars, where the Flauros and the MA is

I wouldnt be surprised if he was the saving grace for Mika in the upcoming fight against Vidar

I was happily egging it because of the previous trope with the Rebake. Good thing they didn't do it.

Building my 1/100 Schwalbe Graze (Gaelio's) and really impressed

Love the build for these things, full, yet not complex/too many parts inner frame, minimal stickers, detail level between HG and MG, solid feeling, yet very articulated

Cost for what ur getting (expensive HG/Cheap MG/other NGs 1/100) is pretty darn sweet. These are what the RE/100s shoulda been like



That being said Im definitely looking to picking up more of these in the future. Probably a Barbatos, and theres a good chance of Bael getting on later on

Also picked up the HG Astaroth Origin, its my favorite IBO gundam so far but I dont see it having a goid chance of getting a 1/100 made, even after the show is done airing

Anyone know if the beam effect is included with the kit?

[Galaxian]

Has anyone gotten the HG Scramble Gundam yet?

It is thats an official image

Some more recent ones show its full accessory load out (beam effect, pile drives for claws, and a new style katana for barbatos)

Just the overall feelings towards it. Is it worth it?

Depends, its quite a simple Gunpla to be honest, its a rather simple to build kit, good if you want to do a nice relaxing build, just don't expect much on the features department, as for accessories, all you get is the forearm beam rifles, beam saber effects, and this little snap on piece to mount a forearm rifle on the chest during waverider/bird mode.

I see. Right now I'm torn between it and Barbatos Lupus.
