Gundam 00 The Movie Latest Trailer 1:48

Feldt looks like a babe... I can't wait for this movie!

honestly, i don't like Feldt's haircut, but that's just me.

What Marina is doing in space I'm not sure. Doesn't she have a ocuntry to run/rebuild? In 2 years, Adzakistan could not have fully recovered, even with Federation help. But definately she and Setsuna will have one final meeting.

Finally we'll get to see Setsuna and Graham confront each other face to face. I know they crossed paths once before in season 1 but Graham didn't know for sure that the boy was the Exia's pilot, only having a hunch.

I wonder if Louise is having a relapse with the GN poisoning because I thought she was cured of it by the effects of the 00 Raiser.

Teria is definately a hologram, though it could be that his hologram can simulate a hologram under the laws physics, thus why Teria would look like he was actually there.

I do hope we elarn how the Innovators came to be. We know that they were born form Veda, but even Veda would need need to have DNA to work from.

My guess is the group of Innovators born form Veda are the blueprint meant to guide humanity though Ribbons developed a god complex and hi-jacked the whole thing, the Trinity Siblings were likely an attempt to breed Innovators through artificial means (which resulted in side effects), and Setsuna is the first successful natural Innovator.

I'm just glad Feldt's character is still alive. Half the women in Gundam 00 S1/S2 went psycho or got killed off.

It's probably her regeneration therapy, notice how her hand is back? Though it only took Ali four or five years for his entire body to complete regeneration therapy, so I figure a single hand would take much less than two years. On the other hand (Oh God that was a pun, I am so sorry), Ali was nearly superhuman.

Of course he's a hologram, that was one of the first things they revealed about the movie.

Innovades. My best guess is that they used various DNA samples, slightly altered, and grew them in tanks. In fact, I seem to remember seeing an image of something like that.

Innovades are essentially concept art, showing off what a real Innovator would be like, and thus make people open to the concept of becoming one. I don't think the Trinitys were Innovades or Innovators, even though Nena could interface with Veda, Ribbons proved he could give ANYONE the ability to do so, because Louise was shown the the Crazy Glowy Eyes as well.

Marie, Louise, Feldt, Sumeragi, Marina, Shirin, Kati, and Mileina all made it out okay. Only a few of the women died and stayed that way.

Unicorn's been subbed.

In the cruel Irony that is online shopping. A couple days after I place my order for the astray blue frame my LHS gets one in. Oh well, I saved 10 bucks.

Looking to order a few more kits(stocking up until the weather gets nice enough for me to paint)

any recommendations out of these? I hope to purchase them all eventually, but if some are better or are more likely to sell out I will buy them first.

all MG's

Crossbone full cloth
unicorn screen ed.
Strike Freedom
Hi-nu
Zero custom
Red Frame Astray-already have the PG but will probably pick this up also...for some reason I love the astrays.

Thank you so much! I was starting to get bored, this is perfect...also, I didn't know Unicorn had started airing...

EDIT: They keep mentioning "The end of CE" Methinks someone didn't care for SEED...

I think you can tell how much I like this series.

Blurrz wrote:I think you can tell how much I like this series.

Oh but it was impressive. It turns out I really missed the aesthetic of UC technology. Although, they mentioned Bright Noa, and I kept expecting to see him, even moreso after the Nahel Argama showed up. And he never did. No one really deserved it, but why pass up on a free Brightslap?

But now Zeta has yet another contender for Best Gundam Series Ever.

I would definately recommend the Strike Freedom though I would advise putting some time into painting it, particularly the gold parts if you aren't getting the more expensive Edition. I thought of it as a nice improvement over the original Freedom. Some people don't like it because they see it as overkill in Destiny. In a way they're right but it shouldn't take away from a perfectly good model.

Hi-Nu is another I'd recommend. It's quite possibly the biggest 1/100 MG currently out there in terms of parts. When I saw it I passed on it a few times at AWA one year though something was itching me to get it. I remember seeing the images of it online and eventually caved. I saved it for last out of the Model haul I got there. Definately worth the time I put into it. Just make sure you have a big enough shelf for the base if you intend to display it using that with the funnels.

MG Wing Zero is basically what the HG one should have been. I liked it fine but I'd leave it up to you. Not everyone likes it.

Unicorn is one of the ones I'd edging towards getting next. It looks interesting.

Nice, now I can rewatch episode 1 of Gundam Unicorn with subs. It's so great to return to UC and episode 1 of GU hit it out of the ballpark for me.

I can't wait to see the 00 movie, the footage is looking better and better.

Some delicious news from Ngee Khiong...

MG Wing Gundam


1/144 HG Astraea Type-F


1/144 HG Exia Avalanche

MG Wing Gundam?

How many years overdue is this one?

Roadbuster wrote:MG Wing Gundam?

Well there's the early MG version. I guess this is the more show accurate one.

I finished 1/144 Garazzo, Seravee and SD 00. They're both fantastic kits.. I'll take pictures later. I'm heading back to Richmond again in March... I better make room in my luggage for all the kits I'm going to take back!

Roadbuster wrote:MG Wing Gundam?

Yeah, as Blurrz said, the first MG Wing Gundam is the Ver. Ka rather than a show accurate design. I actually like the show version more than the Ver. Ka.

I can't wait to see photos of those models, Blurrz. Especially the SD 00.

From what I've read, that is what Wing Gundam would have looked like in EW had they managed to fit it in during the flashbacks.

EW was a great movie. Let's hope 00 tops it.

A 1/35 Gundam.... I want.

Hmm, the 1/35 Ex-S Gundam Ver. 2.0 looks like it's a steal at $1,695 considering the first version was priced at $2,252. If it's accurate in scale, the Ex-S Ver. 2.0 should end up being 24.4 inches tall overall!

Actually, I'd like to have the 1/60 Gerbera Tetra instead. It's still expensive but it's one of the cheaper G-System Shop kits.

If the site that article linked to is at all accurate, than the first version was 45 inches tall, or about 3'9", give or take. That is a hella tall toy.

Hmm... pretty badass. So what's everyone's plans on the Unicorn Model Kits? I'm thinking I'll collect every single one released for the first episode. I know the 2nd episode will have it's own kits and so forth till the final 5th episode.

Blurrz wrote:So what's everyone's plans on the Unicorn Model Kits?

Honestly, I am so backed up on kits and projects right now that I will probably just buy the screen version of the unicorn.

That will change I'm sure.

Yeah.. that Screen Version looks pretty slick. And sorry for avoiding the post you had earlier..

CrossBone, and Hi-Nu are fantastic figures. You can't go wrong.

Zero Custom and Strike Freedom. They're great and worth every penny, but my problem is that the wings have a tendency to end up being weak pieces of junk after a couple of years.

Red Frame Astray - It's the figure of the gods... I think it's an MS everyone can enjoy at any scale.

I plan on getting most of the Unicorn model kits. The ones I'll skip are things like alternate finishes, which I don't see the point in since I plan on fully painting all of my models.

I'm going for the HGUC kits first and then the MGs. So far, I have the RX-0 in Unicorn and Destroy modes, Jegan, and Geara Zulu. The Loto twin set is on its way. I still need to get the Kshatriya, Stark Jegan, and both ReZel types. I'm hoping we get some news on the Sinanju in HGUC form in the next couple of months. The EWAC Zack hasn't shown up yet but apparently it is in the light novel series and I like Zaku variations so I'll get that as well since it's available in the HGUC line. I hope MS designs like the Jesta and Delta Plus show up in the Gundam Unicorn OVA series and then get put into one of the model lines. I also hope we see some Zulu variations.

For MGs, I'd like to get the OVA version of the RX-0 with the cage accessory and the Sinanju Ver. Ka. I've heard people report issues with the RX-0's parts with respect to transforming between modes so I think I may leave it in Unicorn mode as I like that look more than the Destroy mode.

This will be tough as I'm into Transformers(obviously) as well as other collectibles like Revoltech figures and S.H. Figuarts, as well as other model kits. Oh, there's also these annoying things called "bills" that I have to pay every month...

Some reviews from dalong.. MG Red Astray looks like a budding masterpiece. I'll have to pick it up. Can't wait to get MG Trans-AM Exia!
