Gundam Plamodel Thread IV

[David Hingtgen]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Zeta 3 being pink. Man, I wanted that one most of all. (If if was properly purple).

[Big s]

I finally got the hguc prototype dom in the mail and I am really happy with what I see in the box. I'm extremely backloged, but this one may get bumped ahead in line. A lot of the hg gundam kits have cut corners lately so I was happy to see an open palm hand and the feet didn't have any open gaps at the bottom. The only complaint I have is the same complaint I have always had about hg gundam kits, that there are no waterslides decal options. The sticker designs look great, but I hate stickers.

The finished pictures of the kit look fantastic so I can't wait to build it. I will probably do a custom color on it and maybe get another in the small hopes of a waterslide set coming out or maybe getting some printed using the stickers as a master.

Here's a cheap re-enactment of episode 10 of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team.

I, too, have an HG Ez8 and Gouf Custom, and they have stood like this for years:

*the official spelling is Kergeren, though that's probably a mistranslation of Kerguelen, an island claimed by France

[dizman]

Still my favorite fight of all the series, great job guys now I have to go watch it again.

Rage on, Gundam.

[Big s]

That video was kinda scary.

[SchizophrenicMC]

Slender and Denim, but what, no Jean?

[areaseven]

Slender and Denim, but what, no Jean?

Gene probably wasn't enlisted until way later on during the One Year War (either before or after the Battle of Loum).

[electric indigo]

My Avalanche Exia has legs now.

Slender and Denim, but what, no Jean?

The next Dom recolor will be for "Husky."

[dizman]

Gotta love obscure repaints, I would be down for an origin GM in Lila and Yazan colors if they ever decide to make them.

[areaseven]

Also announced:

HG Gundam The Origin 1/144 RX-78-01[N] Gundam Local Type

[Big s]

Any one have info on that gundam design. It looks more advanced than a rx78-2.

[kajnrig]

Does the "Ver Ka" moniker mean that it's using the Ver. Ka as a base kit? Or was the Thunderbolt FA Gundam designed by Katoki?

[Hikuro]

such bullcrap, they'll make a Gundam origins MSD Gundam type HG but not an actual RX-78-2 to go with my other HGUCO kits!

[Big s]

To be honest I don't think we need the origins 78-2 right away. It will happen.

I want to see more of these obscure designs and prototypes and zeon mecha. I would like to see early guncannon and gm designs as well.

CURSE YOU P-BANDAI

[dizman]

"Muwahaha we'll make a slight retool of the Command Type GM and make it a P-Bandai exclusive so the people who have been waiting for this must pay double, we'll make millions!" Bandai Execs

[areaseven]

At least it's cheaper than the B-Club conversion kit.

[chyll2]

Bandai actually don't earn double with premium releases. It is the multiple handling and Mark up for each handlers that causes it to swell up.

[electric indigo]

At least they could have provided some proper Ver.Ka feet!

[lechuck]

Nobody interested in the other two P-Bandai releases?

First is the OVA/TV version of the Geara Doga

Second is the Zeta Plus A1, heavy reuse of the Master Grade C1 I would say.

Prominently missing of course is the Beam Smart Gun and the propellant tanks on the the Wing Binders.

But I do like the red eyes (instead of blue on C1) and and the alternate white sensor dome.

[seti88]

Nice to see some MG love again, even if they are P-bandai. The Zeta plus looks different enough but i thk the GD need not need a P-Bandai release.....

The thunderbolt MG's sound interesting although it would be a lot of plastic. Might get bored with the repetitive shields ....

The other MG 1/100 of interest is the trooper though, waiting to see what gimmicks it has...

Let's see how the FA Gundam looks with the gazillion of Katoki labels on it...
