Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

[eggy99]

The yellow parts look to be all gold chrome now.

Hard to tell if anything else is changed.

The misaligned right shoulder really irks me. Haha. 

Do we really need another Exia? I have Exia, R1 Repair, and trans am versions and that is enough for me.

Hi-Resolution Model 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero Custom EW 

Release date 09-30-17

[Kuma Style]

That model looks amazing. 

Re: mb exia renewal - white is pearl, blue is iridescent, yellow is gold, discs are different colored,  and the paint finishes are Normandy flaked for a metallic look. It's completely different.

It will most likely be an event exclusive similar to the MB Heine custom.  

But with enough demand, they will probably post it on P-Bandai site at a later date.

Gonna get to work on it this weekend, but those are a TON of runners...

After putting the stand together, note to self: ABS plastic. Knife, even a dull one, goes through it very easily. Must take care in future.

No WIP pics (sorry), and I still have the arms, weapons, and Dash parts to build, but my early opinion:

Unless you're willing to put elbow grease into making parts fit, just get the Metal Build or the Turris Babel as Noel suggested. This kit needs a LOT of minor tweaks here and there to get things fitting properly (something I should have expected, since this is a third party with lower quality standards than something Bandai would put out; it's been a loooong time since I bought a third-party kit). I had to whip out the knives, nippers, saws, pin vise and drill bits, and I'll need to eventually get one of the various joint tighteners (superglue, epoxy, floor polish, etc.) to fix a mistake I made fixing the kit's mistakes.

It's a laborious process, though the end product is certainly worth the effort, especially for someone like me who likes the building process. If you want something that looks good and plays good, just get the premade figures. The extra cost will be well worth it.

I'll probably buy this as long that it doesn't look like the Metal Build design and it's somehow in-line with the RD Freedom Gundam.

does the GN drive have an LED, i'd rebuy!

Hey David. If you did rebuy are you going to sell one of your regular ones?

I grabbed another copy this morning from amiami as I had a fig in stock notification. 

[Sandman]

Damn missed it. Looks like it was a decent price.

[F360]

Im surprise they were able to get some extra stock for an sold out item thats released 2 months ago.

I believe that's the regular MSRP for it.

I was tempted to order a second one around 430am when I saw my FIS notification. But didn't. Hehehe.

If it were a 00 Raiser reissue, I'll bite.

 

[Kuma Style]

I just need a Raiser in my life.

There's the KO Metal Gear Club 00 Raiser. Which is 1/3 of the original price out there. I have one but it also nice to have a legit one too somehow.

 

[F360]

Going to be a web exclusive,

can change into exia 1 , 2 and 3

[davidwhangchoi]

where's the cape and broken arm?

[kajnrig]

The "exia 1" means Exia, not Exia Repair (which is dumb that it gets its own name and model number and everything, like it's literally just the Exia beat to crap and junkyarded back to barely working condition, c'mon people).

Included:
- GN-001 Exia
- GN-001REII Exia Repair II
- GN-001REIII Exia Repair III

Not:
- GN-001RE Exia Repair

I see. So it's basically a repaint, repackaged of the first Exia figure. Easy pass for me even though I only collect Setsuna's units in MB form.

It also comes with Exia repair II parts which the normal MB exia does not.

Right. I forgot those parts.

 

[Sandman]

What's the difference in color from the previous exia release? I don't have one. Will try to get this one unless the color is way off.

More shiny. Probably pearlescent effect esp on the whites. The yellow parts on the chest and the chest fins are now colored in gold ting rather than yellow.

This is the first Exia:

 

The 10th Anniversary:

[Sandman]

Thanks. I think I'm ok with the new color. I'll probably order it if I can.

[Loop]

I have enough Exia's, but I will probably get this.

[F360]

I hope it'll be up at the US-P-Bandai site and that their Limit is more than 1.

And the price?  maybe 24000 yen?

i'm curious what the price is too

[davidwhangchoi]

21000 yen

 

will be sold on web shop after the tamashii soul nations event

Damn it, buying another P-bandai Metal Build, I doubt it will be available from P-Bandai US. Since it is being sold at an event and then the web store I am guessing it won't be a pre-order? I imagine they will be actual units at the event and the web store will sell off the remaining ones. 

[chyll2]

The last time it happened, we got flooded with destiny Heine

[dizman]

I figured they would make the Harrison Martin F-91 MB eventually, I gotta stay strong and resist the urge to buy!

Awesome! Glad it'll be relatively easy to grab. I love the Exia so this is an instant buy. I still have 1 on display and two MISB.

And I'm kind of hoping the limit is only 1, that way I won't be tempted and/or get pre-order envy on those that get multiples. lol
