Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the advanced engineering of kits like Nu ver. ka as well, and I have little love for Nightingale in any form so maybe i'm not the best person to even be discussing it. However, you have to see where Bandai is coming from. Nightingale has never been animated. Even as a Char suit, it has far less recognition than Sazabi or the Zaku II, and Bandai can't take the risk of making a monster like that only for it to financially fail. Then there's the structural issues - Nightingale would run the risk of MAJOR structural danger if made with Nu/Sazabi ver ka type engineering, especially with those giant thruster pods that stick out on the sides.

You can say it about a lot of mobile suit designs, but Nightingale especially was clearly not designed with the intention of it ever being converted to plastic.
*
don't worry, i've always understood that nightingale would be difficult to be converted to plastic, and at least now nightingale fans have an option (other than 3rd party)
i just have to say i'm not too impressed with it, given now that bandai managed to engineer lighter plastic like in Nu ver Ka.. i would think give it a few more years and bandai could be able to create a nice MG for it

I'm just hoping that the Bandai rep who said the Leo from Gundam Wing would be the next RE 1/100 kit after GP04 was telling the truth. That's still kinda BS considering 90% of the kit is already made via MG Tallgeese, but f*** it - I WANT A LEO! I can finally have my personal 3-unit grunt army.
*
i kind of doubt it.. given that it's pretty much 90% tallgeese, it would be more fitting to release it in MG instead of re-engineering another mold for the Leo
given bandai's current pattern, i don't think we'll like how it's going to be distributed

Not sure why the backpack of the gouf r35 has to stick out so much with the balls.. i assume those are propellants of some kind.. but i'm nit sure why it has to look like balls, and why it has to protrude so much whistling.gif
Other than that, i do love the gouf's design

The backpack was actually based on Zeon spacesuit backpack

I think it will do well with a bit of a more greyish white.. as it is now it's too clear.. and with the puke gold inner frame looking like flesh tone... well.. hence my earlier remark

because u can't just plate gold on a few parts on the runner? whistling.gif
it's pretty much why they released the hyper mode god and master gundam.. so people can have the chance to make Chinan's Master Gundam without plating half plates, and earning more money by milking the mold whistling.gif

Nah, i dont c anything that indicate an improvement to the joint. Only slight changes to the shape.

Also the biggest problem with 3.0 hand is not the finger, its the wrist and I dont think they have change anything. So far all the poses we have seen is it holding the riffle straight down or tug it under the arm, its probably suffering from the same flaws as all other 3.0 hand kit. Mayb thats y Bandai nvr include the hyper mega bazooka launcher.
*
i had issues with the fingers feeling quite fragile.. i broke off Nu ver ka's finger while cleaning the nubs.. maybe i was a bit too forceful but yeah, it does give a sense of fragility
though i do agree the wrist is the main issue, i'm not sure how much they can do to fix it while retaining the posability

QUOTE(Vorador @ Jul 5 2014, 11:46 AM)
erm talk about hand, how many of new MG Sazabi ver. ka owner think that the wrist joint is terrible? (Always fall of when adjusting posture)

TheAdmiral just pointed this out laugh.gif it's an issue with all the new hands

about the 3.0 hands' wrist problem, I never had any problem with it, either mp01 or mp02, both works fine for me  hmm.gif

then i think u got pretty lucky.. because the wrist thing is a prevalent problem among all new kits.. the Nu i built had a problem holding the rifle straight out and the wrist always droops downwards

was at paradigm mall TRU yesterday and was unfortunate to see a young boy detained because he swap the price for a gundam RG.

Kid, if you are reading this now, please pm me. i give you a super cheap deal on gundam la.....

Did u see him do it or u were told? I wonder what he swapped with and was it really worth it

I must admit.. sometimes seeing jusco/tru/parkson gunpla prices i've wondered if there was a way i could swap the prices cos they really are crazy whistling.gif

As long as is due to their own negligence it's ok to try ur luck. Some might honor their price tag n sell u the item.

most of them wouldn't know whistling.gif so u can just bring it there and just pay like nothing's wrong.. 99.9% of the time they'll just run the sale as usual
