GFFN Full Armor Unicorn:

Is that the Metal Composite or regular GFF?

exlusive armor packs too me are a waste.

I dont mind an exlusive figure but pieces of things....not cool

I made the mistake of getting the SOC BIG O cause i thought it came with all advertised extra misslie and associated affects. It did cheapen my purchase and left a bad feeling with me that I dont buy anything I even get a wiff of exclusive as this stuff eventually will be sold on the common market if they cant sell enough of.

strike

PG 00 has a very simple frame that lacks the detailing and complexity of the strike kit. Posability is lacking compared to strike as well.

THIS and its Fragile. I still like the inner frame from the standpoint technology has moved beyond the Piston Tech but really a lot more could have gone into the kit for the pricepoint. To me its as fragile as the MG Unicorn.

Here's a few bugs/Issues

The cockpit hatch is just a thin piece of plastic No inner moldeing so the winglets on it might snap if your not careful

Posability is a bit ich ...the clickity clack gear/clutch is neat but it hinders from doing cool poses. You have to be careful in some points ie the shoulders you almost have to dissasemble the shoulder skirts to access the clutch to move the arms. DO i really need a clutch system in the wrists. I know it was added to hold the big gun/swords but really any real movement they just fall out. The stand cannot display the O Raiser properly. The weight of the thing either tips it forward or backward. The connection peg is too short??????(same as the MG Unicorn waist and MG Sinaju Shoulders) So if sold for a lower pricepoint grab it otherwise pass and get the strike or even the red frame. Personally I think the GP02 and 01 unit is the best of the bunch. Although not anything near in the form of asthetics and agility but its a big Mech and its well built.

Nice website, but I'll stick with gundamstoreandmore.

I'm fortunate to live 40 minutes from their warehouse, so they were kind enough to even let me shop around when I stopped by Ann Arbor to pick up my order. In terms of both gunpla inventory and prices they just can't be beat. And unbelievably excellent customer service too.

if they got great cs then why do i get a personal voice mail when i dial the number from their website or when i email them and ask about a few items and they never return an email

Didnt expect to get this today on a Saturday, Fedex ground delivers saturdays? Anyway just had to get this kit.. Red frame looks soo bad ass with the tactical arms. Got this kit from gundamplanet.com

I really like the mold. I have the Blue Frame and its awesome. I just dont like how they stretch the features of the backpack. It reminds me of the ridicules configurations Takara/Hasbro invent with their transformers which leaves much to imagination of what purpose it really serves. But the clear parts on the reissues for the 25th is a great idea.

why is STIJLDB (Smokey Thing Inhabiting John Lockes Dead Body) depicted as a dragon in the ancient mayan ruins. What are mayan ruins doing on the island. Why are the cannon fodder zombies, if dead is dead then do people get reincarnated ie Jacob as the boy, how come Jacob has a name and STIJLDB doesnt, if STIJLDB wants to get off the island and kill everyone...why what would you do then when everyone is gone...wierd motive, Jacob mentions rules??? what rules, if your some scary monster that rips peoples limbs off and then turns them into zombies then why do you need rules????what happens to the skin job when STIJLDB becomes himself, how many lives did jacob/STIJLDB claim over the 100's of years. IS Desmond a time traveling Mutant xmen and is Saiyd a Deadpool clone. I swear the writers did drink the kool aid and it must have been STIJLDB's. I have completely tuned out of this show. I used to get excited but its now more of meh and I want to see what the writers come up with for a show ending. Its time to give things away in terms what really everything is and stop streching this thing out like a hour long episode of Y&R

Thank god for Sparticus, STU and the Pacific.

Well I started to build my Rx-0 HD, with cage.

And well it still sucks. I took much care building it this time. This thing really needs a whole other rework. Waist is still fiddly and extremely loose. Come on Bandai could you make the waist peg longer!!!

