AGE Gundam looks okay actually, acceptable design. tongue.gif but the head looks a tad too much like Reborns Gundam,
1. head & antenna share same mold
2. has vents in circular shape
3. 'missing' forehead jewel design

other parts looks like hybrid of RX-78 & 00/Exia.

yeah too much complaining even before the anime is out. sweat.gif
let's just accept that this is made for the kids, & decide whether want to watch it cool2.gif

gundam kits are coming out very early, as any other movie merchandises nowadays.. (1/6 figures, TF toys.. all released months before the actual movie itself)
so take time to enjoy the anime before buying the kits. or if u think the design itself kick @ss, then by all means, go get it

for me if at some point of GundamAGE there came a very cool mecha with a good story to back, who knows, that'd be my 1st GundamAGE kit. tongue.gif

I'm not really sure myself.  sweat.gif

I think it's just to show that the war ended and Setsuna didn't have to use his Gundam for a very long time, so long that flowers grew on it.

Conclusion? It's a kit where the flaws outnumber the pros, yet it's unconventional design makes it an absolute fun build. The 1/100 with its larger parts might not be as fragile during the assembling process, but I am sceptical about its durability since the joints will have to support even more weight.
1/100 is floppy for most SEED-era kits laugh.gif

btw grabbed this baby which is just restocked recently, after a few years being obsolete from market..
i bought it bcos i think it's still the most original grunt unit from SEED

gotta say it's pretty good kit.

since on its box there ain't a picture of the unpainted kit,
it turns out the lighter gray actually contrasts with the darker grey more on the actual kit, & the lighter grey is actually very light shade of green
(if anything it actually follows the mecha artwork colors more than everything u see printed on the box)

the kit is more detailed than expected, however not much painting needed except for the red (i use dark pink) on the vents and white on the blade.
articulation is not bad if not for the exposed knee joints when posing & elbows which can't quite get past 90degrees.
comes with optional missile pods on the legs, good rifle which can be attached to its back, a copy of extra right hand & without a big-@ss bazooka tongue.gif
overall an accurate & easy-to-build kit for it's price. thumbup.gif

got it for 40 bucks in penang, shd be cheaper down there in KL.. smile.gif

and oh.. one more thing is the wing binders can't be flipped backwards & upwards much, like what Freedom's backpack can..
kinda wasted all the details there, although minor mod will fix that.. wink.gif
