QUOTE(MyKy44 @ Dec 23 2010, 02:53 PM) tht one to exhibit how bright the lights can be ma. I know. But that doesn't change the fact that the last picture makes me shiver (i'm not blaming the stand, don't get me wrong).
QUOTE(MyKy44 @ Dec 23 2010, 02:53 PM) along with some dim lights in background, it'd be very nice I agree. But the base was obviously made for the PG RX-78-2 to reproduce this look.

QUOTE(gaiachronicler @ Dec 24 2010, 03:41 PM) if u wan only season 2's mecha. then find Seravee, Cherudim, Arios in Designer Color.the only enemy 1/100 is flag custom from season 1. season 2 i dunno of any enemy in 1/100 Bro gaiachronicler, he mentioned HG 1/144.
QUOTE(Hellscream @ Dec 24 2010, 04:13 PM) Allies- Seravee, Cherudim, Arios, Seraphim, GN Archer, O Gundam, SeraveeGNHW/B, CherudimGNHW/R, AriosGNHW/M and Exia R2. Enemy- GN-X III, Ahead, Ahead Smultron, Gadessa, Garazzo, Gaddess. Main rival- Mr.Bushido's Ahead, Arche, Masurao, Susanowo, Regnant and Reborns I revised Hellscream's list. Added Arche Gundam and removed Regnant because there's no 1/144 kit of it.
Or if you don't want to collect those, bro eClIpSe_R3tr0, feel free to try and become a Setsuna (00 Gundam pilot)'s fanboy.

And oh, 00SS is missing because he's saving up for the Metal Build version.

QUOTE(Kiaku95 @ Dec 25 2010, 10:50 PM) Hi all, isit possible to repaint clear parts? Like , isit possible to paint the red clear parts from the Unicorn with another color?  It is possible. But be reminded that the colors mix because they're transparent. So if you paint clear blue on Unicorn's psychoframe, it will be clear blue + clear red = clear purple.
QUOTE(fini862004 @ Dec 25 2010, 11:26 PM) anyone here know where can get 00 qan[t] full saber pack from dengiki hobby? why got clear version n normal version ... Have you tried Kinokuniya? Clear version is an EXPO limited edition.

A new image of MG DSHC.

I hope this is not the final version because some parts are molded in the wrong colors. And don't tell me they're giving foil stickers to rectify!

QUOTE(Parody @ Dec 26 2010, 09:30 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Looks like the stand connects to the wings like MG Destiny rather than at the groin.
QUOTE(Silverfire @ Dec 26 2010, 09:42 PM) Same thing meaning the problem he mentioned is actually just one but he explained it from different perspective? Anyway, from how I see it, he did one helluva job trying to make a better Gunpla community but then again its just his own opinion. All he did was just being the middle-man compiling acticles from various sources and post it in his blog. I don't really see how "he did one helluva job trying to make a better Gunpla community". But since he already gave up on that blog, i'll just give him the benefit of the doubt.
QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Dec 26 2010, 09:47 PM) My Sinanju is almost done... left weapons and backpack only... Damn it's sexy as hell. Well, yeah. It's curvaceous.

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Dec 27 2010, 11:59 AM) even i assemble MG take more than 1 month  You could spend one whole year on a HG when you only do it 5 minutes per day, or you could even finish a PG in 1 day if you go straight 14 hours. So, a more accurate measurement would be hours.
QUOTE(fini862004 @ Dec 27 2010, 12:11 PM) haha, i think among all Master Grade i take the shortest time is MG figurerise cyclone joker ... only 4 days needed caus i only colored the green side but black side i put it like that only ... Wait til you tried MG FR Son Gokou. 3 hours max to snap fit.

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Dec 27 2010, 09:27 PM) What? No extending arm for the dragon fang? That is THE trademark for Shenlong ! MEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH...... That's Okawara's version. Katoki's version never had an extending arm, hence the "longer" dragon fang.

QUOTE(stevenxsteve @ Dec 27 2010, 11:17 PM) the very same exo skeleton frame as the MG Deathscythe the hands is the worst part  Yeah. Can easily see it's having trouble holding the beam trident. Since Bandai gave weapon-holding hands for MG Destiny and MG Impulse, i don't know why they excluded them from the MGs from Wing series.
QUOTE(lfcreds91 @ Dec 27 2010, 11:57 PM) will there be one for the MG version??? If you're asking about MG Shenlong (Okawara version), i really don't know. But the latest release of MG Wing could be a good sign there would be one.
If you're asking about MG Full Saber Qan[T], you can read about what i have mentioned earlier below:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(Parody @ Nov 26 2010, 05:35 PM) So here is my runner analysis for those who don't know how yet.


 We can see the 3 runners are gated. So obviously Bandai is planning some variation for MG 00Q, which until recently only has ONE variation: the Full Saber version. It's hard to see the gates on the "I2" runner because Dalong.net took a picture of the runner's back. Another variation which is pretty obvious is the runner labelled "GN Frame" which is to be shared by none other than MG 00R. Unless Bandai scraps the plan, we WILL be getting a variation as the runners are prepared for it. This post has been edited by Parody: Dec 28 2010, 12:51 AM

QUOTE(afsarudy @ Dec 28 2010, 03:41 PM) So guys, here is my question: 1. When is the next Litt Tak warehouse sales? Normally they will held it on March rite? 2. Who already own their PG SF?  3. How many PGs you guys own till today? 1. Yes, usually March. 2. Not me. 3. Four. One Strike Gundam, one Skygrapser and two Astray Red Frames (one of it is up for sale at my sales thread).
QUOTE(Lurker @ Dec 28 2010, 07:14 PM) just realised the chest piece of the PG SF is so high... blocking the face The MG never had that problem. But if you own the PG, you should be more worried about this:

QUOTE(golbeza @ Dec 28 2010, 08:05 PM) guys, are all of the PG SF's exposed gold parts similar to bling bling gold of MG SF Full Burst's?  From Deady-INC's pictures, it looks to be less shiny. Check Dalong.net to be sure.
QUOTE(fini862004 @ Dec 28 2010, 08:12 PM) so good if in our real world bandai also will sell 1 part only to upgrade gundam just like inside the anime then we no need waste money buying so many repeat gundam I haven't even watched one episode of GPBBG yet. Is it any good?
Basic economics, dude: producers are profit maximizers. They WANT us to waste money.

