Hold up, those yellow bits are plastic? I always assumed they were stickers.

No those are stickers, they're just more thicker and better than your average foil bandai stickers.

HGBF Super Fumina!!

What in the name of hell...

My sentiments exactly.

I wonder if it'll have alternate faces?

EDIT: They also announced the MG RX-78-2 Origin ver. Apparently it'll be a retail release. The MG Nataku that was revealed a while back was at the same convention displayed with the P-Bandai kits, suggesting that it'll be a exclusive. Because you know, that makes fucking sense.

You know, that looks very interesting. I'm not really a Gundam fan, but I am intrigued by the setting, and I look forward to seeing what they'll have.

I wonder if we'll get other super versions. If they made a really teched out soldier version of Yuuma I'd probably buy it.

All of my yes. The character designs look absolutley fantastic and I cannot see how everyone interacts with each other. I'm digging those Gjallerhorn uniforms as well.McGillis and Galeio give me a Char/Garma vibe.

So beautiful~

Finally!

Denial Gundam!

his upper torso can pop off easily, and his feet aren't big enough to give him that all around stable movement, and there is really no wide ankle movement. Also his effect parts are more soft plastic than hard like the previous Build/Try Burning Gundam.

It's more or less that Bandai spoiled us with the Build/Try Burning Technology, and you expected it to be in the Denial, which is cooler and essentially the dark version of Build Burning. So I can say, if I didn't own the Burning Gundams before, Denial in this day in age is a good kit for sure.

So it turns out Super Fumina isn't the first time they've done a model kit of a human Gundam mix. The record goes to an obscure 30 year old model kit of Emma Sheen with some Gundam MK 2 armor.

I remember that kit. Talk about memories.

I'm reminded of the old Mobile Suit Girls illustrations.

That's not Emma.

Emma's not 10.

That's what it's an homage to.

Look, if we could just get a full line of kits like those and they have Christine as the NT-1, I'd be in.

It amazes me that they haven't done that, as it makes more sense than any of the others. Gundam + female pilot that actually piloted said Gundam > Gundam + generic random anime chick (yes I know Emma piloted the Mk II sometimes, I'm more talking about the MSG like in general).

IT's definietly not the first time Bandai's done something like this, I mean hasn't anyone seen the AGP line?

Hell, the MSG at least looked SOMEWHAT like Christine, or at least homaged her.

The resemblance is barely there, though. Such a shame.

It's a closer resemblance than most. Again, ate least the hair color is consistent.

Looks more like Ranma or Asuka from Evangelion to me.

Okay, I'm flat out drooling now over these commander suits for Iron blooded Orphans.

... Those feet are awful.

Y'know outside of super robots I don't really get high-heels on mecha.

Most women will tell you walking in these things are a bitch due to pain and balance issues.

Isn't that generally what you'd want to avoid in something built for combat?

Cathedral Gundam looks awesome

http://hobbynotoriko.yumenogotoshi.c...cathedral.html

The heels are fine. The back soles are large enough to where there's enough stability.

They just remind me of Cyborg Raiden's feet, which Raiden uses as a second pair of hands.

Plus, Samurai Jack proved high heels can be super badass.

Finally got my MG Build Strike review up:

So there's two new Gouf HGs coming out. One is just a brown recolor labeled as a Prototype Gouf.

Aren't both of those Prototypes? I thought we've seen the blue one before.

Yes. The brown one is just in the colors of the old MSV kit, while the blue one is show/manga accurate.

Makes me glad I don't own any RX78s in 1/100 scale yet, this guy looks great.

Not necessarily related to Gundam, but I have been playing a ton of Galak Z on PS4. It's a great Space shooter rogue-like with an aesthetic similar to 80s anime and 0079. Plus it has a super badass prototype mech in it. It's better then all of the Gundam games that have come out here recently, so check it out.

What is the difference between Gundam The Origin and the original Gundam series? I don't exactly follow any anime series as much as the gunpla stuff. lol.


In terms of Gunpla, I present the Transient Gundam!

As far as I know, Gundam Origin is told through Char's perspective. So you'll be seeing a lot his younger days.

It's basically a modernized retelling, some technology changes, a few differences in characterization, that kind of stuff, think regular Marvel vs Ultimate Marvel.

The OVAs seem to be focusing on the OYW backstory so far though.

Gundam The Origin the manga is a retelling of the original series with more backstory for the characters. Gundam The Origin the OVA adapts parts of the manga, but isn't intended to be a substitute for the original site like the manga was. Both the manga and the OVA feature more detailed redesigns for all the MS, hence all the new kits we've been getting.

Nice Transient, BTW.
