The Zeta Gundam Ver Ka is definitely the greatest transforming kit Bandai has put out, with the Double ZZ Gundam coming in at a close second place for me

@Hakumai_o7 5 месяцев назад

Its crazy how well that ZZ kit was engineered. Truly ahead of its time

@megaflux7144 5 месяцев назад

..and simultaneously the shittiest ver. ka ever made. its barely even a master grade! no full inner frame, super shitty stickers, and about as much shelf presence as a lego minifig.

@AlexLee-je5jg 5 месяцев назад

What about the ex-s gundam’s transformation

@gsm_liv8980 5 месяцев назад

Double ZZ = Quadruple Zeta?

@duomaxwell90 5 месяцев назад

ZZ was fun AF to build and transform

@pkt0827 5 месяцев назад

it's honestly pretty funny how the Zeta ver ka is the only regular release 1/100 MG last year & it sure as hell didn't miss the number 1 spot. They finally made a Zeta that's actually perfect in model kit form & I couldn't be happier when I built one last year

Cool, what kit are you planning to get as your first?

@aa-tx7th 5 месяцев назад

dont worry about grade theyre all easy if youre patient and careful i reccomend the astray hi resolution as the absolute peak of gunpla it has a dos cast metal inner body that doesnt rely on fragile plastic joints but be careful about the katana it snapped at the hilft for me ver ka sazabi and turn red astray with those TWO MASSIVE TRANSFORMING GUN SWORDS are also some of the absolute best my advice is to never cheap out on low grade kits. waste of money and space ESPECIALLY if the mobile suit theyre inspired from already has a higher grade kit out from anytime since 2010ish imo its master grade or better

@gameslacker2711 5 месяцев назад

I'd say one I've really enjoyed seeing was the FM Aerial since I love the feminine designs so much, although I wish we'd get an MG of it at some point. FM Aerial is great but I've always loved the armour gimmicks of MG kits. Also, I love the building process of kits. Seeing the inner frame details is always a joy which is why I prefer MG kits.

It happened with Gundam Barbatos, so we might see a MG Aerial in a few years…

@kyranthewalker9095 5 месяцев назад

Just today I took the EG Build Strike Gundam Exceed Galaxy and mixed it with the regular EG Strike Gundam. It has the more traditional Strike/Build Strike colors of the red/blue chest and the red feet mixed with the effect part pieces on the chest plate and knees. I have the regular Strike shoulders on it for compatibility with the strike packs they're releasing later this year for max options. The only actual modification to parts I did was I chopped off the fins on the chest piece that stick up so it now has better compatibility with the Universe Booster. It doesn't fit perfect because the chest plate extends a little too far out, but it's close enough that it doesn't look too bad. Doing this also left me with an almost entirely blue/grey strike. It's practically the Deactivate mode, except for the red/yellow on the head and the EG system plates from the exceed on the shoulders.

New kits are great, but bandai needs to up their restock game too. I saw news that the new factory for bandai hobby should begin operation this year, so hopefully that means older, harder to find kits get restocked. (also do we really need to restock HGUC Sazabi every other month?)

You could be a final fantasy fan or a transformers fan and still enjoy the Schwarzette. In the one wonged form, it looks like Sephiroth, the One Winged Angel. If you buy two kits to give it two full wings, it looks like Nova Prime. One mecha kit, two evil alien angels! What's not to love? Edit: also, I'm prating Bandai makes a master grade of it. I'd buy 2 kits in a heartbeat

I'm barely 6 months into the hobby, but my thought on the Forbidden Gundam is that its awesomely chunky Mobile Armour Unit probably posed more than its fair share of engineering problems, especially given that it shares a base frame with the other two totally-not-Cyber-newtypes rides from SEED. Either way, if the utterly gorgeous Aerial is the standard we can expect of FM going forward, I'll cross my fingers for the Thrones to get the FM treatment so I can line them up against the MGs of the orignal four Celestials of 00
