OBJECTIONS!

I demand not a monoeye but a v-fin as the thread photo! Too much monoeye love Damnit, those mono eyes get their arses kicked and parts chopped off in the last episodes anyways.

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.

most gundam kits look rubbish unpainted and without panel lines lor. doesn't take that much effort to touch them up

and once you start you won't ever wanna go back

saves money too, cause one kit can keep you occupied much much longer

bandai moving towards painted/completed gundams it seems... riding on the popularity of figma/revoltech/hot toys methinks...

eventually methinks gundams kits will no longer be mainstream d... more like tamiya military kits, niche market only.

But methinks it will still sell - Strike Freedom memang popular one... almost every hobby store in KL also got display one completed MG Strike Freedom...

mebbe we can bling bling the rest and leave those chromed ones chromed. hopefully the difference won't be as obvious.

got PS3 beginning gundam game meh? At any rate, I do like the triangle gundam.

if paint runner you will have nubs when you detach the parts. need to touch up again.
