Speaking of Delta Astray.... ZOMFG horrible.... V2+ Eva.... aarrrggghhhh...

Enough is enough, I'm going to watch the original Victory....

Nevertheless, Kira is not done with pissing Athrun. First he steals his fiancee, chops up his new transformer toy, mind washes him into a Lacus puppet; and now steals his new toy yet again

Try here: http://zeonic-corps.net/

But they release volume by volume... I've only the first chapter where Jess photographs the Testament...

Is there any where to get the Taiwan version of Hobby Mag around here? I missed a lot of issues since the Sri Petaling shop that I used to buy from has stopped selling them for so many months already

Finally....

hope this is true.... MG Destiny

And the inevitable Strike Freedom, which would probably be some extra parts stuck onto the MG Freedom...

Oh well....

No... get an MKII ver 2.0 instead....

I still feel freedom is too fantasy like, Aile strike looks more military, although I am not a strike fan...

it's really stupid for Litt Takk to set the market price of the 1/144 HGs at 99.90... for that price I might as well get a 1/100 from other model shops, instead of wasting my money on puny 1/144 with a price of a 1/100...

For the stand, well... make one using a clotheshanger Sure it doesn't look as sturdy as those bought from shops, but it sure serves its purpose...

LOL.... how cute....

It's stupid for Litt Takk to jack up the price of 1/144s to 99.90 or even more... For that price I might as well get a 1/100 from model shops.

As for stands, well, make one from a clothes hanger instead... will cost you probably RM 1

Well, you can check out the IJ's articulation from dalong.net... Legend should take a while before the site has it, but I think it should be similar to the IJ...

Personally I won't get the Strike Noir, as it looks really cheezy.... Furthermore it's a 1/144 which would probably have a jacked up price since it comes with a DVD (mostly useless though as it's in Jap)... Look at this.... the wings just don't have the feel that it's a part of the mecha, as if two big parangs are taped to the back

Eh?? Different universe... so cannot compare leh...

What BANDAI does best... release lots and lots of recolored versions of older models, or combine different backpacks with different mecha, and VOILA... a new release ZZZzZZZZzZZZzzzZZ....

I wonder why they want to release these kits... for example the shark mouth ball... if modellers really want that shark design, paint it DIY... And the Aile Strike Dagger is yet another mix-match that modellers can produce themselves. Just buy two kits and combine them.

I feel the Zaku I is a much better choice than the boring Strike Dagger, since it has more weapons... But's it my personal opinion

I wonder why BANDAI doesn't want to spend time making new kits, we're still waiting for 1/100 Gaia, Saviour... or maybe the 3 original druggies mechas... Oh well, at least they decide to release the Amatu

BANDAI doesn't have to rush out kits, but at least they could try to make something new, instead of releasing all those recolored kits... Making recolored kits is not going to milk our money, as I don't see much modellers buying seperate colored ones. Who will buy all the ZAKUs in GSD??? One will be enough, two will be more than enough...

I suppose there won't be much new MGs after the release of F91... Probably we'll get more recolored ones...

well, if they release more new designs, they might actually get more sales, hence more profit... provided the new designs are good of course...

Imagine a year full of recolored versions of the same mecha....
Strike
Strike Rogue
Strike Phase Shift Off
Strike (insert name) version
Strike Snow version
Strike Camouflague version
Strike Desert version
Strike Night version
Strike whatever version

I don't mind the various versions, but if that's the only thing the release in a whole year... I'll be shocked...

MG Windam... No way

I like the design of the flightpack more than the mecha itself... The mecha is too skinny, especially the bony legs. The boosters on the calf looks like it's stuck onto the leg instead of being part of the leg... And the two seperate back toes look like chicken feet turned the other way round.

If only Windam was put to good use in GSD instead of being cannon fodder...

I wish they could include the normal parts for the unfinished Amatu, so that you could interchange between the Mina Custom Parts...

But WHAT A MODEL !!
Too bad it's a MG price... I'm been having my sights on an MKII Titans for some time now, but this has made me rethink all over...

With the experience of the 2nd L whose backpack is extremely heavy, I suppose the Amatu may have the same posing problems... So it's still the MKII I guess.

meanwhile the Buster Verde looks to have loads of gimmicks

Then you will not have the gold plated feet anymore, unless you spray them yourself

Now waiting for modelling sites to make (and mod) this beautiful kit...

^ Here's more... Now I really have to think before making a purchase... this is too good to be true...

Meanwhile, spy shots for Stargazer have been released

More bling? At least it's covered with black plates, which suppresses some of the bling... Well, the black parts are extra-finished too though...

At least the bling is more bearable than that of Akatsuki's bling bling all... The original bling Hyaku Shiki at least has a dark internal frame to reduce the toy-like glitter...

Waiting for more Stargazer pics to be released....

I think it'll probably be white and red... it's just the pic that makes it look pink... But what appears in the anime may not be what the model looks like, the best example would be the Aegis and both the justices... Scarlet in the anime, peach pink in the model....

I take back what I said yesterday about Stargazer being nice looking.... Even God Gundam looks less cheesy with the big ring at the back...


I think CE's designs are incorrigible... Delta Astray anyone?

Terminator?? Or like Event Horizon where the machine went to hell and became evil.... muahaha.... still hate the ring...

http://www.gundambase.com/community/news_v...=1&news_idx=252

If only the elbow joints was more like those of the MKII, or the MG Strike, Freedom... I still don't understand why the decided to use the old HG1/100 style rotating elbows...

But it's beautiful...

Meh... Amatu is the best...

Hail the Master....

Well apparently BANDAI copied Fitchen Foo's idea for the stargazer gundam...

Or was it the other way round?

http://fichtenfoo.com/v-web/gallery/FF-ShinobiStrike

Despite being MGs, those that you've mentioned above are quite different in their own way. For example, the Strike and the Freedom costs around the same, yet the articulation is slightly less detailed and intricate as the MKII which is cheaper at 3500yen. Ex-S is the largest and has the most abundant parts, while the 1/100 IJ and Amatu is, well, only a HG.

Zeta ver 2.0 is not really worth the price, due to the inclusion of a gigantic stand... I mean, unless you like the stand very much, otherwise it's not really worth the extra money... Of course, if you're a Zeta fan, that's another matter. The Zeta's main attraction is the transformation, yet how many times do we transform? It'll only loosen the joints. Same case goes for the AEUG MKII (4200yen) compared to the Titans MKII (3500yen)... it's basically the same, yet the AEUG has the stand while the Titans has a new improved waist.

From the list above, a 'poorer' choice would be the IJ and the Legend... Followed by the Amatu, yet the Amatu is better with the chrome and it's better proportions. IJ's proportions are really out.

For the MGs, the Strike is the best deal for the money due to the good articulations and the inclusion of a launchpad-like stand... The freedom at the same price comes with a boring stand WZC... I can't comment much, but due to it's surreal and angelic design you can't really make poses with it... It'll look weird in any stance other than the floating angel pose we all are familiar with.

My preference will be the Titans MKII.... it's only selling for RM 140 or slightly less (if you manage to bargain).... RM 140 for a ver2.0 MG... compared to the RM 150-170 Amatu.... The Strike is also a very good choice.

These are just my opinions, can't really comment on the EX-S coz I've never touched a real one before.

Angel? As if the Strike Freedom isn't

How's this
