if it wasnt in Gloss color i would definitely buy it. Becoz those Gloss Color injection kit really hard to cut out one... and they easy get scratch and after applied sand paper it looks like crap.

Like the Extra Finish or Metallic Coating versions, you can see an obvious mark after you cut it from the runners.

Also, the gloss versions make the joints weaker due to its very smooth surface. Less friction means less grip.
If you pose the gloss version kit with the feet slightly apart on a smooth surface like a glass table, it'll do a split in less than a minute. doh.gif
I know because i have the MK-II Titans 2.0 HD Color and MK-II AEUG 2.0 normal versions.

Buy a Mr Hobby clear red color. Then dip the whole transparent stuff in it and take it out for dry... they u have a full transparent red color part.

You could paint only the inside of it, so it'll still look smooth and nice on the outside, but you'll lose the transparency.
Kinda like the concept they use where you apply the foil sticker behind the transparent gun scope.

Personally i prefer the MG uniforn. Cause it can transform, and the transparent pieces looks nice. Especially after you paint those transparent pieces with clear red! looks bad ass!

Golbeza: In full honesty: Super HCM-Pro beats every thing in your list.

Small, but costly. Imagine having a miniature Perfect Grade that kinda thing, except its much more durable than a model kit.

Compare the price and see which one fits your budget.

For the price one SHCMPro you could get an squadron of HGUC Unicorns. Sure, the HGUC is very plain and has same crap articulation like its MG big brother, but the cheap price + fun of building an entire kit + possibility for mods + DIRT CHEAP makes it more value for money. RD doesn't come cheap too yet like the SHCMPro it's still an action figure more than a gunpla kit.

Go here for reviews of the SHCMPro Unicorn... Very impressive articulations that the MG/HGUC could only dream of. But being a pre-painted kit there is a chance where some models might have colour spills / uneven paintjobs. From the pictures it does look like it has gloss injection parts though.

RD Unicorn seems to come in solid pink psycoframes instead of the transparent red.

GFF Unicorn... we don't know much about its abilities for now but we'll see more reviews when the release date arrives.
I'm holding out for Banshee and Sinanju for the HGUC, and still praying hard for MG Delta Plus laugh.gif

Meanwhile, here's another picture of the MG V. Nope, no waist... Nope, no thigh joint. Nope... near zero torso articulation due to the core fighter mechanism. Nope, Bandai's not getting my money until they release the V2. 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 .

That's is Bandai's style. Later will release together with the back packs, lol!

But I like the original look hence, like the Strike and Impulse, I only get the version that comes out the most on the TV.

Hope V2 comes out soon and hope no gimmicky release, like regular and WOL version...

nah, V gundam wont get any flashy decals, most probably just some usual Ver Ka Decals, unless got some 3rd party special decals specially for the V Gundam, but totally, i'll rather wait for the next V gundam variations, look at wat they've done to MG Crossbone Gundam laugh.gif
