>>23994474Working on a bootleg Torohachi rn, I'll do some heavy weathering on it as it'll be a diorama prop.I painted it from a lemon yellow to a more vibrant orange yellow and it looks really good. But for some reason I just can't get the paint to go into the small details. Many sharp angles still have that old yellow color. Any tips for that? I'm using acrylics.The weathering will hide the imperfections anyway so it's not a big deal.
>>23994474 He's just a small skinny boy.
MGEX 00 Raiser
MGEX Zudah with spring loaded armor and limbs for realistic exploding action
8PM in Japan now.Where's the stream?
the lineups that will be shown in the upcoming MGEX reveal stream
>>23994486Announcement of announcement. Again. I hate Japan
MGEX Zock.
>>23994484That's just Unicorn ver Ka
Youtube stream delayed
The stream's delayed.
It's over
I WOKE UP EARLY FOR THIS?
>Our wa sugoi girl is masturbing so the stream will be delayed. Prease Understand.
>>23994493go back to sleep
>>23994496Shut up, Jeff the killer
>>23994494>S-SUGOI!!!!! *squirts over the prototypes
>>23994494She's literally me...
Something big is coming...I can feel it in my bones.
Is it because of the earthquake happened recently?
They had to make last minute edits because the host went on a tirade about chinks and koreans when they revealed MGEX astray and he smashed it over the table and stormed out
>>23994501Yeah, bone cancer.
>>23994503>Those shitty gaijins are laughing us! *Hulks out*
They can't delay it for too long since the twitter announcements will be on tomorrow morning in Japan. Unless they want to pospone that too.
>>23994501>The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.>For the time will soon come when Chobits will shape the fortunes of all.
>>23994508it would be funny if they forgot to delete the scheduled tweets and the new MGEX just got unceremoniously revealed by accident.
[Regarding the postponement of the release of "Latest! Gunpla Information Bureau"] Due to network problems, there has been a delay in uploading the video. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone who has been looking forward to it. We are currently working to resolve the issue so that we can release the video today. Please wait a little longer for the announcement of the release time.
japan run out of internetplease understand
https://x.com/HobbySite/status/2092211373820518582
>>23994515>Can't even afford good internetHeh, no wonder their HG is full of box hands.
I'm willing to bet their MGEX prototype crumbled right as they were starting the stream
>>23994521Remember that PGU Nu stream? Funny as fuck.
I'm calling it now: MGEX Nobel Gundam with squishy titties that can squirt milk as the EX gimmick.
>>23994527And armpits that smell like copper please.
>>23994516I thought Japland was first world
>>23994534They are still using Yahoo and DVD.
I got only 6 hours of sleep for this.
>>23994543Bandai causing physical harm to people was not on my bingo card
QRD on the chink 1/100 PGU nu gundam? Is it better than the 1/100 RG upscale? Would it look awkward when displayed next to a 1/100 RG upscale Sazabi?
staying awake just for more MG Astray lmaoooooo
>>23994547Aka one of the best mobile suits ever? Hell yeah
>>23994546There's a 1/100 PGU Nu?
>>23994552He meant that out of scale 1/100 Nu from Fortune Mew.
>>23994553There are too many Zhang Nus, I have no idea which one you're talking about.
>>23994516still no updates huh
>>23994554This one, I saw it randomly while scrolling twitter. I'm more of a 1/144 guy, but I started collecting 1/100s of the main character suits.
bamco is fucking dedit's over
>>23994557I believe that one is not a kit but a metal figure
>>23994557Krw said this is just a 1/100 figure not a kit
>>23994559I swear if the mgex is a lackluster drop
>>23994564>if the mgex is a lackluster dropSo, just the usual MGEX then.
>>23994566yeah man everything sucks
>>23994563Is there anything stopping me from taking it apart and painting it the way I want?
>>23994568Masking tape
>I HATE EVERYTHING except chinese plamo!
>>23994575Based falseflagging Bandaibro.
>uploading a video is too difficult for this multi billion dollar companyI expected nothing and bandai at least delivered me comedy.
>>23994516>network issues>caused by GN ParticlesMGEX Exia confirmed.
Do anyone here ever built MGEX kit and was it worth it?
>>23994579I built the Strike Freedom>Was it worth itNo, not at all. I paid more than the Sazabi for Sazabi tier complexity. I also have the Unicorn which I have yet to build so I cannot comment on that. I should do that soon.
>>23994580can you send me a couple kits since you're rich
>>23994581I can give you this Shin Musha I regret buying.
>>23994579once a year I think about getting MGEX Unicorn and every year I've decided against it because I don't like it nearly enough for the pricetagyet it's also annoyingly the best representation of the design, hence why I keep coming back to itmaybe one day
>>23994562Daban made a kit of the Metal Structure Nu, but it's almost as expensive as Bandai's PGU Nu, so yeah.
>>23994581Get a job, you lout.
>>23994583we could have had a Unicorn 2.0 being a stripped down versiom of the MGEX without the hangar and LED, but being an MGEX means it's stuck in that hell.
>>23994585Okay, where?
>>23994582what evoked the regret
>>23994588Your local brothel.
MGEX Impulse gundam that automatically changes colors if you switch silhouettse/packs
>>23994590You didn't get it.
>>23994589FOMO and temporary "Oh I kinda like this" urges were the only reason why I bought it.
MGEX Throne Drei that releases lacquer fumes when you put it in GN Stealth Field mode so you can get cancer just like the anime
Two hours of delay with no new announced time yet.In another two hours they'll be airing it at midnight in Japan.
>>23994595yep, that feeling does get the better of us
Just go to sleep, it's not like the news will disappear.
>>23994598https://x.com/HobbySite/status/2092235630864675079
WAKE UP NIGGERS
>>23994600If you don't get news while it's hot then you get olds
>>23994598They need time to let Zhang scan the kit so he releases the bootleg in record time.
>>23994601>>23994603all this shit just to announce an MG astray
astray more like ashtray amirite guys????
>>23994603>from 22h (literally right now) onward what the fuck does it mean? that's from now to the heat death of the universe
so I know it's not gonna be but on the offchance it's MGEX Double X or something I care about I will kill a chinkshill for bandai
>>23994603isn't that, like, now???
>>23994609absolute X sweep
My stupid ass thought acrylic automatically means water-based. I bought some DSPIAE marker for FINE DETAILING metallic style, but I bought the oil based (MKA series) instead because it has the coolest color, but that means I can't erase mistakes without also erasing the painted surface. It stings even more knowing DSPIAE does have water-based AND also soft-tipped, which would make my life easier. For fucks sake, my week is ruined.
inb4 these "network issues" are just a ploy by bandai to try to generate more hype for whatever chinese slop they're about to show off.
>>23994609I don't think it's DX because they just announced a Metal RD for it we're long past the days of the toy and hobby division releasing competing products
>>23994610>22:20Anon...
