You don't have to support anything. And judging from your post, you steal it anyways. Never met people who steal things they don't like...gotta admit that one's new.

Why did you see it many times?

i wanted to confirm a scene in the movie that one of the natives was humping a tree when the hero walks through the native camp

and yes the navi was humping a tree

who said anything of stealing thats debatable

judging by the comments i should support every movie ever made by hollywood and their bloated salaries and see anything that comes out. I did say it was enjoyable for entertainments sake as much as some tv specials but i also didnt come out and declare this is the greatest scifi movie ever made as did the maker of the movie. I am sure he will get the oscar anyway which i dont think he deserves. As for supporting the film i hardly did that which afforded me the luxary to see it many times. Friends have had the same mediocre response post viewing which was "meh it was ok" to that was stupid which came mostly from the girls

its just sad to see that it takes little to impress people these days which means more of the same

as for plastic addictions yeah its pretty stupid but we are allowed some vices and i guess seeing nonesense movies is one of them

Maybe I should rephrase my criticism and comparisson this way:

Soul of Chogokin: Getting progressively better and better

Transformers: Getting progressively worse and worse

I agree that Takara-Tomy did some excellent, innovative things. Beast Wars ball joint poseability (although it started in G2), MP, etc etc - I'm not going to repeat the priases you typed out because I agree.

The problem is that while it seems that most other companies are making Progress, Takara and Hasbro are in a rut. The movie toys are cataclyismic IMO. MP is moving at a snails pace.

I mean - come on. Look how many new moulds Yamato has put out in Macross. New moulds - not repainted V-F1s. Look at that and then compare it to the snails pace at which we get new MP releases. Why? Takara-Tomy surely has more money to invest in MPs than Yamato does to invest in new Macross moulds - and yet Yamato turns out more new stuff.

And to bring it back to Soul of Chogokin - look at the tempo with which Bandai brings these out and compare it to the horribly slow pace of MP.

Finally, look at the advances made across the board with figures, models and toys from other companies and look at Takara-Tomy who IMO are now stuck in a rut.

It's bad when Car Robots and Beast Wars Neo - which came out in 1998 and 2000 respectively - are more appealing and technologically advanced and have better paint and details than toys tied to multi million dollar movies or even the Unicron Trilogy stuff which came out later and should have benefited from better tech.

But this just goes back to the essential difference IMO between SOC and Transformers stuff - even hig hend TF stuff: namely ... no love.

There is a LOT of love in Soul of Chogokin. The robot is meant to embody the "soul" or "spirit" of what makes the character great and memorable and each one is really really a labor of love.

Tranformers doesn't do this. Little things like the unpainted Dr. Archeville with the MP Starscream, things like the totally stupid faces on Thundercrack and Skywarp. Megatron did at least come with Kremzeek...

But again - that's really four TF moulds in 5 years that are awesome. Compare that to all the moulds Bandai has put out.

As for playability - I disagree.

Check out my photo comics linked below. Although there's a lot of (bad) photoshopping done there - I take the pictures outside and I play with these things. Yamato, Bandai - I handle them pretty ruggedly and they are great for play.

Just look at Yamato's Japanese based tv advertisements - kids are playing with these things in those adds.

I understand that we as foriegn buyers with no access to Yamato customer service or Bandai customer service are way more paranoid -if we dent or scratch or bust up our SOC or Yammie - replacing the part of the piece is an additional couple hundreds bucks maybe....

But still - these are very very good for play.

Pete

ps im not retarded or drunk. i have this new acer laptop and the keybourd is slightly skewed to the left side than what i am used to so i am using a lot of backspace!

ok

do you even have the new prime from movie 2 cause your really missing the point here but anyway

i did check your website out. with my croatian i can browse some of the other pages i got registration help and contact dont know what regulamin is

but i can read a little bit from the page anyway nice website. i need to finish mine next year. you must be doing well on the european market who knows maybe your the next hlj or bbts of poland

i didnt check the exchange rate but judging by the prices i see a loaf of bread again might cost 1000 dollars :lol: :lol: :lol:

mp convoy for 1500 that must mean the average poljoe must make 400000 a year'

i guess the reforms of the early 90s finally fizzaled out now its back to the old red

saw the movie again and again

each time i just cant get away from the fact the navi are praire native tribes.

the countenance

the stance and postures

the yelps and the dress

if i was the hall monitor of MW i would cry racism

but i subscribe to the point of view promoted by the famous 5 comedians so people can say what they want they have the ability to mount a proper defence.

but even i find this movie rather insulting. it insinuates that natives be it on earth or out-worldly are retards??

a world hard drive is assumed to be lesser in thought process than the common collective computing power of mans computers.

lots of loopholes. if gaia in this case was able to tap into the thoughts of animals and mount a defence why did it take 7 years to do so then all of a sudden it needs to react to the threat in the last hour. pandora was in a sense a large living brain with all inhabitants able to connect and retrieve or reposit data???? even humans are able to connect which we see it can read graces thoughts and make a connection. it can too transfer thought patterns and memories into another host. something that in the movie tried promote only humans had that kind of technology. this is where the story should have gone. not dances with 4 legged hounds with thundercats.

i cant believe that so many people are saying this was good movie. yes it was entertaining but a movie a combination of story and visual effecst or visualization is good when it have all of the components necessary to make it a good film. a book needs to have a good story who cares about pictures but we need to reminds ourselves the purpose a screen story is to tie the viewer to the character not the background. otherwise sit down and watch the blue planet or national geographics series on the universe

i have seen many great films and for my age i still prefer the old black and white films, because it relied less on the ooohhh ahhhhh of the background noise and centered on the acting. yes the excuse is its a scifi movie but i believe a good scifi movie is possible. one of my all time favorites in the scifi category was blade runner and the encounters of the third kind. even et.

here it was very annoying to watch the navi reduced to a north american native cliche. even the animals mimicked the look, sound and feel of earths. i remember watching the discovery special on alien life. it was very interesting to see what kind of life would develop in different environments. anyway

this is NOT a good movie

Well - for now it's a pipe dream. I've really put off Ideon and Zambot 3 for too long. Especially Ideon.

I usually try to only own things from anime that I really love or at least thoroughly enjoy.

SOC seems to be an exception because there's just ONE robot. Buying SOC Daimos does not mean I have to go out and get 15 Daimos toys and stuff... I really really like the idea here - also, SOC revisions are few and far between. While I do appreciate revised SOCs - I think I like the idea that the SOC is supposed to be designed superior enough to withstand the test of time. If you think about it- that's not hard. I mean - make it anime accurate, give it all the poses from the anime and the accessories and gimmicks associated with it and make it the best possible. It's a one off deal. And you just keep producing the same one toy for years and years.

I would SOOOOOO love it if Takara-Tomy did this with Transformers... sorry...but I will now proceed to rant about Transformers again...

Look - there are HUNDREDS of Transformers designs. Hundreds. And every year we get a new design and a new crappy toy that's imperfect and full of flaws for the design.

For goodness sake. Make ONE phenomenal toy and at worse make a renewal version ten years later. How hard can it be? This way, you can go through all of the great characters making stupendous toys for them.

I know, I know...it's a line for kids...the MO is lots of crappy cheap toys for kids to gobble up...

But then again - there are plenty of crappy cheap Getter Robo and other Super Robot toys...but SOC is a unique line for people like me who just wan this one greatest of the greats and that's it.

Um...yeah...there's TF Masterpiece I guess... but... I dunno...other than Prime and Grimlock...none of them measure up. Megatron is one big spindly mess and the seekers have extremely limited leg poseability....

but then again...maybe it makes sense to own 5 Transformers that are relatively great instead of five hundred POC(rap) toys...

SOC of course has it easier in a sense too since most super robots don't transform, but rather combine with things or at parts formers or are combinations of vehicles which themselves don't transform.

But yeah...Ideon..Ideon is next on the list. No ifs buts or other doubts.

It's a crime that I still don't have Ideon.

Pete

sorry you stepped in a boundry where you should not have.

First you will not be disappointed with Ideon

second i dont share your thoughts on transformers. In fact a lot of the so called crap toys help innovate if anything for other companies. Out of the pile of crap toys you say there have been many innovations. Ideon still cant stay together at the waist if picked up. Dancougar also has issues of staying together and aquarion. but they are show piece toys. not meant to be played with. transformers has had some great chogokin. the mp line. the small hybrid line. binaltech, alternity. cars that look like real cars and have fantastic transformation sequences and have great looking robots !!!! i havent seen anyone or company come up with what takara can. takara did tackle the brave series with mp liokaiser was pretty good. You speak of the MP seekers but they have the most realistic jet mode of any toy and are about 80-90% accurate to their anime version. Then their is the reissues. Classics that gave the mecha toy a platform to which other companies could spring from. Classics line. Modern day versions of g1 line. nicely designed. bw story arch was the best. great line too ie most of the convoys from primal to the mammoth. energon was the big loser with about 10% good molds. and armada with about 2% good molds. cybertron and car robots 2 lines that had great molds. not a fan of the movies but they too had some pretty good molds. takara went back to redesign the prime from the first movie. too me a mp in plastic

so be careful how you criticize a line of toys that opened the floodgates for other companies to continue making great toys. otherwise we may have had 20 years of chunky monkeys and megazords in skittles colors.

