I can't build gunpla to save my life but is there a decent figure line that I could buy?
But it would be worse than Duckroll custom Exia.
PLEASE BE REAL WITH WATERSLIDES AND NO STICKERS.
SOMETHING AS GOOD AS HGUC KSHATRIYA PLEASE THE WORLD NEEDS A 1/100 KSHATRIYA (´；Д；`)
As long as you don't duckroll marathon anime while building and avoid the RG line you should be okay.

So what's the E tier scrub noob grade? HG?
I doubt it's anything. That's clearly a Jegan right next to it. I kind of doubt Bandai is making a RE, RG or MG Jegan. Screams fake to me.
HG, but you gotta find an HG that is pretty good.
Give us suits you like.
Alternatively you can start with MGs. Those aren't too bad. RG is suffering tho.
That a confirmed real image? A hell of a lineup if so. Seems bandai is using RE for villain and mook suits that won't sell enough for a MG.
So there we've got Kshatriya, Jegan, a GM/Jesta Derivative I know i recognize but I for some reason can't freaking remember the name of, two Zeon suits that I can't really recognize, XI, I have no clue, Leo, Gaia (Boy, that's a weird one) and Reborns.
In for the XI, Reborns and Leo at least. Might grab the Kshatriya depending on the quality and price.
Also, note that Planning doesn't necessarily mean it'll release. Remember the poor RG Ground Gundam that still hasn't seen the light of day.
EDIT:
I see the "candidate" written above them. Seems like Bandai might be just gauging interest for these guys. If that's the case, I kind of doubt we'll see a majority make it out.
Pretty much confirmed. Announcement at Japan Hobby Show that Bandai is gauging interest in the next RE100. Kshatriya is a candidate. Hopefully most of those get made, since it's a great lineup. Japan Hobby Show seems pretty good for news this year. We got full color photos of V2.
He looks amazing. This seems to pretty much confirm that the AB parts will come as a separate release, assuming they do them. Sad but expected. 100% must buy for me.
We also got this.
Can someone familiar with the Wing 1/144 line tell if those are the old kits done up really well? If not, I did not expect Bandai to have all the EW RGs up and running so soon.
Kshatriya is the most popular of the group so I think that one is a guarantee. Hopefully soon. I wouldn't mind just the 1/144 upscaled to 1/100 with some details and waterslides.
I was hoping that Kshatriya got an MG tho. Kshatriya is ridiculously popular but I guess the cost of making a new MG frame isn't worth it.
I just hope the RE1/100 doesn't suck. I don't mind not having a frame if that means that the binders are stable but I want it to at least get waterslides and extras that make up for Bandai skipping MG release.
Kshatriya deserves more. Better than Sinanju and Sazabi (｡◕ฺˇε ˇ◕ฺ｡）
looks like HG with modelled details. No way bannam could get RG for those that quick. Could they even share a frame?

Bandai has said that the problem with a MG Kshatriya is that the wings would literally need metal reinforcement on the joints if they did a full release with an inner frame. A RE100 was the only way that suit really could happen and release at a reasonable retail price.
They absolutely can share a frame. The MGs share a massive portion of their inner frame and when the RG Wing Zero EW was announced, they said the frame would be shared with the later releases.

Yeah, aside from the HGACs, those are the old 1/144 according to the visible name cards. Strange, you'd think they'd use the RG Zero EW but that's the old HG.
Though the front right one is interesting. Something about HG 1/144 Endless Waltz and a date of January 2016...
I thought screws would be viable like the ones on action base.
Screws can't be that expensive. Just screw and nut with a plastic cap to cover it.
It's not a deal breaker I'm just happy it is getting 1/100 scale.
other than proto zero I've never built the wing kits so I wasn't sure. More power to Wing fans i guess.
I just thought transformation gimmick in it would prevent frame sharing.
The cloak on the Deathscythe sort of gave me that impression. The proportions are a bit too wonky. Interested to see what the nameplate is about.
I think you underestimate the size/weight of those wing binders. They're pretty much bigger than the suit itself. It would be like putting a MG The O on an Action Base. You would pretty much have to build the jointing out of metal if you want to be able to pose the binders like the OVA shows them in action. Even at the RE100 level with hollow binders, I think it'll be a tricky task. Hopefully they build some locking mechanisms in. Didn't the 1/144 one have those?
As for the transforming Wing kits, those might actually have a substantially new frame. I honestly don't know. The only ones I know for sure share frames are the non-transformable EW stuff.
Hopefully we can do cocoon pose like in anime.
Master Gundam could have gotten cloak but it was impossible for MG. And Crossbones Kai was a brick.
The Kshatriya is clearly not a suit designed to work under gravity. I don't envy the engineers that have to figure out how to make that thing and come in at a reasonable budget. It's gonna be a hell of a task.

