So i just got into Gundam. To be specific, I got shown designs and then episodes of Gundam 00, and for the first time really liked it. i have always found Gundams so busy looking and over the top, or else very square and block so that neither really appealed to me. When Gundam finally came to Australia it was Gundam Wing, which I didnt like at all. Busy designs, annoying characters...it just didnt grab me.
but that turned around when i was shown 00, and I suspect ill like Seed ok too based on what I have read. So, being the vaguly obcessive compulsive guy i am, I started looking at Gundam models and toys. And hewre is where I got bamboozled.
So many scales! And then within a scale, there are different grades. It all got a tad confusing. I gathered a bit from Wiki, and a bit from looking around, but Im still confused about whats happenign. So I turned to u all for assistance.
There are 1/100 cool looking 00 models. There is a 1/60 Exia. There are both nice lookijng and lousy looking 1/144's. There seem to be very very small overpriced toys. isd that it from 00 so far?
Next; I went out and grabbed a couple of the kits just coz they looked cool. One was a freedom from G-Seed, and thats looks fine. The other is a Crossbones, which also looks great, but i have no idea what its from. If Im reading right, it seems to be just a random thing Bandai made up. In fact i found a section on toywave that seemed to be all random things Bandai made up! Is that common?
And lastly, is there a listing anywhere, with imnages, of the ships? Im sure i saw a ship kit ages ago i really liked and was going to get, but talked myself out of.
Cheers all!