>>23994610now and until beyond the time given the ~mgex nu when
>>23994613>he's still crying about it KEKAROO
>>23994613Varnish/topcoat, then apply your oils. Once they're dry and you're happy with them, varnish again and keep working.
>>23994616minutes are woke propaganda
>>23994615hey buddy I already said I know it's not gonna be I don't need you to try and manufacture my disappointment for meI'm perfectly capable of disappointing myself with facts and logic and reality
perhaps this was our 30 minute mission all along
>>23994618yes it's still on my mind I'm so angry rn. I've repainted the same part 3 times over because of some dumb markers mistakes.
>>23994621oh sorry man I only skimmed through your post I actually like to preemptively disappoint people before announcements my bad
black pill: they will only ever make MGEX and PGU kits of the absolute most popular mobile suits
>>23994622I will 30 minutes your sister
>>23994624that's okay bud keep up the good work
>>23994613That's why you gotta topcoat before applying detailing on top of existing paint.
>>23994625>ANON DISCOVERS WATER IS WET
>i thought i saw a stream of the MGEZ announcement>it's just z*k***r*l**s's streamcall me when it's up
>>23994625>literally just objective reality of life>calls it black pillI get you're sheltered and all but don't make it other people's problem
>>23994629wrong. wet is water
>>23994625wtf
>>23994623I even searched google trying to find fellow poor souls who got TRICKED by DSPIAE.
MGEX of megagaykotsu's dog
>>23994635you could have avoided this
>>23994628>>23994619How would that help? If I try to erase oil markers mistakes with alcohol, then it'd also erase the topcoat and any paint under (it became grey-ish). Alcohol is too powerful and no other substance could erase the marker.
>>23994579I built MGEX Strike Freedom and honestly it is not worth the money. The open hatches and articulation are nice and all but the mustard gold plastic they use for the joints has terrible durability.
why are there so many filipinos into gunpla?
>>23994631are you drunk high?
MGEX Aerial or CalibarnI'm going to manifest this.
>>23994637Yes but I'm retarded I associated acrylic with water based. /gpg/ made it worse with the "shitcrylic" jokes, which reinforced my subconscious beliefs that acrylic = water.
>>23994639that's why you wait for the Zhang metal frames
>>23994640because they're the true fans, white boy
>>23994625Nope, they’re giving us a MGEX Elf Bullock, I can feel it in my nuts
>>23994643Blame it on the misfortune of your birth
>>23994640They're massive weebs, look around any anime related stuff and they over-represent the SEA side of the fanbase.
>>23994640Gunpla is mostly an Asian hobby. You don't see the Spics or British being passionate about Gundam because childish giant robot is lame.
>>23994641https://youtu.be/wdbGPbyZDmY
>>23994645italians arent white
>>23994646betting your fertility on it? bold move
back in my days we had a resident faggot who would've leaked this shit already
>>23994652My Personal Savior!
>>23994651two of my british friends are definitely the two people I personally know most into gunpla after myself
>cool kit review>well made video>filipino accentwhy?
>>23994655yeah I got a better job nowadays lol
>>23994659you actually left because your boss fucked your then gf
can a midle class jobless man afford gunpla in your country?
>>23994658better than american to be fair
>>23994643It's ok anon, mistakes are part of the learning process. When I started painting, it was really overwhelming trying to make sense of say, the various mr hobby line and had to look at a bunch of charts etc to know true water based acrylic (which people just say acrylic), acrylic lacquer (which people just say lacquer) and so on. I've even made the mistake of buying acrysion when I wanted aqueous and so on.
God damn what a beautiful Gouf
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdCFpUf6vy0
>>23994660no actuallyhe fucked me and he was bad at itcould not respect him after that
>>23994658>filipino accentmake sure to like comment and subscribe because you know the price of a kit is a significant hit to that filipino guy's wallet
The worst shit flips came up with are those dumb "ASMR build" videos where they keep showing their disgusting brown hands.
>>23994657Majority of Britbongs are into Warhammer and Magic the Gathering.
My dad works for gundam and he says its going to be MGEX RX-78-2
RG GROUND GUNDAM

>>23994673holy fucking kino
>>23994673el chupacabra...

LETS GO
>>23994675gonna save so much money by not buying this shit
woah bandai cares
>>23994675>>23993466I called itYou may all fucking kneel
>>23994678>>23994673The re/100 is never getting a reprint huh
>>23994679WHY NOT EZ8?????
fucking nice
>>23994682not the same opI made this image an hour ago lol
>>23994684It's not easy enough
>>23994682>you may kneel because I called out the most boring and safest optionNo, I don't think anyone will.
>>23994686>>23994688copeI called it firstI win the disappointment bowlyou have to buy me a Hamma Hamma now
>>23994679>>23994678Ooh RG of the RX-79[G] Ground Type
>>23994685did they get Naoki to design this? feet are tiny
>>23994675kek this lazy bastard. they just use most MGEX SF part then modify a little to make a brand new ovefrpriced product
RG Ground Gundam
>Ground GundamThey couldn't pick a more boring basic bitch MC suit to be made into an RG.
>MGEX after 5 years and it exact same generic gimmick as Strike FreedomFor what fucking purpose
>>23994695Sorry your favorite didn't make it
>RG Ez8 P-Bandai next yearfuck you
>>23994675Cue Westerns frothing at the mouth at the Japanese and their love of SEED, while the Japanese froth at the mouth for the Chinese and their love of SEED.
>that backpack for RG GroundThats pretty neat
>>23994675>it was realThis is Gamefreak Pokemon levels of lazy rehash.
>>23994705>OOB build vs GBWC world champion
>>23994673>>23994683I've had the re100 in my backlog for six years. Bought it funnily enough because I thought it'd never get a reprint. But hey, more hamma hamma makes me happy happy.
>>23994678What's with the Musha Gundams showing up all of a sudden before today's showcase... only to end up with nothing but boring shit? Was it all a fucking lie?
>>23994697The seedfans will buy whatever slop they're fed gleefully. I hope they prove me wrong and bandai gets fucked though. The disdain that these companies have for people who mad them rich beyond belief is growing tiresome.
Years later, the prophercy has come true. RG GM when?!
RG Ground Gundam doesnt look FAT enough
>>23994705The fuck is that thing on the right, it looks it's got some kind of skin condition.
>>23994707I am very glad that I decided to buy it from Mandarake before it was gone forever.
>only 4 new GunplasI blame 30MM for this.
>>23994673it better have the rose
>>23994695Basic yet it has the most iconic scene in the franchise
CAN'T WAIT FOR MGSD EXIA AND QANT MADE IN CHINA
>>23994694>>23994685Reusing the RX-78-2 2.0 frame as well. I guess the only real announcement was the MGSD 00 Gundam Raiser.