Also What I didnt do first time with out the proper tools I managed to do this time with all the proper tools. I broke a PIECE. You instantly get that feeling like (MOTHERfartER!!!) I started the build on the TIT Sinaju and what a marvel. This thing is hopeless. What happened was the front skirt, the part where its supposed to slide upward to revel the pink crap broke. What is really stupid was the way the connected piece that connects the two plates together is such a stupid engineering concept. on the skirt portion their is a fitted cuff that snaps into place. On the other end of the connector is a socket where the other front skirt plate fits into on peg that is so thin and weak to properly put in with even the slightest of presure. Why!!! Why not make it the same fitted cuff! and then have a cover plate to hide it. so the thing snaps off and i have to glue the plate in its destroy mode. Ka should be banned from any Transforming mecha, moving mecha, morphing mecha or and other mecha that has moving pieces. What a shame. Who designed the Zeta?? I remember even the version 1 MG Zeta held up better than this junk. The Version 2 Zeta MG is even a bigger engineering marvel, and I swooshed the thing around the cave and even transformed it more than twice and it still had no breakages, no loosy goosy joints. fart they want 200 plus for the GFFMC. No thanks. Ka please please stop making transforming mechs and leave it to the experts to figure out ie Kawamori and I cant think of any others

love it a whole lot more minus the tats and it s too red reminding me of a dangan jd

dormcat of Anime News Network was nice enough to translate the lyrics to this AMV:

Animation in the Heavenly Regime is in turmoil

An "Astro Plan" has been released recently

Nothing more than exceeding SEED mode and shooting some planes

We could save the world from its crisis

Shoji Kawamori couldn’t stop crying, "How come they all look like my designs?"

Character designs are damn alien-like

Brave young men of Sky Arrow Squadron make miracles

Protect Earth's high tech with martial arts in Wuxia novels

Kira Yamato means nothing to me

"Flying Dragon" cuts like hot knife through butter

Jin Yong, please give me divine powers

My name is now "Space Adventures", given by my big bro

To show our dedication to Gundam and Macross

We never give a damn about copyrights

Plagiarism? It's just a doujinshi

[Repeat from start]

In truth, you just don't have to be so picky

Producers are trying hard

If we don't do this, we'd have no rice to eat

In the meantime, we sell toys while we wait and see

One day we will be dependable ourselves

WTF did i see right??? Was there a Wing Custom 0 VF-25??? I remember reading in the book " Toy Wars" over the many legal battles over copy rights between Matel and Hasbro. To the point Breast size was measured and presented as evidence over the Cindy and Barbi dolls.Why haven't the producers been sued!

This is the only StarGate Show I ever loved. Great drama and good acting like the the good old days of Season 1 and 2 BSG!!!

Awesome

Great Movie Loved it !!!

Hopefully there is HTTYD 2

If anyone is interested in ordering the Tamashii Limited Fix Metal O Gundam, preorder is now available at Toy-wave :

http://www.toy-wave.com/eng/detail.php?id=...0&table=425

affordable. Looks good. Kind of an updated RX-78-2

HG's can be cheap lil toys, but MG's are not ideal for going "I'm gonna crush you Zeta Gundam KAPOW!" with the fists. MG's and PG's are made more for the collector who enjoys the occassional posing and photographing for kits.

You'd probably wanna get the cheap-o's like 1/44 and 1/100 HG kits. They can take a bit of a beating but they'll lack the attention to detail that you'll get off the MG's.

In other news, I finished the new RX-0 kit. Gotta say, very impressed. It transforms MUCH better than Version Ka...soooooo much better.

I'm tempted to rip the Ka pieces off and buy this RX-0 Banshee custom to add some needed spice to the collection.

Let's see....the chest's unfolding out to NT-D is different, it slides in or out and snaps when you hit the end of the slide rig. The armor on the forearms are much more stable and don't wobble out of place when you change forms, and the hips actually pull out of place and snap back into position for NT-D. Bottom of legs at the ankles slide out instead of just lower and letting theankle armor drop down like the old version.

