Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Glad I am not the only one getting two units. I have one on pre-order at HLJ and one at BBTS. Definitely want to do a display with the Zeta C1s and EX-S gundam.- 6025 replies

I got my Shin Getter today and the damn thing is AMAZAING!! Holy crap did Sentinel out do themselves!! I will try to get some photos up but all I can say is WOW!!. It definitely feels and looks like a $300 toy. Solid paint work all around the figure. You have matte, gloss, metallic, and transparent pieces. The transparent pieces with the bright gorgeous green makes the piece pop. Tons of sculpt and painted detail all over. The bare plastic is not an eye sore and the face sculpt is perfect. I was very surprised how much diecast they put into Shin Getter. I am used to the Re:edit Iron men that are light so this was an awesome surprise when I picked it up. Does the Sentinel Mazinkiaser have the same weight? The joints have perfect tolerance and nothing felt loose. It is well balanced and can pull off any pose with the engineering they added. My biggest negative I have is why they changed the weapons. The toy itself looks exactly like it did in the show, but they way undersized the weapons. Which is a big bummer because I love the Getter Scythe. I had three very minor paint issues, but nothing noticeable. I would have to be looking for them. If Bandai decides to do a SOC of Shin Getter that will be the only competition. This is the current definitive Shin Getter.

Yeah, they really have to finish the destroids. We just just need two more, you can do it Bandai!

huh, did not realize the RD were non-scale. I always thought they were 1/144.- 6025 replies

If the Metal Builds/Composites are 1/100 scale would say the Metal Robot Spirits are close to 1/144 scale.- 6025 replies

I don't think they did the Damashii line, I know they did in the old MSIA line back in the 90s. I am hoping to pick one up at reasonable price. I hesitated during pre-order and they sold out.- 6025 replies

I got my shipment in from HLJ. The Red Skull approves of the damage done to the wallet. I had time to open one thing and choose the Eva. I was very impressed, Revoltech improved on the original design by adding a revoltech joint to the hip. The original figures could only move the legs back and forth, no side to side. The added joints fixes that so it acts like a universal. It does not come with the same accessories as the original but the lance lance is great and it comes with plenty of hands. And they aren't using they usual revoltech stands, they have switch to using the figma stands. Got to find some time to open my new Hi-Metal R!

Good choice with the Kahatriya! Bandai did a really good job with it, makes up for the HG model kit. Look forward to getting the Awakened Unicorn with the shield funnels in a couple of months. Nice pick up! I have been tempted by some the NxEdge figures but I don't think I need to start collecting another line.

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to shipping my private warehouse this month. Looks like the Riobot Shin Getter has also been pushed back to February. Guess I will be waiting for the Hi-Metal R Elint Seeker and see how many days I have left on things. February is getting really expensive because the Soul of Chogokin Gypsy Danger is also coming out that month.

Right now I am working with the Vallejo Mecha Color Gloss Varnish. It is a good clear coat but I need to practice with it more. I was using Testors gloss and matte finish with a couple of Future mixed in for self leveling. That worked pretty good.

I can airbrush the paint with a smooth finish but when I add the clearcoat it has a slight texture.
