Ah~ Even though I haven't seen the original Gundam, I have seen and aware of the crap animation such as this. You know, I think a big reason why I can't get into UC is because of the original/older ones having such bad animation. If they animated Gundam Origins, I might be inclined to watch that.

Would be a waist of good plastic as for akatsuki there is a terrific 1/100 hg kit available (which coinsidely still is liying in my closset after 4 years for me to finaly build it, lol).

Probaly gonna be as yellow as Shiki with no gold if it would happen.

Give me finaly a MG zaku warrior (or any of it's repaints)!!!!!

It's not the graffics that make a good series. The original gundam series is just not a good story by todays standards, nor is zeta. The side shows like stardust and 8th are the real gems of UC.

Realize this. But it is a huge con and makes it less motivating especially with me starting Gundam with Gundam Wing and G Gundam, and then really getting into it more with Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, Gundam 00, Gundam Age, and now casually with Gundam Build Fighter.

Dude, even if you grew up on Wing or any AU Gundam, that won't stop you to appreciate the older or UC Gundam series, I also grew up with Wing, G and X but that won't stop me to enjoy or appreciate more on UC Gundam series and make me realize how total ripoff is the Wing, X and more especially the Seed or Seed Destiny.

It sort of a semi-MG since the design is based from MG Strike and it was also designed to be compatible with the MG Strike packs(Aile, IWSP, Sword, Launcher, and even the new Ootori)

I guess you have some points there. But I just can't really enjoy much of UC. I mean I did see 08th MS Team and Miller's Report and thought it was pretty cool. If they ever 2.0 the Ground and EZ-8 MGs, I might get them since they're unique.

Regardless you can't deny that Wing, 00, Seed, Destiny, Age, X, G... They have an amazing cast of Gundams and the stories are memorable, and they have all those epic moments.

Well, "...semi-MG..." doesn't mean it's MG at all.
It's like saying that you semi-bought a hamburger. Do you own the rights to eat the hamburger? Nope.

lol

I want that as a model. It's the true SD Gundam! XD

[suiton629]

I wouldn't want that.
If that was displayed in stores in Japan, it would make little kids cry diarrhea because that's what it looked like.

Oh and uh. Gundam Origins.. Is that like an updated retelling of the original series?

Your opinion is exactly that. Yours. I don't think you know much about the "Japanese" market. They sell more strange and quirky items, then you can possibly understand.

[suiton629]

True.
Japan is the land of those octopus and squid fetishes..LOL And they have that squid and snake flavored ice cream, etc.

Meh. Regardless, I think selling the derp-derp Gundam in any scale would be a marketing and PR disaster. Maybe they could sell it as a gag-online exclusive at a convention.

No.. Not just weird sexual fetish things. EVERYTHING! Umbrellas for your high heels... Lots of weird stuff.

As for gundam. The market is based on the Japanese consumer. Not you. What you think is retarded, could be the most exciting, amazing, gotta have thing. Everyone has a different opinion, it's what makes the world go around.

[suiton629]

Anyway...

About the MG X Gundam. Do we know if it will have parts for the X Divider?

No, otherwise bandai can't sell divider seperately or as an exclusive.

Personally i like divider more then normal X, wish we had gotten a RD of that one.

True.
But remember the Exia Ignition Mode? That had conversion parts included for the Repair 1. So it's not like Bandai never did it before.

But either way, I hope we do end up with MG X Divider and MG Double X.

[Shinobi2013]

The announcement is already final isn't it? Only normal X will release, the date, the price, it's already announced, no words yet for X Divider.

The Exia is a different story since both the normal Exia and the Ignition mode was announced simultaneously and both of them released in the same month.

No way. Stardust and 8th MS team are just short melodramas.
Crappy in comparison to the overreaching plot lines found throughout 0079 and Zeta.
Zeta is still considered the pinnacle of gundam story telling.

lol

Mid action stills are always horrible even in the newest of animation. Seed, 00 and Age were filled with horrible stills of disproportioned bodies and limbs that dont make sense.
I've noticed some bad Build strike stills too. But Fenice moved so little in its appearance that the animators took the opportunity to fill in all its detail.
