Graham Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Heh, can't remember if I got the title correct or not, but anyway the thread devoted exclusively to discussing Gundam Sentinel is back with a bang! And we start off with pictures from the new October 2003 issue of Hobby Japan of the upcoming GFF Z-Plus toys due for release in September. Note, on pic # 3, it clearly shows that the toys will come with the alternate groin pieces and back parts allowing the toy to be built as either an A1 or C1. Graham Quote
Yohsho Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 lol I just noticed that these are in Max and Millia colours. Any idea how big that thing is? Quote
Graham Posted August 24, 2003 Author Posted August 24, 2003 lol I just noticed that these are in Max and Millia colours. Any idea how big that thing is? 1/144 scale, same as all Gundam Fix Figuration (GFF) toys. Graham Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 lol I just noticed that these are in Max and Millia colours. LMAO!!! Never noticed that. Anyway, I can't wait for these to come out. Quote
Rune Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 I'm a Gundam fix fanatic.Two more to add to my collection as soon as they are released. Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 I've noticed that the FIX Z-Plus toys have little pull out winglets (fins) located on the leading edge of the main wings. These are not on the MG model kits. I'll have to check the Sentinel book when I get home tonight to see if they are shown in the lineart or not. Graham Quote
Yohsho Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Probaly its a Katoki addition. He does alot of things like that to refine stuff in the Fix Figures. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 oh yeah, definately getting those. i was impressed as hell with my FIX Ex-s TFA and Redefined Barzam/Gundam MkII. pretty sweet. Quote

Or atr you referring to something else that i'm not seeing? Quote

zephyr Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 i just have one thing to say. i think that the mobile suits in gundam sentinal are the best ive ever seen . Quote
GobotFool Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Hey will the transformations on these be dissassemble and reassemble jobs? Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Hey will the transformations on these be dissassemble and reassemble jobs? Yes, as far as I know it will basically be similar to the parts swapping method of the MSiA Zeta ver.2. Graham Quote
Smut Peddler Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) Those look great, thanks for pics G man. P.S. I believe it is you, and your toy company cohorts goal to keep us broke, and in debt for the next few years, and living off a steady diet of ramen, and the occassional bowl of rice. It is quiet clear that you are inherently evil, and should be ashamed of yourself. P.S.S. J/K of course. Edited August 25, 2003 by Smut Peddler Quote
Etrigan Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Now the question becomes: Red or Blue? RED or BLUE??! Right now I'm leaning towards red. About 20 minutes ago I wanted blue and before that it was red... tough choice. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Definitely Red for me. The Blue just doesn't cut it. Now if they had a Grey one... Hmmm... Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Any word is Bandai is giving us a fully grey Zeta C1? Maybe even a Zeta only? Quote
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I wonder if there's even a remote chance that we'll see a domestic release of Sentinel someday. Then again, I doubt most Wing fans even have the attention span to read a book, no matter how many pictures it has. Quote

Then again, I doubt most Wing fans even have the attention span to read a book, no matter how many pictures it has. Perhaps... but I bet it would be released in issues or something. Translating that book is quite the work load. <_< Quote
PC Valkyrie Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Damn Graham and his pictures. Another toy I have to get and another excuse I have to give my wife as to why. I too am a sucker for FIX figures. They are perfect for those of us who value appearance, but don't have the time/skill to make a realistic model. By the way, a Red one for me. Quote
Etrigan Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 For those curious few, I went ahead and spliced together the "fighter?" mode from Graham's pics. Quote
Etrigan Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) [EDIT] Disregard if this doesn't belong here. As an aside, the Fix 0016 Crossbones appear to be out in Hong Kong. Ebay Edited August 25, 2003 by Etrigan Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) Finally! I want those 2 soooooo bad! Edited August 25, 2003 by Abombz!! Quote
Mechafan Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Now those look nice, thanks for the picures Graham. I am glad they decided to make these transformable. I was disappointed about the EX-S Series ones. Must add these to my to get list. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 so will these two be exactly the same, just with different colors? or is there some feature that one has and the other doesn't? either way, they look great. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I think the only difference is that the Blue one is numbered 001 whereas the Red one is numbered 018. Other than that I think there are different parts to make the MSZ-006A1 and the MSZ-006C1 (basically, different guns and crotches and other features. My Sentinel book is still packed up, so I'm not sure if the Hummingbird has a different designation. Quote
rnurmin Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Ah, nice. I would definitely want one of each for my collection. Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Now the question becomes: Red or Blue?RED or BLUE??! Right now I'm leaning towards red. About 20 minutes ago I wanted blue and before that it was red... tough choice. No, no, no. The question should be not red or blue, but how many red and blue? B) Graham Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Any word is Bandai is giving us a fully grey Zeta C1? Maybe even a Zeta only? I'm sure they will. I'm mean it allows them to maximise their profits. No new tooling is involved, just a simple paint change, so it makes sense they will do this. I mean they gave us three different colors of EX-S afterall. Graham Quote

About 20 minutes ago I wanted blue and before that it was red... tough choice. No, no, no. The question should be not red or blue, but how many red and blue? B) Graham Hmmm.... I'm thinking 4.... one in each mode. Then 4 more in the other color scheme for the same thing. Quote
Graham Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 Actually, if you wanted to display one in each mode, you would need to buy 6 of each color! 1) Humming Bird WR 2) Humming Bird MS 3) C1 WR 4) C1 MS 5) A1 WR 6) A1 MS Graham Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Other then the codpiece and the lack of boosters.... the A1 and the C1 are practically the same MSs. B) Quote
Graham Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 Other then the codpiece and the lack of boosters.... the A1 and the C1 are practically the same MSs. B) Not just that, C1 usually has the BSG nose/shield. A1 usually the normal nose/shield. Graham Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I'll probably go for the red one first. Kinda funny how they're Max & Millia Z+!! Quote
