THE FUCKING UPSIDE DOWN A DOESNT COUNT AS A LOT OF DETAIL! its like, less than 5% oh the entire head! it's like, 2%!

I don't care that you like it. it's cool that you do! I don't, and I've given reasons why I don't.

so please, show me the "immense detail" in the space which I mentioned AND ONLY THE SPACE I MENTIONED. because I'm apparently too stupid to understand it. :eyebrow

It and the back fin take up exactly the same space as the camera on any other given MS.

Also shite guy like calm down I didn't mean nothing personal.

I never mentioned immense detail.

But you're acting like there's none. Again, like I said, few can apparently operate outside extremes.

It probably didn't help that your last few posts in this thread make you look like a condescending prick.

:/ I mean at least I was able to avoid the petty name-calling. Anything you take away from my posts is on you.

I mean you guys are literally doing the exact same thing I am. For every point I make, you make a counterpoint. And vice-versa. I don't see why it was necesary to get mad when I didn't. Takes two to tango, afterall.

you know what Gundam design I like?

Shin Musha Gundam.

Yeah I saw those Musha Gundams in the TFW thread once they're pretty sweet. They remind me of Sengoku Astrya but a bit cleaner and even more samurai-ish.

Prefer the MK II myself.

the mk2 is nice as well.

I just like the first shin musha because of the red.

Well the MK II is my fave UC Gundam.;)

I like the colour distinction between the two. Shin is red and silvver, MkII's blue and gold. They look good together.

but... shin musha is red and gold...

Sengoku Astray is what I think a Samurai meets Gundam. Where as the Musha is a Gundam becomes the Samurai. Sengoku Astray has the perfect balance in my eyes.

How difficult of a build is MG Sengoku Astray for someone who has never built a MG?*but lots of HGs*

Has anyone here bought the Miss Sazabi HG? I need an Aila kit and much prefer it to the Quebeley.

I've built the normal MG Astray Kai, and it was my first MG. I had little to no trouble building it, but I should mention that I'm not a fan of the bicep and thigh swivels. They're just type 11 polycaps, and the arms tend to slide off the shoulder post instead of bending at the shoulder. It makes posing frustrating, but the kit itself is gorgeous.

I don't have one, but it seems kinda underwhelming for the price. It's a $25-35 kit depending on where you get it, but all it has going for it is bulk. The build is super basic, the articulation's poor, and the only standout accessory is the sword. It's better than the Quebley by a long shot, but it's still not that great.

If you've built a ton of HG's then MG's should be no sweat, the only difference is that it'll be a longer process.

As for the Sengoku Astray himself? I did not find him hard at all, he was a really fun build with not much to worry. The only problem you need to solve is super gluing his big red V-fin, because it is super for all MG Sengoku's.

That's a bit disappointing to hear, but it still being better than the Qubeley is still good enough for me.

Astray Kai is like that for you? My Sengoku is a like a solid brick, nothing is loose on him, and he's fun to play with from time to time.

I feel I can't like sengoku astray solely for the fact it comes from SEED. if it were in any other gundam series, I would enjoy it.

sengoku astray is from SEED right? Or is that Build fighters?

Sengoku Astray is from Build Fighters.

The Astray design is from SEED (technically), but the Sengoku variant is from BF.

And honestly, SEED Astray and the related titles are different enough from SEED and Destiny proper that you can easily enjoy them without having to think too much about the... issues with the main series. In fact they fill in quite a few holes, too.

Modern MG kits aren't really tough at all it's exactly like building an HG except there's way more runners.

speaking of Astray since were getting more Sub Build Fighters kits, I want this in MG.

I can't tell if I'm just tired or if there's actually so much going on in those designs that it's actually causing my eyes agony.

This is still hands down my favrioute custom Astray:

He looks sleek and nice, digging the dual-wield action going on.

That's much more pleasant to look at.

KAAAAAILLLLLAAAAAA.

It'd be a cool release.

I've built 15 HGs,5 LBXs and 1 Tomy Zoid.

Cool want the Sengoku cause he'll be right at home next to my Super Robots but the hg's a little small.

Gundam Wing is 20 years old now. Hard to believe it's that old of a show now. I remember when it came out in the US around 1998 or 1999. Gundam Wing help mecha anime more popular in the US in the late 90's.

I remember G Gundam came out after Wing in the US, despite coming before in Japan.

G Gundam was my Gundam show growing up. It had cooler characters and better action scenes. The 1979 original show got dubbed here too back in 2001 and I remember didn't do so well compare to Wing and G Gundam.

G Gundam was better animated and more cartoonish, which made being a dub easier I think. Even as a kid dubs were kinda obviously dubbed to me. Nobody really spoke normally because they had to fit dialogue into timeframes.

Every time I try to move an arm, it drops out of the polycap. It's because it doesn't have a flanged polycap/grooved post combo like the Blitz does.Skip to 9:17 to see what I'm talking about. It's especially annoying when trying to post it with the Tactical Arms.

Sengoku Astray is from BF. And BTW, the Astray manga is the only redeeming thing in the Cosmic Era. It doesn't really make SEED any better, but it is a much better side story that thankfully has little to do with the main show.


Yes. All the yes.

If I recall, 0079 is actually what killed gundam over here. Nobody wanted to see a crappily animated series from the 70s right after Wing, and I don't blame them.

Well the original Dragon Ball from 1986-1988 did well on Toonami despite being over 15 years old when it aired on Toonami. I think Gundam '79 was poorly market in the US compare to Wing and G Gundam was from what I can remember.

From what I heard, there was also an over-saturation of gundam merch at the time.

Yet I could never find all five of the Wing Gundams in each form.

dude, what does Kiwami uynicorn look like when it's all closed up? D:
