Not sure what I was expecting from a third Unicorn form, but Destroy Unchained probably wasn't it.

I will probably never own a PG because my favorite designs will never be popular enough to make it to 1/60.

The funny thing is that 00 Raiser is my second favorite design, and I can't even convince myself to buy Daban's version of it cause the 0 Raiser is so heavy even aerial poses would be difficult to pull off.

There's 1/48 Yamato releases of the VF-1, if that is what you are looking for, friend muffinlord. however the 1/60s look better. Of course, they're not kits, unless you were crazy enough to buy some of the resin castings Yamato sold while they went out of business and completely legitimately turned into Arcadia

Destroy Unchained is cool, I guess, but I was kinda hoping for Gerwalk.

Is there anything out there like a perfect grade VF-1? In both size and detail.

I'm currently working on a plan to convince my wife to let me buy a Glorious Series Gouf.

Are there any kits with abdominal articulation to rival the 00 Qan[t]? It's the only one I know of that has a point of articulation in the middle of the torso.

Summon your inner wargaming nerd.

Yesterday I knocked out a twofer; Holistic health "unplug for 24 hours" and put in some good time on my Thunderbolt Zaku II. I learned a valuable lesson; thou shalt not prime before snapbuilding. Putting the thruster pack together after getting it all primed up was awful. On the other hand, I'm on to painting acrylics, panel lining, and dullcoat, in that order.

There's going to be some dumb sprue marks that I wasn't able to or didn't notice to file off. :smith:

That's a bit of a shame. Macross is about the only other series with enough kits to be worth exploring that I also have familiarity with. So are the 1/72 scale ones about MG-sized?

Roughly, but it's going to require more paint and decals than your average MG.

Well, poo poo. Amazon has the HG Unicorn Destroy Mode sitting at under :20bux: with free two-day shipping, so I guess there's no better time to test out clear blue on pink like the present. It'll give me a weekend project.

Quick question about Tamiya rattlecans though - what white is a good choice for your standard gundam pure white look? I tried their 'Pure White' for the parts I custom painted on my Plan B, but it was incredibly glossy, and went on noticeably thicker than any other paint I've used. Is there a better matte choice, but still very clean?

Some of those really surprised me. Had to think RG 00/00 Raiser was on the shortlist, but an MG Dark Matter?

The new HGBF Wing Zero variant looks nice, may put off getting one of the Fenice kits and look at that. I thought perhaps it could mean a return of Felini, but looking at the red color and orange clear detail, I think it's going to be Sekai's.

HG Wing Zero Fire is from a sidestory.



And MG Dark Matter was kind of obvious as soon as they announced MG Exia RII. I'd say Amazing Exia would be a web-exclusive, but the existence of HGBF Amazing Exia makes me unsure.

Also, and I know this is silly but it's true, it's Hi-Nu Vrabe.

"Hi Everybody!"
Dammit Bandai, you could've at least mentioned the RG Endless Waltz Gundams :sigh:. Though I'm a little surprised they didn't release the RG 00 Gundam before the Wing Custom, because then it's following the Exia and opens the Wing Custom up for the other Endless Waltz Gundams to follow that, like the earlier RG parings like the Strike/Freedom and the GP01/GP01FB. I'm gonna put it down to to the designers drinking themselves to death while trying to figure out how to support the goddamn 0-Raiser.

edit: Whoops, forgot about the second RG Zaku :v:.

Also I'm surprised the 00 and Raiser are going to be a single RG kit. Considering the amount of equipment the 0-Raiser adds, I really thought they'd separate that out to its own kit like the Skygrasper and Striker Packs.

Honestly I'm most excited about the RE/100 Dijeh. Despite being Amuro's actual personal suit in Zeta Gundam, the poor beer-gut Gelgoog/Rick Dias hybrid hasn't had any love.

It really deserved a Master Grade, though. They could have even reused Rick Dias and Hyaku Shiki parts.

My guess would be that most people bought the robot and skipped the plane, so Bandai has "helpfully" removed that option.

Also the main incentive for the Skygrasper was getting the other two Striker Packs. The only thing I can think of them including in a 0 Raiser separate pack is the GN Blade III. Oh god I just realized they're going to do a Seven Sword web shop exclusive.