QUOTE(stanleysum @ Dec 29 2010, 12:12 AM) bro parody... what do u think of Stirke PG overall? is it good kit? i'm looking forward to get 1 and maybe will get the skygrapser too. My personal opinion? Click the spoiler
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To me, it's one of the 4 GunPla that deserves to be called PERFECT Grade. The other three being PG RX-78-2, PG Zaku II, and PG RX-178 Mk. II (i've taken into account the GunPla technology at the time when the kits were released).
The pros: 1) the best looking version of Strike Gundam ever to be released. The design was taken from the short film Gundam Evolve 08 rather than the one featured in Gundam Seed / Destiny. 2) very very impressive articulations. When it was released in 2004, it had the best articulations, but most recent MGs are almost as good. Only thing i'm unhappy about the articulations is that the upper torso couldn't bend forwards or backwards (like MG SF) and it can't tilt left and right (like MG Exia). But in a way, i'm kinda glad because when you attach the Aile Striker it becomes back heavy and the lack of upper torso flexibilty can help withstand the weight. 3) the price itself. I remember getting my PG Strike for RM462 and PG Skygrasper for RM160 (Skygrasper is the cheapest PG ever!!!). I wouldn't say PG Strike is cheap, but it's reasonable to me. At least it's not overpriced like some other PGs. 4) very nice hatch-open gimmicks. It's a sad thing that most recent PGs no longer have this gimmick. 5) the Grand Slam - a big badass sword with reflective coating. Need i say more?
The cons: 1) LED for the eyes are too dim. This seems to be a very common issue for most PGs and not really a problem. I'm just nitpicking here. 2) lack of stability. As mentioned in #2 above, it becomes back heavy when you attach the Aile Striker. Pair that with the loose upper hip joints, and this is what you'll get after letting it stand for a while.

Yes, PG Aile Strike will do the limbo.
Of course, this could be solved easily if you put it on the stand or just detach the Aile Striker and let the PG Strike stand on its own. I heard PG 00R and PG SF have the same issues, but i haven't really played with them to confirm it. 3) shoulders could move forward and backward at a very small angle only. Could use more movement range. 4) the inside of the shield requires more details. It looks too bland. 5) size - this could be a pro or a con depending on how you like it. I put this as a con because it's just too big to fit into my detolf shelf when it's on the stand. And with the back heavy issue, it means i can't leave it standing, so i must place it on the stand, outside of my shelf, collecting dust.
Some people say the fingers have difficulty holding the Grand Slam, but i've not encountered this issue before. Even without the help of the peg in the hands, my PG Strike's fingers are rigid enough to hold any weapon. I wouldn't worry about this so much because the weapons aren't as heavy as PG WZC's buster rifles or PG SF's combined beam rifles.
So that's about it. Other than the common problem of some loose joints here and there, there's nothing more to say. If someone asks me to recommend a PG, i will undoubtedly unhesitantly say PG Strike Gundam, because it's that damn good.
Please take note, this is just my personal opinion and yours may differ.
Thanks for reading.

It looks like a PG in 1/100 scale.
QUOTE(stanleysum @ Dec 29 2010, 12:36 PM) I really do love the design especially the shield (somehow i luv this shield design more than any other shield in gundam) The shield is indeed nice. I just hate the inside of the shield where they just gave you one huge chunk of white plastic for it.

QUOTE(cloudaeris @ Dec 29 2010, 03:51 PM) if u knoe abit bout structure u'd see tat adding the ring/putty into the empty space or whtever wont strengthen the part. unless ur recasting it using metal Well, i've already mentioned this a few weeks ago but no one seemed to care, at least until someone's PG SF is broken.
QUOTE(profpoyo @ Dec 29 2010, 07:21 PM) looking at how sucks PG SF is( no hard feeling for those that bought it) probably by April already can get at RM500 RM500 is unlikely. Not even PG 00 Raiser dropped to that price. I would guess a good RM600~RM680 and about RM750 if you want the free stand as well.
QUOTE(Vorador @ Dec 29 2010, 09:57 PM) dun be like TS never miss any chance to poke this nice model kit  I admit i haven't considered your feelings. I didn't know you preordered that thing even before you saw the official pictures. You were just relying on Katoki's lineart and the beige-colored prototype. But now that you've seen the real thing, you're a bit disappointed, and you are looking for ways to make it look nicer.
So here's a friendly advice: GunPla is never worth it to be pre-ordered.
No hard feelings, a'ight?
Here's something to help you make it look better with just some simple panel line scribing.

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Jan 1 2011, 01:37 PM) I would you guys vote for the best attractive gundam ever in 2010.... we have seen some PG MG and non grade gundam released in 2010. Anyone can tell which gundam is most popular in 2010???  The most popular (judging by sales in the respective month of their release) is MG ARF Kai, followed by MG Qan[T] and MG The O.
As for the most popular PG, well, there's only one kit released; PG SF. There are too much HG 1/144 scale releases to keep track of. And unbelievably, i don't think we got any NG 1/100 scale released in 2010.
QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Jan 1 2011, 03:47 PM) Sinanju. I'm biased and I don't care.
