It might be bulky but Avalanche was actually designed to 'boost' Exia's mobility.

Im not a great fan of the MG exia trans am mode....but awesome boxart is awesome

I spot a copy of NK's quote

The box size and price of this MG Exia Trans-Am should have the Repair Mode extras, but it does not


-------------------------


Here's some images of the new MG GN-X from the same guy that gave us the HGUC ReZel (Zeta C1 colors) a few pages back...

Nice purple tint, i'd say





Gotta love those inner frames...

Hmm maybe it's only me, but I do think HG 1/144 version of GN-X has better proportion than the MG counterpart...

Darn...MG Exia trans-am boxart is a *gasp*

quite tempted to get since i build my MG Exia Ignition the Repair version.

waiting for HGUC Sinanju ~ cant wait to see if there's any flawless articulations to fight with its MG >_<

I don't really see any major changes in the proportions though...



...but 1/144 HGs get my vote because they come with optional hands and it's more affordable to buy 8 to 10 of them and make your own Jinx Platoon

MGs just suffer from this 'joint-too-tight' syndrome...



Me and my friends broke a few MGs like this. Here's a list of victims.

MG ABF2L thigh-to-upper-leg joint
MG IJ legs-to-lower torso joint
MG Destiny's legs-to-lower torso joint
MG SF legs-to-lower torso joint
MG SF shoulders-to-arm joint
MG Sinanju legs-to-lower torso joint

All who own these kits please be aware

MG GN X is a beauty!! putting purple make is so elegant

in HG 1/144 version, the body looks longer

Who is he stabbing? Do you still need to ask? "US" le!!! Stab us till we all bleed to death! LOL!!!

Haha ... then that one is not Celestial Being's Exia de ... that one shud be a fake exia sent by bandai to stab all of us with poison GX blades

U play with them too much?
All i know is that all those u mention used ABS joint.... the main purpose of ABS joint is to let the model kit pose better, stand and do better action but not for playing.

serious problem. red frame also same joint like this. not to mention, i think all the new MG gundam is this kind of joint. remind me of my unicorn joint as well
but my unicorn now no prob. patah like that, Parody u got some serious hand-playing there jk jk

Have u tried this?
duplicating parts by recasting

It broke under normal posing circumstances. My MG IJ is 8 months old, only posed twice. Second time already broke. It's because the joints are too tight, that the 'male' joint actually got twisted off and stuck inside the 'female' joint. And i'm not talking about perverted stuff here...

MG Unicorn won't suffer this because the 'male' joint is actually shorter than the rest, meaning less friction between the joints. That part of the joint might pop out, but it won't get twisted off and break.

Thanks bro, very useful link there.
But as far as i know, miliput is not hard/strong enough for this kind of 'heavy duty' part. I'm still looking for some tougher substance to be used for recast...

take building construction as example, there cement to create floor slab right? is cement enough? no inside the cement metal rod is everywhere & connecting each other to distribute weight. so use milliput putty as the cement & for the metal rod use something like paku or paperclip or maybe gundamium alloy if u can found 1

I get what you're trying to say. But the problem is, the force is not straight & direct, but rather encirclement.



The black part is the metal rod. The gray part is putty/epoxy/miliput or whatever.
If the force is applied like in the left picture, surely the metal rod will work its charms.
But if the force is applied like in the right picture (which is my case), the metal rod is useless. The gray part will still break apart, unless that whole piece (black+gray part) is metal. But then again, if the male joint is metal and the female joint is ABS plastic, that female plastic will wear and tear quite fast.

Before this thread gets out of topic, here are pictures of the upcoming MG Unicorn OVA...



...and the MG Unicorn OVA SP.



Both versions seem to be lacking the Ver. Ka decals

thank goodness i haven't really bought any unicorn MG or hguc. ever since i heard the movie is being planned, i know already surely there's some better re-packaging.

i think the OVA base very worth it. looks better than those koto mech bases.

maybe there will be some update/upgrade with the decals. lets wait & see.

----------------
about the broken joint, u can try use teflon tape (usually use to seal pipes) to minimize the friction so less probability of broken. I did mine & nothing broken so far.

yeah, but the price is a lot higher than ver ka..

& nowadays is when yen rules. i mean its in it's high peak?
but look at that base. it can store almost every weapon of unicorn + ammo

ya, my destiny joint also almost unmoveable... nxt time can try move to move the joint to test the tightness b4 completely snappin it in...
can reduce abit wit knife scratchin if too tight..
