Also, in addition to the link I just posted (and I'm guessing that, yes, it seems that FT is going to be released in a tankubon format)- if anyone's curious about the continued release of Gunpla connected to the novel, the MG Deathscythe Hell Custom preorders and pics are out. It's to be released in February. Here's the HLJ infopage about it: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN967078
I also have some art to share but I'll wait until this wankfest ends. I just really want to know about the FT book link. Everyone, please chill the hell out. jfc. Last edited by Kitsoru; 2010-12-12 at 23:34. Reason: nosferatu's a ninja :B |

It will, eventually. All of the Gundams are getting MG versions, as I understand it; they're to be released in 4 month intervals, I think. I had thought Heavyarms was supposed to be next but now it seems it's D-Hell instead, so I'm not sure when Heavyarms is coming out... And w/e I'll post the art anyway. Spoiler for a particularly 'space heart-y' Heero:
Spoiler for A pair of Relena portraits by RIE.:
Her blog has also been updated with a few in prog pic previews (looks like she's got a 1xR piece in the works), some Wing news (the stuff I just reported here), etc. Last edited by Kitsoru; 2010-12-13 at 00:11. Reason: 4 months, not 2, sorry |

Re-watching the series numerous times, reading supporting material and taking into account the opinions of some articulate fans over the past few years have really helped shaped my own opinion on GW's characters(Heero and Relena in particular). I'm not a fan of either of them but I'm not so blinded by fan-love that I can't step back objectively and see them for what they are. I really hope we get a new chapter from the novel or GotD to discuss this week.

Good to hear. I'm not a big fan of the suit but I'm looking forward to seeing the MG Heavyarms. It would be great if they gave it the clown mask. The Heero pic is pretty good.

The bullet belt was for the gatling cannon.
I also don't think the beam saber is the standard addition to the Heavyarms. I think the magazine was just showing the mechanics of the episode where Trowa retrofitted Heavyarms to use one. |

Oh cool, GW tankoubon. Wonder if they'll change up the cover art and whatnot. Man, I need PayPal. xD I guess this is Unicorn for the AC-verse? xD Curious about the listing too. Maybe the novel version will correct how bad Sumisawa is at math. Meh...I mostly want the pretty art.
EDIT: Are these Leos a new release? http://cgi.ebay.ph/GUNDAM-WING-LEO-S...#ht_500wt_1156 Last edited by wingzerosnuggles; 2010-12-13 at 04:08. |

Man, everytime I go to bed there will be fireworks. All of you tired of the Relena debate, please skip this post. This is mostly directed at SkullFaerie anyway.

So please chill, folks. Though SkullFaerie, if you'll allow me to advice you to pick your words more carefully in a forum that is populated by Relena supporters. Calling her an 'airhead' is bound to set some off |

All right. Thanks for the clarification. Not buying that then. I was hoping to get one of the Greifs but I'm not sure if they'll release purely FT MS. I look forward to seeing what Snow White and Warlock look like. As long as neither have Turn-A mustaches, I think things will be all good. Is Katoki designing the new MS for FT? He gave Wing Zero angel wings so I wonder if, for the new designs, he'll be that...um, literal?
As for the compilation volume, do you have any experience with them for your other releases? Are major edits and departures from the magazine versions made in the compilations? If so, would it be worth buying and scanning as a point of comparison for translation or have you found the magazine scans to be sufficient from past experience with translating Gundam novels? |

About the compilation volume- I'd like to know too if there will be differences/ eventual fixes
@MichaelKnight: CHILL. No one hates her here. Not even me. Seriously, chill. I criticized her. Get over it. It doesn't mean I hate her. @wingzerosnuggles: yes, I know they are. That's why I can understand that Relena fans like you are on their toes because she gets bashed a lot, but apparently that means criticizing her can't be done without getting accused of being a "hater" and attacked ridiculously. that's both, too funny and too bad. I repeat: I NEVER said I hate her, in fact she is the exact character type I usually LIKE (plus, I still kind of like her), but I have some issues with her. I also understand the reasoning behind some of her actions, which is why I stated that the only thing that REALLY bothered me about her was the way the writers and/or cast viewed her. Which is a problem of the way the writers chose to portray her sometimes and is easily fixed by overlooking that and dismissing it as a flaw of the time GW was made. quick points: marina: yes, she was useless xD She's another example though of a politician being carried by their name/ what they symbolize though, different from Relena she didn't do much, and Relena could totally kick her ass I felt maybe Kihel didn't get the crazy attention from the cast, at least for the first half not. I have to rewatch what happened after. (Outside of Gundam: the entire Geass cast minus Lulu, Sheryl in Macross F, or maybe Macross females minus Minmay in general come to mind spontaneously) Anyway, enough of that I never said I hated Relena, I technically like her but ALSO criticize her, that's all. @Elo: 'course heero is the main for the fandom and carries the show. Just couldn't remember if the terrorism issue had ever been brought up, because somehow it would've seemed fitting seeing the overall more serious tone of GW. Somehow it should've been conflicting with Relena's ideals (essentially working with/ supporting terrorists as sovereign of a neutral/pacifist nation) and her credibility to the outside world. But maybe that's why and where she actually did lose some public support, we don't know. It's not criticism, only a thought @IkuzeMinna: Yes, a little hypocritical, but understandable. You can't really even be neutral without making enemies, let alone yell a controversial, annoying (for the rest of the world) ideology from a mountain and expect to be safe. You don't need to have an army like Switzerland does, saying "we're neutral you got a problem? We kick your ass!" but at least be able to defend your people- they shouldn't have to potentially die because of your groundbreaking idealism. This is where King Peacecraft screwed up and Relena did well- despite being criticized a bit. Thanks for understanding my viewpoint/ recognizing I'm only criticizing her :s About the airhead- issue: It didn't seem like such a problem to me, since it was only directed at the way she seemed to be at school- extremely popular, bratty etc- then we get proven wrong about that impression. It's good- it's similar to Sheryl, or Fllay, and I loved both of their developments. So I didn't even mean it in a bad way Peace? |
