Happy Birthday. Sorry I didn't have net for the longest time, so hi.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah hello. And thanks for dropping by.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yess, if I can recall this correctly, MBS still had the rights to 00S2 and AGE during the time GBF aired, so no suits or kits from 00S2 was shown there, which might make the marketing team think that sales for 00 kits wouldn't fare that well. But hell, who knows. Wishful thinking is wishful thinking. Still would love to see MGs for 00 and 00S2.
I personally prefer the Masurao more, due to its red accents instead of white, and beam... swords? Those swords are also appparently named after his fallen partners Howard and Daryl, which is nice. Oh and while researching-ish for this I did find out the model number is GNX-02X. Gotta love my favorite number, 02, in there.
I didn't find the Alex that comfortable to use in N+. It is usable, but I just simply didn't like it.
Ah. Heard of those ancient kits.
Do what you wish bro, my sole sniper is still the Jesta (again, thanks for the rifle). Certainly hope to be changing that soon (as in, adding to the list).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhhh..interesting....that DOES explain it.
Awww...Graham was such a sweetie, wasn't he? The manliest of all sweeties. You know what else I wanna see in MG form? Arche, baby! Prince Ali, mighty is he. And maybe Gadessa. I don't know why, but I just like Gadessa so much (though I like Arche way more because it looks like such an unconventional gundam)
Oh yeah, 1000-cost gundams in N+ can be really awkward (aside from the ground/ez8)
They look like straight up toys, man. straight up toys. Even though I'm scammed, I'm really amused. Oh well, might be able to get some spare parts out of this.
haha no problem, glad you liked it. What other sniper you planning to get? GM SNiper?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He sure was. Didn't like him that much in S2 tho. He was best in either S1 or the movie.
EZ8's actually quite nice. It was fun to try and blow the God Gundam up with that suit, considering one is long ranged and one is short ranged. Needless to say, AI still lost.
Maybe it'll be good paint practice, you know? Turn it into a piece of art.
The GM Sniper? Not really. When I wrote that I was thinking of something more.. familiar. Still green, but familiar. Referring to the Dynames, of course.
But still, the GM Sniper, despite labeled a sniper, doesn't really appeal to me. I'll tell you what I like, the fact that it can store its rifle at the back; an external generator (I love me some semi-realism, like a power source, which is why I am fascinated by and love GN Drives or things as simple as external fuel tanks); a cloak and the beam saber storage placement. I don't fancy the unit that much, it doesn't look complex and beautiful (beauty is relative) enough like the Jesta to be made my personal suit. For Grunts-ish, I'll definitely stick to the Jesta.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His japanophile period in S2 was...weird, but I didn't mind, since he kept his promise to his friends...and fought a season 2 gundam with a friggin flag. A souped up flag, but still...a flag.
Oh hell, yes. That anti material rifle is AMAZING. I need to watch that series. I've seen the Gouf Custom fight scene (which was amazing), but I haven't seen the series as a whole.
Naaaah..not worth it, man. Good paint costs quite a bit. I think I'm going to paint my gouf custom, though....give him a nice purple and violet color scheme, yellow mono-eye, and the GN-X's shotlancer. Woo!
Oh, speaking about that....I REALLY should've bought it months back, man...the aftermarket price on that thing is INSANE. 75 friggin dollars. Minimum. There's a couple in Ebay which are cheaper, around 35 or 50 dollars, but.....they seem..untrustworthy. because they're from China. And I'm worried they're bootlegs.
Oh well, I'm still getting you that thing by December, one way or another.
Yeah, Jesta is best, man. Zeon units really shine during the OYW and the Axis conflict, while Federation units really shine during the Unicorn era.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yess, the custom Ahead he used for a while looked like shit. It was nice that he went back to a flag. Or as you said, a souped up flag. The Masurao/Susanowoo was certainly nicely designed.
And I haven't played GVG in a while. Damn I would be rusty.
Well if you ain't gonna paint is a whole, you could make a custom. HGs are probably easier to customize and be made a custom kitbash build. That would be nice.
Things are very pricy in the aftermarket. Hell, the Sword Impulse costed around $80 didn't it? But well, $75 for a HG is not worth it. Unless it's a large scale one like the Neo Zeong. Which even then, what is the point of owning that monstrosity?
Well you have my thanks for that. Then I'm gonna need a gray marker. And some decals. Hm.. I can probably replicate the lines 00 suits tend to have using simple white paint and some masking like what I did to the Jesta. Others I'll just take from spare kits. I think pa has spare LEDs which would be very nice to wire and drill. Just need to figure out the trigger. What else... oh yeah, MG quality hands. Perhaps not MP ones like Jesta/Nu tho. I think I have spares. Might even be able to rip off the condenser details from Exia. Yess that would be nice. Which means the only thing I need to work up is only the LED wiring and gray marker.
Unicorn era huh... I keep wondering what happens to everything from Unicorn after Unicorn. That would include the RX-0 units, UC Charter, and the people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, easy customization is partially why I went back to HGs. well, easy customization, plus most of the Zeon units I want is in hg.
Hmmm..I don't know, sometimes the price fluctuates. I mean, I got my Zaku II kai for 25 dollars on the aftermarket, when in Amazon now it's listed as 19 dollars or something.
owning the neo zeong is for bragging rights, haha, just like defeating the Fatalis from Monster Hunter.
No problem buddy, the power of internet purchase is at my hands! MWahahahha! I'm just worried that we'd get a bootleg or something. With Amazon that usually isn't the problem, though. Wow...you REALLY love Dynames, don't you?
That's a good question. The Federation is practically castrated by the time of F91 (or worse, Victory/Ghost)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And detail as well as engineering is why I went to MG. Shame not everything is on MG, HG is the test bed-ish I suppose.
Meh. It's always an issue with the economy. And now I'm studying economy in school as well. Geo sucks, btw. Can't seem to ace that subject.
Defeating a Fatalis means you're skilled enough, since I don't think any weapon really compensates for its power. Owning a Neo Zeong simply means you have too much money and too much time on your hand.
Haha, I would be afraid to get something like your Gelgoog J. Such an unfortunate little thing.
The Dynames is probably my favorite Gundam from anywhere, to be honest. I like the design, I like the pilot, I like its arnaments, I like everything really. That is why I would assure you if they ever release an MG, I WANT IT.
But as it stands now, all I can do is modify the NG as best I can with resources I have available. As such I will gladly hope I don't mess it up, especially working with LEDs. It's a shame NG doesn't come with decals. Samuel Decals does have one but it's not that substantial. I'll probably do as much if nore more work to the MS as I did to the Jesta.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With Geo you just need a lot of time and indoctrination, just repeat the words over and over again in your head. It's like biology, only with less latin.
HAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA....well said. I'd much rather get a Big Zam or a Neue Ziel, really.
Welllll..that Gelgoog J I got was one in a million......I mean, there's not exactly an 80's version of 1/100 Dynames, is there now? (Though there ARE bootlegs Dynames, I suppose)
Oooooh...I see...interesting.......so i guess we can say the Dynames is your flagship MS.
Mine has always been, and will always be, Gouf Custom, for the same reasons you have with the Dynames.
Hmmmm..you'd have to teach me how to wire dem newfangled LEDs...I wanna install one if I ever finally get myself an MG Gouf Custom.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very well said. I am typing this little thing from school, and using the word 'indoctrination' for Geo was quite funny. Thankfully it was at the break, not many people saw me laughing. And ironically, the last subject today is Geography.
There are bootlegs, yes. Or perhaps a much better word is 'chinese'. I am honestly not that fond of Chinese stuff, after experiencing a zebra toy we got once back in the day, and more recently, the Unicorn gatling guns that you bought. I appreciate it quite a bit, but it was a pin in the ass to assemble. Things didn't seem to fit that well and plastic quality is slightly meh. But after giving it a light matte coat it did look rather well.
Flagship kinda. But from experience (that I last excercise a couple of months ago), the Cherudim was a much better MS to use in Extreme Vs. Perhaps it is time to train. But really in terms of everything I really do like Dynames more than the Cherudim. The Gouf Custom is a pretty nice looking suit, I do have to agree.
LEDs are easy to wire, it's just placement and holster for the battery. Every other doohickey is easy to configure. But with that said, I am still amazed on the customs people do, like on the Nu Ver. Ka, there was a custom that lit up all the psycho frames. Like, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT. The inner frame hinders a lot of thing. As such I think and I hope it woudl be easier to wire and drill the Dynames. But well, who knows?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pffft! Hahahaha...Damn Geography.
Yeah..I remember that Zebra (Or, in my case, elephant). Dem cheap plastic toys,boy. And haha, yeah, I normally wouldn't buy chinese gunpla, but.....well, where else would I get the limited gatlings? haha
Hahaha, I see, I see..interesting....to be fair, Cherudim does seem to be better at straight up fighting, while Dynames is much better at long distance killing. And yes, the Gouf Custom is a badass, man...a badass.
Aaah....I see..... I think that guy who 'lit up' nu gundam ver ka is insane., for sure. Though I wonder if he's actually less or MORE insane than the guy who lit up hguc full armor gundam unicorn destroy mode.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Full Armor Unicorn had those gatling guns. I had to look up Dalong's scans to figure out how it would plug in to the shield. Turns out they didn't include additional parts. And even then it's still a pain in the ass due to what I would assume as terrible molding.
Exactly what I prefer. I just prefer to be somewhere shooting people than going down straight to a battlefield.
Who knows. Most certainly quite interesting tho, the efforts to make their Gunpla something special. Lovely. Very lovely.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
PFFFFT, It would be flippin' hillarious if I come home on December and see you've built FA Unicorn or something.
Ah, I'm the opposite...I'm an adrenaline junkie who likes suicidal hit and run tactics...kind of like the Gouf and the Kampfer.
I should get Full Boost for PS3 as well so we can play it when I come home on December, don't you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha not gonna happen tho. I was never fond of the FA Unicorn's design. Too cluttered.
Most certainly up to you. Might be interesting tho. Maybe a slight waste since then you'll play for only like a month then go back to US.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's all very...90's. in a bad way.
Hahaha I never said i'd bring it back with me
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hey dude, it's me, here to bother you again.
I'm curious..if I have to ask you, which do you think is cooler? the Gelgoog Jager images.wikia.com/gundam/images… or the Gelgoog Marine www.1999.co.jp/itbig01/1001274… ?
I'm collecting all the Zeon units, haha...I already got a Zaku, gouf, Dom (and the zudah, of course).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apologies. I've been rather busy, upgrading my grade 9 art project. Again. For Loren's Open House.
My eyes is set on the Jager. Not only does it have a cooler looking gun (which does remind me I still want the damn Dynames), but I actually like the monotone Char pink ish around the body with hints of gray dan black rather than green and blue color difference. It just looks strange.
I just compared the designs in Gundam wiki and I do still like the Jager more. I dunno, the design is appealing to me. Both units does have one of the traits I seek in Gundam tho, fuel tanks. They're a definite weak spot but are such a beauty. No idea why.
Anyway, any thoughts on the Nightingale and/or the Hi Nu?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, so I see! You put that up for Open House? Should be interesting seeing people's reactions. Good luck, man! Looking good so far. Love the red v-fin on the black body.
Hmmmm~ interesting, love hearing your thoughts (Wait till December, hehehehe), I can totally see what you mean. The Jager is newer, and thus has better proportions. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't come with any beam saber, but I should have plenty to spare...somewhere.
I'm a bit disappointed that the Hi Nu (or the...HIV, good lord) is actually shorter than the Nu Gundam, made it felt like a bootleg instead of a superior machine. Kinda like how my ancient Dom Tropen (18.5) is actually shorter than my Gouf (17.5), which is maddening. Still, seeing Gaijingunpla's review..it DOES look like a piece of art, so I might just be nitpicking.
The Nightingale....it doesn't look bad. Except for the fact that it comes with only one beam saber effect, when it has four arms. For the most part, it looks pretty cool, but I'd much prefer a 1/144.
Either way, I'm way more excited at the idea of an HGUC 1/144 Crossbone Gundam. FINALLY, my favorite gundam design!! Here's hoping they don't make an exclusive out of the x-2 (which is my favorite of the three) and the x-3 (which has my favorite protagonist)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I changed the display picture of my BBM to the bot's current state, in which you can see some of the new parts. And yeah old art teacher asked me to put it up. It was kinda bare so I just added two weapons and some parts to it. Mostly to make it less... flat.
December's a couple of months away. I'm still playing around with my Jesta (added a single white line along its right arm and shoulderpad, which looks interesting but doesn't stand out that much). Ah the Jager is newer huh. Beam sabers are all around my friend. What matters more to me is storage.
My gripe with the Hi Nu isn't actually with the height, but rather with the lack of colors. Blue and white looks good, yeah. But if you just compare it to the Nu which has yellow , red, white, blue around it, it's just kinda meh. But my it does look beautiful.
Ah GaijinGunpla. I like that guy. Kinda. I watch him in hobbylinktv.
Thought you might say that. You always like crabs. Or lobsters. The Sazabi was a glorious red lobster, the Sinanju is sleek and pretty, while this thing is just weird. It's even more lobster-ish. I never understood how practical it could be.
Arr! Crossbone! Have we even seen any picture of that thing (in HGUC form)? I'm sure it's coming, but hell knows when. Probably December. Or November really. October seems too close. December is usually reserved for special kits. It's been Nu and Sazabi for the last years, might be a PG this year. I would be absolutely stunned if the next PG is Unicorn. That, would be art. If it works. The MG as it is now is nice looking by itself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha...cool! You should add some blue and red lights on the Jesta or something. Whenever I think of him, I'm always reminded of Appleseed's E-SWAT. You planning to get Hi-Nu or Nightingale?
Mmmm, yess, the lack of colors does help with the "bootleg-ish" feel.
Gaijingunpla is awesome. so is Kakarot197 and Rrobbert (who has recently returned!). Prime92 reviews almost everything, but I can't listen to her reviews without headphones.
Mmmmmmmmm...oh yesss. It's not practical at all, dude, it's just operating on rule of cool. (It has fuel tanks right next to its thrusters for god's sake) I don't plan on getting it at all, though.
Yep!! a couple of days in gundamguy. It's coming on November, on time for my birthday, ha-ha! It's got an impressive amount of details for a high grade. And..you're right. Hmmm. Wonder what surprise we have this december. I highly doubt it's PG unicorn though, if it was, Bandai would've announced it and built the hype.

sta.sh/2pe69l1am2r?edit=1
The last three photos showcase the updates, which does include the red grenades and stripe. Sloightly unfortunate that it doesn't stand out but meh I'll figure something out.
I don't exactly like the Nightingale, and although I was kinda enticed by the Hi-Nu's beauty. But no, I'm not. I don't have anything I wanna get as of now, both the Unicorn and the Jesta is still a majestic piece. Of course the NG Dynames is still nn the wishlist, but even so I'm really hoping for an MG version, not only for the always nice decals (which the 00 line is known for the stripes) but just detail in general with (possibly) color separation and overall better construction. Not to mention the writings on the clear piece and condensers which has always been nice. Oh LEDs as well. I could probably do something thanks to the lack of frame but I am too lazy.
We didn't get many kits this year, although the quality has certainly been nice with the Turn X and all, despite no interest in getting it whatsoever.
Never watched Karakot197, rrobbert has been offline for a while. Busy guy. And Prime92... I still don't like her voice. At least on cam. Her custom models do look quite nice.
Operating on the rule of cool. Fair enough I suppose.
I must've missed that, or just forgotten about it. Oh well not planning on getting it anyway.
Well as Syd or GaijinGunpla said, Episode 7 was released this year, and if they don't release the Unicorn in December, well they'd lose their chance. But seriously tho, if there will be a PG for Unicorn, I wanna see it. I absolutely wanna see it, but definitely not own it. The previous PGs were nice but this one in particular I'd like to see how it's done. I am a huge fan of the MG, hell knows what they could do with the PG.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HAhaha, nice...nice.....it does add more color...and those details..almost makes me want to get an MG again..... and those white stripes kinda remind me of Nimbus Schwertzen's "custom" paint job for the Blue Destiny Unit 3 (that is, red shoulders.)
Welll, everyone wants SOMETHING new out of the Dynames, I have a feeling you'd see either an MG or an RG of it soon enough.
You know what I want to see though? (well, aside from the Crossbone...) The goddamn Efreet. www.gamekyo.com/images_1/da024… img165.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/…
I was interested in the Turn X at first..then I noticed the price. Nope.
I'm just hoping Bandai won't cheap out by making X2, X3, or the ABC mantle (which hasn't been shown so far) frickin exclusives.
Hmmm...good point, good point.....unless they wanna bank on nostalgia and release the pg unicorn in 20 years for 'anniversary' or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You reply quite fast.
Both seems equally likely really. I'm really hoping for an MG tho, Bandai seems to not like putting out MG for the 00 line. It's only Setsuna's suit and one GN-X. Shame. I kinda wanna see Graham's suits as well. Say from the Masurao to the Susanowoo and even the Brave 'Commander Type'. The 00 line has nice designs but they're not made to master grades. WHY. If they're waiting for like the 10th anniversary, it would be in 3 years. The 5 years one has passed. Damn shame.
Moar Zeon suits. How many are there exactly? I think I can certainly say well enough I'm very much a Feddie. These Zeon designs aren't doing it for me.
Bandai loves going P-Bandai and exclusive. They did it with the MGs, what's stopping them from doing it with the HGs? I don't think they would but meh who knows.
20 is too long. This year is the 35th of Gundam. Something very big would either be in the 40th or 50th, with the latter being more likely. Whatever they would do or what kits they would make is beyond me. We've seen G Reconguista and Build Fighters Try. I'm interested in the G Self's core fighter, and BFT's G Gundam throwback. But story wise.. I dunno.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's because I had to wake up at 6 for morning class, and doing this helps me awaken, hahahaha
Aw man, i'd love to see Graham's units as mg...I love that guy.
Haha, not even gelgoog jager or sinanju? Still, I like feddie and zeke suits both, though I lean towards zeon becaise..i gotta love the monoeye. Feddie suits from oyw tend to suck though, I think, aside from gm custom and gm striker. On the other hand, the best zeke suits are from oyw, so I guess it's fair.
Eh I think both shows could be cute, at least. Reconguista has pretty cool designs, though while I appreciate bf's custom suits, I can't get into them because...well, it'll feel like someone else's private suit. silly, I know
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice. I check this damn thing around once a day unless there're messages continuity like this one. Even then I tend to get lazy at writing response.
Indeed. Graham Aker.. certainly love that guy
The Sinanju and Sazabi are both a beauty. But that's it, Zeon grunts are not a thing of mine. I mean, Sazabi's head is very very nice looking. Not to mention my favorite color is red.
I have never watched OYW actually. I think I barely saw the first episode and it was meh. I did watch Char's Counterattack, and I might watch Zeta. I am taking a liking into that suit, even if getting the kit warrants being painted red by me.
I'm just afraid BFT'll go the same way SEED Destiny did. Thankfully it is written by the writers of 00 who did a decent job with 00S2.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sazabi has Char's epic helmet for a head, of course it would be awesome!
I've seen snippets of OYW, all of Unicorn, parts of Seed and Destiny, the Endless Waltz movie (which I think is actually better than all of Unicorn....apart from Unicorn's animation and the battle of Torrington), and the Zeta gundam compilation. I'm planning to watch all of the original MSG and ZZ.
Zeta is pretty awesome, and the Titans are a glorious bunch of dicks with insane mobile suit designs. Yazan Gable and Paptimus Scirocco are still two of my favorite gundam villains (and I'm a Zeke!)
I...what?
Ohhhhh craaaap.
I'll disagree with you on that one, I think 00S2 is a mess (Wait, I told you this before, didn't I?), it's basically a retelling of Zeta Gundam, which wouldn't be so bad...except that 00 Gundam season 1 had the AEU, the HRL, and the Union, which were perfectly good 'antagonists'.
Still love the Innovade suits, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted to watch Zeta once, but I think the old animation kinda threw me off. The last piece of UC I watched is Char's Counterattack in which I can hear an OST very familiar but wonders if there's another variation of it and it's been bugging me. It's track 9, "mission". I've heard it before but WHERE.
No ideas what you're talking about my "Zeke". There's a whole lot of entries in Wikipedia for that.
Well 00S2 is not as good as S1, most certainly, just like how I think GBFT won't be as good as GBF, but well it's still rather decent.
Yeah, the Innovade suits. My favorite one from that will still be Ribbons' Reborns. Need that for an MG too, would be quite stunning. Though the transformation will most likely yield some extra yens that raises its price to the roof.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Watch the movies, man. There's more new animation, a better ending, and a more confusing pace (haha)
Zeke is just the slang term for Zeon, just like Feddie.
Well, they made the friggin unicorn. I think they'll find a way to do Reborns, if they're up for it.
I'm currently watching 0080: War in the Pocket. So far pretty cool, though it doesn't have as much flashy fights as a usual Gundam Series. I really like the story so far, though.

The Schuzrum Gallus has finally arrived to join my Zeon Army (and the skimpy girls)!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Quite detailed looking. Followed through with paint or tried stickers?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sta.sh/01r8ehe1uuyq
Stickers, don't have the time or supplies for paint right now, hahaha. They're pretty annoying, but they do their job. And some parts, like the chest emblem (which ISN'T raised up), you HAVE to use the stickers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good enough. That thing looks fairly detailed for a HG tho, with frame pieces being exposed in quite a bit of places. Certainly hope you don't mess it up when you paint. Can't do much with my Jesta, there's no color on pa's paints that look good and match. Though I might do what I planned originally, adding striped like the decals in the arm but with paint. I have sprayed the grenades with red.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, definitely, the frame pieces not only give great detail, they also provide magnificent articulation for a high grade. Guess that's why it's only 100 yen less than an RG.
Jesta would look in an all-black, spec-ops color scheme, I think. And red grenades? hahaha..that sounds like something the Zeon would use.
Next up on my list is the Zaku-III and the Zssa, completing the ZZ/late Zeon mechs yo

Duuuuuuuuuuuude! Have you tried topcoating your gunpla? You should. It's totally awesome!! sta.sh/01pw1rn6o0t
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, never. It looks quite damn good though. I assume that's a 1/144?
Oh and not sure I can get the Dynames. Apparently there's some trouble importing stuff from Japan or something. The last kit I got was the X. And though the beam saber is nice, Sword Impulse's beam boomerang effect beats it in awesomeness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hell yeah, it does. pretty damn easy to do too! Just wash it clean, make it dry, put it in your bathroom, and spray away! (Carefully and lightly). And yeah, it's a 1/144 Stark Jegan. My precioussssss. I don't have the time to make 1/100 mgs anymore. But I might still remake an Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise, and MAYBE the Turn X later. For now, I have my eyes on the HG Blue Frame 2nd L and the GP02A Physalis though....two of my favorite gundams.
Hmmmmmm..... Well, it's still here: www.amazon.com/Gundam-00-GN-00…
And there's plenty in stock if you ever change your mind.
Awww, too bad, sounds like X didn't live up to most people's expectations
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What does topcoating exactly do though? Make the gunpla shiny? It looks like there's some gloos there, and rather clean look.
I made the GX in about 4 hours, the decaling and some panel scribing around another 2/3. But I suppose you are quite busy. I'll take some pictures later.
The Blue Frame... so going doubles now? First the Epyon then the Blue Frame. A bit meh on the Physalis. But I guess you like the largeness of it.
Hmmmmm..... Very tempting.....
Yeah, still hoping for an MG though. Still above 10 huh? Similar number as last time. Not much demand, most likely.
Not sure what to expect. It's not a suit that's gotten much love before. The reason Bandai did this suit is because of their rather smart marketing, with Build Fighters and the X Maoh variation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, it flattens the color so that the plastic looks smooth and simple. I mean, you look at your unpainted gunpla. Now compare it to your lancelot albion or something, and you notice that the color of your gunpla looks 'cheaper'. that's because you didn't topcoat it.
lol well, that's because GX is a wing-era 15-16 meter kit. I made the Tallgeese pretty quickly too, but what I want is the blue frame, which is a massive prick.
Yep! Set right what once went wrong. Oh yeah, I love the physalis. I like its unique face. I don't like the pilot though. Then again I prefer Feddies in general. Hell, that's why I like Zeta and EX-S too.....they both have unique faces. Crossbone as well, in that case, with its opening mouth. The Astray, meanwhile, I like because: a). he was my first mg, and b). He's freaking cool. And he's AWESOME in the game.
Yeeeeah, it's a HG 1/100. just tell me when you change your mind, it's relatively cheap, so no worries.
Oh yeah. They even made the HG 1/144 crossbone maoh before X-1. Heresy, I say! When the X-1 (and hopefully X-3) comes out, I'll be the first to buy them~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Funny you mentioned the Lancelot. I just watched Code Geass R1 & R2 last Thursday and Friday, and basically fell in love with it. A rather brilliant story. But yeah, there is a difference.
Crossbone does share its face with the F91, then again the former is developed from the latter. Not surprised your WiFi is named Crossbone Vanguard . The Astray Red Frame I particularly find powerful. I once tried several Gundams to defeat it, and the only one basically succesfuly is the Qan[T], not sure about the Blue Frame.
Relatively cheap huh. I believe the retail price is 2300 yen, which doesn't equal even close to the 36 dollars. It's a bit absurd like the Sword Impulse's price, but that Sword does turn out to be my favorite gunpla so far. So much effort on the decaling. I wonder how it looks with the topcoat. Need to secure the decal too.
A 15 meter suit re-scaled to 1/144. How small would that be. I think in the show the Crossbone Maoh actually is customized off of the MG since well, there's no HG.
Oh yeah, what do you think of Reconguista G from the artwork and trailers so far?

Mmmmm, Code Geass isn't really my taste, but I do appreciate their cool designs
Oh. It shares a face, but has a different head. Thankfully too, cause Strike Freedom ruined F91's head for me, ahaha. Dude, Red Frame with flight unit is so damn broken it's funny. Strong melee, respectable gp, and a super move to boot. Blue Frame second L is a bit weaker, but it's always satisfying when you manage to crush your enemy with that big ass R button sword. For the most part though, I stick with the weak but quick standard melee button.
Well, it's America man, even a Tallgeese here on a HOBBY shop cost 60 dollars. Topcoating will secure your decals as long as you placed them right. Speaking of which, I just finished my hg blue frame 2nd L, and he's fantastic. If not for the damn stickers, I'd even say he's better than the MG! I'll photo him when I'm not at a bus stop
Pretty small, considering what I saw from f91, and considering how
Small BF2ndL already is.
I think it looks fine! the eureka seven inspired designs definitely show though. What bout you?

Apologies for the late reply, I've been fighting procrastination (which is also a battle I'm losing) as well as some work from yearbook and school anddd sleep...
Code Geass kinda deals with politics and rebels and friendship and all that crap.
Why? Both heads are quite nice. And Ex. Vs is much harder than Next+. A bit heavier in the controls and maybe slower?
I'll try topcoating sometimes in the future when procrastination or other things don't hinder my way. The Sword Impulse is far too precious to be ruined.
And... here's the photos that I just took 10 minutes ago but wanted to take it since four days ago of the GX, sta.sh/21gmejr8gdq5?edit=1
The Strike is a 17 m suit isn't it? And the BF2nd L is basically a blue strike modified by the Junk Guild (?).
My main gripe is with the pilot. He seems too... happy... I like silly happy like with Build Fighters, but I also like the seriousness from 00 and Unicorn. Of course too serious and annoying like Shinn is rather... well, annoying.. and the perfectness of Jesus Yamato is slightly better but not that great. The Gundam design is okay, I'll have to see the mechanical details to see if I like it or not. I do have some categories by which I like Gundam suits, like say, thrusters on the back of the legs, or power source/plugs like the Umbilical Cord of the EVAs or GN Drives.
