azrael Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Definitely looks better. I was right, they did scuplt the model based off the movie version. Super Gundam will only come if it appears in Movie 3. So far, Movie 2 only covers through the Earth stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valk-1S Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Just got my gold marker and finished my Red Astray last weekend. Here's a pic of it. Will appreciate some feedback as this is my third Kit I have built. Just did minor painting with panel lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Also, just open one of my HCM Pros, and do they look real good. Here's a pic of the MK-II Titan. Sorry to post twice as I have problems adding another pic to a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensei Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Great work on the Astray Valk-1S. Now I see why you needed that Gold marker so badly, it does add a nicce touch. You work is excellent as well. Did you get the Junk Guild Sticker with LOWE on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Are the sitting pilot figures that come with the PG Sky Grasper and the Strike the same or do they have different sculps? I'll get the PG Aile someday but I want to paint my PG Strike's pilot as Mwu (unless the sculp that comes with the PG Sky Grasper resembles him more).

I kinda regret not getting it instead of the normal Strike. The pinks aren't as dumb looking as in the anime, plus the inner frame looks like it has a lighter tone to it and that royal thingy sticker in the chest looks really sweet. The Sky Grasper also has different tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I don't think they can do much to Zeta's look. This release will probably throw in improvements from the OYW series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 They probably improved the joints system to make it more stable. Like the Mk. II they'll probably adopt some areas from the PG especially in locking parts. Sculpt-wise I always thought the MG looked nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamen0083 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It'll be a scale up of the HGUC Zeta and stuck on a Zetaplus frame. I hate the anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) I wonder, since the MG MK II 2.0 is somewhat a scaled down version of the PG MK II kit, do you think that the Zeta 2.0 may be the same way (scaled down PG Zeta)? chris Edited October 3, 2005 by zeo-mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamen0083 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Always a possibility. More likely than the HGUC scaled up, I hope. The MG Pegasus Gundam was a scaled down PG, the Mk-II 2.0 is a scaled down PG, and so the Zeta 2.0 is likely a scaled down PG. Using the Zetaplus frame or something like that, I'll bet.

Anubis Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Nu Gundam, Sazabi, Kampfer, Freedom are all great MG kits. The G Gundam kits are real well done too. Super posable. Anyone built the Master Grade Re-GZ kit? I just got the MSiA just so I could have one for the Amuro/Char collection, my first MSiA, and I don't really like the plastic quality. How is the MG Re-GZ in terms of posability and stability? Here's my current Amuro/Char collection. The Gelgoog and Zeong are Ultimate Operation figures, which are pretty good placeholders until HCM Pros come out (if they do). The PG Char's Zaku is on the shelf above with the AUEG stuff. If amazon does a sale on the RX-78 I'll get one of those too. If I'm not mistaken, all I need now is a Dijeh. I think I got everything else they piloted.

The MG Re-GZ is much more stable than Zeta, for sure. The simpler transformation definitely is a bright point. Posability? Not much compared to the stuff now. It's got a standard amount of articulation. The biggest problems will come when you attach the BWS. The legs are on a special hip joint that repositions for the BWS. You may have some problems there. Another thing is the antennas. They are flexible, but not that flexible. Use caution on those when attaching the BWS. You are provided with extras thankfully, but it's best to just be careful. Since it does transform, even if it is just a little bit, that's the source of the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks, those are exactly the pics I needed, especially the size comparison shot. Not bad, the MG sculpt is really nice. Even has a little stand for the BWS. I may consider getting one. Not right now though. I'd rather have a Fix Figuration though personally, but for now at least the MSiA works.

Loner Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Gunota has more information on the Zeta 2.0 Plamo info updatePics from Hobbynet: MG Z Gundam Ver. 2.0 HGUC Hazel High Mobility Type (temporary name) Details from Hobbyworld on the new MG Zeta: the revision will take into account the PG Zeta and the MG Zeta Plus' transforming gimmick. The joint construction in MS mode has been gone over and things like a revolving hip pivot were added. In waverider mode, you can make a display with an included sliding catapult base, which can also be linked together with the catapult display from the Mk II 2.0 kit. Hyper mega launcher, rifle, shield, grenade launcher, and other armaments come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 A 2.0 Zeta better have a very much redesigned transformation or I'm not gonna touch it. The ReGZ was a great kit, I wish I took it more seriously and not have screwed it up like I did and give it a bad coat of paint. But I do love how well it was designed.
