I doubt it will melt.. but discoloration will happen very quickly.. if you use gundam markers on them, those will fade first..

thanks. ill shift it to a better spot so that itll be out of the sun for the most part. the discoloration im kinda ok with... treat it as weathering LOL. but just worried it will deform. will test it out and see how i guess.

haha...I try before putting my SD shining gundam at my car dashboard with his signature pose one leg kicking.....then after some time the joint started to loose (might be because of sunlight exposure) and the leg now cannot be pose up again.....will loose and slowly fall down.......

hahah sure the plastic deforming lah tu. but other than the loose parts, the color how? all faded?
i put some matte topcoat but dunno if that protects anything. i just want him stand here i guess....

Hmm, is it because the polycaps got weakened rather than the plastic itself melt?

Melt might not be the right word to describe it... it more like degradation due to the uv rays from the sun. But that will happen after the discolouration... After the colour goes away, then the plastic hardens, then slowly cracks and shatters..

Color is still ok since shining gundam mostly is white color......but if ur zaku red color then might be faded color.......

Yeap..I also think becoz the polycaps got weakened since the kits is quite old........

yah. i think i gonna try hang him from my rear view mirror. at least less sunlight and i still get to admire him. i think that would be the easiest as also hard to stand him up without gluing him to a non slip pad or somethin.

can vouch for loose parts.

Dear Santa Claus

LOL sells you Nu Gundam without funnels included.

And it is 93000yen which is RM 3500+ without tax, price mark up etc

That's why they say hardcore Otakus are one of the richest group of people in the world...

RGS Hobby (Facebook) has it on PreOrder for RM5500. Considering that I got PG Phenex from him at a pretty reasonable price(4k+-ish), I'm expecting it to be more expensive at other stores. This thing is almost double the price of my PC

Thoughts on the nu gundam beast

nu gundam im chill

when freedom and destiny come out watch me sell my kidneys

I am sure Bandai will release freedom and destiny under this line soon. Anything that makes money, sure bandai will sell.

Knowing destiny and freedom, confirm 2x normal price like what happened with metal build. Haiz. Also, 00 raiser

Strike gundam (with plenty of option packs), Astray red/blue/gold, unicorn 3 brothers, RX78, gundam mark 2, wing gundam, Z, ZZ.

Blergh,tired see same suits get limelight over and over again. Would like to see more less known/less popular suits in Metal Structure.
MS such as Full Armor Gundam(Thunderbolts), Ez8, GPseries(GP00,GP01,GP02A,GP03,GP04), Hyaku Shiki or even the Snow White from Wing.

Based on pattern release, the next could be the Sazabi, like Formania bust series.

Yeah, dont worry. Bandai will surely make them to take our money.