>00 anniversary soon>MGSDI am fucking livid
>>2399471530M is the future.
>>23994685>>23994694Will this come with an optional GM head?
>>23994707I've never had a kit unbuilt for more than a few months. This is incomprehensible to me.
Once again Westoids get mad that Japan doesn't cater to their tastes.
i have hg ground gundam and fucking torso is pure aidsrg has to have it fixed
Still no upgrade set for 30MF Archer?>>23994724there's nothing more american than FREEDOM
>>23994724>cater to their tastesAre you actually gloating that you get to rebuy the same robot in the super premium line again?
>>23994588Bandai 12.
>>23994679Can't wait for the 1/100 chinese upscale.LMAO!!!!!!
>>23994722nopiss bandai
>>23994717lol
>>23994675You're watching Bandai turning into Gamefreak in real time.
>Still no modern Destiny kit above an HGaieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>23994723If the photos of closets full of boxes of unbuilt gunpla are any indication, some people are really more about buying gunpla than actually building them. Like women going on shopping spree.
I like the mighty strike freedom but why the fuck did they decide to make that right after the strike freedom??And why 4 fucking years since the last MGEX??
>>23994730>EFF instead of EFGFAaaaand an entire branch of the Federation military got retconned.
>Release the same kit with minor changes>Charge 300 dollarsThat's amazing.
>>23994675kekaroo it's just a retool of the SF with a different backpack
>>23994725The waist is abit janky but the kit is alright.
>>23994732shillmon are still worse
>>23994731cute turd
I hope there will be more interesting stuff with SRW/Digimon/YGO tomorrow.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
ok, this is epic.
and you niggers still wonder why we hate bandai and prefer chang
>>23994675HOLY FUCK FINALLY AT LEAST ITS NOT DESTINY.
>ywn go back to the 2010s when Gunpla releases were many and stock was plentiful
>>23994683I think it's due a reprint by the end of the year.
>>23994719It reuses the limbs but the torso is gonna be new since Ground Gundam doesn't have core fighter.
>>23994679oh wow they're actually following through with the original RG plan from 10 years ago! which means RG GM is next!
WE all hate 30M here.
Can't believe I'm more hyped for pbandit 30mm kit compared to the newly revealed Gundam ones.
>>23994711Ralbros RG Gouf is happening at last!
>>23994755
impressivevery nice
>>23994700Nah it'll be retail but Bandai is gonna be lazy as fuck. RG Ez-8 2 years from now, RG BD-1 4 years from now, then P-Bandai BD-2 and BD-3.
>>23994720>>23994719I'm gonna fuckin buy it. At least the MGSD looks like a good kit but fuck Seed.
>>23994747Destiny would have been preferable
I guess this is it for X. Now I'll just wait for the inevitable PB HG Leopard Destroy.
No announcement for the next HGAC EW Gundam. The Sandrock flopped so it's not surprising.
I didn't even realize, it has been 4 years since the Strike Freedom released. it took 4 years for bandai to make a backpack?
>>23994763Be happy its not Astray.
>>23994765it's as expensive as the MG. no fucking wonder why
>>23994767Not him, but I think I would have rather had an Astray. At least it wouldn't be a literal cash grab re-hash.
>>23994685>>23994694>>23994731>>23994744>>23994760The Ez8 will be P Bandit lololol
>>23994766do you think engineering Shitpla was easy?
>>23994755Wrong
>>23994767MG Load Astray Omega would've been dope.
>>23994773based yuribro
People get a new RG announcement and they're already screaming and crying about p-bandai releases that don't exist
laughing at G-Self idiots thinking they will get a MG
Cutting my dick off in solidary with the SEEDragers to show Bandai that the tranny gunpla community will not stand for this MGEX announcement
>>23994673This is basically the only good announcement
>>23994776Remember when we used to be excited for gunpla? I memba.
RG Pale Rider when?
>>23994776it's bandai. always expect the worst from them.
>>23994781I don't think the people crying actually like gunpla. They like crying.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxMBNNBX3H0
>>23994779/gpg/ will run a train on you in Thailand brownie
>>23994778The G-Self is basically the next G-Saviour at this point. Bandai and the non-G-Reco fans will never accept its existence.
>>23994770>>23994774Bullshit this is why its the mgex strike.
>>23994778:(
>>23994781Several weeks ago with the Hydra Gundam, yeah.
>>23994784My point is that even I'm a newfag to gunpla in the grand scheme of things and 10 years ago these threads weren't like this because bandai wasn't such a shit company.
>>23994786No one is more brown than the westoid IBO or Gwitch fan thinking Bandai cater to their delusion
>>23994791Things weren't like this because people weren't as whiny 10 years ago.
>>23994793SEEDfags have turd colored skin however
I just don't have expectations at this point. Probably gonna by about... 15 kits more and then just focus on painting
>>23994794Look up how many Gunpla were released in 2015 and compare it to 2025.
>people stayed up just to get mad over the news they already knew were going to be bad
>>23994711>time to buy yet another z'gok
>>23994796SEEDragers that were just dilating about AI Destiny images due to their geriatric eyesight #embarrassing
>>23994801PENIS LINEPENIS LINE
>>23994794Please shut the fuck up you rube.
>>23994799Why would that matter when the crybabies don't build anything to begin with?
>>23994799nta but doesn't matterpeople didn't treat this place like a discord channel to give their every inconsequential opinion while treating gunpla releases like the only thing that gives their life meaning/getting too invested to the point of schizoing out and crying about bandai bad because they aren't making thing I want
They better announce HG Soulgain tomorrow to make up for this.
>>23994807oh wait I just realized, you're a bandai employee. my mistake for thinking you were just a normal retard.
>was hoping for something new instead of just previous things but in a different format/grade I am disappointedI was hoping for another Axis zeon that is not Hamma Hamma or something out of the MSV zaku2But RG ground? Why
>>23994799the lack of gunpla releases are offset by the number of shitplas we got this year.
>>23994812Here you are crying again.
>>23994811You don't deserve shit if Hamma Hamma didn't give you a half psycommu chub
>>23994811I want my Angelg first.
>>23994815No amount of reposting>waaaah you're just crying!will get you paid more, Takeshi.
>>23994813>But RG ground? WhyYou know what I know why Then they can retool the kit to EZ8 and Goirnd GM/ the green one for PB
at this point i'm glad we're still getting 30mm AC6
>>23994820Is bandai paying your mom when she tells you to stop throwing a fit too?
>>23994826literal child tier response lmao
>>23994809This was why generals were frowned upon back in the days when moot was in charge. It inevitably ends up into a chat room situation.
What do you do with an old HG when you get its RG version?
>>23994814They have to recover from the loss on their actual shitpla sale.
>>23994831I hope they lose more on this MGEX.
