electric indigo Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 The RG Unicorn will have to be transformable to one-up the HG. We haven't seen much of the planned RG Quan[T] lately, btw. Quote
dizman Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, yay, more RG UC kits! But the HG Sinanju and HG Unicorn were both pretty good kits already, and like others have said there are kits that need better 1/144 representations, like Nu, GP-02, and Alex. I'd assume that Unicorn HG's are still selling so they are playing it safe instead of releasing some of the older designs that newer fans don't care about. Still waiting on the RG Gouf custom (or a regular one) Bandai! Quote
mikeszekely Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'd assume that Unicorn HG's are still selling so they are playing it safe instead of releasing some of the older designs that newer fans don't care about. They released the Z'Gok, didn't they? And Jegans were in Unicorn. I'd imagine an RG Alex or Nu would sell gangbusters. Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 They released the Z'Gok, didn't they? And Jegans were in Unicorn. I'd imagine an RG Alex or Nu would sell gangbusters. That's because the Z'Gok is the greatest MS of all time; and is clearly superior to Alex or Nu gundam. Quote
mikeszekely Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 That's because the Z'Gok is the greatest MS of all time Barzam's giant vernier crotch would beg to differ. Quote
Big s Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I think the unicorn is the smart choice here. As fidgety as it sounds they will probably go transformable on it. They did do a zeta with a head transformation. I personally would rather see the other 2 choices, but with rg they usually go with the gundam first. Have they ever done a support good guy yet? Not counting a re color for rg. Quote

Not counting a re color for rg. Nope. It looks like Bandai has no interest in giving the GM an RG kit. For now, the only available grunt is the good ol' Zaku II. (And yes, Bandai sucks for making the standard Z'Gok a P-Bandai exclusive.) Quote
Big s Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 To me the green zaku still falls under the recolor category. Quote
mikeszekely Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 To me the green zaku still falls under the recolor category. At least it wasn't a P-Bandai like the Z'Gok. But I'm with you... more RG grunts! RG GM! RG Nemo! RG Dom! RG Marasai! Quote
seti88 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Cmon RG GP 02 dangit! I dont have the skills to mod the HG.. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I'm down for anything Unicorn, but I haven't had a very good track record with RGs thus far. Quote
areaseven Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I'm surprised Bandai has ignored G Gundam, as the RG frame is perfect for martial arts poses. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Japan in general has tried to ignore G Gundam. Besides, I can hardly get an RG to stay standing on both feet, let alone in partial arts poses on one foot. Quote
twich Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Hello, Since this is a thread about Gunpla, I thought I would post a few pictures of my collection. I know that the photos are not the best quality, but I particularly like my PG Wing Gundam that my wife panel lined for me. I too have difficulty getting the RG kits to stand, especially the Gundam Strije Aile Pack. Twich Quote
electric indigo Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Quan[T]um Leap! Still need to paint a few parts & add markings. The Gundam Decals sheet for the this kit is great! Very thin film and works perfect with my setting solution. And great graphics on top, they really bring the design to life. Quote
hal9000 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Slow weekend so I hit up the local hobby shop and found this guy.

F360 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) No pink? That's a huge omission for the Gundam-verse. yeah, looks like just 3 color for now, I'm surprise Bandai didn't make these yet. (not including their 1/60 PG zeta) since the color is just attached on, I wonder if you can just place a pink one on it. Also they come with clear ones so perhaps a coat of clear pink on those. yowsers are they making batteries that small nowadays...wait does it come w tha long metal battery?

seti88 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Wow I didnt know these existed! thanks for the tip! They look like a real fit for lighting sabers and dare i say it even insides of mecha... And here i was trying to look for some lighting solutions for star wars kits... I wonder how long would these batteries last and if they can be replaced easily. If not then probably have to track down a fishing supply shop Edited February 25, 2016 by seti88 Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 In celebration of the Blu-ray release of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Bandai is milking a couple of HGUC kits. Bandai Hobby Online Shop: HGUC 1/144 Gerbera Tetra (Roll-Out Ver.) & Dra-C Custom any 0083 news is good. Quote
Big s Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I might have payed for the gerbera tetra if they fixed the feet. I know it's not seen much, but the hg's before had the better bottoms to the feet and the open spaces just bug me. Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 any 0083 news is good. When are they going to re-release the 1/144 Dendrobium? I still need to get one. Quote
dizman Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I thought I read that it was getting a reissue soon (maybe on gundam guy blog?) but a quick look online and I couldn't find any news. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 The glowing cuts is what really sells it. Quote
Big s Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 That diorama is just amazing, the creator should be proud and earned his daily doughnut with sprinkles. Quote
areaseven Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 So this is what it looks like in traditional Gundam colors. MG 1/100 Unicorn Gundam in RX-78-2 Colors Quote
