When I saw the other thread about M.B. and Gundam I thought that for some insane reason they were going to do an American movie. When I thought that my heart sank.

Zeta Gundam is awesome.

That is all.

Yep.

Needs more guns.

If Hollywood ever did a proper Gundam live action movie, where the hell would they start at? They could adapt the original if they want to start the original. Wing and G Gundam are popular with casual American fans, so they could try to adapt those two. Or they could do their own original story, but I think most fans won't like that.

No, no.

If they were gonna adapt Gundam into live action movies, they would all be Wing based. Even if they got into having 5 or 6 movies, and spreading the content very thin they would still be Wing based because that's what sells. I base this mostly on the fat that the Transformers movies still have a G1 hard-on 4 (soon to be 5) installments in.

If they adapted the original, they really do need a kid to play Amuro. An actual 14-16 year old to play him and someone around the age of 20 to play Char. Because that part of the story is crucial, that they're so young. To slap a 30 year old in there would honestly destroy it if they were going that route.

I honestly think that 00 could be a safe bet for adaptation. A fair amount of source material to pull from if you're only doing 1 movie, easy sequel potential, you can age some of the characters a bit and not affect the story, great fight scenes and they can get a lot of nobodies to fill the roles.

So you could theoretically make a full sized bike if you have enough parts hmmm.....

Surprisingly I'm not too keen on 0079 but I love Zeta.*7 eps in btw*

The MK II has quickly reaffirmed it's place as my favorite Gundam.*still think the Titans colors look cooler though*

I got HG Wing Gundam Zero Honoo today.

0079 is kinda all over the place, and some of the filler episodes are pretty rough to sit through...

I'm not too keen on 0079 either. Origin has been changing my mind on that, but that's mainly due to the cool backstory stuff.

MK II is pretty great. Defintley benefits from the much better artstyle Zeta has compared to 0079.

When did they make Samurai Trooper SD Gundams and why was I not informed.

I don't hate 0079 though it's not on my list of favorites.

Now I'm even happier that the Build MK II exists.

What? you gotta admit that navy on black is sexy:

I'm pretty meh on 0079 and Zeta as far as the shows go. Zeta though is when the designs started getting killer.

It really does. Especially when used on the Quel and Hazel.

*sigh* Really wish the "Titans Colors" had been more consistent through the series.

Zeta was the first Gundam show that I watched subbed. I would like to rewatch it one day and see how well it holds up.

I was 50/50 on whether or not I'd get the Barbatos. I like the design, but like most have said on here on an HG kit how sturdy will the waist be. It had me worried.

Then I saw this and all my troubles flew away....

Magnificent.

So, I've recently picked up two Gundam figures, Metal Build Avalanche Exia arrived last week, and Metal Composite Gundam The Origin.

So far, they're fantastic, especially RX-78. More pics to come.

i all ways want a really good rx78 kit

If that's what you're looking for, I strongly recommed the RX-78-2 revive ver. It's insanely poseable, very show-actuate, and dirt cheap.

I second this. Just looking at the manual on Hobby Search shows him to be a pretty sturdy and great kit. Plan on picking one up soon.

Mine will be shipping as soon as the RG Astray comes in stock.

io9 just posted a guide to Gundam if anybody is interested in reading it!

http://io9.com/the-io9-guide-to-gund...full+%28io9%29

I'm currently building the MG Gundam Ver 3.0, and i really like it. But I think I'll probably also end up getting the ver 2.0, on account of being more anime accurate.

But for $130-$150, the Metal Composite Gundam is AMAAAAAZING and totally worth it, in my opinion.

The RG RX78 is pretty good, though a bit problematic.

Barnes and Noble are having a 25-30% off gunpla sale if anyone is interested. Saw this on the USA gunpla twitter.

If they are I saw no mention of it when I was there today. Besides, even if there was mine has nothing worthwhile outside of a few MGs I can't really display well due to space.

Does anyone have any opinions on G-Saviour? I remember seeing it on TV over 10 years ago and I remember it being enjoyable for how cheesy the bad acting was. For a movie that pre-dates the first Transformers live action movie by 6 or 7 years ago, the CG for the Gundams look decent for a TV movie. They look better then the zords did in the 1995 MMPR movie did.

I guess the movie can be watch the same way as the 1994 Street Fighter movie, as a guilty pleasure.

Never seen G-saviour and I never will.

I enjoyed also I think lead ended up voicing in a Gundam season can't remember witch one. I watched on you tube

Never saw it, but I've never heard anything good about it either.

Well it can be also be a movie if you want to riff on with a group of friends on a bad movie night. The movie was pretty much ahead of it's time.

Just finished building HGUC F91 and I must say, he is fantastic. Great and flowing build process, he kicks butt as a figure, and his gimmicks are executed so well. Honestly I'd say he's probably my second favorite kit I've built next to Fenice.

I will say I hate though how none of the other 91 suits have more recent HG kits.

HG F91 is nice, though a bit on the small size compared to other kits. Which reminds me, I still need to paint mine into the F91 Imagine...

I'm interested in Gundam X. But I'm not sure if the series is good or not. Should I get the DVD set and go in blind, or watch episode 1 on the down lows and donate the boxset to my library if I don't like it?

Gundam X is the definition of underrated. It is by far one of if not the best Gundam shows I have ever seen. Watch it, watch it immediately. If you don't want to invest the money at the risk of not liking it, the whole show is up on Youtube subtitled. Fan/boot subs mind you but they get the job done.

Seriously, go, watch it, now.

Gundam X Is easily one of my favrioute series, you should be fine going in blind.

X is a lot of fun.

Gundam X probably has my favrioute line of any Gundam series.

It's the scene where Garrod tries to activate the Gundam and says "If this works, I'll believe in god!"