>>23994813Ground is cool, classic design with new details and a big ass gun.Hopefully we get a RG Gouf Custom... One day.
>>23994830Eat it
>>23994786I unironically could beat any of you in a fight
>>23994828Did you learn that one from her last time you threw a fit offline?
I dunno why people complain, I'm glad I don't have to pay out the ass for a MG kit. I hope I design I actually like never gets a MGEX instead of a regular MG.Like, MG MSF is never happening now for at least 10 years or more.
>>23994829moot was ultimately cool with generals though and actually really liked /vg/in fact he was pretty big on any actual communities arising from this place, much like how waaay back it wasn't really a big deal for people to be tripfags either despite the culture shift on that not so long into thingst. played MWO with moot when he joined our /vg/ group for it
>>23994824Still waiting on those BASHO, FIRMEZA, ALBA and TIAN-QIANG/LAO builds.
Do you think they can reuse any rg rx78 runners for the ground gundam?
>>23994804https://youtu.be/0hrM2biD7g4?si=eZfIImV1NhIZSmhI&t=7
>>23994658Why does it matter
>>23994830Paint the RG in a different color/ style and give different weapons, then put next to the old HG.
>>23994841Probably most of the frame. Ground gundams were made from the rx-78 spare parts so it would be lore accurate for them to share a frame.
>>23994821RG Blue Destiny>>23994833I guess we'll have to wait for an RG Zaku II 2.0 for that to happen.
>>23994838>I dunno why people complainbecause some of us actually do want good new model kits to purchase and build. We don't want slop and we don't want re-hashed shit.
>>23994809>it doesn't matter if the releases of the hobby you've been following over a decade slowed down to a trickleThese are the people who cry when Chang makes a kit of design Bandai never bothered to touch btw.
Here's your P-Bandai RG Ground Gundam kit
>>23994847You wouldn't build that either. You would just find something else to whine about.
>>23994841Without comparing it closely, the shoulders and arms look similar? So that might be the same. Legs torso and head are definitely unique though.>>23994833>RG Gouf CustomBandai would never...
>>23994848over two decades and I'm okay with itthey often release more in a year than I'm willing to buy so yeah you just wanna whine because you're a child
>>23994847>>23994848You didn't build anything then and you don't now
MGEX MSF is 26,000 yen by the way lolA FUCKING BACKPACK
>>23994745>weI don't hate Bandai, at all. I'm enjoying 30MM and 30MS kits, find engineering and design of new models from new series quite nice. I don't care about PBandai since I don't care about some obscure variants of existing kits from some very old series, don't care about "da original" Gundam series and universe and don't build in bigger scale than HG due to lack of space. Plus, painting makes those HGs looks just as good as MGs.Meanwhile I despise Chinese for essentially stealing designs, adding tons of spikes, unnecessary decorations, slap typical Chinese name of "thundercock emperor" or "floating fan ice general" and trying their tested method of undercutting competition, while their kits have lower quality control and/or worse material. I had enough experience with Chinese plastic girls kits.
They haven't even made any variants for the new RG Rx-78-2 like the FA Gundam or Perfect Gundam. Doubt they'll do anything more for the Ground Gundam aside for maybe the Ez-8.
The chang schizo is having a melty again?
>>23994856maybe you didn't notice but the FA Gundam and Perfect Gundam don't appear in the anime but the Ez8 does and is the protagonist's upgrade gundam so yeah we're probably gonna get an Ez8 out of it
>>23994853I'm in the middle of building the Guncannon Detector right now. I just finished the Vigna Ghina.
>>23994855>I'm enjoying 30MMOpinion discarded
>>23994861I noticed this is a stock photo and that you haven't posted that vigna ghina or any progress on that guncannon detector.
>>23994831Bandai was targeting the indian market too aggressively
>>23994865Saarpla...
>>23994717Diorama time
>>23994847>some of us actually do want good new model kits to purchase and buildFinish your backlog first
>>23994860What does it matter that they weren't in the anime? Isn't that what P-Bandai is supposed to be for?
>>23994853I've been featured plenty of times on the OP and following posts albeit.
>>23994801I went to bed thinking I'd be disappointed and woke up pleasantly surprised to HG Hamma Hamma. Dont care about the rest since I wont be buying them.
>>23994717>the most iconic scene in the franchiseUhhhh retardkun?
>>23994873You forgot to attach the pic of your work that you're talking about
>>23994854Are we certain they are reusing the Strike Freedom body for it? Because this cannot be right.
>>23994872hmm I don't know maybe because the anime are the primary medium of engagement and advertising for the franchise
>>23994871I literally am.>>23994864It's always funny when you fags behave like this.
>>23994872>What does it matter that they weren't in the anime? Isn't that what P-Bandai is supposed to be for?Weren't in the anime, yeah...
>>23994675Chang is gonna KO the backpack for less than 20 usd
It just dawned on me that its an HG hamma hamma and not the RE/100. I honestly thought it was a reprint.
>>23994877Nah then my work will just get dogpilled by people like you.
You got it all wrong! This is part of Bandai Master Plan to get enough revenue for the good stuff!. "We" should have faith, "me".
>>23994876Literally no one cares about the last shooting lmao. Zaku kicking RX78-2 scene is way more popular.
>>23994883>announcing a re-print during a new toys showDon't give bandai any ideas.
>>23994880Nice nubs.
>>23994884lol coward
>>23994884It wouldn't get dogpiled if it were good enough to justify your horrible personality. If you weren't such a nasty person people wouldn't shit on you.Coward.
>>23994675I honestly would've liked that the new MGEX is the Aile Strike Gundam instead.
>>23994889>nubsThose are stress marks from snipping off the nubs using nippers. I need to sand them more.
>>23994885I am a 40+ year old SEEDrager currently transitioning and this is my post
>>23994875The only real disappointment is that Bandai treats Gundam like it's a niche franchise that can only afford a few releases every now and then. But HG Hamma-Hamma is pretty huge. Will go great with my Galluss J. RG Gundam Ground Type is also nice. I know people will be bored by it but proper early UC releases that aren't just 2.0s or revives seem rare these days.
>>23994884>dogpiledAt best people wont reply or some anon will point out the nub you missed. /gpg/ isnt that harsh.
>>23994896>rare>consistently getting them year after yearcmon man you literally just said gallus j
>>23994893No there's definitely nubs on there too. You really aren't good enough at this to have been doing it for very long or to justify having such a dogshit attitude. It's one thing if someone who is good at something complains but you suck ass at it.
>>23994876>The scene that has been regurgitated over and over again vs a scene from a 1979 show that not a single soul bother to recreate.
>>23994899There aren't any nubs.
>>23994898I guess better to say "OYW". And no I'm not counting weird shit like Requiem of Vengeance or GCucks.
