Hi all

Need some comments/consultations from you guys, I was planning to get myself a MG Exia ignition mode but after seeing some reviews about the kit particularly the leg problems, i don think i have the same urge to get it anymore so i wanna whether the normal MG exia has the same exact mold/mechanical designs as the ignition mode or its completely a different one?

Thanks in advance yo~

Thanks for the reply bro, so i take it that the leg problems particularly posing are really that bad?

btw. any sifu here could recommend me what MG model should i get? I have some spare time now and I would like to get back to Gundam modelling since i stop like er.....2-3 years ago?

Heheh i know its really sounds spoiled of me to ask which model but frankly speaking I'm out of touch from Gunpla ever since I switched to other toy collectibles and I would like to use the spare time i never have right now to do some model fixing instead of collecting ready made figures. Hopefully uou guys could recommend me some models that doesn't cost more than Rm200 tongue.gif kinda out of budget at the moment

Thanks once again yo~ wink.gif

Ignition mode basically same mold/design/inner frame with normal Exia but with some extra in it like Unicorn HD,Strike Freedom FBM
but if you really like Exia kit, i suggest get the HG... or maybe RG(dont release yet) brows.gif

Nah, not really a hard core Exia fan, it just so happen this kit caught my eye when it was first released at the "premium price" and also the LED gimmick that lights up the GN drive....Now i totally lost the 'feel' to buy it after reading that the LED was too bright to the point where the Celestial Being imprint couldn't be read when it was turned on....din know this kit messed up quite alot hmm.gif

btw. that big cannon your sinanju holds is custom made rite? or it actaully comes with the kit?

for below rm200 I would suggest Infinite Justice, Astray Red/blue or MG Wing. they should satisfy ur interest in the cool looking & stylish factor. Old school mg UC design not stylish, at least to me. They r build more for the mechanical looks.
*
Thanks bro, I.Justice already have in my collection of MG, Blue AStray just the NG version.....MG wing? the old Endless waltz version or the latest non endless waltz version?

Katana + chrome = AWEsome, who wouldn;t like it?

[color=purple]Amen to that, brother!  thumbup.gif
I'd rather go with the blue one. But then again, both Red and Blue suffer from the weak ankle joints (double jointed) and weak shoulders.

Owh, as bad as the MG exia?

FUU!! Sinanju looks stunning~ I might either get Sinanju or Red frame

btw. a noob question that i wanna ask for a long time d.....

how did you guys make your MG figures look more attractive/stunning after assembled? So far i have only heard of Topcoat gloss spraying from people but I doubt that's the only thing rite?

My gunpla noob skills so far are just minor painting using gundam markers and Panel lining but i felt that more could be done to make my MG figures are awesome looking than just giving it mere plastic looks/feel hmm.gif
