well, it looks like I'll be ordering the Metal Build Freedom aswell as pre-ordering the Metal Build Destiny :3.

I finally decided to get into the Robot Damashii Gundam line, and of course MS Shenlong is a web exclusive and sold out everywhere. lol. Why do I always overlook things until it's too late. I'm mainly into Gunpla, but with the lack of kits for MS' like Ares, Leo, Vayeate, TV Gundams, etc I decided to get into the Damashii stuff. I haven't gotten my first one in the mail yet, but they look to stack up pretty well to an unpainted kit.

Chunky Zeon love, those designs are great.

Glad to hear that, the RD's are awesome.

Yeah, the Robot Damashii figures look awesome. I held off getting into them for awhile because I've always been into Gunpla, but it's just too tough to keep up with all of the kits. My backlog got too big... time to find more ways to enjoy Gundam, lol.

I scored a RD Tallgeese II & Wing Zero EW this morning for a great price. Got in a PO last night with Nippon-Yasan for the Mercury and Vayeate, and I'm slowly catching up on the others. I'm sure I'll get a Shenlong for a decent secondary market price soon. I have some the recent MG EW kits so it's nice to get some more TV accurate Wing MS in high quality figures. There's not too much overlap between the kits and figures for me, I think I'll collect and enjoy both.

The RD releases aren't bad at all. Practically the only way to get some suits in [close enough to] 1/144 scale. Like you, my gateway is the TV Wing suits. I opted for vanilla Tallgeese and Epyon. That quality of the Tallgeese sold me, and now have Wing Zero (tv) on the way.

The base Tallgeese is my favorite, so I'll pick that one up soon. I'm glad to hear it's that good. I'm a really big fan of the recent MG 1/100 Tallgeese kit, but from the pictures I can see the RD release looks pretty awesome as well. The TV Wing suits (& grunts) are the gateway into this line for me too, otherwise I probably would have stuck with the model kits. Though I am really excited about the upcoming HG Wing Gundam model.

I haven't picked up the MG Tall geese. I want it something fierce though. Maybe for December, with the Sazabi ver Ka. The Tall geese is one of my favorite designs in all of the fictions and glad to see it get some love lately.

As for the HG Wing, they had me at its announcement. I was wondering when they would get around to it.

I hope that unlike Gundam X & G Gundam, we actually get a diverse set of HG Wing kits. That's another reason I decided to get into RD figures, there are more suits to choose from from the same anime than you usually get with HG kits. I love MG, especially lately, but I find I enjoy HG kits more than anything these last few years. The MG Tallgeese is an exceptional, both the I and II kits are great.

well Bandai-Hobby made the HGAC Wing Gundam, so it might be possible for a TV version of the other four in HG 1/144 format sometime in the near future :D.

Wasn't wing far more popular than G? Definitely more so than X at least.grumble, grumble rassafrassin
