Vifam7 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Everyone's seen the awesome video trailer for the MG 3.0 RX-78, right? From watching the first 30 seconds, one might say this is not Version 3.0 but rather Version 6.0. Edited May 18, 2013 by Vifam7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaginpit Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Everyone's seen the awesome video trailer for the MG 3.0 RX-78, right? Honestly Its cool but to me its just a larger scale RG. I see no difference and hence it makes the RG a 3.0. I have no need for yet another RX-78 Nice try bandai. Look at your competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I think the fact that it's a larger scale RG makes it more interesting and inherently better than the RG proper. Every complaint I have about the RG boils down to it's too tiny and therefore fiddly and fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 THAT looks awesome. I wasn't very fond of the "tweaked" Epyon asides from the wings, but this is definitely an improvement. It's more subtle than what they did to Epyon. I do hope it has some RG-style coloring, the two-tone red and white/grey on the RD figure looks awesome.

anime52k8 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Anyways I just hope they do a better color pallet than MG Tallgeese (not that I wouldn't be painting it anyways). I still need to paint up my MG Deathscythe. also need to actually get Heavyarms, Shenlong and Sandrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 BTW, most important question about this kit: How will it handle the two handed rifle holding pose? Basically, if it can't two-hand grab the twin buster rifle with the shield still on the arm, the kit is dead to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just to clarify, this guy is called MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero EW. Newer pics and details: Gundam Wing Endless Waltz MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero EW - Images & Info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Proto Zero is the original wing zero concept right? Not the one quattro actually builds based off that design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's whatever they retcon it to be. To me, this is a "tweaked" TV Wing Zero. Nothing more or less. Not a redesign, not really a different version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So it looks like for Wing suits, the MG scale will basically be only Endless Waltz style except for MG Wing, but the HG scale MAY (hopefully) give us the actual animation suits which I am definitely on board for especially if they do more enemies to go with them.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 New MG Sazabi Ver Ka was announced. Since I'm a fan of all things Sazabi, this will be an insta-buy. And I WILL make time to build and paint it. After my MG Nu, after my MG Labors, and after my Valken kits, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Totally not surprising in the slightest. Also totally not possible to tell what it's actually going to look like based on those pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely terrified by the thought of how the mechanics of the funnel backpack will work. At least there including a stand this time, RG freedom was competely worthless in terms of being able to stand on it's own, I don't see this being an improvement. BTW: http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/07/hguc-1144-unicorn-gundam-unit-3.html?m=1 so Unicorn 03 is kind of meh, but friggin full frontal Bawoo, now that I'd buy.

Its like they just take a Unicorn frame and stick random crap on it. Meh is right. I agree with the Shinanju upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaginpit Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 So Its nice at first glance. Presentation is stunning. But IM not sold on the no sprues thing. The pieces are all over the place inside the tray. I m thinking its already going to be a nightmare to assemble. The frame is more solid than an MG but a little tight.

SuperHobo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Man that kit looks pretty damn daunting and you still have to sand off all of the nub marks? I think the guys who produced this kit were possibly albeit to ambitious, but I like the idea of not having to sand off nub marks and such.

slaginpit Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Well Guys your the first to see it Not looking forward to this some parts are Kotobukiya small if anyone has had any experience with them they will know how frustrating it is using tweezers but when you have small parts scattered in the tray outside of their place of rest Man I really hate this kit. And its not like they did me any favors almost 90% of the parts have the sprue marks on them so I have to cut them anyway. And with the size of the trays from A -N I dont have enough floor space to keep them all out for me to cherry pick the parts. What a disaster Edited August 9, 2013 by slaginpit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nice 3D jigsaw puzzle. This makes the initial inventory and inspection fun and how attentive are the workers at removing nubs and mold seams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Imagine how much cheaper this kit could have been if they just took the runners and stuck them in polybags like a normal company instead of having someone sit there and nip five thousand parts from their individual sprues and put them in twenty vac-form trays for each kit.

dizman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 That's a lot of parts to find and categorize before you put em together, hopefully it'll all be worth the time. Are you going to paint/customize it in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltane70 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The more important question.. How much did the kit wind up costing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaginpit Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 these trays are huge. Well Im going in!. And no I am not going to paint it Actually the green armor is very dark. The pieces are nicely molded in color and chromed and even metal pieces See all the pieces that are NOT resting in their place SIGH! This one is a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
