First IBO P-Bandai kit's been previewed - it's Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze. It's literally just a recoloured SG with the lance-gun from the MS Option Set 1, but it sure is pretty.

They're also releasing the Ares Graze through P-Bandai. Just the basic Graze in blue. Which, you know, is much nicer than when a whole mold is P-Bandai exclusive.

Mind you, there is something kinda neat about just how much kit support IBO is getting, especially after G-Reco. I wonder if the Hyakuri will get a recolour as well? There's two separate colour schemes in the preview images. One (which'll presumably be piloted by McGillis) is blue with blue eyes, while the other (presumably the standard production model) is grey with red eyes.

It's a no-brainer when about 60-70% of the kit is an identical skeletal frame.

I really like the green and white of the Graze Custom, myself. Even though the kits are nearly identical, the reason why isn't horrible to me. I hope that inner frames for HG's continue to be a standard. Plus with IBO it feels like they're really encouraging kitbashing, and standardizing a lot of stuff could help with that. What's the best site to look at kitbashes and get ideas, just Gundam Kits Collection? I saw the Hi-Mock/Ball and the Hi-Mock/Nightingale earlier in the topic, plus that Over Graze, and I love them.

...The latest Tamashii Nations? The HG Revive room was a no photo area IIRC so you're not going to see much, but it's been confirmed that Bandai plans to go all in on OYW stuff. They also seem to be focusing on the stuff that showed up in Build Fighters, presumably so when the OVAs hit they can reprint all the Build Boosters and sell them separately. Gundam Guy has a closer shot of the exact same photo if you really need to see it somewhere else I suppose.

Further progress on the GM Space Command. Priming the gun and the torso. I'm going to re-paint the yellow bits I painted for the torso after getting the purple on, because I think they'll look better fully painted, instead of just having the insides yellow. Wish I had realized that before putting them in, but it shouldn't be too bad: (If you're going to paint over a part you've already painted, should you prime it again out of an abundance of caution? Or is it good to go?) Seam welding ain't too bad at all. The plastic cement is a little weird to use. It's like reverse superglue...would have treated it just like superglue had I not read a post from BlitzBlast earlier in the topic. Used a bit of putty, too, with a lovely broken box cutter as a pseudo-putty knife. One of the seams didn't take too well and I had to put on some more putty before putting on the last layer of primer, too. The gun was a lot easier to seam weld, since there's only a portion that I'll be painting of that. There were some little divets on the torso that I filled with putty, too. One side went a lot deeper than the other. So I just filled it in. Hopefully it still looks okay. Not sure if I'm going to bother painting the anklets. I'd have to seam-weld them as I build them onto the leg, and I have no idea how I'm going to paint between the anklet and the leg. But it feels way less intimidating now. e: I'm looking for a picture of a joke build...it's the treads of a Guntank, but instead of the body, someone put on a Gunpla's legs. I've been searching for this image for cumulative hours and can't for the life of me find it. Please... Electric Lady fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Nov 5, 2015 |

 Every OYW design has gotten some kind of modern retake. Also HG Super Fumina came out and  it's huge. That's the MG SBS it's standing next to!

Well, that's certainly less dorky, although I'm not sure if it's any better. (It's better, it just needs less ornamental bits.)

Quit hatin on Gyan. Calling its design goofy in light of stuff from later series (and even Gyagya, which is way goofier) is crazy, and it makes sense as a suit for a ponce like M'Quve.

No, I'm calling it dorky. It looks like the other Zeon suits beat it up and take its lunch money. The R-Jarja is a thing of beauty and I will fight anyone who disagrees. Darth Walrus posted:It does a bit. It basically gives it the Sinanju's head with a more cross-shaped monoeye track, which honestly looks pretty OK and much less weird than the standard version. The problem is it's this weird, short-but-tall design. The new mono-eye design on the Krieger is good, but the head's basic shape is still hosed.

Too late to auto-cancel via Ebay, I fired off a request to the seller. It would suck if it's not cancelable at this point but I made the order at around 10 PM China time, most likely, so hopefully things haven't progressed too far. I either get a Moebius Zero for $66 or for $46 - either way, FINALLY A MOEBIUS ZERO THAT ISN'T TINY

I was just catching up with Gundam stuff and this is a tad dated, but holy poo poo I want a RE/100 Efreet Custom... or any Efreet that isn't the Scheid. There's enough pink mono-eyed grunts and the dagger-porcupine thing doesn't do it for me. Pink's fine and all but that EXAM/Custom paint job is hot.

Just give it a big rear end floppy hat with a feather in it to distract from how bad the head is. Plus, it will make the Gyan a musketeer instead of a Knight. We've already got a knight gundam.