That is him. I was actually considering getting the Black version because I think the general design is so cool... but without the Dragon, Gaiking is just Gay King if you know what I mean

But he and Fisting Mazinger are both long shots. I probably can't afford to get them all. I just want Ideon and Zambot 3 since I actually do love the Ideon anime and also really enjoyed what I saw of Zambot 3.

In fact, I kind of have been doing things backwards with SOC... I am not a huge super robots mecha fan - but I just think the SOCs are so fun and since there is only one character for each series, each of them are unique.

I actually have come to appreciate these Japanese super robot shows where there is ONE hero mecha really instead of hudreds of them running around...

Pete

I have both Gaiking and the Daiyku Maru dragon and they are must additions in any SOC collection

Also the DM Gaiking is better than the first SOC. But they need to really make a revision like they did with Mazinger z

You may also consider getting the GDX C01 Gaiking box set. It reminds me of the old huge chogokin toys and its pretty solid and well made and inexpensive

Best wishes

you too pokemon!

Cracking plastic on a Perfect Grade Gundam??

Sad...

I think they rushed it.

Look - I know it's been like 5 years or more since the last PG - but when did the OO Raiser design come out? It's pretty recent.... so you gotta figure that they spent only a year doing this glorified 1/60 NG ...which is what it looks and sounds like.

Pete

I have never regretted a PG purchase. Not until now or least the price that I purchased it for. I fell into the ooooooh aaaaah of it all and I should have been more patient. I would have more acceptance for its faults if it was a lower price point. Much lower. Maybe they should have sold it under the 1/60 HY2M line and worked on making it more sturdy and better built for the PG line.

That said my build is rather slow for the PG GP01 which in comparison is way beyond the 00

Too bad really. This has left a sour taste with me and the next PG will be a very long deliberation before i buy

Not quite, some of the C-clamps cracked as well. One of them hold the rear knee plate and I actually had to drill the clamp and use a thin wire to wrap pin to the clamp to hold it together.

I can't help but feel that Bandai has really lost a step or two.

WOW....unbelievable. So whats your rating on this.

I havent had any cracks yet... keeps fingers crossed or any other problems outside of it not be able to stand even bare bones!

The only mod I had to do is Crazy Glue the Data band cover to the should ball joint as the tension from the data band would pop off the piece that held it in place.

The other thing that worries me is the posing. You have to remember to use the clutch system otherwise you may break the clutch teeth inside and it wont pose anymore. it will be a raggedy ann puppet. Right now i may have to nailpolish the wrist because it cant hold the gun/sword upright. It either just pops out of the wrist or the wrist starts to sag and the sword falls out of his hand. But as the gun its pretty secure because the is a latch to attach to the forearm

Good thing we have this thread and website to stop shi t like this from selling until the arseholes that rushed this thing through fix it for other peole

In the sequel (hypothetical), humans return 10 years later with a fracking fleet and bomb the frack out of Pandora from orbit and an army of Mobile Suits.... fast forward 100 years later and the human colonists are fed up with the Terran Central Government, and then send a shipment of unobtanium straight into the gas giant. This pisses off Earth which sends troops to pacify the region, and BOOM, The Revolutionary Space War I begins. The colonists eventually win with the help of another alien race nicknamed "Teh SPACE FR4NCH." They now start the Republic of Pandora.

Meanwhile, 99% of the Navi have been wiped out by human diseases such as H1N1 and ED.

:lol: :lol:

Now you need to sequester yourself for ten years. Return from self imposed exile, borrow 1 trillion dollars on purchasing Super Macs and claim you have the best scifi movie of all time.

Hey guys im trying to resolve the issue with the stand for the PG 00

before I lay a claim with PAYPAL

IN the booklet there is a number 054 208 7520

is 054 a country code for japan

When I try dialing from canada i get an error message

Still debating about this one.. i've been always picking up the PG's..well except for the Exia and Rouge Strike.. but from the pics shown above.. i might not jump the gun on this one.

