Finally, something that does justice to the Infinite Justice. I wonder why BANDAI cannot make something that is anatomically proportionate like Cosmic Region kits. Milk more profit perhaps, from a 1/144 sized kit which has an MG's price tag.

The beam lance is a bit too short though, but it still looks nice nevertheless.

meanwhile, Zeon's new MS has been made into an MG !!

And I thought I was the most careless one around when making gundams... it seems most of us here had bad experiences for making errors...

I accidentally fixed the neck of my Destiny facing backwards Spent 10 minutes prying open the entire upper torso just to fix that part... But the worst mistakes were when I was making my Blue Frame. That kit had too many small parts which are extremely fragile. I broke the orange peg on the left leg which held the army knife, and ended up using super glue to stick it back...

And also the error when making the giant backpack, where I fixed the rotating joints on the wrong side, so that the blades won't join together to form the sword.

Never do gundams when you're sleepy......ZZZZZZZzzzzZZzzzZZZ

meanwhile.... HG 1/144 Strike Noir...hm..... still not liking the look of it

Our nightmares have turned out to be true.... Fat torso, even fatter beam cannons, anorexic legs ... I'd rather they not release a 1/100...

Or Max Payne... Or Chow Yun Fatt...

testament gundam also uses pistols

If the rumoured Stargazer Gundam turns out to be another joke, CE can go to hell for all they want...

Meanwhile... It's so large, it's comical...

Testament looks weird... the front bending antennae looks like rabbit ears, and the feet is like platform sandals. Oh well, The Outframe has the same legs too...

The A1 is the red-white Zeta... The grey one is the C1 with the big ass cannon. The cheapest I could find for the A1 is RM 135... not sure whether the price has dropped or not, which I doubt though...

Any problems with the articulations? It seems that the older MG Zetas had joint problems, esp for the wings which are only supported by a puny piece of polymer cap, making it weak and loose.

Check the left hand.... it's holding a small pistol. THe right arm has the large ugly claw...

Well, it's a NG 1/144... hence the low price... in fact, $5 is around sub RM 20, which is roughly the price of an NG 1/144 in Spore... So it should be a real one. Don't get NGs

Now Luna looks even hotter without her ZAFT uniform on

Hm... so it's going to be an 1/100, that means it'll be 15cm only... too small I prefer it to be around 18cm, but the F91 is a smaller unit anyway.

The head looks gorgeous... But... look at the elbow... HORRIBLE OLD JOINTS !! It is similar to the ones used the older GW models, where the pronation occurs at the elbow, not the upper arm!! Bad... Bad move for an MG... Change it BANDAI... Change it!!


1/100 Amatu... for the price of an MG Freedom... guess it's the gold plating that makes it so expensive. I'm surprised that BANDAI finally decides to make this unit, yet I'm not that excited about it as it'll be just another Astray with different weapon set.

But good move by BANDAI to make the Amatu

More pics on Amatu and SG kits. The Duel and Buster looks more menacing now with the larger and bulkier armors, it makes them look more military like, instead of the GSD Super Robots...

Oh well, I guess I'll save up for an MKII instead...

Hm... really bad job by Bandai.... the head looks nothing like the lineart, or the 1/144 HG. In fact it looks like an MSiA head In fact, the whole design looks nothing like the lineart (original lineart, not the 1/100 model lineart) suggested.

Hope the 1/100 Legend retains its original design, instead of flaws everywhere.

And for 2700+ yen? ZOMG... 1/100s are getting more and more expensive, yet the quality is disappointing.

http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/u5purakiya/hs-gun.html

Models coming out in the near future...

Looks like the 1/100 Legend is going to be better looking than the IJ and SF. It seems that Destiny and Legend are much better kits than the horrible duo. Maybe it's BANDAI's way of compensating ZAFT as they made them look stupid in the anime.

The Amatu is freaking shiny... but I think the it's going to suffer the same problem as the Blue Frame, which is the overweight backpack that makes it difficult to pose.

The sazabi looks great, but the price.... hm....

http://i4.tinypic.com/10gep6o.jpg

I've only one word for BANDAI....

Cheapskate.

Why spoil an otherwise beautiful model with the horrible old fashioned elbow joints? Those puny polycaps are never going to last, and it'd probably slide out when posing with weapons, esp those heavy rifles...

