Uh-huh. Ok, that hangar scene is pretty drat cool.

Beams, shield doing the 00 sniper gundam thing where everything is funnels. (always forget the name. Zabanya?) The beams look a bit too clean, but I think that's just the ad simplifying it.

Quick flash of the other gunpla. Rewind and pause...
Oh-my-gosh. They've got grunts! They've got grunts!

I'm pretty amused that the main gundam doesn't get a response beyond 'neat' from me. But put a not-gm (2 actually!) on screen and I squeal.

I think they've got some 30MM designers on the series and you can feel it in those grunts. The dome head looks very Portanova.

"Hi Everybody!"
I'm pretty :nallears: on the Aerial Gundam's shield being Bits/Funnels tbh, because I've never seen them used for anything except recycled footage of arbitrary angles of shots and rear end-pull kills because they were *handwaves* over there somewhere. (I mostly saw them used in SEED, so if they've been used better elsewhere, I might not have seen it.)

There's some real G-Reco in the designs too if you look at the head on that red one and the Teal one. There's some Hecate and G-Lucifer in their DNA, I reckon.

00 had some decent use of their Funnel equivalent, mostly because they doubled as explosives in some fights.

Char's Counterattack had Amuro make pretty cool use of his Fin Funnels.

Film's a mixed bag, but the fight scenes are some of the best in Gundam.

Like what?

One problem with going crazy at the jump is that the escalation can get dumb. The 00 Gundam movie is a loving shitshow, and part of that is that there's no grounding to the combat. Sure, you get a movie budget, but all you get from that is a bunch of beams shooting in every direction at other beam spewing piles of nothing.

I'm not saying that Witch is going to have the same faults. Just noting it as a potential problem in the future.

Aerial's variable shield is like the spiritual successor to the X Divider, and that makes it automatically great.

I really like these chinese third party kits. this one I'd have the spine attachment on it, but it's so fiddly and hard to keep in place that it wasn't worth it.

Geeze. This thing might have more stickers than the Guision Rebake Full City, and that was 400 yen cheaper.

Probably has better color separation overall, but it's a bit of a disappointment all the same.

(Edit: It's actually cheaper than the Full City. That explains some things.)

The Nuke Matrix Cyber Forest stuff is so my aesthetic that after I built the first one, I immediately went and ordered/preordered everything possible.

If I had to guess, an SD with better articulation than SDCS, an actual inner frame, and less sticker hell?

Won't know until we see it I guess.

I kinda like the idea of the effect stickers for the clear parts. Being that they attach to the underside means they should be protected from wear and tear.

For fun, they should do a line of kits in this style again. Give us a Barbatos, an Aerial, a Unicorn (Destroy Mode) in the classic 90s Gunpla fashion

If anyone missed out on the first run of orders for the Moderoid Aliens Power Loader, looks like the Order Stop's been lifted on HLJ.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I just remembered to hop on HLJ for Witch From Mercury preorderes, seems for HGs there's only the Lfrith and Beguir-Beu? Not the Gundam Aerial? I saw there's an Aerial coming out in October but had assumed that was the first update version of the suit. Just seems odd there's two suits out before the protagonist's.

Those two are from the prologue episode that just aired, so it does kinda make sense.

The connector piece for one of the beam tomahawks (the ones that go on the shield) on my HG Sinanju broke, so I glued it back on. Earlier today, when I went to take pictures, the piece broke when I moved it to the lower part of the shield. :suicide:

Is there a way to remove glue from plastic so I can put on a fresh layer?