Kyrios, Zeta, TV Altron, Epyon, Quebeley, Aegis, Nu, Sazabi just to name a few. I'm really talking kits for dummies, if I have to sand or anything like that it's not happening.

I never really understand what is RE/100, is it a MG with less detail or something?
It's a 1/100 line that just focuses on the outer detail. No inner frame, and a bit less part separation. Means it's way cheaper, they can cheat on larger suits by making parts hollow and one piece and don't have to produce a new frame. It does lose some detail and possibility on the ones released so far are reliant on polycaps, which aren't really equipped to handle suits that size. Makes arial poses very hard to hold.
I thought MG Proto Zero was easy and straightforward. Maybe MG Epyon because the suits you list have lackluster HG.
The only other would be Aegis? Maybe. vas can talk about if that one is easy.
Sazabi ver Ka and Nu ver Ka should be for people who have medium experience to expert.

Thanks, that actually sound really attractive. I like the machine like inner-frame in MG and PG, but some of the kit really felt "over-engineered". You spent so much time building parts that you will never see unless you display it with damage or unarmored.
I been eyeing the Kshatriya resin kit for a long time, may be I will just wait for the RE/100. Someone will probably release a resin skin to put back some of the details.

What's a good noob suit for experience?
MG?
Wing Proto Zero
MG X
MG Strike Remaster
HG? All of them
RG? Zero or Destiny but none are recommended.

Out of that list the only one I would make would be proto zero. I thought some of the HG's were bad in quality? I thought Zeta was bad in particular.
Any MG in the last decade bar transformables (Proto-Zero is the exception, since the transformation is so straightforward) or Ver. Ka suits are good enough to start with. I'm really partial to the Double X, the CE stuff, or Turn X, but just pick a design you like. As for high grades, anything post SEED should be good. SEED is where the HG line got its act together.
Epyon is OK. The heat whip is really tedious to do and requires some careful work to get rid of all the nubs and make it look nice. It's certainly doable for a beginner, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.
I forgot the V2 could form those different fighters. No wonder there transformation was hard to engineer. Thing looks very clever.

The original HG Wing stuff is hot garbage and you're better off avoiding them. If you're interested in the Altron, I would've recommended the MG one that's coming out. It's a P-Bandai exclusive and it'll sadly cost a bit more than most MGs because of it (I've got mine for around $60). Think you missed the window on that one for most stores though. If you are interested in that one, SamuelDecal might be able to get you one still. He was sold out at one point, but Bandai did open more stock so it's worth a try. I know it looks shady just being a Facebook page and an email, but he's well known and very trusted.
As for HGs, look for something post-2004/2005. After that, 90% of the kits are just fine.
The big problem with the Astrays is the hands need to be painted to look right. I might recommend away from that if that's something you're concerned with. If you're fine with just single colored hands, they're great kits otherwise. Dumb giant weapons are dumb, but the base astray design is great.

Freedom isn't a bad beginner MG either. The wings may be a bit tricky but it's not too bad.
It was actually my first MG. The only kits I'd built before it were the HG METEOR + Freedom, HG Providence, and HG Stargazer.
I don't really count the old Wing "action figure model kits".
Just a shout-out to all the gunpla fans around here: GG Infinite is a fucked up piece of shit horrible webstore.
I tried pre-ordering the P-Bandai MG Amazing Exia from them (since they apparently have the exclusive on that for non-Japanese peasants). This is what happened:

- Basket operations just fine.
- I create an account during checkout.
- I authorize payment through PayPal.
- When I get back to GG from PayPal, it says: order failed.
- Money has been deducted from my credit card.
- I can no longer log on with my user account, which apparently does not exist.
- GG support has not given me a single response.
- The money has not been refunded.

I've heard nothing but bad things about them (except for that shill troll nike/suiton on GG and gamefaqs).

Well damn. I didn't want MG Altron to be my starting point cause I'm quite sure I'd mess something up. No good MG or HG G suits I know that much...not the hugest fan of Seed suits...I like Duel and Aegis, but I don't want to touch Kira's suits. Master Grade EW Sandrock looks kind of cool actually.

Just remind yourself of Reconguista in G and all that excitement will vanish into thin air.
The fat suits are definitely my favorites of the lot. The HG's look good too.
Edit: haha you beat me to it
You don't have to be excited for the show to be excited for the kits!
