Sanity is Optional Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Still waiting for the Inevitable Mercurius and Vayeate set on the US site. Given that Wing is more popular in the US than in Japan. Quote

Painting the pilot figs is one of my favorite parts of the build although it usually ends up delaying everything because its the very last thing I do. Do you or would you take commissions on painting pilot figures? Quote

I am weak and already gave in for two sets. Cause i also have two pg phenexes.... T_T Also because pg phenex hasnt seen a us release yet, so i was afraid they might not issue the tails and go straight to the full set NT ver for US Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Saw this on another forum... https://gunpla-vr-event.bandai-hobby.net/ PG RX-78-2 Unleashed announcement Get rkt, bandai coming for that wallet... lol. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I don't normally even bother painting MG pilots because they're ridiculously small, but I gave Zechs(Milliardo?) a shot: Quote

I used to not care about painting pilots but once I gave it a try and I couldn't stop painting them. Quote
kajnrig Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I don't know how they keep getting ahead of the official announcement, but USA Gundam Store have new pics of the PG 1/60 RX-78-2 Unleashed: https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/pg-1-60-rx-78-2-unleashed-2-0 Quote
Darth Mingus Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Promotional renders of the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 are available. The renders look interesting, can't wait to get the sweet, sweet styrene in hand... To be released this december, surprisingly...27,500 Yen (Kajnrig posted as I was uploading the pictures... Spoiler Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Also supposedly it will include LED gimmicks (by default, not via add-on). I'm down for one, I skipped the first PG RX-78. Quote

badboy00z Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The only thing I don't like is the shape of the chest vents. It would look better if they swapped the chest vents around with the shorter end towards the outside. Quote
Big s Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I think the lower arms are a bit clunky looking and there seem to be details that are actually just stickers from the video description. I think I’ll wait on this one. It also looks far more traditional than the concept image a bit back. I do like the overall style, just would like to see more before buying Quote

anime52k8 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, badboy00z said: You can always paint them. lol it's more that they exist, instead of vent fins set into the chest directly that I hate. Quote
Darth Mingus Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 9 hours ago, Big s said: there seem to be details that are actually just stickers from the video description I think those details are self-adhesive photo-etch parts. There are metallic coloured ones under the vents, on the torso and in the groin area. The "3d stickers" look to be coloured, self-adhesive photo-etch. I wonder if they will scale back the kit and release a version without the photoetch and light up gimmicks, like the PG Falcon. It also looks like there are actual metal parts for the vulcans and backpack thrusters. The parts list also lists magnets for some purpose as well as a new evolution of the light up beam saber from the first PG. The first PG had an option set which had a light up beam saber, but the light emission came from the blade. In this iteration, it looks like the light comes from the hilt and you can use it to light up the backpack when the hilts are in the backpack. Quote
anubis20 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Finished MG Buster Gundam. Overall a very nice and easy kit to work on. Getting the guns into place was a little stressful and I probably wont ever combine them again Just have the Blitz and Duel to go! Quote
kajnrig Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Jesus. Who directed this video, Michael Bay? Anyway, the proportions don't look all that appealing, honestly. Actually that's a lie, it looks fine. But I'm reminded of the RG GP01, and I did not like that rendition of it at all. It's mostly the legs, I think. Not sure if it's the giant calves or what, but... eh. Well, whatever. It looks fine. Quote

Big s Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 The stickers I was complaining about are the signal ones. The easiest ones to see are on the knees. I just think that on a high priced super advanced perfect grade kit that those should at least be separate plastic or maybe should have a light gimmick. Instead they just used basic colored foil stickers Quote

I just think that on a high priced super advanced perfect grade kit that those should at least be separate plastic or maybe should have a light gimmick. Instead they just used basic colored foil stickers If you're referring to the ones on the top of the knee armor, that's a fold-out panel, there's no space behind it to have a light-up gimmick. Also having a 2-part mechanic would leave a big red part visible when it opens. Sticker seems to be the only way to get the "open hatch" gimmick to work. Quote
Big s Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 It is a thin panel, but I do think there’s enough space for at least separate color parts or could have been designed with lights in a different way. The shoulders and a few other spots have those reflectors as well Quote
