Sanity is Optional Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Still waiting for the Inevitable Mercurius and Vayeate set on the US site. Given that Wing is more popular in the US than in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting the pilot figs is one of my favorite parts of the build although it usually ends up delaying everything because its the very last thing I do. Do you or would you take commissions on painting pilot figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I don't normally even bother painting MG pilots because they're ridiculously small, but I gave Zechs(Milliardo?) a shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mingus Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Promotional renders of the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 are available.

Sanity is Optional Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Also supposedly it will include LED gimmicks (by default, not via add-on). I'm down for one, I skipped the first PG RX-78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy00z Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The only thing I don't like is the shape of the chest vents. It would look better if they swapped the chest vents around with the shorter end towards the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think the lower arms are a bit clunky looking and there seem to be details that are actually just stickers from the video description. I think I’ll wait on this one. It also looks far more traditional than the concept image a bit back. I do like the overall style, just would like to see more before buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mingus Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 9 hours ago, Big s said: there seem to be details that are actually just stickers from the video description I think those details are self-adhesive photo-etch parts. There are metallic coloured ones under the vents, on the torso and in the groin area. The "3d stickers" look to be coloured, self-adhesive photo-etch. I wonder if they will scale back the kit and release a version without the photoetch and light up gimmicks, like the PG Falcon. It also looks like there are actual metal parts for the vulcans and backpack thrusters. The parts list also lists magnets for some purpose as well as a new evolution of the light up beam saber from the first PG. The first PG had an option set which had a light up beam saber, but the light emission came from the blade. In this iteration, it looks like the light comes from the hilt and you can use it to light up the backpack when the hilts are in the backpack.

anubis20 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Finished MG Buster Gundam. Overall a very nice and easy kit to work on. Getting the guns into place was a little stressful and I probably wont ever combine them again Just have the Blitz and Duel to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Jesus. Who directed this video, Michael Bay? Anyway, the proportions don't look all that appealing, honestly. Actually that's a lie, it looks fine. But I'm reminded of the RG GP01, and I did not like that rendition of it at all. It's mostly the legs, I think. Not sure if it's the giant calves or what, but... eh. Well, whatever. It looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The stickers I was complaining about are the signal ones. The easiest ones to see are on the knees. I just think that on a high priced super advanced perfect grade kit that those should at least be separate plastic or maybe should have a light gimmick. Instead they just used basic colored foil stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that on a high priced super advanced perfect grade kit that those should at least be separate plastic or maybe should have a light gimmick. Instead they just used basic colored foil stickers If you're referring to the ones on the top of the knee armor, that's a fold-out panel, there's no space behind it to have a light-up gimmick. Also having a 2-part mechanic would leave a big red part visible when it opens. Sticker seems to be the only way to get the "open hatch" gimmick to work.

Big s Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It is a thin panel, but I do think there’s enough space for at least separate color parts or could have been designed with lights in a different way. The shoulders and a few other spots have those reflectors as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