>>23994856Just pray that Zhang would make them just like they make RG Perfect Zeong but upscaled
>>23994900there's already enough stupid shit going on in the thread do you really need to try and just be a giga retard ontop of it about something no one gives a shit about? yeah man last shooting hasn't been repeated dozens of times and multiple kits and figures haven't been made recreating itkeep yourself safe you thirsty little (you) goblin
>>23994801Getting mad is what this general does best
At least we didnt get a new Astra- oh…….
>>23994901You just assembled it without doing anything about the nubs lmao. Maybe if you spent as much time actually working on models as you do screaming and crying about new releases you'll never buy you would be competent.
>>23994899Not that anon but none of the build posted here look breathtaking because we are all amateurs. It is either generic colorswap or some basicbitch kitbashing. I don't expect random gpg to become the next Kow Yokoyama and neither should everyone else.
>>23994900Blud rx782s final shot is basically the logo for the franchise
>>23994912There aren't nubs. I flush cut every single nub with dspaei nippers, then I eventually sand them. Have you never built a model kit before?
>>23994905>do you really need to try and just be a giga retard ontop of it about something no one gives a shit aboutYes. In fact, if no one gave a shit, none of you would be arguing about it to start with.If you want peace, go to r/gunpla or something. The chaos is what makes this place fun.
>got cucked by Ground Gundam
>>23994863>waaaah, mommy, they don't want to make another Zaku kit!
>>23994918>please call me retarded uuuwuuuu I wuv it when you call me a retard for saying retarded thingsokay retard whatever floats your boat
>>23994915I would be satisfied with even that level of work. It's people who do essentially nothing complaining. No paint, no stress mark removal, no customization and no real building. Look at dipshits blurry guncannon detector. He could at least sand off the nubs but he didn't even bother with that.>>23994917Have you built one? That looks like it could be the first time you built anything. Maybe if you spent all the time you spend crying trying to improve your work it would be at least presentable.
>>23994918>The chaos is what makes this place funMom's gonna freak!
>>23994921I prayed to God to let Xfags get what they wanted and, as his faithful, my prayer was answered. Those people can get fucked.
>>23994923>still engagingIt takes two to clap. You are just as guilty of the thing you accuse others of. Deep down, you like it too. That's why you're still here and still arguing about things 'no one cares'.
>>23994921There's still 40th anniversary in a decade :)
>>23994925>Have you built one?Considering that you're screaming about the non existent nubs on the picture I posted of my model kit in progress, yes I built one kid. You're looking more and more butthurt by the second.
Bandai wongpg lost yet again
>>23994930You still haven't posted proof you've finished a model or ever cleaned a nub by the way
>>23994932Kek, you are mad as hell.
>>23994916>is basically the logo for the franchiseDoubt
>>23994931The funniest part about all this is that some dumbass here will buy the new MGEX thinking he can scalp it later even though it's gonna shelfwarm for years.
Nubs? More like noobs, which is what you all are.
>>23994936You're the one who started this by screaming and crying about things that didn't even happen. You were whining about the possibility of a thing happening. Maybe you should be more concerned with the possibility of you making anything that doesn't look like ass.
>>23994854>10000 yen for an alternate backpackGRIM
>>23994940Post your work
>>23994936Why are you bothering to reply to his extremely obvious bait?
>>23994938it'll get 50% price cut just like PGU Nu soon
>>23994944I'm making him work for the 10 cents he earns a post.
>>23994928>you see, even though I was engaging disingenuously and you attempted a rational discourse with me it is actually the truth that we were doing the same thing! From a certain point of view!>disregarding the entire point of course and the very question posed about the need to engage disingenuously and where your profound desire to be called retarded comes from>we're really both the same see!no actually, now my point is made
THE JAPANESE ARE NOT HAPPY
>>23994944Obligatory
All of this could've been avoided had Bandai announced the Zeta Plus Ver Ka instead.
>>23994947>rational discourseSure thing buddy, sure thing. It's like two guys in an asylum being convinced they're the doctor and not the patient.
>>23994943Here's a custom white zeta I did a few months ago. You'll notice no nubs and I didn't even need to take a blurry photo to try and hide them.I'm trying to tell you that you can do better if you spend less time crying on the internet and spent more time trying to do better.
>>23994950>SentinelIt is gonna be Pbandai and get scalped to hell and back.
>screenshotApply yourself kid.
>>23994947There is nothing rational about the screeching on both sides. The longer you continue to argue, the more people just see two retards fighting. The only real moral high ground is to not bite the bait to start with.
2030 ANNOUNCEMENT: MGEX RISING FREEDOM
>>23994955It's how I remove the EXIF data so my shit doesn't turn sideways when I post it.
>>23994953computer focus in on that mold line on the rifleenhance
>>23994945I wish the PGU Nu does get a 50% disc outside Japan...
>>23994960Damn guess I need to screech about bandai for a few hours every day now.
Chink already made Proud Defender for MGEX Strike Freedom and it's more cheaper lmao
>>23994953You are using a painted MG to compare to his unpainted RE100. I don't want to be blunt but literally every unpainted kit has nubmarks, anon. Btw, redo the hand. I see flash.
I just realized RG Ground is 4,600 yen wtf almost double RG MK-II
>>23994960That's not his work by the way. That guy has already posted that image previously. I know because I thought it was a decent looking zeta.
>>23994963>and it's more cheaper
>2020-MGEX Unicorn>luminous psychoframe, gimmick unique to Unicorn/Banshee>2022-MGEX Strike Freedom>metal expression (whatever that means), layered frame that can be applied to literally any gundam actually if they tried>2027- MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom>a backpack
>>23994966>omg why is this kit from 2012 cheaper than this kit from 2026It makes no sense!!!
>>23994953Oh shit, it's the 3rd best builder of /gpg/! How is that shitter ever gonna recover from this level of mogging?
This general is gonna be unbearable for the next day or two isnt it
>more cheaper
Zeta is so ugly
>>23994962>>23994960Also, I will point out that's just molded decal on the ver.ka rifle. There's not a mold line there.>>23994964My point is that he doesn't have the skills to back up such a horrible personality. People tolerate someone talented being unpleasant if they're talented but he is not talented and cries too much. He started this by crying about things that haven't even happened and isn't skilled enough for people to look past his horrible personality.>>23994968It's common knowledge that things can only ever be posted once
>>23994953Kek anon is right. You're always jumping in whenever someone complains about whatever the biggest toy corporation in the world is doing. Put a trip on and start calling yourself the Resident Doctor.
>>23994966i will just wait for chink-sama version
>>23994980>posted oncePost your work with time stamp.
They really do hate MG, aren't they?
Personally I think if you don't have over 100 models on display you really shouldn't be whining about new releases.
>>23994982I mock people who spend more time crying than they do building. Just stop crying and people will stop bullying you.>>23994984Here it is on my shelf.
