my 2 cents - 1/144s are tiny imho, and make terrible display items. 1/100s are just about the right size to display on a shelf methinks.
same reason why although i have a number of revoltechs, tak pernah buka... might consider selling them off too. sigh.

But the problem with MGs for me though is that articulation gimmicks are wasted when you treat them as display items and hardly play with them. Assemble, paint. topcoat, photograph masuk almari and hardly ever touch them again.

Best example would be the 2.0s. Ooooh nice superb inner frame detail, nice moving piston design... waaah this sliding part so clever.... slap on the armor and what do you see? fingers, a bit of knee joints, mebbe ankle and elbow joints. It's nice to know that it has all that under the hood, but is it really necessary? I would collect NG 1/100s if their proportions were better, serious.

To each his own then.

^^ Which is also why i think that the RGs are very decent and a clever move from Bandai. With Figmas and Revoltechs etc getting so popular they've decided to release an action figure/model kit hybrid!

As it targets a different market segment, upscaling it to 1/100 makes no sense.

@myky... no wor. I find 1/144 scale tiny, even more so if you are using the standard detolfs. Tiny items makes things look cluttered, me no like.

teehee exactly cos i can't find detolf around here, got only the regular wooden cupboards, where space is scarce. for 1/144s should be just nice sizes.
i very kesian my sinanju and vf-27 cos too big

that's why i build sanguos.. no need to pose much. just paint and pop into cupboard. saves space too! and the very best part? only rm20 each, so you can mess up and no worries still. rclxms.gif cool2.gif
