Master and Shining already have release dates, and Rising and Fuuinsaiki were shown last expo. Supposedly this is how they're celebrating G Gundam's 10th anniversary, so hopefully they won't all just vanish into the pit of forgotten prototypes like the GP-01 fb or the Airmaster Burst. And hey, maybe they'll release the full Shuffle Alliance.

My Turn A is weird in that it came with some game and when you flip it upside down, it beeps and flashes colors. Dunno what series it's from, I just randomly picked it up off a guy. Same with the Zaku, I just stumbled upon it in a comic shop like 13 years ago. Also the MG Gouf 2.0 is great.

everythingWasBees posted:I have a "New Material Model Turn A Gundam" It's basically a "Chogokin" (die-cast) toy of the Turn A Gundam. I hear it was okay for its time, but it's a pretty old figure. I'd be careful with it since I think I remember reading something about them being relatively fragile.

I'd prefer HG kits of the Shuffle Alliance, but since that doesn't seem like it's happening, RD's would be the next best thing. The old NG kits are atrocious. I'm staring at a primed Spiegel that I just cannot summon the energy to paint. And then there's the other five or so G kits in my Gundam closet yet to assemble.... Goddammit Bandai, loving give G Gundam the love it deserves.

It frustrates me that related merchandise is still not anywhere near popular to this day. ...You have no idea how much I want and MG Gundam Rose....

Well, there have been a few actual G Gundam suits in the show (besides just background suits and such): Bring on the Nobel rerelease with a ponytail.

For what it's worth, G Gundam got a more or less complete showing in the Mobile Suit in Action! toy line about 12 years ago and they're still pretty cheap and easy to find on eBay. Not as high quality as RD obviously, but posability and accessories were consistently pretty good and filling in the panel lines improves the looks immensely.

Well, I am a dumb mother fucker. Instead of clear green... I now have clear black.  Yes, I know I just sprayed the runner. I'm lazy and I figured I could paint over any nubs that are exposed. Soooo... now I'm gonna have to strip all of this off and do silver + clear green like I should have in the first place. Uh... any suggestions for taking off testor's enamel on an entire loving runner? If it's any consolation, I only got the kid for half price

Gammatron 64 posted:Well, I am a dumb mother fucker. Uhhh, jeez. Other than getting new runners, I'd try this stuff. Fill some sealable plastic tubs with enough to fully immerse the parts and let them sit for about 2-3 days. Once that's done, get some rubber gloves, a toothbrush, and run them under some warm water, scrubbing as you go. Hopefully it will get through it all. I must also emphasize that you need to seal the tubs, since it really won't work that well without it. TNG fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Nov 9, 2014 |

I wonder if I could just spray silver on top then clear green and hopefully it won't be too tight. I did like 2 coats. I plan on leaving it in Destroy Mode forever and never using the unicorn mode.

Model paint is really thin. You should just be able to prime over it with gloss black and continue on your way.

See I found a real good solution to wanting the green frame but not wanting the tippy nightmare of FA Unicorn: Don't put the backpack and poo poo on him. Boom, no paint required, you're welcome, I accept cash and personal checks made out to Dickeye Tennyson.

Get a System Base, stack the weapons on the racks, done. EDIT: So I was looking up reviews to see how close to 1/144 the Wing RDs are, and first off they're in the same situation as G where it's close enough.   Second off, apparently while nobody was looking Bandai retconned the WZ to be the same height as the Wing.
