Hy-gogg and GM Sniper II and the little dude that comes with the HG GM Sniper II that I'm totally blanking on the name of.

EDIT: A remake of the Alex would be pretty sweet, too.

Fair enough, I thought they did have MGs.

I'd love a new MG Kampfer too.

Everything that isn't either the Alex or Kampfer.

GM Sniper II, Hygogg, Zaku FZ, Gelgoog Jaeger, GM Cold District Type, Mass Produced Guncannon and so on.

Not only are they really cool designs, I'd like a Sniper II, MP Guncannon and GM Cannon so I can make the White Dingo team.

I need that Exia. I need all the Exias. I even need another plain MG Exia, because my Ignition Mode is becoming an RI.

Otherwise I really need to give my wallet a rest for the near future. It's just so hard. :shepspends:

Can someone explain whats with the diff hi-nu versions? it looks like only 1 has the HG tag, are the other 2 just action figures? I bought HG hi-nu on a whim after just checking the box art and it's prob one of my favorite kits.

There are now 3 HG Hi Nu kits (Original, GPB Custom, and now Brave), then there's the Robot Damashii Hi Nu figures, one of which has more die cast metal or something.

My first Gundam Marker arrived, a dark grey one. And oh my god, the difference is like night and day. And I found a nifty little corner-cutting use that saves me a lot of tedium. Once I clip a gray or black part free from the runner, instead of sanding, I can just cut off the nub with an x-acto, and then cover any stress lines with the marker. Now I just need to get colored ones, so I can do this with red and blue parts, too.

Those are the same kit but with magazine-exclusive weapons. One from Dengeki Hobby, another from Gundam ACE.

Can we get some before/after pictures? I do mostly straight builds and while I'm all about painting some internal parts for detail, I'd love a shortcut to make stress marks less prevalent.

How flush are the nubs after you cut them free?

It's literally the same as the HGUC Hi-Nu, except with black and yellow. Just keep in mind that only two of the fin funnels can be deployed.

Did Bandai finally decide that they released enough MG Unicorns, or?

Since you're covering any damage, you can cut completely flush, or even take a little bit off, without worrying about the damage.

Here's a before (where I'd normally start sanding)


And after shaving it down, then covering it up with the marker.


At this angle and light, you can even see where I shaved a tiny bit too much off, but the stress graying is gone completely.

If you're cutting right at the part, though, wouldn't that possibly induce gouging like that cut you have?

You can avoid doing that if you're careful, but it'll still require a lot of experience to pull it off consistently.

Yeah. That's why you want to cut parallel to the surface. Shave off, rather than cutting off. I just got overeager and came at it at a bad angle.

I'd love to see the results as you go on darker colors. After straight building MG Rex and having some nubs that didn't fully shave away cleanly this might not be a bad final touch-up option, or to use Gundam markers as I go through others.

Yeah, it's tricky because you have to angle your knife to get it to trim the plastic off, but if you incline it just sliiiiightly too much, it'll dive into the plastic and gouge a hole out, like me going for my wallet to buy all these loving kits

You covered the nub up pretty good but the gouge is pretty visible. I would use a knife to de-nub if it didn't really make it noticeable.

Just finished watching Gundam Build Fighters, time to order all those master grades. They better make more because the designs in the show were so drat good.

They're inevitable, especially with Exia Dark Matter being announced(which all but confirms Amazing Exia). Now that Unicorn is dying out, make way for BF and G Reco MGs.

You mean Amazing Exia Repair, they better not make plain Amazing Exia because it was never even used. But if they did make it they will have broken the record of making a gunpla from a gundam in a show with the least screen time. The current holder is trans-am reborn's gundam since it was only in the last episode for 10? seconds?

If anything, we're getting Origin kits now.

I might actually get RG 00R because as far as I can tell, it fixes the biggest problem I have with the 00 (besides the backpack).



The gray accents on the face. On the MG they're so huge that the face looks super small from afar.



the MB fixes this,



and it looks like the RG will too. If they keep to the lineart, at least. Here's hoping they don't repurpose the Exia's frame, it would be pathetic if HG 00 was more articulated than its RG.

Actually, 00 is the first RG to go up against a top tier HG, huh?
