QUOTE(ravager877 @ Apr 6 2010, 04:49 PM) I bought the shining version of MG Wing Zero Custom last time but after about a year the shine became dull so a bit disappointed. Luckily it was on sale that time so didn't hit the wallet so hard. It's a gloss injection kit, and not an extra finish version, so it won't fade.

From this picture, i do agree it looks ugly. Yes, the price is ugly too.

gaiachronicler - haha well actualy start as basic touch up and simple panelling is the best method of all. no need go to that advance unless you really cherish what you buy and collect. well i like to show my zeta you guys but better u can surf at the gallery as here mostly for info then showing my stuff here but i think during my zeta build i still an amateur/noob skill. my latest sazabi is more better than my zeta.

GFF zeta plus (bst) looks really tempting right now. imo the GFF composite 1/100 version too expensive. Not to mention deep striker. anyone has experience in MSIA line? paintjob i know aint that great but they have quite a lot from the MSV line.

GFF zeta was nice but i think you try to wait for the GFFN version i'm sure they will come out sooner or later. the old one I saw the review got lot of problem with the loosen part and posting. but that up to you since GFF zeta plus (5,500yen) was very expensive it self compare to other GFF series. for me if can save $$ i'll fork out the metal composite series better since it has full articulation from MG + way more stable than old GFF here my GFF old picture with EX-S gundam as well as macross VF25 (all of this is 1/100 scale)  and my moded zeta plus wave raider.

wah metal composite GFF limited blue zeta. isn't there a hoohah about GFF composite zeta blue being partially unpainted or something for a GFF 18000 yen?
can't imagine GFF composite coming up with deep striker. shudder.
GFFN doesn't seem to be moving along. bandai seemed to concentrate more on Robot Damashii. but i'll hunt for GFFN ZII.
my main motivation for GFF or MSIA or Robot Damashii line is more for the MSVs that aren't released as regular gunpla.
thanks though chris for the input.

I can say if not too picky the kit is very well done and the painting i see is very nice and accurate, those partially unpainted was the white part but i think is meant to be this way since this kit was transformable and if they fully painted the kit sure will be problem of paint chip later.
well for bandai product we can't predict one because mostly they comeout as a surprize one. their marketing strategy was very good for milking people like us.i can say MSV robot damashii is the best for toy like kits. and the price is just right for those who love straight out from the box and ready to play with it. other than that i think GFFN series may take awhile to build it since those design and kits are more complicated than older GFF itself.

QUOTE(chriswoo @ Apr 6 2010, 05:25 PM) HCM Pro is 1/200 scale and articulation very good. However GFF got 3 series ( GFF (old version), GFFN (new release ), metal composite GFF (Mostly with metal parts and 1/100 scale) and it got varible cool design than HCM Pro and also very poor in articulation since it made to look cool not for playing. Other than that the metal composite is way better articulation since it follow MG design but comes with heavy price tag on it also.
hope it help you with this info. it cleared up all my questions i think  thanks bro how bout comparing quality between GFFN and HCM Pro(durability, colour fading, etc, not articulation) which is better? and is there any full catalog for what bandai have in store for us? i've googled but all i can find are shops that selling online, and not a full catalog with pass present and coming models etc. even bandai official website is dam confusing.

Somehow if you just for display GFFN is well recommended as it has detail better than HCM PRO.

Will see what I can do with it. Damn 1/48, parts smaller than all my PG's parts.  Stupid friend asked me to check and see if my housemate's kid swallowed my piece or not. This post has been edited by Harddisk: Apr 8 2010, 12:40 AM
