It was before before Glory and Frozen existed.

Before then Early Types and Ver Ka's were one in the same.

With Glory Wing underwent a rebranding with Endless Waltz becoming a overall Brand.

Early Types/Ver Ka's became EW types and then you had all of the branding just carry forward with EW being added on so it looks like this.

Wing/Shenlong/Deathscythe/Sandrock/Heany Arms EW.

Wing Zero EW, D Hell EW, Sandrock Kai (Custom) EW, H Arms Kai (custom) EW, Altron EW.

Zero also no longer carries the Custom moniker. A side note is Altron didn't under go a name change as it was never actually called Nataku.

Bandai has always had a hard time placing EW VS TV.

With EW showing the final TV fight but using Zero EW it's always caused massive continuity issues because both Zero EW and Zero TV clearly weren't both in use so they've gone back and forth over what was canon because Endless and it's designs are so much more popular then TV.

It wasn't until Glory and Frozen where they just made one stream lined continuity for the "majortiy" of Wing Content.

I wasn't super into the MG Heavyarms until I saw they put the mask in there with it.

Maaaaaan. I kind of want it now. I probably won't get it, but I'll think about it.

I'm looking for a second kit to build, and I'm not sure what I want to go for.
I mainly have my eye on either the MG Ver 2 Char's Zaku II or Gelgoog, or maybe something like a Rick Dom, GM, or Qubeley, but I'm not sure. I was also looking at what I think was called a Kimaris (it was like white and lilac and has a bigass lance), but even though it was a 1/100 kit it didn't mention it being a Master Grade; what's the deal with this?

How big is Char's Gelgoog compared to more standard sized MG kits, and is it fairly posable?

Final dumb question- say I wanted to paint some of a Gundam's inner frame, or like the bottom of its feet (basically painting small details), how do I go about doing that?

Not sure there is a point to painting the frame? Its rarely visible. Seems like a waste of paint to me

-The Gelgoog is a bit larger than the average MG kit but is still pretty possable

-The MG Qubeley and Dom are pretty old kits so I'm not sure how well they hold now.

-Kimaris is a non-grade 1/100, they're pretty common to see whenever a new show launches. They're not as good as MGs and lack the detail and inner frame but most modern ones are fine.

Some parts of it are still exposed, though.

Chars zaku 2nisnjust about an amazing kit and quabley is huge as fuck. Quabley is an older kit so lots of pc parts. As long as you don't plan on doing a lot of dynamic movements it will last

I'm so getting that HG Revive Strike Freedom. Hopefully they won't have to use a lot of stickers. And I guess it might be a bit easier to deal with the gold with this one? Because I've heard some real horror stories about painting the RG's inner frame...

Anyhow, pretty excited for it, definitely grabbing it come november! And the RG Build Strike is also great news, loved the kit but the MG was too expensive for me, this seems like a perfect balance.

The SEED fan in me is happy, clearly, lol.

I finally understand how some of you feel when your favorite mobile suit gets an RG. It's just right.

I'll probably try to get every version of the Build Strike RG that's released. lol
At least there's international shipping from P-Bandai to make it easier.

P Bandai wise? I can see Avalanche easily along with Snow White and Black Zero.

I'd be annoyed as fuck if it's Transient next.

So far we only have UC, CE, AD, and AC in RG form. I just didn't think it'd go meta with Build till we had FC and maybe even IBO out of the new stuff first.

I think I'm discovering that I'm more of a Federation grunt suit guy versus a Zeon one; I'm really into the new GM and Guncannon. The Revive Strike Freedom looks really nice, and the Build Strike will probably be my second RG after the Sinanju.

I'd kill for an Epyon White. I think that's the only FT design I'd buy.

I love me some Zakus and Goufs, but I don't really care for a lot of the other Zeon suits over the years, but something about the simple design and the constant evolution of the reliable old Jim and its variants really speaks to me.

yea thanks for the link. pre-ordered it

but what is the point of metal frames
Click to expand...
Metal Builds?

They are very high end figures. The of the Fewture Artstorm Getters or other expensive Chicogin. You don't build these they come most assembled aside from back packs and weapons.

And it is indeed sexy David, totally worth the couch time, I'm only passed because th weapon pack is worthless and the only thing Blue needs and should have is the Tactical Arms.

oops yea,

I like the way it looks compared to the regular blue frame kits. Also I am glad Amazon does pre-orders on a lot of Japanese stuff like Chogokin Voltron

This was one of my favorite battles because of both Kira and Athruns feelings being on display and then Athrun having to battle his soft spot for Kira but also the Nicol event. I wonder if he truly though he could kill Kira.

I also love it cause awesome Dearka gets on the Archangel.

At least I feel these are the main ones.

I can definitely see myself building an shenlong and epyon

Edit:

you got to be kidding me. They want 92 bucks plus shipping for the MG heavy arms -_______-. And of course it is going to sell out quick.

That is going to be even harder to get then Altron and TG 2/3 combined.

Epyon is good easily best Wing MG and in my top 5 gunpla ever.

This is why I bitch about P-Bandai, being a US resident. Have to pay ridiculous prices for the exclusive shit.

EDIT: RG Build Strike, oh my.

Calling it now, P-Bandai expansion is the Universe Booster and plavsky effect parts.

Was considering picking up the HG G-Self and its Space backpack this paycheck, but I think I'll cave on the RG Sinanju.

Being that the red plastic is gloss I'll probably forgo panel lining.
