Does anyone know whats supposed to be so special about the 1/144 SHCM Pro RX-78-2 Gundam - Shizuoka Model Kit Show Limited Edition?

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail

First I've heard of such a thing. Picture attached to the page doesn't show anything different.

Maybe it's an exclusive package?

Wierd that no other info exists, though.

Anybody know of a good site for getting the latest updates on the HCM-pro's, MG kits, and PG kits that are going to be released? I'm dying to know the 2008 lineup.

That Super HCM pro Zaku (char's) is pretty cool

Where do you guys pic your gundam stuff up? [i usually go through HLJ] Are the prices good?

My siggy

Just need to update a couple, but they're pretty up-to-date.

Is this a new VOTOMS anime or the old one?

New one ... Soukou Kihei Votoms: Pailsen Files

Shinsen has subbed Eps 1 & 2.

3 new Gundams on their way:

I'm guessing that those three are destined for Graham Acre and his anti-Gundam investigation team.

Looks like the Union figures out some 'Gundam-stuff' and mods the hell out their Flags.

There's been a rumor out there for a while that Sam Raimi may be up to directing The Hobbit. With PJ taking on Executive Producer, it's possible.

Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro has also been mentioned in the past.

Great, pics! Thanks!

Yikes! Whenever I get my example, I'm still sticking with laziness and will keep it in Unicorn mode, hopefully with the exclusive Beam Gatling Guns!!

But, yeah, can't wait to see some full write-ups.

**EDIT**

Some blogs have been starting the build-ups and my worries that the Unicorn plates would not fit snugly enough and let some Destroy-mode peek out seem unfounded:

Are there only these 2 OVAs? Or will there be more?

.....how many different kit out already?

From an 'evolution' standpoint, it actully isn't that overwhelming: 1995 --> 2000 --> 2002 --> 2005 --> 2008

It's when you toss in all of the milk-the-mold-variants that can cause the aggrivation.

This month's hobby mag news

MG Gundam Ver. 2.0 - Under development, multi-color mold, core system, G-Armor linkage

MG MS-06R-1A High Mobility Zaku II Ver 2.0 - Black Trinary colors, 4,725 yen

HG Tieren Taozi

Also currently under development is the next MG after the Gundam Ver. 2.0, which is said to incorporate some kind of new technology.

Only 2 more Zaku II re-colors to go after this one.......then the F2s........

Wonder if that "next MG" will be the Bionic Woman?

Oh, dear!

Still---if it lit up, wouldn't they have shown that by now?

Yeah.

While I would also love to see a lit-up special edition,

previously released kits were released at the same time as the regular editions.

--- i.e. Full Burst Strike Freedom and Extreme Blast Destiny ---

So, needless to say, it appears doubtful one will show up.

Nothing but hope at his point, but never count them out.

Best use, so far, of the Multi-MS Stand that came with the HCMPro Exia:

....the box art makes it look pinkish, ....

Looks pink to me. Maybe the clear parts on the sample were painted?

More pic links @ Gunota.

Is this the first Hi Nu action figure ever released? Man, been waiting for this! I hope it doesn't suck. One of my fave Gundams.

It definitley won't suck, but the paint job may be suspect due to mishaps on some recent releases.

Other than the Jumbo Zeta, so far it's all about the Bandai Milk Machine :

GFF Metal Composite Casval's RX-78 Gundam

EMSiA Zaku Real Type Color - January, 2,100 yen

Zeonography Qubeley Set EX - December, 8,190 yen

Hopefully some new MS designs will surprisingly pop-up as the HCM Pro Hi-Nu did.

Plamo Radicon Show 2007 pics are starting to sprout thanks to Gunota:

HGUC Re-GZ

MG Unicorn ver. Ka (I'm still keepinmine in 'non-flash' mode)

MGLTD Sazabi & Nu (Metallic)

You can be sure more bigger and better pics will follow over the next bunch of days......

The CG I'd prefer is the sort used in GITS:SAC.

The style that integrated the vehicles/Tachikomas/aircraft into the scenes.

They didn't stick out and blended well with what was going on.

Some of the Gundam Evolves were kind of like it, IIRC, but it was hard to compare because there was no backgrounds to blend with.

Yup, meant TD. Excuse the confusion.

That's good to hear about the rest of the fig.

Excellent pics, swoosh! (Originally saw them over at toyskingdom.)

May I use some of those in my reference lists? (see siggy - I also PM'd you)

Great job on the eyes....the rest of the fig doesn't look too too bad, but is it one of those deals - "the closer you look" - is when you start to see more QC issues?

Or are we milking?

"Milking"?

Bandai?......."milking"?

Shame on you for the thought!!

I agree with you on the Legend, seems odd. I guess a Freedom PG isn't too far-fetched, though.

Speed sub...yeh those are fun to watch. Missed a line at the end, misspelled "Ptolemaios" (read "Butremos"), sounds like they missed "Linear catapult" in the scene of Kyrios launching, and they can't spell "Geez".

Was good for the impatient (like me), but I'll wait until the more formal subbed versions are out to save and burn to DVD.
