Big s Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 There was one, but that was a slightly different model. This one has the zeta style arms. I know it's not much of an excuse, but there it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 irc, the one in Unicorn was not destroyed. It kept on wreaking havoc against the old Zeon suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Apparently there was a second Byarlant custom at torrington according to a Unicorn MSV manga. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RX-160S-2_Byarlant_Custom_02 The real answer of course is there are as many Byaralants out there as Bandai deems fit to sell models. Now that we have the proper arm, head and leg parts I'm sure a Jerid P-Bandai release isn't far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvzxa3 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Im not happy about this Gundam Axis series, and the reviews of the Tristan are so far meh as it is a rehash of the HGUC Alex from 2001 August releases are going to set me back...looking at those RG kits for the MK.II and Zeta, and I'm not sure if I want to spring for another Pale Rider Edited June 22, 2017 by bvzxa3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-school, maybe, but swap out the hands for some better-looking sets and that's all you really need. Maybe swap out the joints for something newer if you must. (I'm currently mulling buying one plus a GM Custom to do exactly those two things.) That being said, it IS confusing as hell why they went the route they did. Using Alex runners to save money is all well and good, but the runner they chose has very few parts that would make sense to use, and the parts they did reuse weren't those parts. Nearly all of the kit is newly-tooled, yet exhibits such old engineering. And whereas those older kits' flaws were a result of technology constraints, this kit has been intentionally hobbled, and not for any meaningful reason. They were just lazy.

Kelsain Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Huh, that's a bummer. I do like the Tristan design, but it's weird that it uses the old style elbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric indigo Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think the Tristan kit looks quite decent when properly painted. http://zgmfxg.web.fc2.com/GUNDAM/Twilight_AXIS/HGUC/TRISTAN/2/HGUC_GUNDAM_AN01_TRISTAN2_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 When I first saw the Hazel, I thought it was a Mk. II spinoff, so it makes sense it'd use the Mk. II frame.

That's Amuro's emblem in general, I think, not just the Nu. It looks like probably a P-Bandai Amuro-piloted Mk. II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For me, the emblem will always be associated more with the Mobile Suit, just because CCA blew my mind and was my earliest encounter with gundam that i could remember...i remembered the MS'es more than who piloted it heheh... I did thk it was the tristan for a moment, but then thats not a tristan shield, and i cant remember any "Nu" kit announcements for the nu ...

dizman Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I haven't used buyee and after a bit of messing around with the website I couldn't get the hazel to pop up either.

kajnrig Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah, I dunno about Buyee, either. Five minutes of looking around got me nothing. From Japan makes it fairly simple, though - copy/paste the P-Bandai product page URL into FJ's search bar and it'll take you directly to a preorder page. http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/special/order/confirm/http%3A%2F%2Fp-bandai.jp%2Fitem%2Fitem-1000115790/N_1/lgk-link_search_url_sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
