HG all the way. I rather see my display cupboard with 100++ various mobile suits in HG than 2-10 mainstream mobile suit you are already bored with it in RG,MG,PG which is lack of variations.

This came from person who only collect only MGs in 1st year of gunpla hobby 9 years ago.

Though P-Bandai now makes me stop collect niche mobile suits

yea, agreed that HG got various of choice. but i still prefer the MG because of the size and detail.

But HG is cheap as low as Rm30 which is no problem to me. Already survey resin kit market, most conversion resin kit are just a detailed version of existing kit, e.g. MG Strike Freedom. B-Club is out of reach and never make new release anymore. Been eyeing RG conversion kit GP00 Blossom but rather wait in HG or RE100

Haha yeah HG is cheap compare to mg but recently most HG now a round rm 80 above and with lot of variable to collect become more expensive than 1 MG or PG however mostly I go mg because I do modification otherwise HG kinda great scale to save space.

HG kits priced RM80 seem to be at good price if big or got many things inside. For example HG Thunderbolts line.
The basic GM style bundle one is priced at RM30-60 only.


----------------
Btw PG Astray Red Frame Kai preorder opens at Crux @Rm950. Seem good price(was expecting Rm1k above)

I can't really bring myself to like scale of HG and RG (except for big kits like kshatriya). BTW, are older kits like Zaku II Johnny Ridden weaker in terms of plastic quality? I've did 2 MG (red frame bandai and strike noir (DM)), the dragon momoko was the first kit I've ever painted with a lot of mistakes. But it didn't really break or anything when I was putting the kits back together.

The plastic of the zaku seems very weak (post paint). Did the paint made it a lot weaker? I've so far broken 3 parts already.

hmmmm depends what you love, HG has more variety & faster to build. While MG releases are limited =(

I started doing MGs before i went all in in HGs

i only buy 1/100 or bigger. anything smaller, it's either completed figure or SD.

1/144 just too small to look nice on display unless it's giant robot.

personal preference.

and depending your display style.

if all cramped in a detolf it will look untidy & messy and really see nothing unless you go in closer.

if put 1 or 2 on table, then better.

I do like mg better because of its weight. And size.
Maybe because i have large hand.. Holding a hg or rg kinda feel small.
But i do have hg n rg more then mg because of money..
Never feel pg yet.. Cant comment i like it or not..

Yeah. This is another one of my preference as well. I can't really bring myself to stuff my cabinet full of kits. It's just not my taste and I find it really messy.

Displaying a few kits that I made sure I like and put effort in is what I'm trying to build up at the moment. Though I only have 3-4 kits now but I can't imagine crowding the entire cabinet full of gunplas....

This gives me nightmare but understandably some would like this.

also i believe many just enjoy snapping kits in their spare time so after finish, might as well display them. usually they don't paint because painting takes way too much time. they prolly don't sand nub marks too. it's much more relaxing that way no stress of feel not enough time.

That was analogy anyway. I dont have like 100 units HG to display in single shelf. My actual display is only 10 unit HG mixed with display scale cars and tanks. Some Nendoroid figure and toys inside too. But I would do that if I buy 2-3 Ikea detolf. Standard Katoki style standing pose only. No Action Base inside so no cramped style display but multiple glass detolf with enough room for HGs to stand.

As I said in previous post, HG is portable size. You can put it anywhere including office table. Not only in glass detolf

It is a sign of hobby passion. There are similar collecting hobbies out there and they are not much different than gunpla. They collect and display too.

Dedicating a showcase display is better than just err showcase boxes of unbuilt kits...

You might find this messy but this kind of display that attract people more to look into it. Heck gunpla shop would be boring if got nothing to showcase similar to this.

Even toy shops don't cramp. Gamer's arena's display is very sparse.

So are most hobby shops.

Only ones that are cramp are probably those shops in Amcorp mall because they need to display their products for potential buyers to see and most aren't model kits.

I think only IT Toy have alot of display but they don't feel cramp due to the cabinet size & shop size being very big.

Usually Indie shops will have cramp display due to space limit, just like apartments.
