    Wow, Star Saber looks so much more refined as a toy compared to Ultra Magnus (and not because of the lack of colours in that image). Star Saber definitely stands a good chance of dethroning MP-10 as best MP yet.

    Err... Bandai has been doing that for quite a while now with other MG kits and not just for Turn A or X.

    More detail than MG? I prefer to have my Gundams with a nice, solid inner frame with cockpit and pilot figure, which doesn't look like plastic matchsticks slapped together to emulate a frame.

    I was excited, then I went to the site and saw 1/144 scale... meh

    What exactly does the logo represent, can't make it out?

    Amazing what an integrated waist joint can do for the battroid. Now if we could only get some double jointed knees, torso joint and forward pivoting shoulders in future valks... Pic request, can someone do some close-up profile shots of the head (no fancy angling). Would appreciate it, thanks.

    Why is everybody acting stupidly suprised? This is what he looks like in the cartoon, what did you expect white with black and yellow striping?

    Hate the Batsuit (what's up with all that vein-piping?) and disappointed that aestethic insparation is being drawn from DKR. Is my perception wrong? I have always seen Batman as a sleek and clever martial-arts fighter not a big brutish brawler.

    They need to. It's another one of Yamato's "figher over everything else" designs. Battroid and Gerwalk are just a complete insult to fans of these modes.

    pass, good luck having fun posing the VF-0D in battroid.

    I know asking for scale in Transformers is like asking for no holes in swiss cheese, but UM in bot mode is a bit big for my liking and not really what I remember from animation. So the three things I don't like from the outset are size, red bumber and the lack of waist articulation.

    Star Saber looks pretty good in prototype form. Strong potential here to beat MP-10 as best Masterpiece yet.

    The S-Head was destroyed due to that stupid 3rd cyclops eye. And seriously, votes for A-type??? That is like placing Fiat Multipla ahead of Maserati Ghibli (2013). If this was a poll for ugly and boring I could understand.

    More web-exclusive Master Grades: MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka HWS!!! MG Unicorn Full Armor (red psycho frame) MG 00 Gundam Seven Sword (inspection colour)

    I wonder how difficult it would be to give the Kai the backward sweeping wings like the YF-19. If I remember correctly, the Kai was shown doing this in that DYRL homage episode. And yellow > gold. Looks tacky and will only work if the rest of the Valkyrie gets a metallic red coating.

    Butt-flap is not so cool, but at least it is not a forward waist flap like on Rodimus, that becomes unsightly when you try to pose him with a leg moved forward. The gaps everywhere I am willing to deal with, but the lack of waist joint annoys me more. That is standard articulation I expect from a MP Transformer. I am curious to know what die-hard "no wrap-around armor" UM fans think of this so far?

    Web-exclusive MG MSA-0011 S Gundam (Bst) coming August. Not cheap, but Bandai has got to put that old mold some use right?
  18. lechuck
    I like the 00 movie, mainly because it pushed beyond the standard parameters of the Gundam franchise. When or where did Bandai say they would never do subs/dubs anymore after Unicorn? I wouldn't hold my breath, looking at past Blu-Ray releases, none of the older titles like Zeta, Seed, Wing, CCA, F91 or 08th had subs/dubs.

    New pics of UM! (courtesy TFW2005)

    Bat-suit looks horrible, they trying to make it look like graphic novel Dark Knight or something. And what is up with always having tiny ears on the cowl for batman nowadays. Meh As for vehicles, I can only hope we move away from the ugly, brutish and aesthetically non-descriptive ones from the Nolan movies. If not, then I hope Superman smashes the damn thing to pieces in the first few seconds

    You son of a Bi... Bandai!! Pretty awsome they are doing the MG Hi-Nu Ver. Ka, will buy at least two of these! I actually still like the first one, that one can still hold its own against newer kits. I think its only weak point to me are those sliding hip-joints as I had those break on me. I replaced them and have had no issues afterward, but I am still a bit wary about them. Never had problems with the reinterpreted design, I think Izubuchi was asked by Bandai to do this. RE/100 is kind of reassuring that 1/100 is still viable for Bandai, with all the 1/144 stuff they keep pumping out. Not a fan of Nightingale, but Mk.-III and GP04 are some great selections, might get these. I can live without proper inner frames for this line, but one thing I do hope is that they do not omit the cockpits/hatches and the tiny pilots. That is something I have always liked with the 1/100 scale.

    Offenbach, sind ja nur an die 50 km. Had the same experience, 09:00h bang "sold out". Almost feels like Amiami excluded Europe on this one. Meanwhile NY was constantly crapping out whereas HLJ and Anime-Export seem to be using a different atomic clock. Needless to say that coming into work one hour late was not woth it. Will not do this again unless I am on leave.

    Hey ein Mainzer, das ist ja ein Katzensprung von mir entfernt. Glück bei den Vorbestellungen gehabt oder doch liegen lassen?
  24. lechuck
    Arrrggghhhh, out of all the times why do they always pick 16:00h JST!!! That is 09:00h here in Germany, work time, meaning I do not even get the chance to take part on the pre-order game. And why open up a pre-order when it is almost EOB, that makes no sense to me!?

    He does look beefy. I can live with it, but I also would not complain if they trim it down a bit. The two things that stand out to me at the moment from those pics are UM's size, Takara says they scaled him accordingly, but I cannot ever remember him that much taller than OP. Mind you, me basing something on a poorly animated kids cartoon is not ideal either. At the moment it looks like there is no waist joint for sideways twisting.
