MG Marasai is sweet. Spot on proportions... mean looking monoeye.

Hope it comes with the Feyadeen as the stock beam rifle looks more like a pathetic pistol than anything menacing.

I wonder what inspired Bandai on to make MG-fy the Marasai; after all it isn't exactly an iconic anatagonist suit in Zeta, nor did it had significant cameo time in Unicorn anyway.

It's most likely dark olive-green as shown in the Unicorn rather than black... but yeah a darker shade of colour is more badass than orange.

Love the pump action shot gun.

These minor alterations are somewhat unnecessary. They don't look particularly nice compared to the AEUG version, and they are pretty much non-functional either.

http://dalong.net/review/mg/m151/m151_p.htm

I'm surprised that it only got 98 points when most of the recent MGs tend to exceed 100.

It is indeed an awesome looking MG, yet somehow I don't like the fact that they deviated quite far away from the original Duel design.

Certain changes are good, such as the redesigned turrent cannon which can be held in the hand, the shoulder design which resembles the Strike's frame more, and of course sleeker proportions in particularly the chunkier-looking leg armours.

However some things shouldn't have been messed around, in particular the Assaultshroud's shoulder armour parts, the barrel of the rifle which now looks so skinny compared to the original large bore, the unnecessary and awkwardly-placed smoke grenades (??actually what are they??) on the top tail fin, and the additional ankle guards. The Duel's attraction is its simplicity and basic design - those ankle guards are redundant in stock mode.

It's still a very sweet-looking kit, but I'm gonna give it a miss. Save 4200 yen

Usual Bandai gimmick.

Then again, you probably would have quite a lot of spare beam sabres lying around that you can use with the Heavyarms.

fck... Banshee's boxart is sweet even though I still think the new weapons are too cartoonish than practical.

Delta gundam is too expensive due to bling bling and it is based on the HGUC Delta Plus hence the problem with proportions and skewed face persist.

Meh... still gonna go for HGUC Banshee and Jesta once HLJ restocks them.

I don't mind the new flamboyant collar, if anything it actually adds to the effect of looking like a lion's mane. Always thought the Banshee's antlers look more like a stag rather than a lion.

I like the name Banshee, it does sound badass, yet I prefer the name "Kirin" that was rumoured when the very first Banshee lineart came up. Fits the antlers and also would be a suitable 2nd unit to the Unicorn. Nevertheless we all know why it is referred as a lion due to the tapestry.

MG Age... plain jane.

dafuq?

Whoaaaaaa... awesome shit... but nah, not an actual release.

Quite true. The level where I house my 1/144s look damn empty... Probably can utilise some tall action bases to make flying poses.

The ones where I put the monoeyes are full

Detolf comes with a leash for you to drill into the wall in order to stabilise it. I skipped this part coz cannot drill into rented place otherwise sure kena ***. And yes, it does shake a bit, more so for me since mine is planted on a carpeted floor.

Robot Damashi is a relatively new line of action figures that replaces the old MSIA line.

The scale of RD is quite variable. Some of them are approximately the same height as 1/144, but generally they are slightly shorter and have weird-looking proportions. Given that it's a ready-made toy, the paintjob on the kits can vary from kit to kit but the good thing is that it's more durable than gunpla (it's a toy after all!)

Have a read: http://gundam-eclipse.com/topic/4275648/1/
You can also see the difference between the HGUC and RD versions of the Zulu @ ngeekhiong : http://ngeekhiongex.blogspot.com/2012/02/r...lu-part_13.html

I personally won't spend money on RDs... For me the process of assembling gunpla is much more fun than the end product. Plus RDs are more expensive and not necessarily better than HGs, especially HGUCs of recent years which often have intricate details.

Looking fairly decent, but time to pick on certain stuff:
1. Scaled down Trikeros. This is one of the cooler-looking weapons (albeit fairly impractical) in Gundam, why dumb it down?

2. Smaller V-fins don't look as good.

3. Side skirts look a bit weird too but can't see much from this angle.

I wonder why Bandai chose to scale down Seed MGs compared to their 1/100 counterparts, yet decide to elongate the limbs of the Destiny MGs... Too much mucking around...

Please don't screw up the Aegis.... Couldn't care less for the Buster

There's only one colour, isn't it? The psycho frame of the OVA version is transparent orange with the glowing effect under UV light.

Unless you are also referring to the green frame of the ver Ka Banshee as the second colour.

Now that actually looks like 3 different shades !!

Let's wait till dalong.net shows us the runners and see...

^ tastes like tofu

And the Gundam's napalm + Zaku's leg missile launchers !!

Chinese gundam forums are usually bloody awesome, although many of them don't know how to resize their pictures before posting hence it'll blow your bandwidth.

I see... NIGHTINGALE !!
Now this issue of gundam weapons looks like it's pure awesome.

And is it just me, or does the RG MKII look really off?

That, and the face... hard to explain, but it just doesn't look right.


The bazooka still looks too small for a 360mm calibre although I'm pleased that they extended the length of the barrel.

I know I'm picking bones from eggs here... I reckon it'll look swell with the G-defensor, but no... not buying it

HGUC Banshee in Unicorn mode comes with the bazooka and un-deployed shield.

Might as well buy an MG Freedom... can enjoy the building process too.

Hope you're all right...

If the Titans version comes with two different pieces for the shoulder and chest vents but the AEUG doesn't, then obviously the Titans version is a better choice. But since it's the same price, maybe the AEUG would come with those pieces as well, unless it comes with some other additional pieces but if so surely it would have been mentioned in these promo pics.

Bloody bandai marketing gimmick...

Yes. And that's the whole point of Bandai bundling the Flying Armor and G-Defensor together.

Not a fan of clear versions, but man this does look awesome. Although nub marks will still be a pain.

Hm... worth pondering... although it'll be even more fragile as RGs are already pretty delicate to begin with.

Dom Tropen !!

whoa whoa whoa don't underestimate the power of oldfags. They are the ones with enough money to spend on plastic... RG Dom would surely be a hit.

HG Aegis is already pretty fragile... So many swivelling and rotating parts which are connected to flimsy polycaps....

Don't think they'll ever come out with an RG Aegis, as the upcoming MG Aegis would be more than enough to satisfy the fans.

Red Geara Doga?

Yes please.

But damn... it's a bandai "exclusive"
