Beltane70 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 And now for the next MG: Hi-Nu Gundam! Very cool! Hopefully, this means more GCA MG kits are on the way. I'd love to see both Jagd Doga and Geara Dogo as MGs.

promethuem5 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Very cool, and potentially a very good sign... definetaly a must buy... just gotta get an MG Zabi too.
Excillon Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 and suddenly my mg nu seems so inferior................
promethuem5 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hmmm.... still doesn't do it for me. I say: bring on some teaser Hi-Nu pics!
eyesonme78 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Hey some scan shots i steal off some other forums.. heehee for you viewing.. MG strike freedom !!
magicsp00n Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Hey guys, I had a quick question. I'm in the home stretch of finishing my PG RX-78-2, and I'm looking at that sticker sheet. I know it's pretty commonly agreed that the standard Bandai stickers are not so good, but can I find custom decals for this kit anywhere? I was in Japan last week and saw plenty of MG decals in the shops, but no PG, or 1/60. Searching the web hasn't revealed much, either. Anybody know where I can get my hands on a set?

There's some sellers on ebay based in HK that sell them for a great price and since it's only decals shipping cost is low. Just search Gundam decals. That's what I did anyhow.

I really hate to brag, but the last thing I got from Devin (Anasazi31) before he shut down was a PG Gundam sticker sheet made into a decal sheet... the only thing I can think of is if you contact that one guy in the 'Shutting Down the Decal Business' thread and see if he'll do the same thing for you... scan the sticker sheet and make a decal sheet to print for you... you could even ask Devin if he'd be willing to release the digital master of the sheet ready for decal printing (which I know for a fact he still has) and then the other guy could jsut print it for you... Not sure how much this helps, but it's worth a shot.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 The Hi-Nu news is awesome. Especially in how the design work will be done by Izubuchi.
Excillon Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Why the Hi-Nu? I like it and all, but I still want to see more gundams get the MG treatment, such as the D Hell, H arms custom, Epyon, Leopard Destroy, Airmaster, X divider, V2 Gundam, Turn-A, and a Guntank along with most of the mecha in F91.
rikiryou Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 While the Hi-Nu news is great, that lineart is horrible, really. The whole thing is just wrong, namely the backpack and numerous other things which I can't quite put my finger on. Hopefully it comes to a closer semblance to its original design further down the track.

Hopefully it comes to a closer semblance to its original design further down the track. That's because Yutaka Izubuchi did the lineart, not Hajime Katoki. Hi Nu will be based on Izubuchi's drawings.
wolfx Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Pictures of the MG Sniper box. Doesn't seem like it can use the scope or able to pose with that rifle much. Oh well. http://www.moeyo.com/2006/11/post_1612.html Edited November 28, 2006 by wolfx
promethuem5 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) The RX-78[G] body is pretty crappy, so I woulnd't expect the Sniper to pose to well... that's the frame that the wrist sockets are too shallow on so the hands always pop out. They look good (I've got 2 Ground Model Gundams) but they dont pose well at all... Edited November 28, 2006 by promethuem5
godfather Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 So azrael, what are your MG predictions for next year?
azrael Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 So azrael, what are your MG predictions for next year? Haven't given it any thought at the moment (and no one has posted the power rankings since the July rankings) But I see a trend toward getting some of the manga MSs out. If Hi-Nu is coming, you can bet Nightingale is in the works. Might be done by Izubuchi instead of Katoki, like Hi-Nu, though. F90 could come as well, but I would see that as a fix to all of F91's problems with polycap-less joints. I've heard of a 1/100 Akatsuki (NG or MG) rumor, but that's about it. I'll have to think about it more though. Edit: Oops, forgot to read a thread over at Gundam Evolution. We will hit 100 MGs in 2007. Guess there will be lots of speculation about that one...
Loner Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I'm betting it'll be either some anniversary version of the RX-78-2 or a Zaku 2.0.
Zeta Otaku Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 yes, because we need yet ANOTHER version of the First Gundam. A standard Zaku II with a ver 2.0 treatment would be nice though
azrael Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 There is still talk about the Guntank. But that all it has been, talk. Some people are pinning their hopes on a MG Turn A...but that's just a hope....
Excillon Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 MG DENDROBIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, I can dream...
azrael Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 MG DENDROBIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, I can dream... I assume you're ready to bend over for that as well?
armentage Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Does the 1/100 Turn-A qualify as an MG? I don't know too much about it, but I do recall some reviews that point out all the mechanical gimmickry.
Excillon Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I assume you're ready to bend over for that as well? Yeah, and I'm not the only one.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 MG DENDROBIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, I can dream... if a 1/144 HG kit of it is over 3 feet long and costs 250-300 USD, I would hate the pricing for a 1/100 scale MG kit...but i could imagine the beautiful internal details...it'd be beautiful and deadly (to your wallet at least) and where would you put it?! man i could just imagine how heavy the box would be...the HG kit weighed something like 10-15 lbs right? dang...that's just way too much haha...
azrael Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Yes yes yes...they'd be shipping each Dendrobium in it's own freight container..... Does the 1/100 Turn-A qualify as an MG? I don't know too much about it, but I do recall some reviews that point out all the mechanical gimmickry. Nope. It's a NG (No-Grade).
Excillon Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Yes yes yes...they'd be shipping each Dendrobium in it's own freight container..... Nope. It's a NG (No-Grade). I've got a question about the "No grades". I've built PG's, MG's, Big Scales, Real Details, HG's, and 1/144's. How are these "No Grades"? I just assumed the lines like the Turn A, F90, and F91 Shilouette were just like the 1/100 High Grades. Don't get me wrong, I like High Grade kits and have several, but I'm a little wary of these No grades. Anyone built one and have any advice or input?

Don't get me wrong, I like High Grade kits and have several, but I'm a little wary of these No grades. Anyone built one and have any advice or input? The no grade Turn A I did was pretty nice (Had clear plastic beam sabers, good posability, and a pilot figure of sorts.) I know mahq has given pretty good reviews on the f91 NG. But I would still really like an MG Turn A someday as it is one of my favorite gundam designs.
azrael Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 The NGs are equivalent of HGs. But they have no "grade" scale on them. The 1/100 Seed NGs are a good example. Most of them turned out very disproportional...but then they got BEE-Craft to do the model designs and they look much better. I made the 1/100 NG Turn A and it turned out fine...minus all the panel lining.
lechuck Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 What I want: PG Nu Gundam. Nu-ff said. Seriously though, what happened to the PG line. Bandai seems to have completly dropped the ball on this one. Hi-Nu will probably be a great inclusion for the MG line.
