F-ZeroOne Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Why is it carrying a Colonial Marines assault rifle? Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 You are forgetting also Sazabi has the same type of rifle . Quote
Grand Admiral Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Heh, it sure does look similar to the M-41. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 You are forgetting also Sazabi has the same type of rifle . I think Amuro had slashed it in half with a beam sabre before I got a good look at it. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 RD O Gundam official colors has been revealed ! ... Can we have the original MSG theme please. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) don't know if this has been posted already and if this is the right thread... just thought it cool... Life-size RX-78-2 Gundam for Bandai's 30th Anniv. pics courtesy of V2 Edited March 12, 2009 by m0n5t3r Quote
transfan52 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 The only gundam figure im interested in right now is the upcoming GFFN aile strike gundam. Its due out this june or july, there are no prototype pics atm but im sure this will be the best detailed and most sturdy figure you can get. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 From Ngeekhiong : Tamashii 2009 upcoming Gundam merchandise & one unexpected. Quote
transfan52 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 From Ngeekhiong : Tamashii 2009 upcoming Gundam merchandise & one unexpected. WOW that 1/35 RX-78-2 is impressive it has both size and detail! That thing will cost a fortune I bet. It seems as though the robot damashii line is focusing on 00 atm which is fine... IMO the new gundam designs are getting kinda crazy atm... Most of the mecha from 00 look nothing like a traditional gundam mecha. Nothing really new to the table IMO unless your into gundam 00 which I really don't care for atm. Im curious to see what figures come out of the upcoming U.C. side story game... those look interesting. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Is the 1/35th RX-78-2 Kai an extension of the FIX Figuration series? That looks pretty sweet! Quote
transfan52 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Is the 1/35th RX-78-2 Kai an extension of the FIX Figuration series? That looks pretty sweet! From what I hear its not going into mass production and will only be a display piece for local shops in the area. This thing is probably close to 1000 USD so I doubt there's a huge public market for it ne way. Quote
Chet Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 That's quite a deluge of Zeonography and OO Region figures. I take it these won't be getting the diecast treatment that GFFN has? I wonder if they will at least get Frame Model skeletons, though? Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I'm not even sure they will be released. There's a site with a translation saying something like "GFF vision that was failed to release." And with no date set, who know where they may end up. Hopefully they will, some great MSV stuff! Quote
emerson Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Been seeing a lot of bitching about the two new Metal Composite Zeta Plus figures...apparently all the white portions are bare, shiny plastic, making these high-end pieces look decidedly cheap. Anyone hear can confirm or deny? Quote

Anyone hear can confirm or deny? Yes, heard a lot of people in Toysdaily form have the same comments about getting 'cheap' feeling about this 'expensive' toy. Quote
sidearmsalpha Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Yes, heard a lot of people in Toysdaily form have the same comments about getting 'cheap' feeling about this 'expensive' toy. Damn, that really sucks. I was really looking forward to these. I guess I'll stick with the plastic ones. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Custom O Gundam coming soon ! Quote
emerson Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Damn, that really sucks. I was really looking forward to these. I guess I'll stick with the plastic ones. Well, there's some rationalization going on that since this is a transforming Gundam, the matte white paint might easily rub and discolor. That was a common complaint on the RX-78-2, which didn't even transform. I can personally vouch for this....when I first placed the gun in the right hand, the gun rubbed the white forearm and left a noticeable smudge. Of course, that begs the question of why Bandai's such a fan of shiny plastic? I much prefer the matte plastic that Yamato uses in its products. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Custom O Gundam coming soon ! Here it is, Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 You see I have a problem, Star Wars don`t like me and I don't like Star Wars, he he he. Quote
Chindenathus Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Of course, that begs the question of why Bandai's such a fan of shiny plastic? I much prefer the matte plastic that Yamato uses in its products. The "matte" plastic you mention is molded with a micro texture that makes it chaotically reflective thereby; matte. This is all well and good till you rub it with anything as harder or harder than a fingernail. If this happens it is near impossible to buff the scratch out because it makes more of the plastic shiny. The way I see it is. if the only thing folks find to complain about is the plastic's texture then the price of these these two are money well spent. If you like the Zeta Plus series designs that is.

If this happens it is near impossible to buff the scratch out because it makes more of the plastic shiny. Although I prefer the matte look, I've read elsewhere that matte plastic or paint tends to capture dirt/grime from your fingers more readily. Quote
Chindenathus Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 http://robotjapan.proboards.com/index.cgi?...mp;thread=14299 Looks pretty schweet to me. I'm digging the Blue version over the Red. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Didn't expect that it would be produced ever again. Quote
Chet Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, a few days ago, even the green one was still in stock. Truly some of the best Gundam toys ever made. Period. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 Indeed, some of my friends have them and what a beauty they are, especially the RX-78-2. I wish Bandai would produce some chogokin MSG00, starting with O Gundam . Quote
todd77 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Indeed, some of my friends have them and what a beauty they are, especially the RX-78-2. I wish Bandai would produce some chogokin MSG00, starting with O Gundam . I have it and I can attest to its beauty - it really captures the spirit of the original design. And those sexy legs... Too bad though, the hip / waist blocks on mine on both sides are pretty loose, making it difficult to hold more dynamic poses. Any idea on how to fix this? Edited April 8, 2009 by todd77 Quote
Chindenathus Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I got my Red and Blue Metal Composite Zetas and they are pretty awesome. My Blue one has a problem though. The "pitot tube" like sensor was busted on delivery. It fell off when I picked it up from the tray. Any pointers on how to get this fixed and/or replaced? The part I am talking about is circled in the image below. Quote
Graham Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 The Z-Plus is one of the very few Gundams that I actually like enough to spash out money on a high-end toy. I really don't like the red & white & blue & white schemes, so won't be picking this up. I really hope Bandai releases this Grey version, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. However, they didn't release the grey version with the original Z-Plus GFFs, so I'm not holding out too much hope. Graham Quote
