-Improve articulations. Old SD rely on body design and polycaps for articulations which is sucks.
-Kitbash/customize SD made easier since they use universal inner frame. Armor can also easier to change.
-As you can see they can change SD proportion as two type. Standard or tall.
-Inner frame is not just their gimmick. More will come out soon.

Lot of old SDs in the past dont even have elbow articulation. But this one the tall frame seem to have elbow joint similar to HG kit. Having inner frame mean the hip joint can be 360 degree rotate similar to newest HG, MG, and RG. Not mention the torso can move better. The posing ability is similar to NXEDGE STYLE, having cute proportion while can pose well.

Only the short (SD) frame included if you buy the standard kit.
The tall (CS) frame is included in full set kit for 1500yen or buy an add on CS frame White for 600yen(seem to also included GM head).

Also the new SD part separation is real deal.

Meanwhile MG F-91 2.0 seems to give lighting effect for chest and booster.

Buy Kotobukiya M.S.G Diorama Chain Base
Got city, desert and moon surface scenery.
Review:

There are also 1-10 hangar base, you can expand those to make bigger space. The main problem is Kotobukiya discontinued these items so you have to look on aftermarket, like ebay :/

Basically this is v1.5 version.

Early review out

Actually top coat does help prevent scratch. My kit after finish paint I forgot to top coat and after fiddling the kit for a while got some minor scratch on it.

Also cut your finger nail. It is more likely scratch on surface

Yeah Ver Ka Banshee will give chrome plated v-fin.
Lucky didnt buy OVA yet.

Unfortunately Bandai already make that. The armed armor DE add-on bundled with manga volume IIRC

------
For today news, today is 30th years of CCA anniversary.
Bandai teasing us with new design frame which everyone guess correctly. The MG Jegan.

Forgot about that. But Sinanju included bazooka is OVA version. He does use that in anime too. Unlike armed armor DE which Unicorn Bande Dessinee only use. I doubt we ever get Bande Dessinee promoted in MG again.

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

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

It is not about size. It is the value of the kit.
Big isnt always better. See the old NG kits.
The palm size means you can display it everywhere including on office table. More flexible to play and good for photography shot. Smaller kit good for macro shot.

Belum cuba belum tahu.
Just focus on newest HG or go into RG line. Its improved so much like MG already.

I dont know why people keep think big is better. Maybe they already see the goodness of MG and no longer look back at other grade such as HG. Used to think that way too so the 1st gunpla kit I bought is the MG and broke it

In my case I dont exclusively collect in certain grade/scale because I equally like all of them. The interest keep grow over time (for example I dont really like grunt units when I was beginner but now I collect them more like Gundam units)

It is not because it is old plastic. ABS plastic is known weaker to lacquer based paint. So Bandai often recommend acrylic based paint for painting instead.

Avoid paint inner frame with lacquer based paint and you will fine.

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)

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.

Cramp or not, most consumers will likely come into the shop. Thats including me. Though the Sogo toys display made me cringey because gunpla like assembled by newbie.

I think you need to see more from out Malaysia, as most Malaysian gunpla shop dont really standing out.

Retail release at 20,000yen.
Other site got list 16,000yen after discount but high shipping cost + probability to get custom tax might as well buy here for less hassle.

Rm800 and below is good price.

If you notice, Toriko didnt panel line and applied any marking sticker on the kit. If want to bring out nice appearance just need more decals and some shading on it.

Today I learnt WAVE make gunpla kit beside Bandai.
