Same here, just started building the original RG and I'd be a little cross if this wasn't a 70% markup on the old one's RRP for what seems to be the new weapons plus a base and decals. Bit steep. You could genuinely buy a pair of red crab crackers with that extra dosh. ..Admittedly it's a lot of plastic, the weapons being bigger than most HGs, but still. Maybe the weapons from the SD version at the end of the video will be compatible with 1/144-scale models. Ibblebibble posted:https://twitter.com/ZakuAurelius/status/1638341737935433729?s=20 Pleasantly surprised with how little this seems to re-use from the RG Wing TV. That being said, though, releasing in September means this is probably one of maximum two RGs we could see this year, I guess? Can't help but feel a little sore we get another one from Wing and not something else the people have been clamoring for, eg RG Tequila Gundam.

I don't think they actually announced that, they just said that a feature of the Wing's inner frame was that it could be reused for the other Gundams from that series. Kind of like when they first announced RG and said that they could do RG GMs and Goufs.

I thought the HGAC zero was more recent but drat its been almost ten years

How flexible is the belt on the 30mm kit? I'm hesitant of soft plastic like that because it can break easily.

Arc Hammer posted:How flexible is the belt on the 30mm kit? I'm hesitant of soft plastic like that because it can break easily. Squinting at it, it looks exactly like the belt from Gundam Unit 5. Which is 'flexible enough, but you don't wanna bend it more than a few times.' You can see the stress mark forming on mine. It's out because I'm trying (and failing) to make a good mold of it to recast it in flexible silicone rubber instead.

These things are not at all for everyone and got super popular because of a worldwide quarantine. They even have an idol group for Gunpla now?

I really hope that the other dumb/unique/radical G Gundam stuff gets a real release or that I'm lucky enough to catch the PBandai drop Do they announce when pre-orders open somewhere? Usually seems like I see em day-of and they're already live

If I wanna be a pedant about it, I'd say "40s are beer. What you want is a 1:5 scale. A fifth."
