They're all pretty much the same, the difference between them is mainly head, shoulders and weapons.

There's also some differences in the armor designs, with Kaworu's Eva being taller due to a larger torso, but yeah. They're all basically similar kits, and they're all the same quality.

Awesome thanks. Gonna chase that goth eva. I've been oogling potential Z'goks and got spoiled for choice. I've got some gift certs for this store so its basically "free". But I didnt expect so many Z'Goks! This thing is popular it seems. I dont mind the red pinkish version but the blue one looks kinda cool but idk about the build quality. E: the more I look at them the more I like them. Its like an unofficial megaman boss or something. Mindblast fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Feb 15, 2023 |

If at all possible get the RG, it's the newest of the Z'Goks. The MG may be servicable, I'm not sure as I've never built it, but the HGs are very much outdated. The original one is like HGUC 006 or something ridiculous.

kirbysuperstar posted:Hell yeah I'm looking forward to the differences  So, uh, about the "lucky" part of the "Lucky Dip"...  To be clear, I'm perfectly happy with these, but still, . I'm gonna be real kind and assume there might be a couple variation packs and we just rolled the same. Even if not, for the price paid it's still a solid pack.Imma customize the gently caress outta that Kenbu with that upcoming weapon pack that has Jogan's gatling gun and Reiki's missile pods, and the 3mm-accessory-tab limbs.

Mindblast posted:E: the more I look at them the more I like them. Its like an unofficial megaman boss or something.  The red and blue HG kit are exactly the same except for the color so maybe think about if you really want both of them. I was good with just the Char Custom (red) and would only buy the other one if I ever want to recreate the green paint scheme. The HG is an old kit so it's a little plain on the details and the joint system is more simple than what you see in modern kits. It's not bad but the legs are a little loose in the thigh connector imo and the joint connector system in the body does carry an increased risk for breaking if you handle the model too roughly. Still enjoyed the build though and I like my boi very much! Also I have decided my first collector goal is to get all (or at least most) of the water bois. This week I got the HG Gogg, Acguy, Z'gok-E and the Hygogg. Which means that I have now joined the ranks of backlog havers

It's inevitable, embrace it but don't let it control you. Or you know let it control you, who knows. Take the runners out of the box and stare at them lovingly.

Yeah I noticed it might just be inevitable haha. I noticed some of these kits have inner frames with actual actuated pistons in them. They're not even visible when its all fully assembled! And I like it.

I got a $200 Amazon GC for working 3 hours Super Bowl Sunday so I took the plunge and bought the airbrush kit recommended at $170 and the RG Z’Gok. $6 bucks and change total. Feels gooood. Now to start buying paint I guess.

The HG Z’gock E has a sort of stacking assembly for the arms and legs that doesn’t work all that well.

Gogg, Acguy, and Hygogg are must-buys for me, as well as the Zock, and the RG Z'Gok. But Christ, WfM keeps putting out hit after hit and I only have so much space in my apartment. Well, I'm sure people have bought houses for dumber reasons, right?

I'm way too biased to be objective about the Acguy. I love all Acguys.

Gok Talk is reminding me if the extremely sad moment I had recently at a local Japanese import store with a healthy Plamo selection. I got a little Acguy figurine and the person behind the counter asked if I'd seen the MG Acguy they had in stock. I basically bolted back to the Gundam models, but it turned out they had seen an MG Gogg and gotten them mixed up... No disrespect to any Gogg-likers, but I really thought I'd struck gold with an in-person Acguy

Not to burst your bubble, but the one in the video is the DX Chogokin which is a high-end collector's toy and not plamo; I imagine the model will probably be less full-featured and sturdy. e: And smaller, given that the HG kit will be 1/100 scale and the DX was 1/60 scale. 3 fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Feb 16, 2023 |

Nothing new to report with the Eva 01 kit but I watched the Evangelion show on Netflix and It's good. Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann was way way way better. Are there any kits of that?! Also I watched all of the Evangelion movies 1.11-4.44 and I loved it. Absolutely outstanding.

Are there any kits of that?! There are some Gurren Lagann kits by Sentinel and Kotobukiya. The Sentinel kits are good but they don't go together quite as easily as Bandai's do. Same for Koto's offerings. They've all been out of print for a while so they may be kind of expensive.

Oh! I recently got the gold petit bear guy from p-Bandai, too! Can't get enough acguy and I've been begging for a redesign for years now.

Wake up... Dann! This thing has been an utter joy to build. Great colour separation, the only stickers have been a few black dots on the hand and ankle-guards, and the only thing that needs painting is the sword edges (which is fairly typical of something HG-quality, and understandable). It'll do all the sword forms too (separated, tonfa, etc), and will even partsform into the big flying sword mode as well.   The wrists on this are a hinge joint that pegs into the forearm and give it some great flexibility with the sword. They pose solidly, but can still be pulled out and swapped fairly easily.  The engineering in general is quite pleasant with this too for a non-Bandai kit, and there's a great range of posing to be had. No I will not apologize for this photo, nor will I remove it.  I was fairly right on the money eyeballing the size mid-build too; Dann works out to be about RG Eva height. If you're a fan of Gun X Sword, the MODEROID Dann of Thursday is well worth hunting down.

The translucent parts look pretty good too, was wondering how they'd come off outside production photos. Moderoid's been doing great stuff lately, been putting their White Lily together and that's a really well-thought out kit too.
