Well, I sorta called it---they're revisiting SEED units and MG-fying them. I, for one, welcome MG Duel AS. I wish their backpack plug pieces are compatible and interchangeable with most SEED MG models.
But the AGE Gundams, meh. I guess squeezing in a Tallgeese in there was too much wishful thinking on my part.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I am. Duel Gundam kicks ass. I will almost certainly be picking this up, as while I intensely disliked Yzak for most of Seed, I loved the Duel.Heecarl_Reez wrote:It's MG Duel AS (someone will be very happy with this)
AND IT EVEN COMES WITH THE HYPER-BAZOOKA!!!
Ooooh, RG SkyGrasper. Funny thing is, I was watching Gundam Seed this afternoon and as I looked at the RG Strike sitting atop my Bluray player I remember thinking "You know what'd probably look awesome? An RG SkyGrasper."Heecarl_Reez wrote:RG Skygrasper with Launcher/Sword Striker
Wish granted. AWESOME.
HG LaGOWE is also another DO WANT kit. love that thing.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I was expecting another Athrun unit (preferably Aegis so they could properly implement the sabers) but hey, Duel's good too. Now we just need an MG Forbidden so I can make a 1/100 diorama capturing Yzak's best moment. Hey, it's in Extreme Vs. so it's got to have some popularity, right?
Of course, this pales in comparison to the much more awesome announcement that is MG Gafran!

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I was expecting the MG Duel, but this would mean the RG GAT-X100 line might be on the backburner.
Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I think Bandai didn't reveal everything thats up their sleeves just yet. Plus why reveal a good chunk of the line up (Titus and Sparrow were expected but Gafran!) up to like May? Thats something thats never been done before. So imo it possibly could still happen.SNT1 wrote: But the AGE Gundams, meh.

Overall im very excited and pleased with how many new kits they showed off. Duel looks awesome and i can't wait to see how it looks with the AS armor on. The AGE MG doesn't look too shabby either and the RG Skygrasper is cool (at least Launcher and Sword aren't gonna force you to buy another Strike kit like the MG).
Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
That Booster Bed is probably the "secret part" hinted at for the MG FA Unicorn.
Yeeeessss.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
Yep, I guess they can do that now because they're slowly pulling the plug on the 1/100 kite line that most Gundam shows get. Basically the AGE's 1/100 line just starts out as Master Grades right off the bat.I think Bandai didn't reveal everything thats up their sleeves just yet.

I like the move, but I wish AGE units didn't have to look like crap. I wish they had just done something like this with the Cherudim, Seravee, Arche etc... ah well.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
Indeed, but hey AGE still has at least 2 more chances to look cooler down the road.SNT1 wrote: Yep, I guess they can do that now because they're slowly pulling the plug on the 1/100 kite line that most Gundam shows get.

My only wish is that Bandai finds a better way to balance releasing new and old designs as MGs. Definitely wouldn't mind if they release 2 a month like there doing for Duel and AGE for February.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
while that sounds cool on paper, could you imagine the nightmare that the MG aegis' internal frame would be once the transformation is taken into account?Arsarcana wrote:I was expecting another Athrun unit (preferably Aegis so they could properly implement the sabers) but hey, Duel's good too.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
Please, please make a Providence!
Things never to say/ask on MAHQ:
Did Char and Amuro Really die?
I think Wing is better than UC.
Really, are Char and Amuro Dead?
Gundam Seed Destiny was a great show, better than Turn A!
Where can I find Gundam hentai?
Seriously people, did Char and Amuro die or not!?

I would expect Providence to get a MG treatment now, it should have in the first place.Hi_Nu_Gundam wrote:Please, please make a Providence!

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
Aegis is a pretty well designed transformation, the frame wouldn't be a big deal. Bandai has done far dumber things. Sometimes successfully.

i'l concede that, i still think the torso will be the main hurdle for the MG aegisDeltasTaii wrote:Aegis is a pretty well designed transformation, the frame wouldn't be a big deal. Bandai has done far dumber things. Sometimes successfully.
say i just realised something with the MG duel, if they wanted to bandai could later on release the blu duel (much like how they did with the strike noir)
ditto for the justice, plus the gold frame/amatu...kayone73 wrote:I would expect Providence to get a MG treatment now, it should have in the first place.Hi_Nu_Gundam wrote:Please, please make a Providence!

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
So is there any weight to the rumor that the MG Duel will reuse the Strike frame? Would be a shame for this thing to have hip articulation that's 9 years out of date.
Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I would expect the Justice (either version) to come well before the Amatsu or the Providence. Bandai has to go with what's popular and therefore sells.. Providence never got the major popularity and the Amatsu is obscure as hell.blind_dead_mcjones wrote:ditto for the justice, plus the gold frame/amatu...
Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
That would be so awesome; the Blu Duel is one of my favorite "upgraded" versions of the original Seed designs, so I would snap that up in a heartbeat.blind_dead_mcjones wrote:with the MG duel, if they wanted to bandai could later on release the blu duel (much like how they did with the strike noir)

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
What do you mean either version? IF your talking about Justice and Infinite Justice, you do realize Infinite Justice was released like after Impulse as a MG back in like 07....so all they have left is the original Justice to do.Jaynz wrote:

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
while that is no doubt true for the providence (given that it only showed up in the last two episodes) it doesn't quite hold the same water for the gold frame, afterall it got 1/100 scale kits both in normal and amatsu forms, and don't forget that both the red and blue frames recieved the MG treatment (as well as also being in 1/144 and 1/100) so its not entirely outside the realm of possibilityJaynz wrote:I would expect the Justice (either version) to come well before the Amatsu or the Providence.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
Those who has built an MG Astray would have realized the gating of the "frame" parts are designed in a similar way they gated the Akatsuki, Hyaku Shiki etc... Bandai clearly had MG Gold Frame plans on the table.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors XI
I think it's more of Bandai leaving the option of Gold Frame open. A MG Gold Frame will with a fully gold plated frame is going to be hella expensive, so unless Bandai cheats like they did with the SF Full Burst mode, they will be reluctant to release it. Not saying never, just that it will be slim.
The MG Duel will be an all new mold.
