^I love modularity. I'm thinking about slapping an IWSP on that Astray. Talk about overkill.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch & Rumors VIII

I don't see a way to slap Buster Striker on MG Strike, so I'd disagree. Making Second Revise with a new backpack plug then having an adapter instead of just using the MG Striker slot like Freedom did seems silly.

Though the example only shows Gale Striker pack mounted on MG Blue Frame, Plug Type B seems to be able to couple 1/100 packs to Seed MG's, and it's description below the image (1/100 ==> plug type B ==> MG Seed) does not give any exception at all. And I would assume same goes for the other configurations as well.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch & Rumors VIII

If you'll notice, Type A allows MG Blue Frame to mount MG Striker packs, so I somehow doubt it already has an MG Striker plug for Type B to be going into...

58 runners :shock: it may very well be the partsiest gunpla ever. I thought the price was highly mainly because of the lightup/spinny gimmick. But wow.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch & Rumors VIII

I like the idea of the position locking joints for the PG 00. That will certainly take care of any issues weapon weight. I hope GN Drives/0 Raiser wings lock in place too to prevent the sagging the 1/100 ends up suffering from.

I'm puzzled by what appears to be 2 different Striker pack adapters for the MG Blue Frame. And why would we want adapters for the NG 1/100 backpacks that aren't scale accurate?

Blue Frame>MG Striker
Blue Frame>1/100 Striker
1/100 Striker>MG Striker
1/100 Striker>Tactical Arms II

I'm at a complete loss as to what you think is out of scale about the 1/100 Striker packs. Gale Strike is a bit off with its leg extensions maybe, but that's about it.

YES

KATOKI DELIVERS

AGAIN

YES

...Ahem... Anyways, Since 2005, all December MG releases have been nothing short of fantastic. Then again I might be biased to the Katoki unicorn and Sinanju. Let's hope this Victory delivers. Opens up a very good possibility of a V2 as well

I am going to do what I did with the F91, Crossbone and ZetaPlus.

F91/Crossbone/Z+A1 comes out - I buy

F91 Harrison/Crossbone Full Cloth/Z+C1 comes out - I buy again

Then I buy a few more doubles.

Haha, the Blitz is a giant crab

I do like the Van Saviour's white and teal blue paint scheme though.

Victory's pretty steeply priced for its size. I'll still buy more than one of them. And then we have the two supposed Unicorn MGs in Q1 2010... :shock:

Wow, two weeks EXACTLY after I get the vintage 1/144 of this guy, they announce a Master Grade. I am very much tempted.

....still, transformation mechanism is gonna be a pain with something that small...
Gundam is not about heroes looking badass by saving love interests. Gundam is about heroes bawling and spouting philosophies after failing to save love interests.
Basically true.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch & Rumors VIII

Nebula Blitz is Hot Rod red... sold.
Van Saviour looks like a knight of the Vatican... sold.
MG Victory... 'nuff said...

All they need now are MGs of Gundams X, Double X, and V2. Though I imagine that V2 probably isn't far behind.
