^To add to that; Some people also only add panel lines to make it look like there are separated metal plates. That already adds loads to the details that are already in the MG models. Panel lining isn't an easy task though..

Also, stop posting PG RX versions basques. Else I can't stop the urge to buy a PG RX model myself, LOL :rofl: That PG RX model looks really great! (Y)

That PG RX looks awesome. Now when PG Strike Freedom comes out.. I MAY have to get it. I think I might go out today or tomorrow pick up a 1/144 since I have a couple weeks off till school Starts. I'll document everything! Is there a 1/144 that is a must have? Except the RG Rx-78-2.

Somehow got my uncle to get me PG RX-78 and Zeta when they are released.

Now after all these years, i think they are too big and take up space.

(I insist on keeping the boxes :p)

So I wouldn't think of getting another 1/60 kit.

I prefer SDs and HG 1/144 kits now.

A large portion of my collection are SD Mushas as I started from collecting SDs.

Well, the only 1/144 model that I HAD to have was the Saviour Gundam. I just love the look of it and it's impossible to get a 1/100 MG version of it as far as I know.

well there is the 1/100 HG version lol. I was thinking of picking up something old, but Iconic.

^True, though I wasn't able to get it in the Netherlands. Plus it would inconsistent with the rest of my MG models :p

@iron2000: I also always keep the boxes of all of my Gunpla's, even of all of my figurines for that matter.

Actually it's not bad.. The HG models are still on the scale of the 1/100MG's.. you just have to put some detail into them. Take my Exia for an example, I bought the HG version thinking the MG wouldn't come out.. when it did, it was approx. the same build. I mean just look at this..it's still bad ass.

soo.. any more suggestions for the 1/144?

$1k for a model? and i thought my DYRL transformable valkyrie was expensive at $300 cdn! XD

i have a rx78 PG, a zaku 2 pg that i messed up on so i keep it in the box 1 a 1/60 NG strike and a 1/100 MG reGZ right now. i really prefer to build the PG kits, and want to get a gundam mk2 PG as it's one of my favourite mobile suits.

i started building gunpla when i was fresh out of highschool like 10 years ago and the gundam wing gunplas were in toys r us. they weren't all that great, but with in a couple years they were releasing kits from different UC time line series, such as 08th ms team, with much higher quality and the whole inner frame thing.

unfortunately i've run out of display space in my room, and the nearest shop that sells kits with a limited selection that i have to actually get there first to see what they have because their website is severely out of date, is a 4 hour drive just to the city, and then more driving once there. the online sites i've found that sell them are japanese and they're more expensive before shipping from there than they are in the stores here.

my favourite mobile suits are all from the UC shows, except unicorn and ZZ which i think look terrible or silly. the exception is wing zero from teh show, not endless waltz, which is an awesome looking gundam imho. too bad the PG is the endless waltz version unfortunately. as far as shows go 0079 is still my favourite followed by zeta, and the seed series i think are the worst in every way, although i couldn't get past the first few episodes due to the silly story telling and awful japanese and english dub voice actors.

what i would give for a remake of 0079 with the original english voice actors! they still do work on gundam games released in NA btw :D

here is a gundam review site i found http://gunpla-inochi.com/ although it seems he's put gunpla on hold to spam kamen rider figurines instead, which i don't like the look of. still lots of great gunplay reviews.

^I hate dubs :p I rather have the original Japanese voices in my anime.

@Razorwing: I've got all the 3rd gen 00 Gundam Meister suits. Exia is one of them and although they look decent, they still look out of place among MG models IMO :p

^I hate dubs :p I rather have the original Japanese voices in my anime.

if a dub sucks yeah i'll go with subtitles, and that's usually the case, but some dubs are actually worth watching, and i find them more enjoyable to watch because instead of reading the subs i am looking at the action.

0079 is a good dub, and so is evangelion. i watched eva with subs the second time around and the last two episodes in particular weren't as enjoyable. though most people don't like eva's ending. zeta had a good dub as well.

on the other hand, macross plus for example was terrible in english dub, and so seed was far worse in english than japanese.

I guess it's just the style.. unless you got MG Exia.. I think it's quite the same. Btw, I JUST saw the 1st Episode for Unicorn :D. I think I know what I'm getting tomorrow! :laugh:

I guess I have to go for the 144 one as I don't have money for the MG.

I just started watching unicorn, but for now, i'm in love with Mobile G series. :)

Didn't they make a life sized gundam in japan not long ago? :D

Yes they did. odaiba_gundam44.jpg

makes me REALLY want the RG RX-78 now.

For you pleasure Capric0rn :shifty: , here are some more pics:

Also that macross Valkyrie was one of the most enjoyable models I ever built. The same size as a MG gundam, but incredible details, lots of panelling options and fully transformable. As I am a huge fan of the original macross, I was ecstatic while building this one:

I can't recommend the valkyrie highly enough. Go get it :shiftyninja:

This is the box/price I guess

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10100763

I got all my gundams from Tokyo, so can't really compare the prices.

^....I hate you :rofl: Those are looking damn nice! :D That EVA 01 model also looks pretty great. I only have a Revoltech EVA 02 model at the moment unfortunately.

@Razorwing: That photo of the 1/100 is why I love my MG 1/100 RX-78 so much :D I wish I had bought MG Exia instead of HG Exia. It's not THAT noticeable. But it's lacking some typical stuff like stickers and all that. The boxes that came with the 1/100 HG looked great though! Got the one from Virtue framed which is now hanging on a wall :)

Gundam Unicorn is pretty great with the mix of classic anime looks and new anime technology. They're even using those classic ambient sounds like explosions etc :D Like a proper UC anime series should be. It's unfortunate that the release schedule is so stupid. We get to see 2 episodes each year which leaves us with 1 left for this year and 4 for the next 2 years. Oh well, we've still got that Gundam 00 movie as well :D

@treemonster: Dubs just feel un-natural to me imo. It's just personal preference though :p I just rather watch my anime in Japanese because I just love the language :)

That is no 1/100. That is 1:1. :laugh: Yeah I wish I didn't buy HG Exia. The MG version has light up AND the MG REPAIR.. OMG.. GN CLOTH! :laugh: .. oh well . At least move on.. lol. Well for Unicorn I guess each episode MUST be really good. :D It's probably worth the wait. Any idea when the 00 Movie is coming out? I've only seen teasers..

SO.. I"ll ask again.. any other suggestions for my 1st 1/144?

@Razorwing: I see I managed to screw my post up, lol. While typing I even thought about "Lets get these measurements right. Type 1/1 and 1/100" but of course I HAD to screw it up XD

The 00 movie is going to be in theaters this coming September. That is if they haven't changed the schedule.

No idea what other 1/144 model you should get. I haven't really been looking at 1/144 models for a long time.

maybe I should just get the RX-78.. that's if I can find it. I didn't have time today (was doing a Saw Marathon :D) but I should be able tomorrow.

anyone here play dynasty warriors gundam 1 or 2?

i had about 100 hours in each, which mean most characters in teh first one maxed out and amuro with full parts, and in teh second one the story missions done and one character about 50 missions done in non story (?) mode.

tbh while 2 was an improvement in graphics and game play for the most part, some of my favourite suits from the first one were gimped, i ddin't like how the suit customization was done, or the powers were done, the fact eh soldier suits were so gimp bu there were mission to take out mobile armours with them or grind 500 mobs, or how ridiculoisly har dsome of th emissions were or the hard dificulty was.

both were pretty fun overall though, and gave me multiple nerdgasms being able to fly my favourite mobile suits. and for the story mode they uised the original english dub voice actors for amuro and char, which was quite a treat.

  • 4 months later...

wow haven't posted here forever! Yes I have played DW Gundam 1 and 2. It belonged to my friends.

Some of the new customs are freaking amazing!

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
