Am I right in seeing MGs of all 5 Gundam Wing Gundams? If so, I'm a happy nerd! Those are my favorite designs and it will be time to start building again if I can put the cast on my shelf.


Sandrock + Heavyarms still need to be released. Plus, they released the Epyon.

Epyon! I love the Epyon! Just looked him up on dalong. I'll definitely need one of him.

You know... I normally can't stand GM suits. Always cannon fodder, always designed to make the gundam look cooler, but I gotta say, the RGM-96X Jesta just looks badass. This suit reminds me of a Spartan from Halo, probably because he looks a lot like the armor configuration I used on Noble 6 in Halo Reach. I want a Master Grade version. I want it now. I may even paint it in the same colors I use in Halo.

Haha, you could probably even switch off a McFarlane or a Play Arts Kai Spartan head if they made a MG Jesta.

check out this custom rx-78-2. I love the updated, badass look the modeler gave it. Very schway.

tell me someone also had this experience:

you find out your neighbor got a 1/100 scale sword strike gundam for practically NOTHING and his kid (below 5 years old) is more interested in the sprue trees than the actual model. they actually threw out the plamo parts and kept the trees. granted they didn't have the instruction manual and just took out the parts and didn't assemble it but what are your opinions on it?

Looks like someone mixed some Eureka Seven in with my Gundam.

Flit seems pretty lackluster, even for a modern Gundam protagonist, but the supporting cast seems nice. It's no Unicorn or Sentinel, but I'm excited to see what it brings. I hope it handles aliens better than the 00 movie did.

I dunno, I just can't stomach Gundam: Beyblade.

Looks like official add-ons.... bad-ass;

Truth be told, i'm more interested in all those 1/100 Leos being displayed in the Gundam Wing dioramas. I mean, a MG Leo would pretty much guarantee a MG Tallgeese unless bandai is being really, REALLY stupid.
