I know it's just HGUC, and I know it's just the Zaku I, but DAMN I love how that model looks!

Well, everything but the elbow joint. WTF is up with that?

I'm a UC person too, but I find someof the MS from V Gundam are kinda of lame.  All in the end it is all about Zeta gundam series.  Main character brain fried, almost all the main Characters die,  and the most important part the whole darkside of the series.  Yesssss.

1/100 Astray Gold Frame Amatu Mina  !?

Finally I can fill up that empty space in my Astray section  

I presume those Verde Buster gundam and Bull Duel gundam are the ones from stargazer

The stuff highlighted in bold really bothers me no polycaps... how the hell does that work are we back to vintage joints and if there is one thing I know about plastic on plastic joints [THEY WEAR OUT REALL FAST](especially plastic ball joints...) maybe it's some new revolutionary joint material....

F91 and the gundam F90 MG... ok....  all I can say is they better be damn good and bigger than scale but they don't look that special... and no polycaps in a MG makes me feel like they took the oreos' outta my oreo blizzard and all I am left with is vinilla ice cream... I just think this is a risky MG to do in the first place and expirmenting w/ new stuff is not away to insure good sales bandai is losing their touch....

-EDIT- the other stuff looks kool and a astray gold amatu is the shiznit i guess the survey they did a while back really made it possible!

Master Grades have been doing away with polycaps for some time now, we've been getting "skeletal structures" with the poly's being relegated to small areas where maybe you insert something and of course the head polycap. The total loss of polycaps isn't going to cause much of a difference, but it will be interesting to see what they have in store, probably screws.

I'm so glad the Amatu is coming out! I was going to try and build one out of the Red Frame but I don't have the skills so I'm happy I don't have to do it. Now...........where's my Red Jacket!

[GameraBaenre]

The "no polycaps" thing has my interest piqued as well.  I always enjoy seeing more advancements and innovations to engineering the "better model".  Now if Bandai will go back to using waterslides instead of dry transfers...

I think the best looking kit from the show is the La Vie en Rose.  Looks HUGE... and I'm very fearful of the price tag for something that big and in the EX line....  But damnit it does look good.

[Jinnai]

EX La Vi En Rose is absolutely gorgeous. Can't believe they did that.

Obviously some people haven't bought newer gunpla.. MG Strike was the first to take advantage of a mostly polycap-less joint system, and my snapped one is still really, really tight.

So I'm guessing that F91 will mostly be ABS and a lot of sliding parts. Should be good.

[myakk]

I just have a problem w/ the the size cause it's like a tall 1/144 HG I would consider God gundam or Wing zero small  to be small MGs but they all have energy multiplier fins, angels wings, to make up for their lack o' height. I still believe that polycaps work in some places better than ABS, but here is another angle it saves them money w/ having no polycaps= only ABS needed to be purchased for all the models after this one so all future MGs will cost less to produce.

btw, this is a must for any gundam fan if your wondering about height here you go>

he probably will not be the small size that you show, if you noticed the gundam fix they evened out the f-91 and 90 out with the rest of the figures, they will probably do that here as well, i am expecting it to be the size of the MG Wing and G-gundam and no smaller. i saw some close ups of the f-90 and 91 and right now i am worried they do not look to good up close for some reason, the face on the f-90 looks ugly and big. the f-91 looks alittle strange to. it seemed like the panel lines were way to big and thick (might just be the way it was painted) and the little verniers on the back look like they were molded in one color and require a ton of painting. making the completed unpainted kit look cheap. it might just be me though .
