So the 1/100 Kimaris Gundam is also listed as "temporary name" meaning it's probably safe to guess it will be another case of the Gusion/Rebake

then again the price isn't as high, so maybe not

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong but did recognista get any MGs? I live the designs but all I find are HGs.

Really disappointing. It bugs me that AGE got so much more attention. I understand why. I just don't like the AGE designs in general.

AGE was meant to be a big seller, G-Reco had reluctant support at best and minimal kits since they clearly didn't expect it to do very well, and had to hurry kits out when it turned out to not flop.

IBO had more support from Bandai before it began than G-Reco did in its entire run.

To be fair, AGE had five cancelled MGs. I hardly call that a successful series.

I meant to say 'more attention from Bandai'. Doesn't make me feel better. Wish there was someway to transfer all that effort into atleast a MG G-Self.

While I'm glad that IBO is getting a lot of support (cause the designs are great), reading this is still sad.


On a lighter note, I think I know which kit is going to be my next build.

BFT had a tremendously successful model line and a huge push behind the series from BF's success, and yet it didn't get any MG support for like a year (and it was only for a single side-character's suit).

For dry tip clogging with Tamiya acrylics, I use lacquer thinner, since the paints themselves are lacquer based (with acrylic pigment). I do not recommend ever using IPA or any alcohol with Tamiya as it tends to clot into pigment blobs suspended on binder and solvent.

That's more because it's Build Fighters and the only MG's were ones with existing kits to alter (plus Amazing Red Warrior was probably a sneaky Perfect Gundam MG to make everyone happy) . HG's were the fundamental drive of the show because they weren't flogging 1/144-scale kits, they were selling 1:1 kits.

I really like the AGE-FX, though it's almost (but not quite) the only thing I like from that misbegotten enterprise.

Yeah I think the only thing that really sold was Build Burning. Since, you know, half the show was the Build Burning doing everything.

Gotta admit, this is the sole thing from IBO that is really not doing it for me on any particular level. It looks like something from the G-Unit reject pile.
I agree, it just makes me think of the G-Lucifer if they'd played it on the safe side of MS design. The G-Lucifer is great. :allears:

Cannons that are actually mounted on the shoulder armor — not over the shoulder, mind you, but attached directly to the heavy clumsy fragile poo poo that sits RIGHT ON the shoulder joint... sorry, but that biz is wack.

That's because the whole thing on the shoulder is a funnel. Er, fannel.



The main gimmick with the A-Fannel equipment, besides getting rid of that awful green everywhere, are the titular A Fannels. There are six spread out across the suit, and they have both a beam torch and a DODS cannon on them. They can either act independently, or connect with the main suit to enhance the power of the torch/cannons.

AGE had some of the best grunt suits of any series. The ratio of heroic suit to grunt awesomeness hasn't happened again, and I love that you can still find most of them for reasonable prices.

I get what they were going for here, and I don't dislike it, but it somehow seems very un-Gundam-ish. Something went generally wrong with the look of that show.

Buy the HG AGE-FX and cover it in pla pate until it barely resembles a humanoid form anymore.

If this fails, buy another and repeat the process.
