Gundam Jesus has a new MG and artwork to go with it.

Kira's got nothing on this.

Just finished watching ZZ, man oh man I felt like it was a waste of time and energy. Zeta was so much better.

Bright stopped caring and gave the kids Argama even after some of them turned on him. Wtf Bright!

Haman and Judia relationship or lack of sucked ... I knew first half was comic relief but the second half of the show sucked with unexpected deaths for no reason or build up and cope outs with Leina.

Zeta was awesome and this was just sad as the plot stood still for a long time.
 
I went out and got the MG Unicorn Full Armor! If looked so cool and huge and powerful and...

Bandai skimped out on coloring the fucking V-Fin?!
The right cheek part won't stop falling off, the shitty "transformable" V-Fin feels weak and wobbles around, and transforming this kit is a HUGE pain.
WHY IS THIS KIT RECOMMENDED AGAIN?

I'm surprised that After War: Gundam X, despite apparently being cut short, still had a satisfying ending.

On to Zeta.

What the hell happened to Graham?

No seriously, what the hell happened to Graham?

This entire Mr. Bushido thing feels bizarre and out of character for him, especially since he's still obsessed with the goal he fulfilled at the end of the last season (destroying a Gundam). And how is he even alive after his Flag got impaled? And why is he now wearing a stupid mask and costume?

He wears a dumb mask because 00 needed a Char and by god the writers were gonna give us one. I think that's probably the explanation for his attitude shift as well.

Also, don't ask questions about 00 Season 2. It really doesn't have answers for you. At least, it won't have answers that make sense/are fulfilling in any sense.

Picked up the Freedom Metal Build figurine, which is my first metal build. I am pretty impressed by it. Was never a huge fan of the Freedom, but having the MB in hand made me appreciate its design more than I thought it would.

Wanted to pick up the Destiny MB, but damn if it isn't expensive. Quick glances around have it selling for ~$500 everywhere I look.

So it turned out the girl who has purple hair and acts suspicious and looks just like an innovator is *gasp* an innovator!

....God this season sucks.

Looks like someone is learning the hard way about Transforming (not partsforming, but TRANSFORMING) gunpla.

No matter how well it's engineered, it's always a pain in the fucking ass. Tis the nature of transforming. Just pick one mode and stick with it!

This.

Also, I dunno if it was just mine, but the joints got really weak really fast. Not just on the Full Armor, but the original ver. Ka as well.

I like Seed. :(

It's OK, I do too.

Actually there isn't a single Gundam series I hate at all. Just a few that I think could have been better.

Come at me bros
 
I like Seed. :(

Hey man, SEED is my favorite. I got so much SEED gunpla.

Anybody bought the Ver Ka Sazabi? What's your opinion on it? I got the Ver Ka Nu and saying it's my best MG is an understatement, as I think even non-gunpla fans can admire its asymmetrical beauty, decals, and novel design.

I bought the SD Sazabi just on a whim and I'm a bit on a Sazabi kick right now.

Zeta Gundam has a funky as hell opening.

Captain Bright and Char are back!

Kamille's kinda a little shithead in comparison to Amuro. Still, at least they're trying to differentiate his character.
Friend of mine requested a certain fight diorama when he saw I had the RG Wing Zero.

I obliged.

Oh wow, that's awesome.

Dude, Zeta has two of my favorite Gundam OP's, regarding Kamille...he's got a lot of angst, he eventually gets straightened out and honestly in the long run I thought the plotting for Kamille was better than Amuro's. CCA knocked his character down a lot of notches in my opinion.

Good jo building it, but it needs inking and stickers!

One of the more distinct designs in the LBX series. It’s pretty obvious it was inspired by Zone of the Enders but that isn’t a bad thing.
Overall, it looks fantastic and fun to build but my biggest gripe with it is its use of stickers. It used too many and were pretty complex in shape and placement meaning if you mess up it’ll really bring down the final result.
Love the orange and black color scheme and the gold really makes it pop out.

Finally came up with a fix for the busted shoulder transformation thing on my PG Unicorn. One of the tiny armor plates that shift at the far edge of the shoulder sheered off the rod holding it. Sadly, gluing and pinning are both off the table due to the material and size of the part. What did work? Good old blue tak. Sticks the part in place and since it's not a load bearing joint, there's no issue. Well hidden inside the shoulder as well.

Reminded me just how damn near flawless PG Unicorn is. It's just a gorgeous suit with an amazing and fun transformation. Sure it takes forever to change modes, but it looks beautiful all around and doesn't feel fragile at all. Then you add in the lighting kit and it might be the most the best looking piece in my collection. Really makes Banshee Norn all that more tempting. Might have to figure a way to budget that in at the end of the year.

Jesus Christ, poor Kamille.

The worst part was that the man who pulled the trigger on Kamille's mother didn't even realize what he was doing.
 
God your workspace is awesome. I wonder what your nickname is over there.

Gundam.

Dang, I spy some Ashley Woods in there too.

I have a couple back in the states that I haven't brought over yet. Love the 3A stuff. Still back and forth or mini-rex, but we'll see.

What's with the American flag, then?

I am the token American of the company.

I know you love these things but I think your desk looks like a mess! Can't you like, remove a few of them?
Nah. I stay neat enough at my house and keep my fandom at work, lol.

Neo Sweden comes with the best character and best mobile suit.

What's the general consensus on Late-UC shows? I just finished UC with Unicorn and am thinking of moving onto F91 and Victory.

Good, but so unlike the earlier UC that some people consider them "separate" even though they are UC.

F91, Crossbone, etc. and then Victory, going on to post UC, G-Reco and Turn A, are so radically different in terms of suit design, technology, and Newtype theory. You should go for it if only for Crossbone cause Seabook/Kincaid is a boss.
