Loop Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah it's a weird design and I do prefer the red and blue frame to it, but I think I will get it anyways even if it live in a box for eternity lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joppewo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think the Gold Frame is too complicated design wise. Looks more like a suit out of Build Fighters (kitbash?) I wonder how much Tamashii would price the Strike Freedom, considering that each subsequent MB release has been getting pricier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think the Gold Frame is too complicated design wise. Looks more like a suit out of Build Fighters (kitbash?) I wonder how much Tamashii would price the Strike Freedom, considering that each subsequent MB release has been getting pricier because it is a kit-bash unit. on the launch of the gold frame, the right arm was purged due to error in the system and some time in the manga, lost its head on a battle VS red frame. After that, it gets upgraded to incomplete amatsu by putting a new head and when they farm the blitz right arm. The upgrade later on are unique though.

Hikuro Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I know I'm old school but I would give that design a 1.2 out of 10 - don't know the anime or anything - just MO . . .you don't know the anime or anything so you're gonna give it a 1.2? woooow that's rather harsh.it's part of the MSV line in the SEED universe. it's really a heavily modified astray gold frame which was one of Orbs prototype mobile suits that was on Heliopolis when ZAFT attacked the factory where the original GAT machines were held. Lowe Gear a junket and Gai Murakami a mercanery were able to recover the Red and Blue but sadly had to leave the incomplete Gold Frame behind which was recovered by some nasty people. I think the frame had undergone several modifications even using recycled parts of the destroyed blitz Gundam after its destruction by Kira and the Strike. I think the popularity behind the gold frame is there's not much out there of it. I only remember a rather crappy 1/144 kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah - Its a unique perspective for this thread since everyone else on here is probably very familiar with the design. If I had seen the anime, maybe its powerful abilities or cool action sequences would have won me over a bit more. But just seeing it cold, with no prior frame of reference, 1.2 is generous . . .

I though the same thing too , but it was sold out as quick as the vf-19. No joke .This is not even a web exclusive too .perhaps short supply due to lower expectations on demand? Or the demand for metal build increased by tons. Just the recent Avalanche Exia (normal version) their preorder window was open for a long time. Probably the one to look at is Nippon-Yasan as they will be senting their workers out to get more preorders with some price increase meant .

That one was open longer because it was a Tamashii web exclusive, so it's more like made to order. AFAIK the gold frame is a general release so the window is short and based on units that can be allocated to any specific store you choose (or get lucky to find).

F360 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 looks like wings but it's some giant claw instead. "Maga no Ikutachi" Energy Absorption Claw The Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Custom inherits the "Maga no Ikutachi" energy absorption claws from the original Gold Frame Amatsu,which are mounted on the back of the suit. These "claws" can drain energy from the batteries of enemy mobile suits through the use of colloid technology, weakening them while at the same time recharging Gold Frame Amatsu's own battery. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MBF-P01-ReAMATU_Gundam_Astray_Gold_Frame_Amatsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of scale, it is smaller than 1/200 so the usual agreement that it is close to 1/220 or if you are asking about the suit in the picture, the two pictures in the left is the Full Armor Unicorn (Gundams have the tendency to have a variant that is Fully Armed mobile suit but called Full Armor) since FAU unicorn has 3 sets of shield and the pilot has super hack Newtype powers in the OVA, he can manipulate the three shield as if they are funnels. the earlier prototype is the Banshee Norn, which is the upgraded version of Banshee.