>>23994963but its still using the Strike Freedom 1 body. the new MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom has new shoulders, new side skirts and new head
>>23994989What do you mean, you got your MGSD
>>23994910This has been planned... FOR A MOTHERFUCKING YEAR!!!
Surprised nobody posted the new Dunbine kit yet
>>23994991I'd have 100 models if bandai actually made stuff I want to buy.
>>23994997It was posted last thread
>>23994996Does it stop it from being a new astray??
>>23994954Good. The pride of ownership is gonna be out of this world.
>>23994997FUCK OFF!!! It's still useless to me because it came from Tomino's second sperg-out attack! Give me something good tomorrow or I will blow up the new Bandai factory!
>>23994998No you wouldn't. You'd find a reason to cry about those too and insist you actually wanted something else.
>>23994992>ScreenshotIs your phone being weird or are you stealing someone else's work?
>>23994991I actually do have over 100 models on display. Very few have been painted but still.
>>23994991I have 180 kits in boxes. Does that count?
>>23994991But what if I have no space for 100 models? Best I can do is about 70 or so. Do I have to stay quiet for all eternity?
>>23995004The filesize on raw photos is too large to post and they turn sideways from 4chan stripping the exif. If you take a screenshot then you get something with a smaller file size and the correct orientation.
>>23995007As long as they aren't nub ridden and if they're lined and have minimum effort I'll count them>>23995009Displayed. No. If you have an enormous backlog you don't need to worry about how many kits are released in a year either.>>23995010No excuses. You don't get to whine. There's still hundreds of kits you don't have from Gundam alone nevermind other manufacturers if you can't post a picture of 100 kits right now.
>>23994992>on my shelfStill no time stamp. Very easy to search through archives and pretend to be this guy.
>>23995014Find that photo in the archive then
>>23995010You can have opinions you just cannot be a whiny little bitch with them.
>same kit but new backpack >retail release and not P-Bandai You have to give Bandai credit for making out of season April Fool's joke
>>23995015>still no timestampFor someone who allegedly takes photos of his gunpla all the time, now that you're being asked to take a timestamp, you sure have changed your tune quite a bit.
>>23995012>Doesn't know how to use MSPaint or Photoshop, or photo resizingSounds suspicious as fuck but you do you.
>>23995022Is this just another excuse for you to cry?>>23995025Screenshotting is faster than opening photoshit and exporting the photo as a jpeg.
>>23995025It's not him, hence why he's refusing to post a time stamp.
>>23995025nta but personally I usually upload my pictures to a private discord channel then screenshot them then post them herethe screenshotting is mostly because sometimes the files are too big and no one really needs 4 billion x 68 gorillion pixels anyway from the raw photo so it all works out the easiest for me
>>23994675You know, I was debating the original MGEX Strike Freedom. Might as well get this instead for the fun Katana.
>>23995031That's actually the exact thing I do too. It's very fast and easy.>>23995030Cope
>>23994675EAT SHIT
>>23995021Yeah but it got new head and shoulder though, that will be +10,000 more yen please
>>23994705I like the different proportions they are going for in this AU (ignoring the surface detail crap on the right). Hope the rest of the suits are similar.
>>23995033Hope the price increase doesn't matter to you.
>>23994675FILIPINOS EVERTWHERE ARE CELEBRATING
>>23995035It's honestly retarded but discord is one of the most convenient ways to move small shit between phone and PC on the fly without having to fucking do anything else or use any other app
>>23995035>CopePost a timestamp and stop stealing this guy's work you piece of shit.
>>23995042It's also better than having to unplug my phone charger, move it to the PC and drag and drop the files. The picture quality suffers a bit but it's not so much that I care.
>>23995043Stop crying about everything. You would be far more productive if you didn't.
>>23995046nice AI timestamp, couldn't even give us the fucking date.
>>23995046why'd you draw a road with a boulder in the shoulder on your hand
>>23995050It's a part of the creative process.
>>23995046Dude please clean your laptop
>>23995046wait a sec bro where the fuck are your finger tips
>>23995054
>>23995054Yeah I'll do that today just for you.>>23995057Good lord
>cryingit's like i'm surrounded with filipinos here. they're the only.ones i know who like to spam thaf word.
>>23994966Have you seen the amount of accessories that the RG Ground comes with? RG 2.0 has a lot fewer if you don't get the P Bandai expansion pack
I am a casual and I make no argument against that fact.
>>23994673All that waiting for 4 (four(quattro)) reveals and this is the only one worth a damn
>>23995062There is nothing wrong with that as long as you're in it to have fun. Hobbies should make you happy.
>>23994679Chang, upscale this now
>>23995040It doesn't really. The only kit price has turned me away from is the PGU Nu.
free shield mod idea
>>23995019Is pointing out Bandai is charging almost double than the original MGEX SF for the new backpack, head, shoulders, hips and sword fair or is that whining territory to you?
>>23995070Woah calm down, he'll cry and say you don't build models
>>23995070It's crying because you wouldn't buy it either way
>>23995041Sorry gwitchtroon they'll acknowledge you next year right?
>>23995074>You aren't going to buy something that you didn't ask for, don't want, and is a total ripoffReally creeping up into that room temp IQ range today, aren't we?
would actually be a buy if it included old Strike Freedom parts/body along with Strike Freedom MkII and Proud Defender
>>23995057uuuuuuh breasts
>>23995078You don't have to buy it but throwing a fit about things you don't intend to buy either way is bad. Do you throw a little bitch fit every time you see a rolex? Why do you keep doubling down about how it's actually a good thing to scream and cry about things you do not intend to buy costing too much for you to buy on your neetbux? Why do you have to cry about it. What do you get from it?
>>23995076as a brown can you explain why your kind has such intense hatred of wfm?
>>23995066iirc there were already chang conversion kits of Ground Gundam for the 2.0 frame. dunno what happened to it.
>>23995079no. I don't like seedslop
>>23995084Crying about someone else crying makes you the bigger bitch. You should stop crying.
>>23995085the brazilian tranny axe wound is leaking
MG Calibarn... RG Ez8...
>>23995088I'm trying to help you. Your horrible personality is almost certainly hurting you in every other part of your life too. You could start with little things about not freaking out over the price of things you don't even want. Maybe eventually you could even calm down enough to get a job so you can actually afford things. You could even have the money and still choose to not buy something, without any tears.
Shut the fuck up already. Jesus.
>>23995093Stop crying man, nobody wants to hear you cry about others.
>>23995090now now do as Romans do we're all civilized here
Guys, Look at what I found!>Tiny, about 2 inches tall>Has GMs, Zakus and Acguys in the gacha>Hard plastic instead of that soft PVC shit like the 1/400 collection>Only $5 a popJust brought 30, if I get enough GMs and Zakus, maybe I can finally do jaburo or even A Baoa Qu!!Worse case I can use them as paint testers instead of spoons and pla plates.
