Wow, that Duel looks sexy with or without the Shroud. Can’t wait to have it to pose un-armored holding the Railgun like it supposed to. Too bad it never happened in the anime. Oh yeah, I also hope that it can stand firm with the Shroud (that clear blocks makes the kit a little bit suspicious ).

i still love that they give us the big rifle of the duel that the folks of ZAFT didnt take with them when they stole the suit from heliopolis^^ that thing looks badass!
considering how much you get with this kit i think 3360 yen at HLJ is a REALLY good price. if the model itself doesnt suffer from bandais new kit design then i really am all for their new stategy! |

when you think about it then the duel is actually a lot closer to the RX-78-2 than any other gundam in SEED :P its weapons loadout is the same and its exra "full armor" equipment is very similar as well, even down to the shoulder cannon! the only realy difference is the color scheme^^

On the note about Mechwarrior, it's a shame you don't see reverse joint bipedals in gundam, I love chicken walkers
The Mad Cat is my favorite from Mech warrior and I use reverse joint legs whenever I can in stuff like Armoured Core. Of course stuff like them wouldn't be as agile as normal bipedals but still cool to see none the less.

It has appeared in animated form at least once though, in the Gundam Evolve 8 short: And here's a couple of images of it from the PG Strike's manual: Spoiler for PG Strike Gundam:
So yes, it is in fact part of the SEED verse.

Still, I agree with your opinion that Duel is the SEEDverse's RX-78-2. They have a lot in common. Oh yeah, about the big Railgun (the official name is Bazooka Striker, I believe) on MG Duel, though we kinda have that already with 1/100 Regen Duel, its still fun to finally have the original Duel wields its original weapon. Also, if I want to pose the MG Duel with the Shroud, I can always give the Railgun to the 1/100 Duel to be used.

I never ever thought I'd see a model of the Xamel(and it just occured to me that I never thought to google it) but glad someone out there shares a fondness for it.
YMS-16M Xamel - Scratch Build Well tbh the only reason I have a fondness for it is cause I mostly remember it for it's huge big ass gun and ass so to speak I never found appeal in the The O but I do like the Xamel. Still for these big bulky types of mecha I'd like to see a MG Nightingale over the rest. Gotta pit something against the Hi-Nu

I'm also wondering if Ol' Strikes striker packs (mainly sword and blast) will fit on the shoulders, since they appear similar
