JJ always late one, they are all depending on uncle Litt Tak...Last two weeks ago only MG epyon arrived in Mid Valley...but not sure if the uncle decides to make it a mass distribution...Any emergency warehouse sale in the horizon? brows.gif

So it looks like everybody will get an even chance to win the prize regardless the price of the model kit, is it correct? Then borong SD kit will be advantageous

u thk Delta Plus' sabres can attach beams while stored in the shield?

Seems possible at this stage given that the holes are facing forward. It may look awkward as the beam sabres are tilted when stored in the sheild hence if you attach the beams it will appear senget.

QUOTE(reehdus @ Jul 26 2011, 11:32 AM)
Here's what I think:

1. Jesta looks really interesting, when the GM ECOAS version came out, I told myself the Jesta will look tonnes better. And it does. But I really hope they don't make the visor a part's swapping gimmick.
2. Beginning J - meh. The beginning gundams never really looked good to me because I guess they were never actually real mobile suits, just model kits sad.gif
3. I love Sinanjus but I might just pass on the white one since I've already got the red HGUC one. Probably you're right, it wont have the beam rifle nor the beam axes it seems. Losing all those in exchange for movable beam sabre gimmick and bazooka...is it really worth it?
4. Bad colours on the Unicorn sad.gif
5. The other two stuff on the shield are grenades I think. Delta plus, Rezel and Zeta all have the same or similar transformations. I still prefer the original Zeta. It was original and interesting then, now it's just gimmicky. And the rifle on the Delta Plus. Why is everything so thin? Looks like a damn anorexic MS.
6. I would like to see a Delta Gundam but it's a mobile suit variation so it may not come out. So I'd have to say a Hyaku Shiki 2.0 might be more likely (fingers crossed)
*
The white Sinanju and custom Unicorn are kitbashes... not sure whether Bandai will release them or not, but chances are they will in the future. We've already seen the white Sazabi and Hyaku Shiki, plus the upcoming recolors of Zaku Sniper, pink bearguy etc...

From the previous interviews with Bandai personnel, they did raise the possibility of a MG Delta but it depends on the popularity of the Delta Plus and Hyaku Shiki 2.0 (if they decide to produce the latter, that is). I think Delta Gundam shouldn't be a huge problem as 1) it's almost identical to the Delta Plus, just need to change a few external armour pieces and accessories 2) The transformation mechanism is exactly identical, it's not as if it's different eg between Zeta and Rezel.

Things that may go against the MG Delta - Relative obscurity, although that didn't stop the release of HGUC Xeku Eins. Price, due to bling bling, is more likely a bigger deterrent as Bandai did suggest that MGs will not be a priority no thanks to rising production costs.

As much as I like the Delta Gundam, I would prefer to see an MG Hyaku Shiki Kai in FA mode. Not a fan of the alien head, yet the additional armaments and armour make it look much beefier and badass.

Get both HGUC versions because:

1. You get to display both Unicorn and NTD modes side by side. No further need for transformation gimmick if you have two modes on display together.

2. Better articulation. More stable parts.

3. Buy both HGUCs and you'll still have spare change. Can get an additional cheap HGUC, or spend it on action bases instead.

4. Fits better with Kshatriya due to same 1/144 scale.

And don't forget to buy a HGUC Sinanju... then make a battle diorama with all of them.

hmm. Maybe i might get the HGUC one then. Plus, I'm also interested in HGUC hazel or gaplant. haha.

Painted Clear Red on psycho-frame, Gunmetal on fingers/arm/leg joint and thruster/some part on shield, Military Blue on feet and bagpack, Ultimate Black on beam rifle and ammo pack.. the rest of part i left untouched



Pros:
1.High details for HG kit... almost look same with MG counterpart
2.V-fin is mold in yellow color.. which mean no need to paint(unlike HG 00 Gundam yawn.gif )
3.More articulation for leg.. the leg bent better than MG ver Ka but still cannot do the kneeling pose
4.Taller than your average Gundam
user posted image


Cons:
1.Lame clear red for psycho-frame.. i can stand the whole body but not for X-shape clear red on shield..(in the end i paint all the clear red)
2.Four beam saber holder yet no beam effect included... at least put one pair doh.gif
3.Yeah, no bazooka included too(i can live with this) maybe i will get the normal version soon
4.back skirt keep falling(the one that can show and hidden the thruster) i would prefer fixed skirt instead
5.High details mean lot of panel lining need to done... please dont let your kit in plain look
6.hmm, is only me that have loose head?


Final Verdict:
user posted image

If you decide to choose between HGUC and MG, get the HGUC instead since this one have less fragile and high articulation than MG.Plus, you can get both form in HGUC with cheaper than MG price.. maybe if you have some money to spare, get the limited bundle with 1/48 Unicorn Head
That all for today.. now Bandai, how about a HGUC release for Full Armor Unicorn? wub.gif