Anyone who says they enjoy applying decals is a liar.
>>23995093>WAAAAAH
SEEDragers lost again
>>23995101You know the new tabletop minigame (Gundam Assemble) is coming out soon with minifigures that are posed right? Perfect for smaller scale diorama overall especially if you're on board with perspective tricks to work with their relative size to each other
>>23995102My favorite part is when I apply it, realize its the shitty kind of thick decal that needs 5 sanded gloss coats to flatten, lie to myself and leave it to dry overnight instead of buying a $3 chinese decal set online and then confronting reality the next day after.I just love waiting for gloss coats to fully cure, sand it down, and gloss coat it again (with the risk of damaging the paint job!) Its so much fun to have my paint station tied up for 2 straight weeks!
>>23994954I thought PBandai is cooked to order now?
>>23995115They intentionally overproduce everything to prevent scalping now. They have a ton of in-stock inventory at any given time.
>>23995117consider the possibility of what they make just ain't selling hence the mystery boxes
>>23995107I might get some of these if they're the right scale, specially the balls and oggos, but $40 for an RX 78 with no gun, 2 balls and a fixed pose GM is a bit steep. And thats before tariffs and scalperdiscount that we surely need to pay. Really, I kind of dig the Mini Kit's simple poses that look like they'd be really easy to snip up and repose with greenstuff. I'd totes get that zeong though.
>>23995117>meanwhile p-bandai at SEAthey really need to do that made-to-order shit here
>>23995117The Full Cloth just sold out last night so they must not overproduce too much.
>>23995120They literally had a Gilboa Geara Zulu that only lasted for 3 hours before it got sold out. I wouldn't call that shit overproducing.
A month after the release of the MSF, there's going to be a Pbandai expansion to convert the original SF into it. You know it to be true.
>>23995118That's a possibility. They also seem to be doing extra runs of everything after it sells out though. I think overall it's a better model than what they used to do. I think it's good to have a lot of stock on hand and sell mystery boxes to ditch overstock. It's certainly a lot better than never being able to get anything without hitting a tiny ordering window or dealing with a scalper.>>23995123They'll probably do another run of it a few months after this one then
>>23995123Full Cloth is a standard retail kit, I don't think it counts as much as you can buy it anywhere
>>23995111Shoutout the cheap Chinese $3 bootleg waterslides. The kind that start floating if you so much as sneeze at them. Saves so much time.
>>23995125it's much worse on hot items like the Hydra Gundam. that shit sold out instantly because of clickbots
>>23995054cutting mat backdrop undefeated strat for keeping anons from seeing my gross ass keyboard and empty cans behind my monitor
>>23995132They're really fragile, but any sort of disadvantaged is outweighed by the fact that they're so thin that one coat of gloss blends them seamlessly into the pla. I really hate seeing master crafted japgod gunpla that are completely ruined by the fact that they use thick bandai decals that have a clear cellophane outline that ruins all their hard work.
so now we can all agree this so-called leak was just complete and utter bullshit with obvious options that got lucky a few times and then people started bending over backwards to make it seem credible?
>>23995133The worse part about prebandai isnt the artificial scarcity. Its the expectation that you have to impulsively open their app every few hours to even have a chance at their common PB gated offerings.

>>23995144Umm sweetie Bandai doesn't make MG anymore, much less on a non-main protag suit
>>23995140It got 6 of those correct. The astray they got wrong because they probably assumed Bandai wasn't retarded enough to do another MG astray. They clearly got info that was correct.
>>23995140Maybe it was accurate at one point but things changed along the way cause Takeshi does what he wants the fuck Timmy gon' do? Like how RG GM, Gouf, etc. were planned at one point but only now we're getting that Ground Gundam.
MG Rising FreedomMG Mighty Strike FreedomMG Strike Freedom Type IIMGEX Rising FreedomMGEX Strike Freedom Type IIRG Rising FreedomRG Mighty Strike FreedomRG Strike Freedom Type IIMGSD Rising FreedomMGSD Mighty Strike FreedomMGSD Strike Freedom Type II+ clear color ver for each
At least RG Ground means we're very likely to get RG EZ8.
>>23995144That's just how they do non-protag 00 suits that arent the GNX.
>>23995140>obvious options>GN flagHush up now little Jimmy.
Takeshi won again
>>23995140Why isn't PGU nu checked off?
>>23995154The last time they made a 00 grunt in NG 1/100, the fm line hadn't existed yet and neither had any MG of the series, including the exia itself, so let's not use that as some kind of precedent or establishing patterns.
>>23995162lmao I was thinking of the graze they announced a few months ago. My bad.
>>23995115Scalper has a whole secret network to buy the stock no matter the limitation. Multiple scalpers can work together like a cartel to buy exclusive items in bulk.
>live gpg reaction to mgex announcement.
>>23995162MG is reserved to protagonist and consistent, popular rival. Reborns is nowhere near that qualification so it is not gonna get MG in the current climate.
>>23995170he's not as brown as he should be
>>23995170even the reddit defense force is shitting on bandai.
>>23995170Is that a positive reaction or not? Can go both ways
>>23995174but according to the powers that be japs are browner then brown (on the inside)
>>23995178>Can go both ways
>>23995178That's clearly a pained expression.
>>23995183What if its tears of joy
>>23995173Ginn and Dom weren't that long ago.
>>23995180That guy is korean.
>>23995162FM line is technically the NG or HG 1/100, they were called full mechanics line just to flex IBO Gundams having internal frames and MG like detail but not MGtechnically the Grazes are the last grunt 1/100 not in MG before RE 1/100
>>23995170This kills the Woon Ryu. I can even hear the muted pained ssibal...
>>23994725Wait what's the issueWas hoping that the price of the HG would go down with people flocking to the RG, but maybe I should just go with the RG as well>but my Ez-8 is HGSixty niggers
>>23995188>the GrazesHard to believe that the Grazes haven't been reprinted since. Me being an ignorant naive young boy, buying one just thinking it was a neat looking grunt, not realizing it would practically become a collectible for no good reason.
>>23995189kek
>>23995190this
>>23995195What the unholy fuck is thatI've never seen a torso like this before, or at least I fucking hope notPlease - gently - tell me what even happens if you try moving this freudian nightmare post-assembly
>>23995198You ever heard the sound of bones cracking?
>>23995140leaks are not going to be always 100% correct, leakers will mix in wrong predictions so Bandai won't get legally on their ass, and sometimes Bandai would mix up the release schedule to throw off the leaks. most of the leaks in the list were guessed correct anyway. they just slightly missed on what grade or variant it was
>>23995198better ab crunch supposedly. RX-78 revive also has the same torso assembly.
