Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

[calubin_175]

I am really looking forward to the 1/2000 Yamato line.

They may still make an SoC Andromeda 2202 but non-scale at 42cm though.

[anime52k8]

To me Metal build is basically just GFFMC without Katoki. The GFF line was always the Ver. Ka toy line; Metal build was effectively just a continuation of what the GFFMC sub line was doing only without Katoki styling. I feel like the areas where Metal Build has been better (more diecast, better articulation, etc.) are more to do with what suits each line has done and the fact that Metal Build are newer (IIRC, wing zero is going to be the first completely new GFFMC since the metal build line was introduced).

Look at the detail on those wings . 

My PG Wing Zero just keeps looking worse over time.  Sigh, think I'll have to get both the High-Res and the GFF... (never did buy the MG, and the RG is basically lacking the multi-tone coloring that defines RG to me)

[brannon]

I've never liked the design of any model or toy wing zero they just never caught my attention. Gundam wing introduced me to gundam so I always wanted a wing zero I think I'm gonna jump in with this wing zero. It looks really good to me.

The mold looks awesome, but I really hope they don't go the route of that super shiny candy-finish looking paint-scheme, especially since GFFMC are usually finished in matte. 

 

[F360]

The that thick candy-finish look is probably because they actually did a quick paint work on the sample. 

GFFMC has been using a glossy light Prism coating on pretty much all their Unicorn releases.  micro glitters here ,there, everywhere.  I think the last one with matte finish was the rx-78-2 origin reissue.

I'd prefer matte to glossy metallic, but awesome is still awesome so I'm getting it either way. I'd also really like a GFFMC Nu Gundam, but that's neither here nor there.

[Kanedas Bike]

Yeah, GFFMC Wing looks pretty good, it'll be on my "buy" list.

Appreciate all of the insight posted, I know next to nothing about any Gundam beyond what's released in the Metal Build line.

-b.

If they make a Nu gundam in GFFMC , MB or Hi-Res . It will be instant buy.  If its MB , im sure they will have effects and extra funnels for option part.

I wonder if they plan on making a Metal Robot ver.

[Archer]

That picture F360 posted looks really good, regardless of Candy finish. I am definitely in for one! Get to re-live all that Gundam Wing elementary school-era angst. 

[Eslim109]

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I only own Metal Builds so I was curious to know more about the GFFMC line with the new Wing Zero being revealed. I'll be ordering it when it comes out on preorder but just wanted some insight on what I would be getting myself into haha.

I want a GFFMC Nu because I want it to look like the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. That thing is sexy.

METAL ROBOT-Tamahii "00 RAISER with GN SWORD lll"

Due to the plan anime styling , it looks very lacking in tempo and detail in this small figure.  But they really put tons of diecast on this one, and it's very poseable.

The display base/stand is very nice too.

no update on that yet, but since it's wing you should see the announced date all over the place when they do.  someone will post it here for sure.

it will give you plenty of time to get ready for preorder night.  which I always recommend showing up.

[F360]

wait a minute. more anime style Metal robot? 

 

[F360]

and the one that's coming out in july.

[brannon]

I got that on preorder ^ can't wait

[anime52k8]

I don't and it makes me sad. 

[Archer]

I'm still seeing F91 MB available to "reasonable" prices on eBay and what-not. Seems like Bandai may be producing more product now? 

Hopefully this trend continues for Wing Zero

[F360]

I hope so, because Wing Zero is much more popular in the USA than F91.

[chyll2]

if I understand the market correctly, Wing Zero is popular everwhere except in Japan.

[kajnrig]

Wing Zero is popular (EDIT: in Japan), just not the rest of the Boy Band.

Seeing that Metal Damashii's 00 Gundam will have XN-Raiser release soon, hope they make one for the Metal Build counterpart. Wouldn't mind if it's a TWE release though. I mean, they did all that extra big parts with the Red Astray, why can't they do it in 00 Raiser?

they are making a MG version too , so its very likely they will do TWE option parts release of it too.

Yeah, I hope so too. Don't want Bandai to get beat down by Metal Saga and MoShow again.
