Jolly Rogers Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Does any of you has this item and if so is it any good :http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?BAN33813 Used to have it, till mom figured I was too old for Gundam and tossed it... along with all my Gundam design books, HG models, and a half-completed MG ZZ.... grrr..... well, that was way back in high school... starting to rebuild now =) Anyhow... like the description says, it's half-toy, half-model. As a toy, it's very detailed, well articulated (although you won't see individual finger joints a-la the PG Zeta), and fun to pose. As a model though, it's a tad bit underwhelming... not enough detail. For a while though, it was the best thing sitting on my shelf. The F91 comes with beam shield, dual sabers, rifle, two back-mounted rifles, and a large cannon. The face plate can be changed, depending on which mode you want it in. Fins deploy from the shoulders (manually...) and calves (spring loaded =). Damn... talking about it makes me want it again, if only for the good memories... The articulation leaves much to be desired when compared to today's Gundam toys, even in the similar scale (the DX ones like the GP01Fb, GP02A, Nu and Sazabi). I am referring specifically to the arms, which is unable to hold the beam bazooka in a convincing shooting pose. The quality of the plastic used, however, is much better by comparison. It also comes with 2 scaled figures of Seabook and Cecily, and the cockpit door opens. Built-in springs in the calves allow the fins to pop into open position when the feet are pressed against a flat surface. This gimmick was later ripped off and used in the New Material Model of Turn-A Gundam. The shoulder fins are for heat radiation and do not deploy as weapons, BTW. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 I think the Wing Zero Custom been done, but the Wing Gundam kai version would be nice. So as the Ex-S. If you're talking about the one that was a Fix figure, they're making that into a 1/100 MG model. Which I might get later on. It's already out, and doesn't look like they even bothered to address the back-heaviness issue. Damn thing cannot even stand upstraight and has to be put into awkward "pelvis out" pose in order to stand up. Thumbs way down on. Quote
Angel's Fury Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 (edited) I also mentioned this too. I hope they make a PG version of it too. Edited March 25, 2004 by Angel's Fury Quote

Vermillion One Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 I would like to see the following made into PG Gundams: Zeong Gouf Custom or Gouf Flight Gerbera Tetra Quote
TwinkiePlatter Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 I want: HyGogg GP03s Zeta Plus (with all of the parts, like the Fix figure) Gebera Tetra TR-1 [Hazel] Type-100 Quote

In real world: Bandai will not release anymore unrealistic/unprofitable model because of the poor sales of HGUC GP-03. Didn't many of the Sentinel MGs come out after the release of the HGUC GP03D? Heck, they even released a GFF Deep Striker, that thing's got practically zero articulation yet cost nearly half the MSRP of the HGUC Dendrobium. Bandai will release unrealistic/unprofitable model because it's Gundam and not Macross. Quote

Wrong, the most expensive PG Gundam model, would be the dendrobium Quote
Graham Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Heh, if it was up to me and I was the CEO of Bandai, I would stop making Gundam products and concentrate on making MG, & PG Macross models and kickass Macross toys. Personally, I can't stand 99% of most Mobile Suit designs. Graham Quote
Californium Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I can't stand about 98% of gundam designs. ( Mermaid Gundam, anyone?) But that 2% or so is fairly kickin'. I tend not to care for the really complicated designs. Usually I prefer mechs that are simple and elegant. Designed toward a single philosophy. Like the MKII, or the Nu. The MKII is indeed a really nice PG. Goes together easily with a fantastic and solid final product. A PG Jegan would be awesome. Fairly large as well. PG Labors is a fantastic idea. The detail in those designs just screams for a PG style treatment. What scale would those be in though? 1/24th? PG Votoms might be neat. Unfortunately, the future of PG kits in the real world is likely a short one. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I'm not sure if the HGUC version is already the best you can get. BUT I'd love to see a PG Dendrobium. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 While the Dendrobium looks very impressive when assembled, the Stamen leaves way too much to be desired. I actually prefer the heftiness of the original 1/144 GP03S kit over the HGUC version, which was compromised so it'd be able to fit inside the Dendrobium. Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 MSN-04 SAZABI. I don't normally buy Gundam Kits and dont have a single PG but if they did a Sazabi I would buy it. Kaempfer and Rick Dom I would consider. Quote
Red Comet Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) I still say we need a PG version of THIS.... Edited March 26, 2004 by Red Comet Quote
ogami Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I still say we need a PG version of THIS.... I want it too! But who knows what will Bandai do... Quote
Angel's Fury Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I'm not sure if the HGUC version is already the best you can get. BUT I'd love to see a PG Dendrobium. That and this one would make my day....... Quote
Californium Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 MSN-04 SAZABI.I don't normally buy Gundam Kits and dont have a single PG but if they did a Sazabi I would buy it. Kaempfer and Rick Dom I would consider. Those are great choices. Great Zeon designs. The Sazabi would be frickin' huge though. About 18 inches tall and almost 12 inches wide. I shudder to think how mush such a thing might cost. Quote
Stamen0083 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) It's already out, and doesn't look like they even bothered to address the back-heaviness issue. Damn thing cannot even stand upstraight and has to be put into awkward "pelvis out" pose in order to stand up. Thumbs way down on. The pose in that picture was not for the back heavy wings. The guy put it in that pose because he liked it that way. I can't wait to get mine. It's the closest to a perfect MG kit as I've seen from pictures. I'll confirm it once mine gets to me. PS: If there's a model of Ball ever made, I hope it's CORE industries' KB-79 Killer Ball: Edited March 26, 2004 by Stamen0083 Quote
Montarvillois Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I kill for a PG RGM-79 Powered GM. It would be an easy conversion to make for Bandai since most of the parts of the RX-78 could be used. Quote
Tiny Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 Does anybody know if the GPO2 is gonna be made into PG since the GPO1 was made PG? Quote
ogami Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Does anybody know if the GPO2 is gonna be made into PG since the GPO1 was made PG? negative... the next PG should be Nu Gundam. Quote
That NOS Guy Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 We need a GM PG. Zaku PG, Gundam PG, logical default would be the GM. An HGUC GM II and III wouldn't be bad either, but that's just me. -NOS "Everything needs more GMs" Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 The next MG this summer is............. but as for now it`s a rumor as they say : http://aeug.blogspot.com/ Quote
