How much are we expecting for the added GNsword?

Was thinking to get this kit though.

This much.
MG Exia, 00 and Qan T.
All of them having weak ankle. Which is can make your gunpla fall by just standing straight.
Put on action base also no use. It will make the joint sag over time.

A better look for inner frame. Also Unicorn has a better closed fist hand compared to previous RGs.

Most of the transformation resemble the MG and PG version but with exception for the face change.

The Unicorn face and Gundam face on same one solid piece. You only need to flip 180 degree to change the face. The arm locking mechanism is pretty well done.

Also this made bigger than usual, maybe to make it more stable and less fragile.

Not bad.
I dont believe 3D render pic one but this is the one on display. More likely the color we will get by straight build

ok noted thanks.

guys im back with question, i just finish sanding n building the skirt part last night and the ball joints there r really loose. one touch and it might fall off, wats the best way to tighten it? i read some ppl use mr cement some use super glue but from my understanding, mr cement melt the plastic to hold it together wit another parts so super glue is a better choice if i wan to tighten it n still able to move it around?
*
Ball joint made from what? If polycaps ball joint you cant fix it except use something like paper.

If ball joint made from PS and ABS plastic, then you need to add more layer on it. Paint the joint part to fix loose problem sometimes work but I suggest to use putty as layer on ball joint. Sand it if too thick.

Do not use hobby cement, it is not add layer on plastic but instead melting it. I use putty on ball neck joint for my HG Unicorn before. It works better than layer of paint.

Plastic cement can be used, but it is not a first choice because there are much easier ways. The 'melting' process does not dissolve the plastic piece like thinner dissolving paint, otherwise people will not use it to remove seam lines.

Different situation. Seam line removal is bond the plastic together by melting it.
Doesnt work well for tightening joint which we try to add another extra layer on it.

Heck the normal super glue work best than hobby cement.

ah shit last night sand too much when trying to remove the nub mark, ended up some details lost and the nub mark still there n wont go away  cry.gif

Use hobby knife to trim it first and then sand the part gently.

It works on the same principle, the cement creates hardened layer when it dries. It's not the popular and first choice but it can be done.

Did it myself. It is become not so hard layer and probably will use more cement than needed to get the thick layer.

Also the extra thin type cement cant use to fix loose joint at all. It will evaporate like water when it dries.

The extra thin cement is basically the same as other plastic cement, it refers to the thin brush applicator actually.

Eh nope, I'm using the Mr.Cement Limonene type. It is extra thin solvent with lemon fragrant. The solvent does not bond with ABS plastic like my all purpose Mr.Cement Deluxe. Plus the cement is thin like water than thickness like glue. Not all hobby cement have same feature, there is a special cement for metal part, ABS plastic and such..

Multi purpose hobby cement works if you apply really thick layer but got risk as @advocado said .
Safe route is either use super glue or buy hardware top coat spray Anchor, Mr.DIY etc to apply the thick layer.

I like use putty method though because paint layer or super glue only working for a while before goes loose again.
Putty is harden like original plastic which is the best way to fix loose ball joint.

The future of gunpla.
35% of lineup become regular release, 65% become P-Bandai

as much as I hate p-bandai, I don't think these kits would sell well for a normal release sweat.gif
though that zgokk arm might tempt a lot of people if it was release as a weapon pack whistling.gif

Fenice variant is a hot cake. I finding hard time to find the HG normal Wing Fenice at hobby store.
While Rinascita is popular enough to get a MG.

cant decide on my 2nd gunpla, MG acguy or z'gok or any other gunpla to recommend? prefer something tht looks kinda fat instead of cool looking gundam. my RG RX-78-2 almost done building

Definitely MG Acguy. It is made flawless and the building process is so fun. If you like Zgok get the RG ver instead. The MG is kinda bad.
