GRAND CANNON

I concur: 0080 , 08th MS , MS igLoo , CCA.

Like Graham, I was also 7 and saw Star Wars with my family. Remember looking up through the rear window in my dad's Caddy looking at the stars and imaging the Falcon up there somewhere. Then getting into deep' discussions with classmates on how C-3P0 was real and not just a guy in a suit. Oh, and don't foget the crush on Princess Leia. One of the next times I saw it was at a drive-in double feature with another Mark Hamill film, Corvette Summer, a year or so later. Also remember the packed theaters on the opening days of ESB and ROTJ........ahhh the innocence of the planet back then.....

Its actually a "three-fer": ------- â€HIGH MOBILITY ZAKU EX†( MS-06R-2 High Mobility Zaku II (Robert Gilliam’s Custom) , MS-06R-2 High Mobility Zaku II (Gaby Hazard’s Custom) , MS-06R-2P High Mobility Zaku II (Elliot Lem’s Custom)) (8/2007) Speaking of Zakus.........I'm not sure where these originated from, but here's a Zeonography Zaku with a multi-personality disorder.....

Here's the full page scan, but I do not know if the others on the pages are toys or kits either. The 1/60 scale made me assume they were the toys, but we all now where assumptions may get you....

Probably old news because I have not been keeping up with this thread, but I came across Nora's SV-51 while looking at the July Model Graphix:

And that just messes with the numbering system even more. If that states the Psyco is #1002, then I'm guessing the GS may be #1001a? Meh, we'll see this summer. Will also be interesting if they hit other larger suits as metal 1/144 scale......or even break into a Zeonography Metal Composite line.

Looks great! No beam holes or saber scars? You're not getting all conservative with age are you?

I think that is only art from the Gundam Ace monthly and not actually a GFF release. I believe there's a section inside where they spotlight a different mobile suit each month. Not a bad little Re-GZ variant, though.

Anyone here able to seed Shinsen's episodes 9 & 10? Or maybe upload them to a direct-download site? I'm trying to catch up and I've got all, but 9 and 10. **EDIT -- Disregard.....got them going!**

I agree. Looks and sounds good. And even though OPs are supposed to, I get a feeling the show will also be as good. Any inside info on a group picking this up?

In February, the Turn A site was activated to celebrate the upcoming releases of the DVD Memorial Box Sets starting this month. This could easliy be complemented with associated Gunpla releases. http://www.turn-a-gundam.net/

Everybody now......Sing it Loud! Sing it Proud! "Turn A, turn! Turn A, turn! TURN AAAAAAAAAA!!!!" ...or I'll accept a Guntank!

Thankfully it's only a limited kit, though.

Some more scans ofthe HCM Pro Destroy. I don't think the shot with the Freedom are HCM Pros, but at least you can see a size reference:

Let the MSIA Akatsuki galleries begin: http://www.geocities.jp/rx78_mia/akatsukio.htm and a nice scan of the 'Super' HCM Pro from CoM:

Now that's just wrong!

Because it's a 'Limited' kit, it's not part of the countdown. Man, do I hope that #100 is more than a Gundam v2.

Yes, 2-3 times taller than any other releases would make it the tallest to date. This may open up the HCM-Pro line to other 'biggees'.

We have the in-between kits until MG #100 arrives in August: I'm very interested in what they do to the Gelgoog. *edit* Early (small) pics:

Also.......Via Gunota: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 Bandai Museum to close It is official as Bandai Museum's site has announced it will officially close on Aug 31. Currently located at Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, Bandai will open a brand new cultural facility, "Toytown Bandai Museum", next year at Mibu, Tochigi Prefecture. Meanwhile, part of the Gundam Museum exhibit will relocate to Bandai Hobby Center in Shizuoka. ¶ 4:24 AM

How about Katoki's Musha from the new Gundam Musou game:

One thing of note is the fact that the Zeta 3 in April is 98 and 100 is coming in August.......that means only one MG inside the 4 months. Maybe it'll be a 2-piece set for such a lengthy release gap. Only definite thing is that there will be plenty of time to speculate........

Upon closer look, it also looks like the core fighter (torso) is die-cast, too.
