That being said, this trailer introduced me to a rapier fencing gundam complete with a somewhat proper stance for rapier fencing. What is that model?!

The Gyan, available in both 1/144 High Grade and 1/100 Master Grade scales.

Your first Gundam model should not be an MG. Get the HG, then decide if you think it's fun, and then move on to MG's later.

Why? It's not like MG kits are hard builds, especially something as old as the Gyan.

I'd imagine if somebody blew up a MG Sazabi or The O the other person would probably be so livid they'd jump over the table and punch them in the face.

Imagine if there were PG competitions. Strike Freedom would fall apart within 30 seconds. :v:

Haha, it did worse than X? That's hilarious, and I say that as someone who finds X kinda charming. Do we have any info on why they refused to shitcan it like they did to X, then?

Probably so they could sell more model kits(HGs of course, as we have at least three MG kits that have basically been canned). Supposedly another reason is that Unicorn was making Bandai so much money that they basically said "gently caress it" and let AGE run its course.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new Astray Red Frame can be assembled into a CE accurate one rather than the Build Fighter version

They already did this with the HG Astray Red Frame w/ Flight Unit. It's got improved articulation and detail over the original 1/144 kit.

If villains from Gundam shows are winding up in Build Fighters, Gym Ghingham should show up. It would basically be paradise for him.

Yes, and it's a 90's 1/144 at that.

As long as someone, at some point, is using a custom God Gundam, I'll be happy. If the customization used is to give it TWO burning fingers instead of one, I'll be ecstatic.

Not much variety suit wise there. Besides it'll just wind up being PG Strike Freedom vs Perfect Grade 00 Raiser in the finale anyway.

The MG Wing kits all used the same internal frame, so you could probably do it with those. Though unless you're willing to sacrifice all five, the best you could do is make a megazord out of them.

I'm not spending another 250 dollars on MGs I already own, and a Megazord/Brave Robot configuration would never work cause the Wing suits are all the same size, and you need a "main" mech that'll make up the bulk of the robot.

I haven't watched a Gundam show since Gundam Wing and decided to give this show a shot.

And now I'm waiting on 2 Strike Full Package models (one to build, one to just have CIB) and interested in getting more. Maybe this question is better suited for the more general gundam/gunpla thread but since I'm really only interested in the ones appearing in this show, what's the best resource for finding out what ones are being released and when besides just haunting online retailers?

I wonder how using a Gaw carrier and a PG Zaku II are even remotely legal. I thought it was restricted to 1/144 scale?

As somebody who owns Perfect Grade kits, that Zaku is WAY bigger than a PG. Judging by how big its hand is next to Build Strike, you're looking at something closer to 1/10 scale.

Where does the image of the second one come from? Looks like a Zaku-like (Geara Doga?) head on God Gundam's body and legs and swords from elsewhere. Looks like a game but I have no idea if there is one with that level of customisation.

It's from Gundam Breaker. Think Dynasty Warriors with Gunpla customization.

Edit for nerdiness:

Geara Doga head
God Gundam arms and torso
Astray Red Frame Kai legs
Sazabi's beam shotgun
Sword Strike backpack
