zeo-mare Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 more pics of the Xi gundam, i really want this one, it comes out appearently on the 30th in about 10 days i cannot wait. chris
hevangel2 Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 I want a Char Red Zaku. I wonder how long will it take before Bandai release one?
Majestic Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Is the grey Zaku pictured a type of recon Zaku. Don't remember seeing that type.
zeo-mare Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 yea it is some type of recon one, it is from the old 1980 Mobile Suit Variation series i think. chris
GRAND CANNON Posted May 21, 2005 Author Posted May 21, 2005 Sure is, and pretty nice. But damn..........what's up with the feet? No soild footing? Is this just a bad set-up?
Beltane70 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah, I'm really disappointed about the May 30 release date of the Xi Gundam. I was really hoping that it was going to be released before tomorrow (the 22nd), before I left Japan. It seems that everything that I saw that was coming out in May, decided to come out the week after I'm gone. The Zeta Gundam movie, Xi Gundam, and Zeorymer were on my list of things to get/see when I was here. The silver lining to this cloud is that a friend of mine is coming over here in June, so at least he'll be able to pick up the Xi Gundam and Zeorymer.
zeo-mare Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 is this yours? do you have good pictures of the figure and can you recomend it? chris
Black Valkyrie Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 is this yours? do you have good pictures of the figure and can you recomend it?chris Yep its mine, I gave a mini review a while back and yes its worth it, the PVC plastic is harder than the normal MSIA figures and its 1cm more than the MSIA.
zeo-mare Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 cool i have been meaning to get one but have yet to get around to it . there are so many other things i want first. chris
Black Valkyrie Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 As you can see in the pic the feet can close like a valky.
zeo-mare Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 the Fix version i believe can do the same with the feet. chris
Black Valkyrie Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 From Guntoa : GFF RX-78 ver. Ka info Rakuten's Atmart says the GFF RX-78 ver. Ka will convert to an RGM-79. Meanwhile, HobbyLink Japan has some pics of the figure up from the Shizuoka Hobby Show.
zeo-mare Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 wow a honest to goodness RGM-79 i never expected a mass production grunt design
ChristopherB Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Hello, Pardon my ignorance. I've been keeping my eye on this thread since it started, because I'm a big Gundam fan and fan of the FIX figures, but I'm confused about something. It would appear that only "good" guy Gundams fall under the FIX line, since Bandai created the separate Zenography line of figures. They are all FIX figures, but separate. I also believe that all the figures are supposed to be 1/144 scale, which is slightly bigger than the MSIA? So, the next release is the XI "Penelope" Gundam, which I thought was part of the Gundam Seed storyline. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If that is correct, it would appear Gundam Seed will be included in the FIX line. If that is the case, why has Bandai started yet another pseudo-FIX line via the "Cosmic Region Force Impulse Gundam?" I saw one of them in a store here, and it looked really similar to the FIX figures, and costs the same price. Why not give it all of the FIX figure goodies, the box, display stand and so forth, rather than start a new line? So, we have MSIA, MSIA Extended, FIX, Zenography, and now yet another line of 1/144 figures? Of course improvements to figures are great (MSIA to MSIA Extended), but FIX is supposed to be the ultimate "MSIA" line. Will Bandai release a FIX Force Impulse Gundam at a later date just to make more money? This isn't meant to be rant, I'm just trying to figure things out rather than buy a psuedo-FIX now, when I could wait for the real deal. Thank you in advance for any clarification you might provide.

Christopher Penelope is from the novel Hathaway's Flash, I believe - it's definitely not from SEED
zeo-mare Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 yup that is true the Xi gundam is not from seed but from the universal century. the good guy gundams are under the Gundam Fix the bad guys are under the Zonography series and all the seed stuff is under the Cosmic Region. chris
GRAND CANNON Posted May 21, 2005 Author Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) So in summary: GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION - Universal Century Gundam-ish mobile suits produced by Hajime Katoki. (I state Gundam-ish because it's been reported that the RGM-79 GM will be part of the #0026 release.) ZEONOGRAPHY - Universal Century Zeon mobile suits produced by Hajime Katoki. COSMIC REGION - Cosmic Era mobile suits with no reference to Hajime Katoki. Their 1/144 scale is larger than the 1/135-1/140ish MSIA line, but as you've probably seen in this thread, the GFF-related pieces are of a different calibur and are mainll display pieces.

ChristopherB Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Thank you very much for the information. Do you think we'll ever see a GP03 and/or a Buster Gundam?
zeo-mare Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Thank you very much for the information.Do you think we'll ever see a GP03 and/or a Buster Gundam? i do not know about the Buster just yet but we may see the GP-03 at some point. we already have the GP-01, GP-02 and GP-04 so you never know. i wish they could have held off on the GP-01 and released it with configurable armor into the Full Burner.
Black Valkyrie Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 From Guntoa : Zeonography update Pics shown at Tsukurikake Mokei Dojo confirm that the Zeonography Gouf Custom does indeed turn into an Efreet and not any kind of Gouf Flight-Type despite previous reports.

zeo-mare Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 incredible pics my friend you just went and made my day. i wonder what it says underneath the Ver. Ka Gundam about the g-armor perhaps the Rx-78 is still compatible with it. chris

Cool! If they're making an Efreet, perhaps we'll get some BD units...
GRAND CANNON Posted May 23, 2005 Author Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) ....perhaps the Rx-78 is still compatible with it. That's my guess. Also note that that's an illustration of an -79C GM Kai or could even be an 08th MS Team -79E. Either way, now that GFF has had a GM entry, can you imagine where they could go from here!?!?! Snipers, Customs, Powered......oh dear!!! Oh.....and, although the Efreet is sweet, that bites about the Flight. Edited May 23, 2005 by GRAND CANNON
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Any pics of the Efreet, I couldn't find it at Mahq. liar! http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/crossdimension/ms-08tx.htm
Anubis Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Any pics of the Efreet, I couldn't find it at Mahq. liar! http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/crossdimension/ms-08tx.htm So it was buried in the video game section then. I looked through 0079 and MSV but didn't have time to sift through everything else to find it.
GRAND CANNON Posted May 23, 2005 Author Posted May 23, 2005 Sometimes you can use Burke's All the World's Mobile Weapons for most of the stuff. The suits are listed alphabetically.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 i didn't spend much time shifting thru anything...just scrolled all the way down to the Blue Destiny manga, clicked on the Efreet Custom then saw the link for the standard version there...not too much work

The long alphabetical list is pretty cool.