Family PG pics:

Nice collection.

I see you have some NON PG 1/60s there. In that respect The 00 is better. Its just not as good as a PG could have been.

As for the weight of the unit. With Raiser attached its feels about the same weight as a PG Zeta or PG Wing

IF you were to get a PG 00 Wait until it goes on clearance WITH the stand otherwise it isnt worth the 300-350 MSRP

The kit/toy really needs the stand to properly showcase it in its spender.

Some upcoming Kits (these MS from Unicorn are awesome especially the Zakus which I hope we see in MG category and back to basics positioning Thrusters)

And the funny looking Astray Frame. Gundam goes beast wars! :lol: :lol:

OK... I'm a hypocrite after I complain about people wanting dioramas... but what about adding augmented reality cards to every toy? I mean the CG is already there, why not have Big West use them...

wow that is really cool!!!

Man things are really moving along.

Personally I would nt mind some extras. Affordable.

I would really like an armor pack for the VF-0

I love stickers.

More than anything

Affordable stands!!!!!! For all of the models and versions. Man I would love stands for my V1 YF-19 and VF-21 and V1 VF-1. Im old school and I will say this I give a lot of respect to yammy for taking the intiative in trying to go beyond Bandais mold and new. For that Im loyal to my v1 and first generation Valks. Its the same concept with G1 transformers. the original prime and Movie 2 prime or MP prime. You have to respect the originals that started it all. (funny how there was a firesale when the 1/48s came out and then the v2 1/60s from so called fans) BUT STANDS GODDAMIT !!!!!!

Also whatever optional parts they decide to sell Make them GOOD, affordable and sell them as separate set or include it into valk set. Either way i may swing for a blue vf-1 with the optional parts

thanks

Here's a pic with the PG Strike, at 1/144 the Psycho Gundam is huge

I still owe you the review!!!

The Psycho MkII comes with a stand, deflector shields/bits both in open and closed mode, two sets of cables for the forearms (you can detach them and use them as guided weapons) and a pair of closed fists.

man that is HUGE. 10 days and counting until i get mine. Cant wait

Since this is a FOX movie, what are the odds of having an Alien vs. Avatar film?

My money is on the alien/navi hybrid soldier

Sharp Teeth

Acid for Blood

A second set of teeth

fast

stealthy

claws teeth a whip like tail

and he might even glo in the dark

I give the navi about 48 hours

With all the unobtainum talk the Name pandora isnt original either. One of our gas planets in our solar system has a moon called pandora just cant remember which gas giant

Good point about fight scenes - and to tell the truth, as much as I am not a huge mecha action fan - I have to say that one of the things I really appreciated about Mobile Suit Gundam was just how intelligent all the fight scenes were (I speak here of the original anime). The first episode with the dead silence of space penetrated by the Zaku's thrust bursts (or was it the breathing of the pilots?) ...was great. And in general, all of the combat sequences really gave you a feeling that these things were real robots - like tanks or jets or boats - they were machines that were operated and governed by physics and stuff....

Now - I do LOVE Gurren Lagann's fight scenes - those are some of the most awesome action sequences ever.

But in general - yeah. Action in anime is like panties in anime - it's kind of all over the place, and you really need to be careful to find the better quality stuff.

But whatever... it all depends on mood realy...

And still - it's better than stupid Transformers where there's not even much of an attempt at making the lasers do anything but make flashy noises...

Pete

me too

thats why i like MS 08th team so much

ITS tactical and i too like vectored flight in space. One thing i didnt like in that show was when they were in the debris field. Small objects in space travel at huge velocities and could compromise space suits.

But you guys are right I never noticed that there were no vectoring jets on Exia. Just that one static drive. At least with double 0 you have the gn drives able to manuver in various positions. I too have been spoiled but the old star wars mentality of atmosheric flight like patterns in space

huh

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Bandai-PG-Gundam-00-Rai...=item20aea5d67b

Just got this

Now just to work on getting some money back from the ebayer that I originally bought it from. Otherwise I would sell the thing because its total useless without it

right, that's why gundams used beam sabers, since the only inertia you have to overcome is the hilt. But with those big solid swords, usually you see the gundams accelerating it like a giant impaling weapon rather than swinging it around like a proper sword. Or if they do swing it, it's just giant hacking swings, very little finesse.

