I desperately, desperately want a graded Capule/Kapool. It was in Unicorn so it'll come eventually, right? :smith:

If you know where to get MG Turn-A suits that aren't the Turn-A, I'd really love to know.

Still waiting patiently for a half-decent Kapool/Capule kit. It was in Unicorn, that's good enough, right?!

Woop there it is



If you have any questions or want me to open one lemme know.
I was on the fence about buying some of them, but seeing them in person really validates the purchase.

I'm a big fan of the MG Red Astray, let me know how the Blue Astray is.

It's a fair bit larger and more durable. It'll probably have more accessories, too.

Hey, Bandai. There's really cool suits from Turn-A Gundam besides the titular suit, you know. (I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'll do horrible things for a MG Kapool/Capule.)

What's the general consensus on the MG S Gundam? I started reading Gundam Sentinel and I think I'm falling in love with it. I know the Ex-S Gundam is some ridiculous thing that needs its own special stand, but how's the normal S hold up?

This isn't necessarily directed at you, it's just something I see a lot:

Some fun tips to make your models look more dynamic!

1) Make sure the feet aren't parallel. When a person stands up, their feet naturally splay out in opposing directions. When the feet are parallel, it appears more stiff and wooden. Only pose them with parallel feet if they're standing in formation or are docked. The best way to do this is to manipulate the joints where the hips meet the pelvis.

2) Have them look/aim off to the side. Humanoid robots have necks and waists, use them! It allows them to have a smaller profile, and cover more of their body with a shield, if they have one. Just like with the feet, they only need to be facing straight forward when they're not really being used. It also helps to bend the elbows in a natural way.

3) Idle hands are the devils playthings look boring. If a model has a big gun/sword that looks like it would need both hands to hold, use both hands! Even if you can't open the fingers, just putting the hand near where it should be will help a lot. If it's a small gun, put a small sword in its off hand, or if it has a shield on that arm, make it so it's covering itself with it.

4) Try and imagine how the weight is distributed. Yeah, robots are big and strong and metal, but imagine if it were you. Would you have to brace yourself if you were holding a big gun in front of you? Where would you put your feet? Would you put more weight on one of your legs than the other?

I just finished the MG S Gundam, and I think that was the closest I've ever come to clearing out a polycap runner. I was actually thinking "Is this really happening? Is this how the world ends?"


This is actually what I consider important in my life.

It was always that small. You're just used to seeing it SD because, well, that's all anyone's seen it as.

Turn A is the best looking Gundam by a fair margin, and the MG Turn A is amazing.
