i went in expecting to find it looking awful but you know actually watching the trailer i was going "this isn't all that bad, i kinda dig this"

and then that human wearing the space helmet appeared and i got hit really bad by uncanny valley, somehow, so i guess i'll see how it comes out

It might be an unfair comparison considering it's been seven years since it released but I'd consider the space helmet to be better than Erasmus trying facial animations again:

This was the fanfilm that really got him noticed for stuff. I'm happy he's getting a chance to do an official Gundam project, but I'm still skeptical.

Otaking was more impressive than this poo poo. I'm sure glad we finally can add the PS3 shovelware aesthetic to the Gundam canon. Complete loving embarrassment, for the franchise and for the people involved.

The humans looked like hammered poo poo in the first Igloo too so it's just respecting the original.

It looks like they ran out of metal prlartway through the design phase and had to cut corners.

It looks like they said, "Hey we gotta make the Federation the bad guys how do we make the Gundam evil?" and then handed the tablet to an 8-year-old. Toss that poo poo in the bin.

First animated, maybe, but the novels beat it to the punch by 7 years. The whole set got officially translated and released on store shelves.

Maybe it's a really tiny triple beam cannon to match the weirdly tiny gatling gun barrel on the other shoulder.

Coming back to youtube. It's one of the shows Gundam Info regularly rotates through. Makes it a pain to see what's gotten the most views and leads to link rot since the new versions aren't listed the same as the earlier versions, but it's pretty nice while it lasts.

I think last I checked there are over 100 Jedi survivors of the purge according to the star wars wiki, so I'd say that for as many OYW prototypes ad there are they haven't quite made it that far. It's close though.
