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:
