You should mention the Pokemon model kits in the OP.

I've got a bunch of them and, except for the overdependence on stickers for some of them (Ho-Oh and Torterra, I'm looking at you :colbert:), they're pretty neat (and real cheap, most of them are about 600 yen on HLJ).

Now they just need to make models for the other Jaburo Infiltration MSes. I want my Agguguy dammit.
I want my MG Zock. I know it'll be pretty expensive but I want my loving reversible laser kappa tank dammit :colbert:

(:ssh: I know there's an HGUC, I already have one)

Oh is that what we are talking about now?

Notice its 2 boxes deep and this is only my small pile. I ran out of room in my closet months ago.
I have a problem
And I thought I was bad with the 14 or so I've got piled around me right now (they fit surprisingly well in the open spaces of my computer desk), including a PG WZC I've been using as an impromptu shelf for... gently caress, how long ago did Amazon sell off these things, again?

More about 1/100 MG Aegis

:swoon: Time to replace the old 1/100 robosquid that's been chilling here at my computer desk since SEED was airing on TV...

Also the MG God Gundam, which isn't necessarily bad as a model, but is horribly proportioned and looks kind of dwarfy and stumpy.
It is a pretty small suit, though.

Also, the original Gelgoog has some issues, for some reason the morons who designed it didn't give the shield any way to attach securely to the arm (it has a handle, but no peg to attach to the forearm, it's the only model with a shield I've ever encountered lacking that part).

Also avoid most of the really early MGs unless you can get them really cheap, they're not bad, per se, but they're way outdated.

I'm not too keen on the Aegis; it looks nice but transforming MGs aren't the sturdiest things and its transformed flying mode looks goofy as gently caress. I guess you could buy it and then latch it onto a strike MG as a display piece and recreate memorable scenes from everyone's favourite gundam anime?
Hey, by transforming MS standards "robot squid" is probably one of the most coherent that isn't just "is a robot folded into a plane"...

Robosquid mode best mode :colbert:

To be fair, it's not unreasonable to expect Bandai to mold their kits in the proper colors, especially when it's a model from one of their most successful series.
Half their red mobile suits end up with pink model kits somehow, enough said :colbert:

Bimmi posted:

I somehow missed the brouhaha over the MG Turn A, but the amount of rage being generated by the HG Rozen-Zulu's less-than-accurate color molding has been nothing short of phenomenal.
:stare: That's an... interesting color scheme. Why does it have pink legs on a maroon body, exactly?

The Tallgeese's visor is Gundam-y just by existing, its real head is a square camera eye like the Leos that were developed from it :spergin:

The problem is RG is a 1/144 scale line, and the Victory/F91 suits are tiny compared to their earlier UC or SEED counterparts. So imagine the fragility of the F91/Victory Master Grades, then imagine the kit being 50% smaller. Not a good idea.
iirc, the V suits aren't that small, most of the early AU suits are pretty close to them in size (Wing and Shining are only a meter taller than the Victory, most notably).

Avoid the Kampfer and GP-02. The rest are passable-to-good.
What's wrong with the Kampfer? Mine is just fine.

BlitzBlast posted:

Also what are the odds of Blast Impulse getting attention? :v:
Hopefully either the Blast Impulse or the Slash ZAKU, neither of which got a proper model kit the first time around.

An HG Destroy Gundam would be great too, but I think I'm one of the few people who actually liked it :smith:.

I actually looked it up once, and Victory suits are only a little shorter than most AU suits :ssh:
