Of course got tongue.gif The internal skeleton is blue in color though tongue.gif And it doesn't look "internal" since many of the suppose-to-be skeleton were exposed tongue.gif

uhh... MG Impulse's backpack is unique, just like Destiny's. Don't think you can straight swap it without some minor modifications

IINM, MG Impulse did includes adapter to fit the silhouette pack with MG Strikes. You can use the adapter together with the adapter included in MG Blue Frame

I also bored with the fact that protagonist of any gundam series will definitely have the all white, blue chest red crotch & foot.

This is basically a homage to the first Gundam (RX-78-2)

Between the 2, Blue Frame looks nicer (more details I guess)

Of course, since blue frame there is an mg and 1/100, while 00 there is robot damashi (smaller than 1/144)

Gone are the days when MG looked buffed nd macho...

That applies to most MSes from UC only I guess. Most of non-UC MS design already favors slim design for Gundam-type, thus resulting in slim MG also tongue.gif

We'll never know until Bandai releases an MG Kshatriya.


Unicorn stayed fairly true to the original lineart (although the forearm sabres were a late addition compared to the very first design released), while the Sinanju got additional gadgets like the shield and beam axes that weren't present in the first place. For what it's worth, Katoki made subtle changes to the Sinanju such as redesigned rear thrusters, rifle, and tons of decals, which made it look much more refined. If Katoki gets his way in the Unicorn MG line, he'd stick to staying true to his lineart rather than send everything into the slimming centre and I expect the same case with Kshatriya.

*
Hmm IMO. Katoki lineart more or less already conforms with how many MG look nowadays (not too fat, just good). For example, Unicorn and Sinanju will look weird if their already-slim design were slimmed more. That's why model kits of mecha designed by Katoki rarely differs from the lineart (one good example is Endless Waltz kits). Seed/Destiny original lineart actually doesn't look that nice (in animation u can see the proportion is a bit different compared to the original lineart);their NG and HG version were designed based on those original lineart, which in return yielded not-so-good kit design.

Haha rather than stock up the old 1/100, better wait for them to turn into MG tongue.gif

The MG V gundam look very plain from my point of view, just like the MG strike gundam without the decals. Hope the V gundam will have stylish decals to make it look good as what bandai did to MG strike .

Uhh at least any MG Strike will come with one pack.. MG V Gundam gonna be released as basic one only sad.gif

Since we're on the topic of bazookas, it's funny how many gunpla kits are incapable of good over-the-shoulder bazooka poses thanks to the bulky armours and the proportion of the bazooka. By that I mean the bazooka pointing forward rather than pointing down, and in particularly holding it with two hands.

GP03 is one serious offender, in fact the bazooka is totally useless for posing over the shoulder.
MKII's tiny bazooka gets blocked by the beam sabre holders and sits pretty high up due to the chunky shoulder armour.
Gundam v2.0's bazooka looks superb but the handle is too close to the cartridge hence it often detaches from the palm peg. But the super shoulder joint helps a lot.
Zaku v2.0... you need to move the shoulder shield out of the way.
Sinanju? LOL.
Kampfer too. Large shoulders.

It's a pity since bazookas looks more menacing than the generic rifle. biggrin.gif

The best two-handed pose I managed to do with the MKII would be this...

Haha GP03 Bazooka was suppose to be hold under it arms anyway. IIRC I can only see GP03 wields its bazooka on the shoulder is when it docked with Orchis. Kampfer's bazooka seems to be fired just from the back (and in the anime IIRC, it was fired not from standing pose.

I think GP02 and Ez8 is not bad when it comes to holding bazooka.. and Rick Dom also.

then it means the SHCM Pro would be more than that yeah? sweat.gif

Nope.. should be around half of the GFF price (GFF Unicorn IIRC is metal composite one, its scale should be 1/100, instead of normal 1/144 for GFF. SHCM Pro is 1/144 only)

dont worry, i'm very sure the upcoming Gundam Unicorn Anime pretty much wont have have these issues  whistling.gif

btw, now seems like GFFs are going into 1/100 scale liao  sweat.gif  If GFF Unicorn is 1/100, the next MSs in line are for sure 1/100 liao. GFF Sinanju anyone?  hmm.gif

1/100 GFF is the Metal Composite line only, previous GFFs Metal Composite are RX78-2, Psycho Gundam MkII (tho this one is 1/144) and Zetaplus Bst
