Black Valkyrie Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 From Guntoa : Tokyo International Anime Fair report part 2 Miasora has a report and pictures from the 2006 Tokyo Anime Fair.
Legend of TSXer Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Curse the 1/144 Akatsuki....it tortures me.... Kool pics. I really like the SD Destiny. Pretty kool. I think Ima get one for my friend's birthday since he loves the Destiny. Im glad to see the 1/100 IJ.
azrael Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 More goodness from Gunota: New formal announcements:HG Strike Noir (June, 1,575 yen) 1/100 Legend Gundam (June, 2,730 yen) HCM-Pro Zeta Gundam (Green Divers ver., May, 2,520 yen) HG kits for new Stargazer MS will be made through 2007. More CCA HCM-Pro figures will appear.
haro genki Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) I hope now that Zeta trilogy is over, Bandai doesn't start slowing down the Z HG line... these Z Gundam HGs were great, what with their nifty transformability and stands I'm still hoping a HG Messala gets released...

Man Bandai are on a spree. We need a Gaia and Abyss as well in 1/100, to complete the set. And some PLAUSIBLE scale of the Destroy too in HG. I don't like the Abyss, but the Gaia is a must. It's probably the most original suit of the CE, and Destiy in general. Edited April 5, 2006 by kensei
kensei Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 This is weird. Looks like one of the old UC shows, but this MG has a light up sabre. How cool is that?
wolfx Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 AHh...the MG gyan....most unlikely MS to get the MG treatment but it did.
zeo-mare Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I noticed the light up beam saber alittle bit ago , i think that is very cool, we need more stuff like that on these kits. chris
Shmitty Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Some of you may remember back during the summer I had discussed my plans to do a Johnny Ridden custom of a PG Zaku acquired from Amazon's crazy sale. Well, it took me a while to finally get around to it, but I finally finished it a couple of days ago and wanted to show you guys how it turned out. It looks pretty boss if you ask me. It's not the best paint job ever, but its so far my best. PICS!
kensei Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) That's pretty damn good! I can't see a flaw in the paintjob anywhere. Well done! Check this one out guys....it's the ad for the Legend. Edited April 8, 2006 by kensei
treatment Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) accidentally posted this to the Gundam Figures-thread. D'oh! anyway... I haven't seen this posted, yet, but I figure it should be posted here since this is the Gundam Model thread: http://youtube.com/watch?v=86B_EJQf_yg It's the Suzumiya-ending (Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuuutsu) done in GUNDAM model/figure style. enjoy, anyway! Here's the original Suzumiya-ending for comparison and stuff: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WXZw2szFGtY Edited April 9, 2006 by treatment
Shmitty Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) Smitty! Dude! That Zak looks great! 389072[/snapback] Thanks man! In other news, I managed to miss some of the cooler pics, I guess they didn't upload or something. Anyway, the "lost" pictures: And if anyone is wondering, I colored the eye and scope peices with sharpie. It works wonders as long as you don't touch it. Edited April 9, 2006 by Shmitty
port Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I love the colors. It's a real nice finish! Looks smooth. The leg engine assembly looks nice. You should try a light black wash on it. It would bring all that detail out with out it looking weathered .
promethuem5 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I agree. Smooth and clean, but maybe a tad too clean and a little flat? A little wash or something would be great... And Dave, I've got not 1, but 2 Zaku IIs to show you soon (one F2 and one original.) EDIT: And MAN I wish I had nabbed on of the uber amazon sale Zaku II PGs..... Edited April 11, 2006 by promethuem5

It would bring all that detail out with out it looking weathered . 389836[/snapback] There actually is a good deal of black showing through on the engines, but it's hard to tell because of the flash. I agree. Smooth and clean, but maybe a tad too clean and a little flat? A little wash or something would be great...And Dave, I've got not 1, but 2 Zaku IIs to show you soon  (one F2 and one original.) EDIT: And MAN I wish I had nabbed on of the uber amazon sale Zaku II PGs..... 389844[/snapback] And, I figured I would scuff it up a bit around the edges. ya know, bottom of the feet, elbows, hands a bit more. Probably the ends of the skirt armor, and ankles. I got this cool aluminum color for it. It's kind of a blue silver. I'll probably just dry brush it, it worked pretty well on my ground types. Anyway, look forward to some "use" marks later this week I hope.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 From Guntoa : Gunpla rumors According to Plamoya-san's Useless Diary, following are rumors of future Gunpla releases after June. Below are considered somewhat reliable: HGUC Zudah (from MS IGLOO) HGUC Zaku I (color variation) MG Gundam F91 These are rumors: HGUC Nu Gundam HGUC ZZ Gundam MG Guntank Again take this with grain of salt.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 As for the MG Gyan light up sabre neet idea, I wish all the Gunpla had it.
zeo-mare Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 those are all great ones, i have always wanted a MG Guntank, the Zudah sounds neat to, they just released a B-club one not that long ago which looked like crap. now we get the possibility of a HGUC one , once again i feel sorry for those who spent about $150.00 on that version. the MG F-91 sounds cool to.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 Its a good thing I only buy HG kits.
azrael Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Finally...I can add something from F91 to my collection.
azrael Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Today's scans: ____ HGUC EMS-10 Zudah HG Akatsuki w/Oowashi pack
zeo-mare Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 oh wow that is sad, the Zudah looks great and far superior to the just released and major expensive B-club one, i feel sorry once again for those people out there that bought that version, i am having flash backs of what they just did with the MG Nemo, there is almost no point in buying b-club anymore within a month they end up releasing a MG or Hguc for a fraction of the price with better details. chris
Skull Leader Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) *sigh* what in the hell does a guy have to do for some Gundam X HGUC stuff? (the HG kits in 1/144 and 1/100 are "passable", but they could get so much better) Edited April 21, 2006 by Skull Leader

Skull Leader Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Wait till they stop milking Seed, Zeta and Igloo. 393125[/snapback] I suppose "newest and hottest" takes preference in bandai's mind over a 15 year old AC story... I know I'm in the minority that really likes X, can't help but wish I guess.
zeo-mare Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Besides pulling down your pants? Wait till they stop milking Seed, Zeta and Igloo. 393125[/snapback] ouch you are going to have a long wait now with the new gundam seed series coming out (stargazers, sp?), there will be tons of that coming out. plus what ever else they decide to make, we are probably not going to see any X stuff for a few more years.
Jolly Rogers Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 *sigh* what in the hell does a guy have to do for some Gundam X HGUC stuff? (the HG kits in 1/144 and 1/100 are "passable", but they could get so much better) 393122[/snapback] Gundam X is not from Universal Century so the chance of seeing Gundam X HGUC stuff is 0%.
promethuem5 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 It's kits like the Zudah that make me wish I did HGUC instead of MG sometimes...
azrael Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 There is a chance they may bring out 1 MG...like maybe a MG Gundam X for the sake of just putting out a new model...but who knows when that will happen. Look at F91...we finally see signs of a MG now...
Guppy Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) didn't want to start a new thread for something this boring, but I had an idea to do a desert version of the MG Kampher. I'm gonna dry brush some dirt and rust on him, as he would probably be a heavy-use ground unit. Sorry for bad pics. It wasn't the best idea to take a photo of a brown model in front of a brown wall. Edited April 22, 2006 by Guppy
promethuem5 Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Looks nice. I must admit that, while I don't know why, I just don't like the Khampfer design at all....
