I have built RG Skygrasper, Strike and Destiny, and still have Freedom to do. I also bought RG RX-78 but have decided to sell it in favor of getting MG v3.

They're all quite good. Skygrasper is freaking awesome, though there are a few parts that don't feel like they're attached as firmly as I would like, but a bit of superglue should fix that up. Same with Strike and Destiny, there are a couple of pieces here or there that may require some gluing, but overall, they're pretty great. I really enjoyed building them, and I think they look really fantastic. I'd recommend those three, at least, to anybody.

I'd also recommend Metal Build Exia, it is a think of hefty beauty. The joints are very snug (honestly, it can be a slight pain to pose, because the joints are tight, but it stays where you tell it to go), super detailed, beautiful paint and I love it.

I have a sick desire to buy two more of it and Exia Repair so I can display all four modes at once.

In fact, this one is missing the yellow fins on the neck, so I ordered a replacement from Amazon, but since I had Amazon points to redeem, I got $15 off it, I'm half tempted to keep it for Repair III mode instead of returning it for a refund.

Somebody should probably talk some sense into me.

Don't wright off RGs yet!. Zeta was absolutely the worst RG I've built! Start with the MK II or the newer GPX ones.

The RG kits are a bit more fragile because of all of the small parts, but the RG Zeta is an excellent kit. It's really the best sculpt of Zeta yet, at least the head sculpt. I can't believe Bandai did a RD ZZ before Zeta..

So I have five RD figures in hand now, and they definitely are better in hand than in pictures. The quality of the paint and plastic don't seem to come across as well in pictures as they really are. I'd like to see some more Wing EW designs in the RD line, both from the manga and the movie. I'm too involved with world building now with the RD figures, and I can't see Bandai doing a MG Serpent kit but could see a RD figure happening.

Also, has there been any concrete info on the RD Wing Gundam (TV version) yet? I'm planning on getting the new HG kit.. but want the RD that was shown recently as well.

Does anyone know where i can find Gundam 00 dubbed, because I just finished Wing. Wing was mediocre but had a good ending.

There are torrents.

New images from the upcoming Build Fighters kits:

Wing Gundam Fenice - Here
Bearguy III - Here
Sengoku Gundam Astray - Here
Build Gundam Mk-II - Here

My favorite continues to be the fenice that not feeling awesome enough, decided to add a beam rapier and cape to his repertoire and a vehicle to make up for his lack of transformation.

I really like the Sengoku Gundam Astray.

By the way, the fire effect used in this pictorial review of RD Gundam Shenlong, does anyone know where that's from? It's looks like it's from SHF release.

I'm really glad I tracked this guy down, even though it cost me a bit more than I would have liked, lol.

ryan · 09-23-2013, 02:31 PM

Pretty sure that fire effect is from the SHF Fourze Effects set.

this one

Awesome, thanks Ryan. Of course it's limited. :/
