definitely my next HG buy
Ugh i might be the only person that think Iron Orphans suits are universally hideous on the Gundam side.

That said the grunts have such a strong Leo vibe I do want them.

The Graze is just Leo 2.0 and it's not that great. Leo isn't that great.


But I do agree that the Gundam designs have been different but not really that great.

Like Barbatos is a Bull. Kimaris is a squid. and Gusion is a frog. come on.


The good designs in Orphans so far is the Hyakuri and Hyakuren. Kit customizing with G Reco kits for these seem fun.

I like all the mech designs from IBO so far. The Gundams themselves have that unique animal aesthetic and I like the way it separates them from the grunts. They are from completely different time periods, and I think it's cool they feel like that.

The grunts all feel designed for their jobs as well. The Hyakuri is a space combat suit and really feels designed specifically for that. The Mobile Worker is as grunt as grunt can get and is clearly for just throwing out onto a ground battle scenario. The Graze is an all rounder that has to work both on land and in space.

Also, the Graze has infinitely more personality than the Leo. The Leo is one of the worst designs in Gundam Wing. You can be a grunt suit without being bland.

Did you finish your Akatsuki?

RIP me I preordered the Dragon Momoko MG Destiny ver. Metal Build.

It comes with a stand, effect parts, metallic finish, extra shields and more.

I find the calling Graze infinitely more personal then Leo odd. Literally all I see is a Leo redesigned like Wing F.

Oh, yeah. I totally did. I need to decal it up sometime and maybe post pics.

Short review is its amazing. Great engineering. Plastic is not perfect Badnai quality, but close enough. So glad to finally have a MG style figure of that suit.

Mine had one slight mismolding on the space pack. One of the front grates actually has a significant chunk missing. It's not something I broke or broke in transit, since the seems of where it broke off are actually all coated. Must've broken before it went into the gold coating process. It's barely noticeable and I still love the figure overall.

Aside from the standard colors, the Graze and Leo actually don't look all that similar. The Graze has many more small details, has much sharper angels and lines as well as just being lankier in general.

Here's your weekly reminder, USPS is still weird.

So I have a sizable package coming EMS from HLJ. Been watching the tracking because it's expensive and I'm bit overprotective. Instead of being delivered to my post office today as usual for delivery tomorrow, it's delivered to the one a town over. Delivery date says tomorrow still, so I'm guessing it'll probably get here.

Debating whether or not I should call the post office a town over to see if everything's going alright, but I also kind of don't want to be that guy.

EDIT:

Just as I posted that, a nice postal worker actually went out of their way to deliver it to me. Always great to see people go out of their way to do their jobs.

-Top is the flashback Snow White(Proto Zero). Just a recolor
-Bottom is the MC Snow White. A white version of the GOL Wing Zero redesign but with new shoulders and the wing feathers connected by nanomachines.

Looks gorgeous to me. Though we'll probably never see full line art, much less Gunpla :(

This makes Warlock the only one we haven't really seen. We got lineart for Prometheus, and Scherenzarde and now Snow White have been in covers and actually somewhat visible (not completely cloaked)

On the other end of the spectrum... This is apparently Barbatos Form 5

Sad that its all White....i love all White Suits.

Still we may see it in SRW one day given how broken the damn suit is.

Well we have a mormal colored Wing Zero. A more powerful all black, blue, putple Wing Zero and now and a all White Wing Zero which is so powerful it makes Zero look like a GM.

Sumizawa really should have used brand new designs ugh.

Ordered the HG Revive Qubeley. Still weird to me that that suit got the Revive treatment so early but I'm not gonna complain. Really wanted a kit of it but the HG and MG were both so old.
 
New shoulders and clear parts to hold the wings. Yeah, it sounds ridiculously easy.

Well wait, I wonder if that crossbow-looking buster rifle will be included.

They'll just modify the Wing Zero EW RG. :p
Isn't that we are all expecting anyway?

Whenever we see Zero 2.0 it would just be an enlarged RG with less color separation and then they will have P Bandai's for Wing EW, Black Zero, And Snow White.

Honestly I was shocked we still haven't seen a black Wing Zero RG.

Granted RG or MG I do plan to get Snow White, interested in the new Wing Connection design though.

Bandai is smart. I think they want to market and push out the EW Wing RG first.
While true I was thinking more before we got the announcement of Wing Ew.

I was thinking it would be like the Pearl Gloss and convention exclusive at best.

That said I'm sure they had their reasons.

I mean we got Fenice Rinascita Alba. That doesn't even have an HG or RG release!

Just goes to show that bannam know that Fenice Rinascita is the only good Wing design.

The MG isn't that bad but it is old. If you want to try Chinese knockoffs, I've heard pretty decent things about the Model Comprehend Qubeley.

I also really like the Qubeley Papillon in the original colors.

Lol Wing F R is so damn ugly.

That said i cant wait for Wing F one day.

Nope it just improves on everything about the Wing. Fenice is better than the original tho, but Rinascita is cool.

Well i do agree that Wing F is better then Wing TV in every regard, but we will have to agree to disagree on the quality of Wing F/R.

Why is Wing and Wing Zero the most rehashed suits from Wing?
The same reason that Strike Freedom, 78-2 and Unicorn always get used?

Wing EW and Wing Zero EW easily out xlass everything in Wing as far as popularity goes. Its what people want to buy so they use it.
 
Because they don't know how great the Tallgeese is.

And because the rest of the series is like a bunch of G Gundam rejects, piloted by Street Fighter characters.
It's not Wufei's fault he looks like Fei Long. There's something very regal about the Tallgeese design.

The only one I like from that list is the Unicorn and even that isn't my favorite Unicorn suit. Based Kshatriya.

I dont likr Strike Freedom or 78-2, but its simple to see why they are milked and the same goes for Wing Zero EW.

That said fuck bandai for removing its Violet sensor.

Been building the Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 over the last few days. Have the arms, waist, torso and a leg done. Man that thing is awesome. It's pretty much Ver. Ka quality. Bandai killed it with this kit. Super fun to build too.

Look! No legs to break this time! :p

Pretty fun kit so far. Lots of larger casing parts, so it feels kinda like building a model plane kit rather than a gunpla. I guess that makes sense, since it's a.... Guntank. Lol. The detailing is really solid for a HG kit.
 
Maybe she'll break one of the treads.

I would actually be impressed.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.

Cthuckrollhu, when he stares upon the gunpla their legs will shatter.

Can the treads actually move or are they fixed so they'll stay on?

So now that Exia Ignition is done im moving on to Shenlong and my Wing EW MG/SD in my excitement for RG Wing EW.

Really hoping for a Snow White P-Bandai for Proto Zero next year.

I think next im going to finally build my Banshee Ver Ka as its easily my favorite Unicorn.

I just pray next year I finallt get an HG Wing EW.
