He'll include it after he decides Destroy Mode or Unicorn Mode blush.gif

Most probably BOTH because Kshatriya needs a sparring partner as well tongue.gif

Of course it's a fair comparison, because comparitively, the pre-Beecraft-ed HG 1/144 or NG 1/100 are more accurate to the lineart.
If we do get an MG Kshatriye, surely you'd see a skinnier and more edgy robot. Comparing to the current HGUC version, the green mech's fanboys would stand up and boycott it for the looks, and maybe even for the price.

Actually, comparing resin kits to plastic kits is the unfair one  whistling.gif

I believe the changes are much more subtle compared to the Blue Frame, and most people are more comfortable with the green monster and hence less complaints. But of course as with any other gunplas, one's own preference is the main reason why one purchases it - other people's opinions are merely for reference and seem less important.

Resin casts often have exaggerated proportions which look nothing like the original. The B-club Sazabi deviates further from Izubuchi's design and yet it doesn't stop it from becoming one of the more popular resin kits amongst modellers.

Anyway, there are more and more reviews on the green monster popping up all over the net. The more I look at it, the more I understand the pricetag... but it doesn't make it more affordable though biggrin.gif

High Grade(HG) - 1/144 - NG level with smaller scale.
UC means Universal Century. Series before Seed and OO series

Master Grade (MG) - 1/100 - the most popular grade among others. second most details kits than perfect grade. has a inner frame and also outside armour.

So, this means that HGUC and HG are basically the same thing except they are from different series?

That is what Parody is talking about. The changes for Ksha is subtle because it's not from the MG line. nod.gif If it was, the changes would be very noticeable, most probably a slimmed down version. And we'll get negative feedbacks for MG Ksha like what people say about MG Blue Frame. yawn.gif

just an opinion here, it seems like MG rather than PG.. just when paired with the clear part, it looks more PG..

it looks too generic for me. no badass factor, no aerodynamics, no personalities no nothing. only the accessories looks good. the gundam itself too plain. the color also not eye catching like red frame was. let see what independent review like dalong will say.

only the details on the armor can entertain to a certain extent, after that its gonna look dull.

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

MGs often get revised designs where some look better than the lineart (mainly the v2.0s) while others look totally different (Hi-Nu). Early Seed MGs such as Strike and Freedom gained more appropriate proportions, SF HAS to be redesigned after the HG and 1/100 abominations, but the models after that tend to get exaggerated, skinny, lengthy limbs which made them look out of sorts; albeit with superior articulation.

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.

Then again, the Victory loses the oversized feet in the upcoming MG to look less cartoony. Judging from the pictures currently available, there are significant flaws with the Victory such as the absence of rotating thigh joints and old tech palms. It's hard to understand why Bandai decides to go ahead with these shortcomings when they can be easily fixed with current MG technology without compromising the transformation mechanics.

Maybe it's a deliberate decision by Bandai. After all the 00S2 mechas lose much detail and became plain janes compared to their predecessors.
But the selling point of the PG00 is the fancy spinning GN drives, not outrageous details and panel lines like the Strike and Astray.

The price is a killer.... sweat.gif That's just too much cash to spend on one gunpla...

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.

just saw the review for the PG OO Raiser from Ngee Khiong. Seems that when the O Raiser is attached to the OO, the OO Raiser lacks a lots of poses that the HG OO & NG OO can do laugh.gif

if only there's no bulkiness in the Twin Drive mount racks designs, the OO Raiser can do so much poses edi sweat.gif , seems tat the O raiser wings on each Twin Drive mount racks is just for show display only, lol
