man I'm I think in the minority here when I say I'm a huge fan of the G-Self design so this may not come as a surprise but I actually do not like that at all. Adding a bunch of sharp angles to it is jarring and really messes with what I like about it. Love the head though. I will always agree with more mustache.

edit: oh what a horrid snipe but I have nothing else to contribute so here's the post again

On top of Joe Glass Jaw's point that that thing ruins the G-Self's design by adding a bunch of stuff on top, the real crime is that it's a new G-Self kit that isn't a MG or RG G-Self

More G-Reco is better than no G-Reco.

Rather than an MG G-Self, they should devote that MG spot to an MG Xi, and save a spot later on for an MG Penelope after the movie hits.

The HG Penelope box is loving massive as is, it's like a foot and a half long, a foot wide and half a foot high.


We'll theres a chance they have a RG Perfect Strike as well, so I guess it's worth the trip!

I'm still disappointed that they wasted a giant HG slot on that ugly Penelope instead of something cool like the Armorzagan of the Yggdrasill

The biggest boxes for only the best.

The MG should be the size of the PG Unicorn one.

Hey thread, so I've borrowed an airbrush off a friend, nothing too fancy, and want to have a crack at painting. With the goal being to finally shiny up the inner frame of my mg strike freedom.

What would you recommend practising on kit wise apart from spoons. Something that's still a fun kit and not just a generic mook.

I've always suggested simple SDs. They give you a good mix of larger surfaces and some tighter spots if you want the practice. They're also pretty good for getting a handle on masking. The bigger pieces are easier to notice runs on as well.

Yeah an SD is good, also IBO kits are good as well due to their more open nature of frames.

I hope this means we're getting the angels as well.

So I made my trip, but the Nu funnels weren't there. Did get the build strike RG and one of the baseball team themed rx-78's.

If anyone gets to Tokyo, go check out Mandarakes in Nakano, it has heaps of P-Bandai stuff on the shelves.

I wish I went there first up.

Somone in one of the reddit threads made a funny saying instead of a pre built inner frame for this, we'll just get a few slabs of wet meat to attach the parts to.

They missed the better joke - instead of the standard inner frame it's a human skeleton.

I wouldn't get too excited, all the Revoltech Eva 01's have come with the same thing and the closest we've got to an Angel, other than Unit 03, is a jacked up torso for 01 to be posed beating the poo poo out of. It does come with light up eyes though! Kaworu's Eva has a deal too, but you plug in the Moon to the back of its head to recreate the pose and its rad as hell.

The interesting thing is they don't have pre-assembled joints in the more recent RGs. The Nu only has the funnel hinges pre made.

Gold plastic is brittle way more often than other colors, it seems. Not much to do other than glue it solid unless you want to recast the part. Probably easier to just buy a second kit and keep all the other parts for bashing.
