Never made much sense why gundams have to have the "muzzle and red chin" face design.

I mean, what does it DO? Does the face switch out?

[Ardi220288]

hmm impulse still thinking about it since I have to consider my budget (overflag have already something I must buy) and also I'm wating for other gundam 00 gunpla : nadleeh, astrea, astrea type F, Plutone, Gn Flag, Avalance Exia, and probably some fom 00v like gust kyrios , Throne Eins Turbulenz , Sadalsuud - *sigh* sometimes at the end of the year I always wondering how the heck did I buy this much gunpla

[Sir Dearka]

I've already had too much But I'd gladly buy Plutone and Sadalsuud as far as 00 kits are considered.

Does anyone have a scan of the paints required for the 1/100 Exia, or can tell me what they are please? I'm planning on getting a load of paints on Saturday, but my Exia hasn't arrived yet, and I want to get the paints then since it's not a trip I do often since it takes over an hour to get there.

Thank you

Impulse master grade comes with a replaceable core fighter section to make it compatible with the striker packs seen in this scan.

[beamknight87]

we can hope that the V2 now seems a little closer thanks to this release of the Impulse lol

Yeah thats what I mentioned a few clicks back about a Noir Impulse, Launcher Impulse, etc

One of the coolest things is having a Sword Impulse, may not be Destiny style but it's still a sword, and hey since there's 1 Excalibur with the MG Impulse it makes it two swords

[duotiga]

1/100 Astrea Type F



1/100 Tieren Ground Type



MG Shin Musha

[Astrana]

I got into the new Sangoku BB Series, anyone making these??

[Shiro-Oh!]

Damn, I thought the Musha was gonna use the new 2.0 frame; turned out to be the OYW. =P But who cares, the kit looks awesome. Another line on my list... check!

Still, though, if Gundam 2.0 really is coming out this summer, they better give us at least a picture or lineart of it or something. It's hard to budget when you don't know exactly what you're getting! XD

EDIT: Have some INAKUTO!

Spoiler:

Seriously, though, they can't get the colors right. >_>

What I don't understand is why they would do something like this. I mean, when has the Impulse ever mounted an Alliance Striker pack? The only ZAFT built Gundam I remember that could mount them was the Out Frame. Plus, the shoulder attachments on the Launcher and Sword Strikers wouldn't be able to attach to the Impulse's shoulder armor.