RRRRRRR me MAtey you swabiess are going to get a taste of mi sword! Muhahahahaah

As impalers sure why not as a last resort BUT GUNS LOTS OF GUNS AND AMMO thank you very much. Sniff thats why it saddens me that Bandai never made the MG Heavy Arms Customs. Gatling guns of hell. No way no exia could survive a barrage of that nature. Plus the Heavy arms was pretty friggin agile

not sure if its a screan cap but I have seen them and they do look like that sometimes

Wow - thanks for the warning. Definitely won't be building it now! Don't wanna find myself in an uncontrolled spin heading straight for the sun or crashing into some planet due to an uncontroled swing

That said...Gundam has all those little positioning thrusters and stuff...and judging by the poses on the box, he basically serves as a thrster for the sword and holds it in front of him...

Although in what little I saw of Gundam seed, they were swinging those Force Impulse swords pretty wildly...

I dunno... I would kinda hope that the entire frame of the Astray was built to inter-act with the Tactical Arms II.

Which brings up an interesting point - namely - weapons systems on Gundams can't be interchangeable, can they? If ...say... Exia picked up Tactical Arms II - he'd be screwed - especially in space...

Exia doesn't have any positional thrusters. That solar energy thingy works great for gliding in the atmosphere - but in space... how exactly would he fly?

Pete

You know, there's a good chance that your guy on ebay, in addition to overcharging you in shipping, probably ripped you off on the stand.

Besides, why don't you simply make your own stand?

shiroikaze:

Damn, that's impressive. How hefty is the model would you say?

Oh im sure of that. But I have bought from him for a long time (FIGURE_HOUSE-EBAY ID) and I have never had a problem. I wrote him an email and he has not responded. I will email him again today and if he doesn't respond his absence suggests he was deceitful and I will respond with a negative feedback and a claim through paypal.

But I am 75% sure that he decided to keep the stand and will sell it for 2ice the price at a later date. As for making a stand. I would not know where to start. I much rather pay the guy that made those awesome Macross Valk stands. I will reach out to him.

As for the MG Astray Build it. Its nice. A red astray is probably best with a PG rather another MG with a bow and arrow and swords is a bit much.

And looky here what I got

As mentioned before Im using the wine bottle to balance the mech so it doesnt do a face plant.

Balanced by the tip of the Ass jet with books

Wow, the designs definitely aren't the best. Disappointing to say the least. But with that much kibble on all the mechs, makes me wonder if they really do combine in some way?

Maybe the action will be awesome though.

Gundum U GAAAAATTTTTTAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Enter ecclesiastical music

:lol: :lol:

So the number 1 complaint I'm getting from people is the "OMG we know! Love the enviroment, jesus stop lecturing us stuff"... now what I don't get is how District 9 can sit there for the entire movie and tell you all humans are evil and racist and deliver the same sort of messege I thought Avatar was getting at , respect people, and everyone was cool with district 9 but the moment a pro-environment thing is ever dropped into a movie everyone on the internet rages. I remember this exact same thing happening when Wall-E came out. People felt like instead of enjoying a movie all they could get out of it was the change your ways or you'll all die backstory of the movie, and I mean seriously how many futureristic movies show NOT evil companys and a happy earth that still is green.

I don't get it. I could go on for hours about how strange this opinion is.

No I dont think its that

I loved Wall-E and its message. Most films protray the darkside of Humanity, In Hellboy two I saw the best portrayal of Humans and the environment. Empty Souls. At least in SCIFI.

I think the thing here the people or story preaching the message feels empty. You feel nothing for them. There is no tie in between the audiance and imaginary world. It just wam bam thank you mam affects and nothing else. It stimulates the senses without stimulating thought and retrospect.

can someone describe the miraculous properties of GN particles.

-interfere with tracking equipment

-fuel source

-Sheilds

-Makes you into a Mutant superhero

- Laser beams ??? Use GN laser beams and block it with a GN shield??

-Wireless Communication Device.

What else

-Beautifying Skin

-Aphrodisiac

-food source

Seriously can they at least even try to make it a little bit plausible

Ok I saw it and i didnt need to go to the theatre which really worked out for me.

1st I think this film could have got me into a theatre if they were showing a NON 3d version. Something called a brain in me keeps telling me its a movie so i cant feel the need to fool my brain enough that its real. Or I could do shrooms and really make it real with out the need for 3d glasses. Plus all those funky colors would be all around me....