Meanwhile the Amatu is just same as any other astrays, with new backpack and head.... it looks real nice, but I won't buy an 1/100 with the price of an MG. Even with bling-blings.
http://i4.tinypic.com/10gepfc.jpg

LOL... CAD program cacated...

However i think the new MG F91's head is better looking, although it doesn't resemble the original lineart. In fact it looks more like something from CE

Can you post a pic of your 1/100 F91? I've never seen one before, only a 1/144

http://www.geocities.jp/a2crafts/just.htm
After modding it, the body looks better... but the puny head.... aarrrrrggghhhh....

IWSP?? You could get it anywhere I suppose.... But it's only in 1/144 HG

I suppose it's a 1/100 then, coz of the small size I thought it was an 1/144 Nice F91, but for 15m MSes I think V2 looks nicer... Small and sleek with only the beam wings, although the assault buster makes it look bulky.

Duelling stand?

MG 1/100 Aile Strike Out? I wonder why? It's a 3900+ kit, which you'd probably get it around RM 150-170 if you really look hard for it. If I'm not mistaken it's probably around RM 150....

A1 and C1 is around RM 135.... rougly in that range, unless you manage to reduce it a bit more....

I don't know which one you'd like, but the MG strike has better mobility. The Zetas cannot twist their waist due to the transformation mechanism though...

Happy modelling...

Get an MKII instead for great mobility

Well, my advice is to go with the usual 1/100 if you don't wish to get an MG. Don't get an 1/144 as it is too small. The only good thing about an 1/144 is its smaller size so that it's easier to store.

An 1/144 lacks details, and there are more parts which are uncolored obviously. I've thought of buying 1/144s, but when compared beside my other 1/100s, I gave up on them.

Of course, there are several 1/144 models (eg CGue deeparms) which should be made into 1/100... but there seems to be no chance of it happening.

BUt, but but.... Go for an MG Strike... I don't like strike, yet I feel this model is very well made.

http://i3.tinypic.com/116i2p5.jpg

Nothing much, still the same thing... But the more I look at the Strike Noir, the more I feel it's boring... What's with the Justice/Owashi Akatsuki flight pack look? Make something new and innovative...

But Amatu is

A comparision between the 2 upcoming mechas...

The MG F91 is horrible, the more I look at it, the more I detest it. The worst, and I repeat, THE WORST problem is the elbow joint. OMG why the heck did BANDAI use the old joint that's so outdated? The Rafflesia stand is indeed unique, but somehow it reminds me of some mutated flower with evil fangs sprouting from the ground, trying to eat the F91
http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~midori-b/newpic/nes-g0345.htm

However the Amatu is real sweet... Somehow I won't really buy it considering that the gigantic heavy backpack is going to cause problems when posing the kit.

If they decide to use the newer designs where the arm pronates at the upper arm, it'd be better; and poseability would not be sacrificed anyway...

Weird? Not at all... In fact it's a wise move to make it into a 1/100... 1/144 often lacks detail. And since they are basing it on the 1/100 Red Frame (+ Blitz Arm), there's no reason not to make a 1/100. Furthermore, they can charge us an MG price

And WOW ! The Amatu is damn shiny...

It's a different Amatu... The Scratch built one was the uncomplete mecha in the manga, note the flat soles, absence of the sharp blitz like shinpads, and no swords on the hips.

The upcoming one from BANDAI is based on the Amatu Mina Custom, where the pilot customized the mecha design, giving it pointy heels, two swords, and of course the shinpads.

I must say the flat soles one look nicer (although a thicker sole like the 2nd L would be better), maybe the female pilot of the Mina Custom decided to make hers more feminine by giving it stilletos

Dragon Destiny??? Love the color scheme, Scarlet is always the hottest color But enough of the super robot war robots in Destiny...

Well... the new stargazer side story rumors have been going on for sometime now. We've already seen the Strike Noir, the new busters and duels... and now the only obscure one left is the stargazer.

I've never heard that it was an Mobile Armor, but from what I've read since couple of months ago on various forums, it seems that it might be a new MS, or a new space vehicle for deep space exploration. There's still no confirmation about it's real identity yet.

But, there was a promo pic about stargazer sometime ago, showing a tiny white MS with super-long beam thrusters... people were speculating that to be stargazer, but again, no confirmation... the pic is now at the main site...

Oh well.... judging by the designs of CE suits.... I'm not that enthusiastic...
