Bro, u shud start buying other RGs as well for ur collection
M tempted to get RG zeta but coz of my old experience on my mg zeta v2 (broke the waist part), scared to assemble it
I must say, assembling RG's fun but at d same time bad for heart

I have the RX-78 RG and when I get that done, I'm gonna get the Char's Zaku so they can be friends. Always prefered 1/100 scale so these 2 may be the only RG I'm gonna get. Unless they release a RG Sazabi of course.

u should get the RG Zeta just treat it gently.. and u will enjoy the build

I actually enjoyed assembling RG coz they r pretty good told myself to stop assembling gunpla but cudnt really stop tat's why tangan gatal n went to get mg duel today
Since there r so much poison with rg zeta, will try to finish my mg duel asap n my super backlog (1 year dyy) rg char's zaku b4 I get my rg zeta n possibly rg justice (which I dun like d backpack - IJ looks nicer)

yeap, highly recommended built both and i think the RG one is far superior!

my zeta family


posing with HG Zeta


i also hardcore IJ fan (when it comes to SEED series) but once i got the RG Justice, my MG IJ pales in comparison already

^ mana PG

Haha! Of course mg pales if compared with mg, if u ask me, it's due to the intricate details and parts separation it wud b nicer if we can actually assemble the exo-skeleton on our own
Okay la, hav decided to get rg zeta but as for justice, still thinking since it was release shud I get freedom a partner onot coz rx78-2's partner's still sleeping in box, unassembled

PG ar.. tunggu i strike lottery then i get the 2.0 and 1.0.. also the extra finish, etc etc etc

allow me to help u make a decision




i would bring out the RG Zeta but the stressed arm makes me nervous so i dont feel like posing him and taking pics right now but just trust me that it's an awesome RG

1 more RG Justice for instant win

Dang bro wat's with d poison
Actually, m into the gundam itself but not the jet pack
No space to keep n freedom's wings r kinda annoyingly huge due to my lack of space
Lemme consider again gonna b poor if I buy too much kits

just doing my job as part of the community and making sure your shelf has enough AWESOME in it

P.S. when a kit is awesome, you don't need to have it's backpack/wings fully extended to look good

U cant compare both straight up. RG Justice is 2012 release while MG IJ is 2008 release. In that span of 4 years, technology improves, ppl taste change, trend change, etc etc. I agree on technological improvement wise but I completely disagree on the point of detailness as a barometer to judge whether a kit is better or not, to prove it i'll hav to take u back in time.

In 2008 there is no such thing as 1/1 Rx78, the extra detail style on that model is non existent and at the time all models were in plain details; not much panel lines and extra decal works is only reserve for ver ka kits. The trend at the time was simplicity, the cleaner it is the better. U dun hear ppl complaining lack of details were u? Goes further back in time to late 90s n u will c tons of (crude) details to the point of over detail. Ppl of early 00s wouldn't like tat kind of style yet it was release why? Because it was trendy at the time. Now when the 1/1 gundam was build ppl were mesmerize and demands for such details return; multitone parts, decals all over the place was in trend and Bandai obliged and started making kits along those style. Its not as if Bandai could not make em b4, the trend was not there the market didn't demands for it in the 1st place.

Case in point, take a look at The-O. While it was release in 2010, it was stuck in development hell for ages (debuted in hobby show in 2002 if im not mistaken which goes to show u how long it was being delayed). It was develop during the time of simplicity and the parts were big bulky 1 piece plastic, its not as if Bandai couldn't make it in several pieces to giv it more details, tey had made smaller parts b4, its just that there was not needed to at the time it was being design. Now why was is not change to coincide with the trend at the time of release, that u hav to ask Bandai themselves; mayb they r lazy or mayb its too costly to redesign, who knows. But that is besides the point, what im trying to convey is that lack of details in the early 00s kits is not a negative point, tey r just following trends u cant fault that.

I am certain that if that 1/1 gundam didn't exist, all these multitone and decals all over the place (bar ver ka) wouldnt be trendy and we would still hav simplicity designs.

i was nor comparing it straight up, each kit is revolutionary in their own time, every single production from bandai is a step forward, technologically and design-wise.. i understand that they have a gap of 4 years, and of course, seeing as the MG is the latest representation of the Infinite Justice, it's the only thing comparable to the Justice as we don't have (nor will we ever get one, probably) an MG Justice.

people always find something to like about the latest releases by bandai, and you cannot quite stop them from comparing with previous releases, as that's just how it is.. comparing justice with freedom may be like comparing apple to orange as they're both different in a variety of ways

the closest to justice, is the IJ and that's just what i've pointed out.. but do not be mistaken as i do enjoy the build and work put into the kit all the same, just that the newer kit will always (in most cases) be better than the older one, and that's not anything negative, it shows that bandai is doing something right, we can see in the span of 4 years they have already vastly improved, and i thoroughly enjoy seeing the progress

special case for me, before it was even trendy, I was already a fan of decals overload and multi-tone(from Sazabi)

again

for HG unicorn theatre exclusives, bandai can keep taking my money

what else could they come up with?

but I do look forward to own the "normal" HGUC green frame Unicorn

i completely agree with technological improvement point, the newer it is the more articulated, more stable, more sturdy, better build, better materials etc. And i also agree that comparison whether its fair or not will still be made whether we like it or not as we humans like to c what is new and what is better.

im just trying to make a point that detailness (pertaining to RG style of multicolor tons of decal) is not an improvement point nor is it a pros or a cons as most ppl tends to attributes it to. Ive seen many, including this forum that ppl just group RG style detailness as a plus point disregarding the trends.

while this is not actually directed at u personally but to the community as a whole, im just using ur post as a segue . Im not asking for much here, u can compare all u want but pls just make valid comparison thats all.

inb4 HGUC Pearl Clear Banshee Norn

btw, seems like Bandai keeping Banshee Norn's Destroy Mode a secret until episode 6 airs

i'm not trying to take a defensive stance though, the comparison i made was on a whim and it was the closest thing to justice

i agree that while most of the community do not make very fair comparisons, some of us do take the time to think before spamming away at how cool RGs are and all that.. while RGs are bandai's pride and joy, and deservingly so, in fact, i would never make a serious comparison with MGs, for example.. each line is their own, and they all have their own allure

personally, i'm into gunpla for the build quality and the detailing of the final product.. so i'd tend to be biased towards that sometimes and hope it can be overlooked if i do

mana ada norn i hope they release.. but then it's only a matter of time

normal is most likely the FA version
the "normal" one was a expo limited I think