2nd. I cant say I hated the movie. It was rather entertaining. The story was piss poor. Generic all the way through and through. Cameron is another Lucas without any writing ability. But its a scifi so I cant judge it as I would judge "the power of one" This film with all the tech to me would have been just as good without it if it had a good story and acting. Sam worthington is ATROCIOUS!. Same sort of droopy, moody monotone acting as he did in terminator. Where did this guy come from?? Days of our lives?? Actually all the characters had very little going for them in their acting. I was surprised Sigourney could not really deliver. She has been know for some power performances. I liked the planet designs. The creatures were cool. I just noticed a 4 legged theme going for all the animals and kept wondering why the Navi didnt have 4 legs or 2 heads or 4 arms.......

The mecha was ok. Nothing special. I wondered about the power loaders and why they were so weakly armored. Nobody really used them with skill except the colonel. In fact the Colonel was the coolest character. I think a little overdone to a howa Colonel would really react. Usually they are more reserved and calculating officers. I may be wrong.

So all in all it was enjoyable. Nothing Cameron spouted as the best SCIFI film EVA!

3rd. Some locations around me were charging premium rates for the 3d effect, shrooms would have been better!. God bless www!

Ok something is off. They guy I bought from on ebay Figure_house hasnt disappointed me so far so I sent him a message before my 1st negative strike against him and claim from Paypal. But first I want to be 100% sure. I have searched the net wide for answers to any STAND????? No one seems to have a definite answer. Thanks BANDAI

I cant take photos of 00 with the Raiser unit attached because its so top heavy it feels like its going to keel over. Even with the Rubber foot pads they are useless as the fee are not long enough to support the weight. Posing without the Raiser unit is hard enough!

I just cant believe they would pull some poo off like this!!!!!! Fu ck any stand would do. And nobody seems to understand this whole bullshit of "initial production" version crap! To me the initial production version means all units made until all sold out. The next run would be the second run. When I went to my local HKD shop he wanted $380 for the Initial production version cause it came with the extra swords and clear parts. I asked him I only wanted to buy the PG red unit on its own and he said he cant split up the unit. On the second run I could. So what the fart happened here!!?????????

Dam im so mad. Cause this thing aint a PG! Its a glorified MG in 1/60 scale!

SO if its the case where I dont get a stand!!!! or the fact that an ordinary one even gets a 1 way stand just so you can pose the 00 Raiser??? my rating drops to 2.5!

Here is why

Price. For just shy of 300 smackaroos This thing aint worth it. The clutch mechanism is a cool gimmick. And even tho the pictures show a nice inner frame on Dalong s website. in reality its pretty much as good as any MG as of late. When I was building it I felt like I was building the Lighting edition of the 1/60 Strike Freedom???? Yeah its more involved but it was a big let down from me building the PG Wing, Zaku etc...

So the Legs and Arms are the best parts. The GN drive binders are second. The chest and cockpit area feels really cheap. In order to light up the head piece you need to remove the backplate and use a knife. NOT COOL. The lighting is piss poor. Gives the effect as someone stuck a candle in a cave and some light creeps out. GN drives are cool. They have an auto shut off feature. NOT 300 COOL THO

Also, I have posed it holding the PG strike as in the "carrying a fallen comrade. it can hold the PG STRIKE!!!! thats how strong the clutch system is. But the positives end there. To pose it (and pretty much forgettabout it without ANY stand or wine bottle!) you really need to think things out. Push this clutch here...push that clutch there...and raise a shoulder armor and depress shoulder ball joint clutch there. By the end of it all your just farting pissed off and you dont want to fuss with it anymore. THE lack of a stand also raises the anxiety level

Without the GN drive Binders the shoulders are laughable. So small and unproportionate. Maybe thats how the line art has it but man it looks dumb.

NO SHIFTING ARMOR!!!!!! WHAT!!! 300 bucks no SHIFTING ARMOR! yup. Has it somewhat in the knee....wow! Also I think im safe to say (PG GP01 in transit and havent bought the red frame) that this is the first PG with no access to frame Armor compartments. Thats gay. I would trade off the feature with the drives for that. Christ the GN drives cant stay on indefinitely. To me exposing the Frame by having Armor panels give you access what something that defined PGs. PFff I get the feeling the losers and crooks at Bandai rushed this project through to cash in whats left of the Fanbase for 00 before Unicorn hits syndication.

Well, Review over. Be warned!

And BANDAI fart YOU FOR NOT EVEN GIVING A BASIC STAND YOU MOTHERfartERS!

OK rant over
