no3Ljm Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I wonder if they're going to do a Chogokin version. BB RX-93FF Y1650 Entry Grade RX-93FF Y1430 Real Grade RX-93FF Y4950 Quote

BB RX-93FF Y1650 Entry Grade RX-93FF Y1430 Real Grade RX-93FF Y4950 Chogokin would be nice, but currently I am more annoyed and irritated that Bandai doubled up on 1/144 scale instead of giving us a MG option of this Nu Gundam FF.

Duymon Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 dang I want an MG version of that big arm unit Quote
General Rasp Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Yes! This looks so awesome! I am so happy Bandai is sticking with the AOZ line and it wasn't a one off. I want to see Bandai do a MG Woundwort with the various gimmicks. Quote

Probably in the ¥15,000-¥20,000 range? The fully plated normal release MG kits (Phenex ¥12,000, Hyaku Shiki ¥6,800) aren't that expensive. Though the P-Bandai and Expo ones are usually quite a bit.

anime52k8 Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 two things; colored electroplated parts are about the only thing more expensive than LED kits, so this is gonna be $$$. Also, the fact a good chunk of the frame is still gonna be nasty swirly gold plastic kinda sucks. Quote

It’s totally wrong for the original art, but they were going with the katoki redesigns on everything around that time. Personally I would like to see as close to a true Kawamori version as possible in either mg or hg. The rd version is probably the closest so far Quote

I was able to pick MGEX Unicorn for about 18.5k Yen and that includes my local tax. As for this latest MGEX Strike Freedom, would be nice to know how the rest of the engineering and articulation is. Also it might make sense to add some clear outer parts as an option so one can enjoy that fancy gold frame. Edited February 19, 2022 by lechuck Quote

Personally I would like to see as close to a true Kawamori version as possible in either mg or hg. The rd version is probably the closest so far Amen. Kawamori's original work is a curvy masterpiece. Both Katoki (MG) and Takigawa (RG) remove the exquisite shapes and make them into generic fodder. It's not so bad on the GP01FB as there is alot to distract the eye but, on the regular GP01 it hurts the eye. The ver. A.N.I.M.E. RD is pretty close, there is also the old resin kit by WAVE (I think) released during C3AFA in 1/100 scale. It is a little wonky in the head and needs a bit of work Quote
electric indigo Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 Trying to turn the old 1/144 Gp01 into the Wave kit design was one of my first modding projects 20 years ago. It's still in a box somewhere. Quote
Big s Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 The part I don’t think anyone can get right on the GP01 and would be impossible if you want the kit to pose would be that waist armor connection to the upper thighs. There was a really good static garage kit that came out not too far back, but I’d have to go back a few dozen pages to find it Quote

Yeah, bandai doesn't seem to give much credo to the GP-0 designs. Maybe too extreme in contrast with the other gundams? Its a pity to waste such curves and proportions. 23 hours ago, Sanity is Optional said: Hard to say, the MGEX Unicorn (¥23,000) didn't have all the gold plated bits, but it did have a full LED kit built in.

Kinda dont see the point of paying expensive $$'s for lovely metal bits in the inner frame, but mainly hidden by outer armor. Not a new viewpoint am sure, but this is certainly pushing it for the MGEX strike freedom price range. Unicorn at least had the lighting system that's unique enough to justify the price. Quote
