QUOTE(Parody @ Aug 23 2010, 08:49 PM) 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. Added on August 23, 2010, 9:01 pmActually since he was already asked to do it, lets just cross our fingers and hope he gives us a better design instead of screwing it up.

QUOTE(Parody @ Aug 23 2010, 09:20 PM) 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.
...sometimes Katoki sacrifices mobility and articulation for looks and aesthetics (think Ver KA). 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?

QUOTE(Parody @ Aug 23 2010, 09:48 PM) 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.
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.
This PG, in a way, is a form of respect to him and for him to redeem himself. Still, there are a few people buying MG Unicorn Ver.Ka . Just not so popular now. I still remember the unicorn/sinanju hype. It was crazy  . Even though i like SF so much, I would still prefer to wait for the reviews before considering on getting it. Cuz like u said, the price might go through the roof. BUT, if he can somehow get the price to be less than 20k with gold coating on the wing (**** the MG SF wing) then, I seriously salute him  Personally, I dont think they will release an MG Sinanju Anime version so quickly. the 00 hype still isnt over yet. But so, the unicorn hype is just getting started. This post has been edited by xDarkKn1ghtx: Aug 23 2010, 09:56 PM

Well, if that was all the details it has, then i am really disappointed. For a PG line model, I was determined it would live up to its name, being perfect and all  . Lets not give up hope yet. We might have not yet seen the full art yet  Added on August 24, 2010, 8:55 pmAnyway, we still need a mold to judge on it right? This post has been edited by xDarkKn1ghtx: Aug 24 2010, 08:55 PM

QUOTE(golbeza @ Aug 24 2010, 09:21 PM) hahaha, suddenly got argument over Katoki's mecha designs  . Man alive, all of the GFFs are based on his designs liao, i rike 'em all. Well, it's all up to different people's interest in liking the design of the mecha  Cuz they din get Okawara to do the designs i guess. I, personally wanna give Katoki a chance. If he messes it up i will swear to not buy any ver.ka in the future
