Gundam shield umbrellas are here:

I totally dig the beam shield version, but as cool as they are, they won't protect you from the verbal abuse for being such a nerd.

I wonder if I will be able to order one via HLJ/amiami. The Seed Freedom one looks cool and is not too on the nose with the source material.

I don’t hate the Dom, but the third leg is definitely weird. It’s probably the only thing I really don’t like on it, but there’s already better Dom kits out there. Kinda like the big kneecaps though

AMAZING!

Ooh, I like the proportions on this Nu.  If and when I do build mine, I'll keep the grey panels white.  IMO, there are too may of them and gives a splotchy look I don't particularly care for.

There are going to be a TON of aftermarket parts/add-ons for this kit.

Dat sticker shock tho.....🤑🤑

Honestly i was hoping for a more traditional, non KA design. It looks great, no doubt aboout that, but it looks so different fron the Nu i fell in love in Char's counterattack...

Yeah, definitely an alternative look. I kinda thought they’d stick to the anime proportions here, but I guess not

Me too. I mean, we already have the MG ver.KA (which i love) as a great reinterpretation of the Nu and the metal build is also more toward the KA than the original design. Too bad.

Seems the hguc kit and the new 1/144 are the closest to the og design as far as models go.

The Entry Grade kit nailed the original look of the Nu superbly.  The undergate method used to hide the sprue nubs and the finish it has right out of the box all added up to one of the most fun builds I've had in recent times.  Great price too.

I was looking at the price for this thing and even without the led set, I can’t justify the price. PG kits used to be a bit pricier, but still affordable for the size, but now I feel priced out completely

I like the design, even with the third leg cammode. But,as usual with these newer designs, they all look better animated.

Yeah, seems to be way too pricey. Most people are comparing it to buying a brand new gaming console and with the LED set would be like getting at least one really great game to go with it

Yep . I will be looking forward to seeing all the flashy customs and high end builds of this kit tho..

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably check out as many builds of this as I can, just disappointed that I won’t be able to join in the fun