That's probably all I can really think of, tighter fitting on the armor to the frame, frame parts extend nicely to NT-D and stay in place well.

This is a winner kit guys for a good price in comparison to the Ka.

I'm still waiting for mine with the Cage. I like the look of the mech only in destroy mode. I also want to purchase the GFFMC when it drops in price. But the reviews seem to confirm that the version 2 kit is a cheaper and better option. The GFFMC uses some of the old mold tech.

not gonna happen. Damon Lindlof & Carlton Cuse already said

that tells you they are effective short story writers but anything more they fall short.

What I would have expected is that they tie up the shows plot. But instead they are adding more plot than is neccessary and therefore there is no possible way to give viewers a final closing to an overall exciting series. I would have liked an ending like BSG where you get closure and story completion

Desmond is ALL KICK ASS! I think he is a Jacob reborn much like smokey took the appearance of Locke

I bet he turns into a white puff of smoke and does the van tango with smokey

I m really not happy the real locke was killed off. Such a pivotal character and a good compliment to Jack with Jack now walking around with the DUH look!!!!!!!!!!!

Kabooooom well she wasnt popular!

Richard: no its white no its black no its white Ill spin you round right round .....

There be ghosts on de island cause patchy the pirate says so....although their ghosts they cant talk to each other. WTF Mother**** You say sorry to libby michael shes dead like you ! Oh wait a minute their is another ghost multiverse

I am the only one that thinks the writers have lost their marbles.....and decided to make the cities roads by throwing spagetti into the air????

Said: The guy has the most EVIL stare. YESSSSSSSSSS MASTER YESSSSSSSSS

blah

When Jacob sat down next to the Man in Black there at the end of the story, the first thing that came to my mind (and my mouth!) was "Morning, Sam. Morning, Ralph."

Me Too

all you needed was the punch cards and clock!

Meh, this is why I quit MG's at the start of the ver 2 releases. I had quite an extensive collection going, only to have to re-buy them again? hell no, although Zeta 2.0 and MK.II were impressive. With that and the MG price jump, I said I might as well build PG's exclusively and occasionally G-system and I haven't regretted it. MG's are decent, but nothing feels more like an accomplishment or says kick ass like a foot tall Gundam with 700 or more parts and LEDS.

Yes but....MGs seem to have nicer proportions and can pull off crazy poses

And here is a pic:

Found here.

whoa first the MC Code Geass and now this

Well there goes my money I was putting against a VF Tornado

BEAUTIFUL

Where is Pete He is a huge Gurann Lagann fan

so your point is you hate a toy you've never owned nor even handled because you disliked a model kit that has nothing to do with the toy in question, mostly because you don't like the inherent design of the mech... great logic there chief

:edit: now that I have one in had I can evaluate if how baseless you claims really are.

Quick question.. am I hungry too? Where did I say I hate the toy. I said the toy is not worth the price. I said the product is a MG Model done Professionally. I compared it to other GFFMC models price wise and what you get with previous releases. I also compared it to a VERY flawed MG first release which is what its based on. If you dont want to admit the first release model was poorly designed statue oh well. The fact i bought it and gave it a chance speaks to the fact I liked the mold. I did say most KA figures are too fragile. I also said I would still get it but a reduced price. I dont need to buy a professionally done model and then discover that its not worth the price tag after the fact and suffer from PPD thats what your for. I have already read the reviews. Maybe you should revisit your argument and try to formulate something better and learn to read.

Here is my take on it.

