2.I been out of the gunpla business for many years. The last kit I built was the HG Wing custom from Gundam wing. How has the quality of the builds improved?

Dramatically. There's no comparing them, the modern HGs are far any away superior to the Wing era kits.

At NYCC I was talking to the bandai rep about the RG stuff. Looks good but I want to know is it enough to justify the pricetag?

Thanks.

They can be if you like them. They're essentially 1/144 scale MGs, but the inner frames are partially assembled on the sprue (and no, I have no idea what witchcraft makes that possible), and the armor shifts around slightly when you move the joints. The only problem with them is that thier complexity makes them fragile (I wasn't exaggerating when I compared them to MGs, they're literally just as complex), so you have to treat them like glass in order to not break anything. But I think they're neat; they're a good, cheaper alternative to MGs, even if they don't have the widest selection.

EDIT: Got distracted answering questions, forgot why I came here in the first place. I've been watching Seed Destiny as I've mentioned before, and I now feel compelled to own all the Zaku variants in the show, regardless of how sub-par the Seed kits are. Noteworthy because I don't usually feel this way about grunt suits. Heck, I used to hate Zakus in general, but Destiny made them awesome.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Love this kit. The swing-out shoulder articulation is fantastic, as are all the effect parts.

[Shin Henshin]

Wow, it comes with more effects than I thought...I can't wait to build my own.

[Kiryu]

Doven Wolf finally done!



You can probably tell that I accidently broke one of the atennna on the head…I glued it back in okay but something to look out for if you're interested in getting this kit.

But yeah, I love that it just towers over most high grades, also love how big and beefy this thing is. Also trying out my Iphone's camera for the first time.

Got into Build Fighters, second Gundam exposure after Reconguista and first that I'm actively sticking to. Never realised it could be so much fun! Love that theme song.

Seems like the perfect series for non-Gundam fans like me to get a bit of exposure.

The guy who wrote Build Fighters also wrote 00 so I recommend you watch that after BF.

Also ordered my Seraphim from amazon. Should be here sometime before the end of the year lol

"Sister, what should I wear on a date?"

[Kiryu]

Sekai's sister is awesome

And SDs really do look great in this show.

[Den-O]

The show makes SD's look incredible in a way the kits never do for me.

Yet another awesome episode by the way, the slice of life humor is what Build Fighters has always gotten perfectly and this episode continued that trend.
