I’d honestly see a new subject rather than yet another version of Grandpa RX-78 or Grandma MS-06 in any kit line, but especially in PG where we only see a new kit every few years. Do the Nu, hell do a GM or Leo if you want to get weird.

Thing is, compared to modern PGs, we don't really have those PGs (yet). The current ones are crazy outdated, build like crap, and have a detail/feature level lower than their MG counterparts.

I have been reliably informed that the PG suit which will come out after the PG Unleashed RX-78 will be the titular suit of the next, as yet unannounced, Gundam TV series.

I mean the inner frame is really really cool and I'm having a lot of fun building the PG. The surface detail is definitely kind of lacking and there are some seams that I wish weren't there but like this is why I have chisels and plastic cement

This is absolutely sexy as gently caress and more mobile suits need massive claws and other custom HTH weapons. Heck, that sort of thing would fit right in on an IBO kit.

There's quite a few Build series upgrade/option kits for this sort of thing and Kotobukiya's MSG line is good though the scale might not always work out. I wish Bandai had a more extensive line of option parts because there's apparently a bunch of them that were made and distributed to various Gunpla stores in Japan as part of a promotion so they're double extra hard to get because it's not something you can just order off P-Bandai. Unless you mean you wanted more of those things in official designs.

I've seen those bonus kits on ebay and in hobby stores semi-regularly enough to pick up a few. There's a really neat little Torohachi in one of them in addition to an axe and a drill.

Bluefin usually throws a bunch in with their shipments to hobby stores, befriend the manager at your local hookup.

Azami's model is up for sale through the usual channels, releasing ahead of Anastasia's. I'm less confident in the kits from the original game getting a full lineup, but the latest game is almost certainly getting the entire main cast.

Ooo, thanks, I had a look through your post history and found it. Also cool that you reviewed the RG Titans MkII, I was eyeballing that one too. I'm probably gonna be the guy who ends up with only RGs lol

I think I like the Build Strike better, but that's probably because I liked Build Fighters, and I don't even know what show Force Impulse comes from. But every time I move it, an elbow piece falls off. I'm not really a "re-pose my Gundams every week" guy though so that really only mattered when I moved apartments. Force Impulse is pretty fantastic, though.

But holy cow does the P-Bandai version look awesome. I’m kind of regretting not getting the RG Sword Impulse, but I already got the Stormbringer FA and Hazentheyly whatever the gently caress and didn’t want to push it. That’s an RG that really should have been a general release. https://p-bandai.com/sg/item/N2390174001001

Thanks all. Guess I'll just flip a coin to pick one next month then get the other the month after. I limit myself to one shopping run a month otherwise I would have a backlog to the moon.

So, turns out the RG Nu Gundam still looks pretty good if you split the fin funnel stack in two to make a pseudo double fin funnel set.  Probably gonna stick to the side configuration for now. Will play around with it.

Let's say I wanted some LEDs for a Figure-rise Haro but didn't want to pay Bandai prices because seriously, £25 for a double LED unit is comically bad. What are my options for alternatives, short of building one from scratch?

I like it! Especially the hockey stick looking thing on the head! Was that in the show? I'm weird in that I only really build the kits and haven't watched much of any Gundam. My first attempt at painting was a Leo, the Build Divers version though.  Went for a Samus inspired colour scheme. Paint is a little splotchy in places as I was learning as I was going (and there was months between colours due to massive procrastination on my part), also I hosed up the paint on the top of the thighs trying to do some ill-advised detail work with a Gundam Marker. NOT and entry for the group build, by the way. Did it last year some time.