I own 3 GFFMC figures, which is the far superior of the two with GFF being the lesser. I only collect Transformers (Reissues, Encore, BW era, followed by RID, with selective Movie figures,FP, and MG) SOC, Yammies, CMs,Zoids, HMM Zoids, MGs and PGs and the odd Jap Sub pop mecha collectible. So I am familiar with a wide selection of mecha offerings. I am very happy with my G3 RX-78-2. Z Plus BST and the Psycho Gundam MKII. They each cost me $135, $210, and $120 CDN respectively and are a super edition to any adult collectors display cabinet. Essentially they ARE MGs done professionally. In regards to the Unicorn Gundam, when the first version was released as a gunpla I jumped all over it. Then disappointment set in. Should not be surprised as most of KA’s kits are wafer thin and have a wine glass fragility. The thing was not posable. Crappy inner frame and transformation that was laughable. It morphs. It doesnt transform folks. Transformers transform. Aquarion transforms and combines. Dancougar and Valks transform. This thing has panels that flip up like a skirt. Well I tossed it in the garbage and promised myself never to get another KA Hero Gundam outside of Wing. When announced I wanted to get this figure but the price really doesnt justify this figures offerings. Essentially the old mold done professionally with no extras and fixes unlike the HD w/Cage Gunpla. Sure Ngee might have all the historical background on Bandai product lines but that still doesn’t justify the pricing or even answer the real question around the pricing…WHY?

Look at what you get from the 3 I mentioned that are a part of my collection. I recently purchased the HD version with Cage for a measly $100 CDN. The fixes, the special coating and great Stand. I am sorry but this is just another cash grab and try to justify and refute all you want but that’s what it is pure and simple. Playing on the excitement of a show that is pure gold since Stardust and MS 08 Team. I bought into the hype with the PG 00 Raiser and paid the ridiculous price. Only to discover that it was the WORST PG ever made. I do still plan on getting it but I am willing to wait for the sale tag. I used the money I was going to pay for it towards my recent purchase of the Yammie Patlabor Ingram

Im glad this is coming out. Looks Real cool.

I always tighten joints by putting a layer of clear nail polish on each part and letting it dry before peicing the joint back together. Basically like the superglue trick but it doesn't have a chance of whitening/discoloring/warping the plastic.

I used to do that now elmers white with some cotton ball material does the trick for the ball joints

In regards to the Unicorn. I am still waiting for My HD w/Cage but I suppose this has to be the best of the two releases, between the TIT non posable and Bland white. And you get a cage with a storage bin.

Please forgive the double post but I received my Starks and Zulus and have finally had time to handle them and take a few pics. Love the Stark but no too impressed with the Zulu honestly.

Here's a short slideshow with comparison pics of the RD Stark VS the MSIA Jegan.

Articulation on the Stark is excellent for the most part.

Also Jennifer Aniston

too bad robot spirits doesnt do a bigger scale. The price point is awful for what you get

Finally watched the entire episode. Good stuff. Makes me wish I could read the novels... (I tried. The Japanese is REALLY difficult.)

Its not that Japanese is difficult, its the chinese parts. Japanese Calligraphy is fairly simple and easy to learn along with the language. But mix in the chinese characters and its a whole new ball game. That and mandarin has four tones and cantonese has 9 while Japanese has only 2. So the spoken form is also easy to learn. When I was attending my Japanese language class, the younger students also found it difficult to learn the chinese characters but sine they have more thats why they need to use them. As for Unicorn...a new episode every 6 months...sigh, i wish they could release them a bit more together. By the time the second rolls out your on to your next gundam series.

The old PGs use to have light-up eyes or chest (Wing Zero Custom). I recall the 1/60 NG Strike Freedom had the light-up body. Then of course, these days, there's MG Exia with the light-up chest and PG 00 Raiser with the light-up, animated GN drives.

There is a whole line of 1/60 Lightups

Strike Freedom is pretty good. Its leaner than its NG Destiny 1/60 Cousins. Then there is the Rick Dom and the Go-uuf, which are closer to anything PG like.

PS. On the same Bandai 30th Page, I see that they will be releasing Metallic Coating PGs SOB!!! They look nice!~

I wonder why someone cant pick up distribution rights for Gunpla. Bandai would gain and have more feedback from collectors in what they release and get some parts support!
