Some (like the words "CB") are from Gundam Decals #46.
Some (like the shoulder binder's CB logo, and right knee's CB logo) are from Gundam Decals #65.
The production numbers are custom made whereas the rest are your generic warning signs from Gundam Decals #69.

Hope it helps icon_rolleyes.gif

unless it's those free scale

Not necessarily. The one that i mentioned, Gundam Decals #46 is made for scale 1/60, 1/100 and 1/144. Then there's also another set of decals for the RG 1/144 RX-78-2. So yeah, we actually do have decals for scales other than 1/100. thumbup.gif

Make that MG RX-78-2 OYW as well because they're both using the same frame. laugh.gif

NEXT PG ISSSSSSS

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

doh.gif Oh lame.

All i saw was...
1) the very expensive price (with some gold coating + stand, i'd say around 28,000yen to 30,000yen?)
2) problems posing because of the overly large wingspan and weight
3) problems with the wing gimmicks (like the MG)
4) problems holding the heavy beam rifles when it's combined
5) design inconsistencies (Okawara was the original designer, but the PG will follow Katoki's redesign)

All in all, a PG Freedom would've been better. After all, Freedom had more screen time than Strike Freedom in Seed & Seed Destiny.

Unless it looks better or has more details than this, i won't buy one. tongue.gif

Somehow, i got a feeling it'll later be repackaged with HG 1/144 Quanta, like the 1/48 Unicorn head stand and the 1/144 Astraea conversion parts.

The full saber design is awesome. but I think its more compatible with astray design. quanta dont look good with it. looks out of place. the badass vibe overshadow quanta presence. also now quanta like have a cacat wing since both look like a wing with very different style.
*

The so-called full saber is just a simple mod from 007S Buster Sword.



QUOTE(zieraq @ Aug 23 2010, 07:05 PM)
PG SF do surprise me. I bet its gonna be good since 00 also might have the same problem as mention by parody, but it come out perfect. I think bandai engr will do their best to rectify the raised issue. but u guys know me, I just wont buy no matter how much I like it....hehehe tongue.gif

I wouldn't really call PG 00 Raiser perfect. Perhaps you should buy and build one. Then you'll know. laugh.gif



QUOTE(xDarkKn1ghtx @ Aug 23 2010, 07:23 PM)
well his sinanju and wing was pass-able wasnt it?
*

Sinanju was originally his design, so we couldn't compare it with another mecha designer's version. As for Wing Gundam, it was a complete redesign rather than "cleaning up" someone else's design.

Easiest is to compare RX-78-2:
MG 2.0: Okawara (original TV design)
MG Ver KA: Katoki (redesign from TV version)
MG One Year War: Okawara (redesign for PS2 game)

Feelings are mixed. Some prefer Ver KA, some prefer OYW.
But generally, Katoki will make the shoulders bulkier, fatten the legs, and lengthen the legs and feet (see MG Unicorn and the upcoming MG ReZEL. Legs so loooong for what?!). To me, that kind of redesign doesn't suit a fast aerial Gundam like Strike Freedom. I'd personally prefer Bee-Craft's slimmer and sleeker design.

So this is considered as Katoki's 1st PG? why didn't they ask Okawara to do it? Or maybe they want Katoki to get more exposure? But, i do agree that for an agile/aerial gundam it does not fit to have such a bulky design. Unless they want to redesign the whole thing which is impossible.
*

The name Katoki itself sells. That's why he had his own line of MG. And yes, i think this is Katoki's first PG, although i can't really confirm.


Problem is, like what nazrul90 have said:

...sometimes Katoki sacrifices mobility and articulation for looks and aesthetics (think Ver KA). doh.gif

I though Sinanju's articulation was godly for a gundam its bulkiness? It depends on his mood and enthusiasm maybe? for his first PG i don't think Katoki himself wants to screw up right?  sweat.gif
*

You'd be surprised to see some Sinanju conversion kits which look ultimately better and bulkier but have the same "godly" articulations as well.
Getting one kit right out of <insert number of Ver KA kits out there> is not by any means godly.
We'll just have to wait and see if there's any MG Sinanju Anime version that features any noticeable improvement. brows.gif

The fact that Bandai released the MG Unicorn Anime Version with improved knee joints indirectly struck a blow to Katoki's image. Who would buy an MG Unicorn Ver Ka now?
I'm guessing no one. sad.gif

This PG, in a way, is a form of respect to him and for him to redeem himself.
