It should be able to move since it's an MG, but I guess there will be an extra open-palm set for the posing of wire launching like the 1/144. However the fingers probably cannot be separated like the MKII or F91 or SF.

Not enugh weapons?
Rifle, Bazooka, Funnels, 3 beam sabres with loads of blades... Still not enough?

SF has 2 rifles, Dragoons, and 2 beam sabres. Ok, the waist railguns doesn't count since it cannot be held in the palms.

Get both? damn rich sial...


Well, the is the recolored ver1.0, but at least you can have an idea of how the ver2.0 will be when it's released.

Nail clippers are actually good enough to trim off the excess plastic, although sometimes the slightly curved surface is a bit of a hindrance. Pen knives are actually quite dangerous (but still effective if you can control the blade) since the blade is quite flimsy. If you cut thick sprues it might actually bend and break.

The best tool to have is still the hobby knife with replacable blades.

In JB... most hardware shops should have those wire cutters, but hobby blades might be a bit harder to find. You can actually buy modelling tools at Pelangi Leisure Mall. Go upstairs and find the comic shop, they actually sell gunpla and some tools there. IIRC, I saw a couple of hobby-knife sets there with 3, 4 blades in them, something like that. Just don't look at the price of the gunpla there.... RM 300 for MG FAZZ... RM 200 for OYW RX78....

I share your frustration in the lack of modelling shops and community in JB... It's even worse in Melbourne now The internet and forums are my only solace.

Well yeah, over here there are quite a number of warhammer figurines and also other board game models, but gundam is still no.1 for most of us here And I can only find one shop in Bourke Street that sells them at ridiculous prices mentioned in a previous post. My friend in Clayton said there's another one in Boxhill but the prices are mad too.

Gundam oh gundam.... Sigh...

For those who can't get enough of HiNU...

OYW. Period

More Amuro action coming up... Nightingale... where are you?

Well, unless you are a huge Akatsuki fan, an MG is always going to be a better choice over an 1/100 save 1000 yen some more, and get launchpad base too

Aiks... don't blame Msian designers ler, it's the Japs work of art, really.

Those things sticking out? Feet anchors to secure the mecha on asteroid surfaces, CCA mechas often have those...

Unless you intend to make modifications or try out customised painting which might spoil the kit, otherwise any MG would do, even for a supposedly complicated one like the HiNu. After all, follow the manual and everything will be fine unless you're building it with sleepy eyes

This is cheaper, no doubt, but the quality is kinda crappy and the size of it is horrendously tiny. Since the scale is very small, the gundams that come with it are really flimsy and ugly. The Meteor Unit itself is not very well made either, as the parts are big and chunky and lacking in details (unless you cut them into smaller separate pieces are paint them individually.

I don't have a unit, but I've opened the box up and checked out the contents before at Aunty Lenny's shop long time ago when I was still in KL. My friend wanted to get one but after seeing the box and contents, he changed his mind.

buy HiNu and recolor it

Don't spoil your keyboard by drooling on it...

is it me or does the feet look a bit malnourished? It would be nicer if it was slightly chunkier, but never mind...

The cables have been improved... There was one issue of Dengeki Hobby in 2005 (March i think) which celebrated the 10 years of MG, and inside the report they mentioned the possibility of having cables such as these. And VOILA !!!

I AM ZE CHAR !!

Yeah, it's the plastic's problem I suppose. All my models have a few parts with those unsightly "plasticky and wavy" patterns on them. Fortunately they are only obvious if you are being picky and shine light at a particular angle to find them. It's not really an eyesore if you just ignore it...

Or, you could paint them

that is soooo tHe YuCK.... Bad photoshop Slapping on every gigantic backpack from CE is not the best way to design a gundam. And it's a 1/144 Blitz if I'm not mistaken... can see the trikeros shield runner...

Well, the gundam is not that beautiful Horrible colors...

The weight of the backpack is a major issue with the blue frame. The puny joint at the back of the torso simply cannot support the pack, unless it is left hanging downwards due to its weight. Besides, the circular joints holding the blades are too weak to support the blades when it's being extended. Play around with the transformation often and the joints will wear out and become loose, causing the blade wings to droop downwards if you try to lift it and leave it there.

Due to the weak joints of the backpack, I have to stick an eraser beneath the pack to make the gatling point backwards instead of downwards when posing in a flying/charging stance. Check out the pics in my gallery and you'll get what I mean.

Apart from that, the Blue Frame is also very hard to pose in menacing looks. Granted, it has the articulate Astray frame, but the bulky shoulder armor restricts arm movements a lot, and most irritating thing is the heavy backpack. The hands can never wield the giant blade in slashing poses (I broke the hand pegs while fiddling with it one too many times), while it looks seriously weird if it is transformed into the gatling turret.

The best pose for it is still the aforementioned charging pose... I think Stardust in Sg Wang has a Red Frame 2nd L which is displayed in this manner, if you get the idea.

Meanwhile, more and more HiNus coming up in this thread... Hurry up guys, can't wait to see your works.

more poison...

the zeta unit 3 box looks like a rushed design... don't think they will use this crappy one for the real thing

No signs of Lagowe 1/144HG anyway... no rumours about it too, but just hang in there... If the BuCue sells well, who knows what BANDAI would do...

100th MS speculation... don't really care anyway, it's just a numberical issue... Yet Char's getting so much attention lately that you can't help wonder whether there's a Hyaku Shiki ver2.0.... Anyway, 4000+ for Char's Zaku just because it has the special stand? Meh... kinda like the MKII where you pay extra 700 yen for the service pad.

http://www.figure.fm/userimages//big/2007030035.jpg
Go figure... HCM Pro's looking sweet... so when will we get 1/144 HG? Don't even think about 1/100 though... that would eat up so much space...

well no one knows how bandai decides which MG to make, but chances are AU models will have less chances to be put into production, with the exception of CE models, probably another Strike or Freedom variant.

Char's Zaku looks good, and even better news is that it's only 3500 yen.. The little crane looks nice although it's probably not as attractive as a customised stand; but I wouldn't want the inclusion of special stands to cause sky high prices. Gelgoog... no pics yet, but judging from how Bandai has improved the older MGs, it should be quite good too.

About the silver Tallgeese above... If only they could release MG Tallgeese... not the mad TGIII, but the good old original Roman Gladiator which pwned Gundams

The-O... I don't see any chance of that getting an MG just yet. It's not as famous as any other non-Gundam MSes from UC such as the Zakus, Goufs, and Gelgoogs; and the chunky design might be make the articulation seem clumsy. The Sazabi which had loads of chunky armour was poor in terms of mobility and posability, and I don't see how The-O would fare better, unless there are major re-designs. If there are re-designs, I don't wish to see any reduction in size like the Zaku ver2.0's legs, or the MG HiNu... Both are superb designs, yet somehow the downsizing might seem awkward to many fans.

Hyaku... well there has been some association with it since it means Model 100 And it's BLING BLING... but anything other than a RX78 variant would be fine. Maybe a Turn-A

I don't think it would be something from AU though.... Unless it's Turn-A... Just a gut feeling.

looking at the runners at dalong.net, there doesn't seem to be any stands included. I've a feeling that Bandai is not going to include stands for any MGs after the release of Action Base, with the exception of special cases like the HiNu. Meh... Marketting ploy to force modellers to buy Action Base

It's the posing... the neck should be fine.

I agree that the Noir is not that attractive as the normal Aile Strike (which is probably the best Strike among all 3 MGs)... The backpack just fails to attract me in anyway... big parangs at the back... ugh... Such a long blade, yet the beam part is shorter than the conventional beam sabre, what's the point of having solid blades then? Might as well carry the normal sabres. Pistols..... no comment except it's really cheesy. Besides it seems that the puny caps holding the folding railguns at the backpack will become loose after repeated posing... so beware... Hope it doesn't end up like my blue Frame's backpack which droops down due to heavy weight.

To be honest, the best MG Strike you can get for your cash is still the Aile since it comes with a really beautiful catapult which is much nicer than any other bundled stand. IWSP has a gigantic backpack which might have posing issues, while Noir... meh, mentioned above.

Having said that, it's thoughtful that bandai came out with tiny yellow pieces for the (ugly) triangular shoulder parts instead of providing stickers.

^ so?

So fix it quickly and post pics!!

You'll probably see them in the upcoming issues of Dengeki, but oh well...

^ Why do you hate your Zeta? If you don't want it, kindly send it to my house Along with the Harrison F91

by the way, did you paint the F91 with Bling? Coz the yellow parts seem golden in the pics.

Anyway, cross your fingers.... Nothing confirmed yet, but here comes the omen.
