Hmmm, just realized how much the zaku and centurior have in common design elements.

You know, I never really put it together that if you removed the red coloring and the huge head fins, the Epyon does have the classic gundam head.

The chin is def larger than the OG, but yeah it's a very familiar shape to the basic design of the head. I feel like Wing didn't really stray too far from the classic shape, but drat did they love their huge head fins.

it's the same thing except for the head, so the original WaDom should come pretty soon afterwards. To P-Bandai.

The head and, more notably, the height.

The WaDom was 40 meters tall, the same size as the Psycho Gundam. The pod, meanwhile, is more standard Mobile Suit height.

Even beyond that, my optimism is somewhat tempered by the fact we still don't have a proper HG Kapool despite the Momokapool coming out two years ago.

You'd be surprised. They actually made a Perfect Grade as a promotional release. The thing was, the way things worked out the model came out before the show, so they had to avoid mentioning too much in the manual, and a printing error made the name come out wrong. It's not cutting edge any more, but it's still a pretty interesting kit.

The Zaku and the Borjarnon are not the same. This is what a proper Borjarnon kit would look like

Has anything more come out about the new PG RX-78-2? I want to drop a silly amount of money on it because it feels like a fitting choice of a first PG. It seems like maybe info on the 29th?

I'm still waiting for them to announce a MG Dom 2.0 but I fear that'll only happen the second I break down & purchase the original which is so old at this point that it can legally drink.

They recently put out some P-Bandai MG Dom variants that included updated joints and such but isn't a new revamp. That makes me think it'll be awhile until we get a proper 2.0.

Yeah sure would love one of those. Having just built a 20 year old kit, I probably wouldn't do that again.

I don't read Japanese, but the website does strongly imply that each day will be focused on a particular line, with only the last day being for Gunpla. So we won't get many Gundam reveals, but hopefully the Evangelions and Kamen Riders will be impressive too.

The Kampfer is interesting since it's a suit where even the ways it sucks make it cooler.

Fragile armor makes the Leo a punchline, but when you see a suit kicking rear end before getting one shot because nobody can land that one hit, that makes it look like an ace machine. And then it goes on to have one of the best fights ever in Build Fighters to top it off.

Easy to see why it made the top twenty most popular Mobile Suits in the poll a bit back.

So I'm finishing up my MG Sinanju Stein. Goddamn this is a nice model. What really stands out as I get the weapons together is that the non-poseable hands meant for gripping weapons fit better than the ones on HG models do. All in all this kit was worth the 3xHG price and 3xHG time to assemble. I only get one cool new thing to display, but it's bigger and does more.

If you've been on the fence about stepping up to MG kits, the fun appears to increase directly proportional to the cost. How does this MG kit rank against the others ?
