^--That was me censoring, BTW, not the automatic thing.

I just got a big order of gunpla stuff today, including, among other things, the EMSiA Sazabi and MG Crossbone Ver. Ka. -->those two being the items to which this topic refers.

Firstly, I have to voice my sheer amazement at how incredibly awesome the Sazabi is. For starters, it stands taller than my MG 1/100 F91!

It's a monster. The plastic molding and paint job is ~ridiculously~ good. Does anyone know of the Nu EMSiA is of comparible quality?

I'm waiting a bit before I start the Crossbone... but so far I've looked it up and down (the box and instructions) and for he life of me I can't figure out how the Ver. Ka is different from the normal version. Hell, there's a more noticable difference between the OYW version RX-78-2 and the Ver. Ka RX-78-2. Could anyone enlighten me on the difference?

Oh, and I also grabbed a 1/400 Quin Mantha for $15... almost all the pieces are pre-painted and it looks fabulous, so if you don't have it already I really recommend you run over the plajapan or tisinc99 ASAP.

Gah, typo. *fixed*. They only make a 1/400 Quin Mantha. Or Queen Mansa.

I did grab the OYW 1/100 MG Gundam for about $25, though.

Since the Xbone was designed by katoki anyways, yes, you are gonna have one helluva hard time picking out the differences

Comparing the Xbone Ver.Ka to the base kit of the Xbone Fullcloth one will see that the Ver.Ka has a more 'realistic' looking skull in the chest, compared to the cartoony version in the FC. Also the head design is a bit different.

I won't be able to take any pictures of it 'till I have time to make it, and I have a giant russian history test eating away all of this week.

Dalong has pics though, and even though I can't read it it the review ~seems~ to be pretty good.

Looks pretty damn cool, but then again the models I make NEVER look as good as the one's the "pros" make.

I did have one question I forgot to ask about the Crossbone... anyone know a good way to cut the cloth? There doesn't seem to be a stencil or anything like that to make it easy, and I sure as hell don't want to mess this one up.

Take a look at the Crossbone section on here for the actual manga designs-they're much more bulbous, have points on the pylons, and several less realistic and more "manga pirate" style details (the skull's an obvious one in Skullheart configuration).

Full Cloth is still a Crossbone ver.Ka, just not a ver.Ka kit, like the later MG Balls, or MG GM Kai.

The Full Cross is a Katoki original design, that's why it doesn't need the "ver Ka" moniker since he didn't interpret someone else's design for it.
