Back from my one week trip to KL... famitoy kicks ass... lots of stuff, great prices, and the dude there is pretty friendly as well unlike the other toyshop bosses who are always muka masam.

got myself a HGUC sazabi and a zhaoyun SD for my friend... no time to build though...

There are pics of the Sinanju-Unicorn duel in the novel... but it doesn't look too good as they changed the artist early in the novel. The new art doesn't look as great as the old dude who also drew Gundam: Origins.

Hi-Nu is from Belthorchika's Children, which is the novel version of CCA and hence it's before Unicorn. In the novel there are no Nu and Sazabi, only Hi-Nu and Nightingale... and the Hi-Nu carries a Hyper Mega Launcher not unlike that of the Zeta or the Hyaku Shiki's launcher. No Jagd Doga either, only Psycho-Doga which looks like a miniature version of the alpha azeiru.

The MG Sinanju looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous... It's amazing that the foil stickers actually manage to look better than expected; maybe it's easier to paint the dark yellow vents into gold to suit the stickers rather than the other way round. Yet time will tell whether the stickers' edges will curl outwards like most decals do.

This is surely the ultimate MG !!

Crazy kick ass articulation... it's on par with the Gundam v2.0, if not better. The only thing it can't do is the Zaku squat, but only the Zaku and nothing else can do that.

GSD ZAKU is not popular enough for MG I suppose Then again, maybe they could rehash the Zaku ver2's frame for it hehe...

MG GM is kinda expected with the Gundam ver2's frame, expect more MSVs to come.... maybe GM Cannon to partner the Zaku cannon?
And wow... a HGUC tank to partner the UCHG version hehe... but most likely it'll require AB or painting skills like the UCHG counterpart. The price ain't exactly cheap too, 2200 yen... can get Jagd Doga liao.

And what's the unit that's docked with the GN Archer? Mass produced 00?

UCHG and HGUC big difference ler hehe...

PG Astray.... makes sense for the Astray to be released as it shares the PG Strike's skeleton. With MGs now being a miniature version of PG, MGs are the way to go hehe...

Sour grapes for me since I can't afford any PGs now

Stargazer MG more possible as they might be able to rehash the Strike's frame as the body and legs are a bit similar. After that possibly a 'special edition' like the SF and IJ Put bling bling into the veins....

This is what might happen when you don't have enough expertise and proper equipment to bling up the Sinanju... Maybe the stickers ain't a bad idea after all

Bling bling version for the Sinanju... more ideas for Bandai eh?

GM ver2.0... nothing particularly different from the Gundam except for the head, weapons, and the lack of the core fighter.

I don't own the Unicorn, but from various forums the more common accidents are:
1. Snapping the V-fin.
2. Thin, fragile forearm armours.
3. Loose ankles.


Sinanju review:
http://www.geocities.jp/hobby_no_toriko/mg-sinanju.html

Still a bit apprehensive about the stickers... I'm not convinced that the edges won't peel up due to wear and tear...

180.... super duper great price... in M'sia? If from Japan then I'm not surprised

Sinanju's bazooka... a bit similar to the Unicorn's, but this time it can be equipped beneath the rifle ala the grenade launcher...

The Unicorn's bazooka is also a tad longer than the Unicorn hehe... hence the Sinanju cannot lose out.
I wonder what else does the Sinanju have, since it's supposed to be another full psychoframe suit not unlike the Unicorn and the Banshee.

Yeah chances are the fully-armed rifle will kill the wrist joints very quickly if no support is given.

It's more like a exaggerated version of Barzam's rifle-bazooka more than anything else.

Wah... orang yang jujur... later aunty lenny reward you with another kit for your honesty lol...

bundled with the novel... like the unicorn's gatling...

Better pic of the Sinanju's bazooka. It seems able to be mounted on the shield just like the grenade launcher.

walaoeh... read back the previous pages please... the bazooka comes with the upcoming novel compilation like the unicorn's gatlings.

I think stickers are the way to go... just look at the these two links:

http://ruliweb2.empas.com/ruliboard/read.h...&db=2&num=56356

Possible.... Banshee just needs a recolour and new fins, so why not? Anything that's associated with Unicorn seems to sell well hence I'll be expecting the Banshee soon. Kshatriya's size however could be a deterrence but who knows?

Oh oh... sticker edges problem has already occurred, particularly at joint areas.

I hate you



Walaoeh.... better wait for famitoy to get their stock in... It's worth resisting the temptation for a couple of months first.

tacky and messy action bases for unicorn and sinanju....
leave out the excessive stickers and it'll look just fine.

新安洲 ！！ 我要 ！！

The Civillian Astray DSSD... the one with the motorcycle helmet.

It's either a typo, or maybe it has something to do with Sinanju's background. The Sinanju is supposed to be a suit which shares the same technology, ie the full psychoframe, with the Unicorn. Not exactly a sister suit like the Banshee, but kind of like a early prototype. Hence it might be designed back in 0094 by AE before they started work on the Unicorn.

I could be wrong though with my limited Unicorn knowledge.

eh bro more new MGs for 09 eh? How's your progress with the new kits that you bought at the end of 08? Post the pics at the showoff thread leh...

Seems like I wasn't wrong about AE designing the Sinanju as a prototype for the psychoframe technology by 0094, so yeah...

Maybe anyone who has the Sinanju manual can translate for us what has been written in it regarding Sinanju's tech and any possible background history...

1/144 parasite Seraphim gundam... I still LOL'ed at a mecha whose hands appear magically from empty gunbarrels... why don't they melt when the cannons fire in Seravee mode?

・バンダイ商品
・機動戦士ガンOOより
・プラモデル
・スケール：1/144
・話題騒然！あのセラフィムガンダムがＨＧで登場！！
　モビルスーツ形態からバックパック形態に完全変形！
　HGセラヴィーガンダム（別売り）との着脱を完全再現！
・GNビームサーベルはクリアパーツで再現！
　長さの異なる2種類が付属！

Nothing exciting about the jap description:


The mystery of the giant gundam head is still shrouded in obscurity... the head remains concealed in Seraphim mode, maybe there's still a possibility of gattai

I find this picture very lol... especially the lower left corner... so power-ranger meh...

Go to famitoy... every gundam = yen X 0.03.... Last month when I went there for my sazabi, there's still 2 boxes of Unicorn and lots of Gundam 2.0, 00 haven't arrived yet (should have now) and I don't recall seeing Turn A.

This looks really nice, but too bad it's a HGUC which means that the Zaku is of old tech and low detail.

Maybe Bandai could release an MG version of this diorama set since the Zaku ver2 is ever-ready to be rehashed. It'll be cool to have a detailed Type 61 tank in MG form too...