>>23995195>>23995198Moving the point of articulation forward would make the abs able to bend more without rubbing.
>>23995140Basically yes. Some kids here are still hung up on it for some reason though.
>>23995223epic ftw I understood this reference
>>23994694This one is nice.>>23994675Pfft.
My compressor keeps blowing air and making noises when i am not pressing down my airbrush, i feel like there is a leak somewhere, but idk? any idea maybe the hose, a rubber seal or maybe the compressor itself?
>>23995225I don't even like leaks anymore. They don't build hype. They just get turned into something autistic people can use to shit up the thread forever.
>>23995200I am afraid.>>23995207But I had no issue with the Revive RX-78But I also vaguely recall hearing that some chinkpla fixed the running issue for the Ground Gundam, although I don't remember what that was>>23995214But isn't that a good thing though, is there something else wrong or is it just a matter of (30 minute) preference
>>23994878it's got different shoulders and railguns, but surely that can't be the reason for the price
>>23995021This shit could've just been a P-Bandai conversion kit like they did for some RGs instead of taking up a whole ass MG slot. Fuck.
>>23995235It can be a good thing. It might end up working as a lever and applying a lot more force to a specific point and cause failure.>>23995232Get a spray bottle full of soapy water. Spray a little bit where you think the leak might be. If the leak is there then it'll make bubbles. If it's somewhere you can fix, that's great but you might need to replace it. I suggest starting with the hose fittings since they'll be the easiest places to replace something.
>>23995238>MG slot.Autistic headcanon about how the business is run
>>23995242That's how we figured out that there were 8 planets in the solar system.
>petrochemicals and raw material shoot up in price>We get a sloppy seconds MGI'm noticing
>>23995238>not capitalizing on the revival of their most successful AU by making it widely available through retailIt's like you don't want to make money.
>>23995246By having autistic delusions about why the company won't sell me the toys I want them to?
>>23995249All comes back to bad orange man as usual
>>23995251By seeing that 1 + x = 2 and then filling in the blanks. I know algebra is tough for you.
I'm more excited over school girls than whatever mg and hg they announce
>>23995255>There's only so many slots. I know this because of algebra
MG 30MM soon.
>>23994991Personally I think Roux should rape me nightly until I cum myself dead
>>23995257Bro, we get it, you don't have an inner monologue and cannot interpret cause and effect. You don't need to get upset and take it out on others.
>>23995268You're the one reliving middle school algebra class to explain why bandai only has so many "slots" and how they'd totally make things just for you if it weren't for some other release
>>23995255>we discovered planets and MG slots using algebrawhat in the /r/eddit niggerbabble
>>23995267That's actually really fucking neat.
>>23995223if the MG Ground Gundam came out today there'd be one guy pointing how Bandai messed up and ten others telling him to stop complaining
>>23994767People complain about Astray rehashing, but I don't think we've seen that many in recent years. We just have the freedom Astray and I think an RG that was released earlier this year, but aside from that it hasn't been that crazy. The Astray fever was a 2010s phenomena.
>>23995270>When you try to insult someone but you just come across as a genuine ignorant retard insteadKek.
>>23995178>mfw it's not the kit that I want Bandai to make.
It is bizarre that only one RG kit came out in 2026 though
>>23995276It's actually a pretty good kit despite its age.>>23995279It's because he's korean and he knows korea is gonna get all the factory defects again
>>23995235By introducing a new piece to insert into the peg hole and hold it in place so ab crunching wont pop the torso off
I don't think it's unreasonable to see the MGs dwindle down to as low as 1 release a year and assume that Bandai will not suddenly change their tune and dedicate resources away from other projects back to MGs
>>23995284read a book dude
>>23995284Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm a man .
>>23995285What you're saying is not unreasonable, but /gpg/ is being brigaded right now so attempting to say anything reasonable is foolish. Even making jokes is setting these retards off viciously.
>>23995281Except that it's coming out in 2027. We literally got zero RG kits in 2026, Shining and Wing Zero TV came out in 2025.
>>23994787Here's the thing though, I enjoyed G-Reco, but I still think G-Self was one of the worst designs in its own show. Nothing will change the fact that it's just an ugly design at the end of the day.
>>23995283Oh
>>23995291RG Ingram is the one RG of this year that I’m talking about.
>>23995285You can think this without freaking out about it for six hours straight
im ok with the RG Ground, the MG Ground needs an pdate anyway, will be waiting for the eventual upscale to 1/100. the 1/100 upscale RG crossbone will be arriving soon
>>23995286>>23995288Juniper Blessing sends his regards
>>23994685Oh my fucking God finally let's fuckin g->Rx-78-2 2.0 proportions I hate Bandai.
>>23995305It's made of rx-78 spare parts. Why would it not have rx-78 proportions?
>>23995207>RX-78 revive also has the same torso assembly.not sure why are you lying but ok
>Bandai teased CUHRAYZEE new announcements>MGEX mighty strike freedom that is literally just the MGEX strike freedom with a new backpack>RG ground Gundam that's a retool of the rx-78-2 2.0>MGSD slopI hate this company
>>23995309I knew I wasn't misrememberingBut also i-is that bloodWhat's that on the peg
>>23995311red painti think
>>23995310Your parents hate you too that's why they deadname you at family gatherings
>>23995311Looks like acrylic paint he put on there to tighten the joint
will this guy come to Bandai's defense every time? tune in next episode
>>23995316>only one person isn't an autistic bandairager
>>23995316Oh the guy who is now calling people trannies who are upset? He already does every time.
>>23995293You single btw
>>23995310>>MGEX mighty strike freedom that is literally just the MGEX strike freedom with a new backpackbut it also has a new forehead jewel and forearm armor!!!!! that's totally worth it!!!!
>>23995313That's not very woke of you Mr pinoy
>>23994474just primed the pieces of these I'll be painting and bashing together
>>23995329You're kitbashing all three kits??
>>23995292faggot
I dunno man I'm happy to never have to put with the Sneedfags asking for a MG Mighty Strike Freedom
>>23994474I finished this Full Armor ZZ rework of the original MG FAZZ based on an illustration from a Newtype 100% Collection art book. I didn't notice until I was done taking shots but I broke off the cannon's antenna at some point and it has left this dimension.
>>23995336I was actually thinking that Bandai would have release a normal MG Mighty Strike using the MG Strike Freedom base and the MGEX SF will get upgrade parts via pbandai. I guess this is Bandai's response when 3rd parties released a MG Rising Freedom
>>23995296>that v finYIKES
>>23994474>>23995339
>>23995336Shouldn't it just be a pbandai new release like the clear Strike Freedom was?
>>23995343huhnow that you mention it that's the V fin of the X2 not the X1
>>23994474>>23995344
>>23995339>>23995344>>23995349foken noice. Not a fan of the pose on the stand tho.
So no one is going to talk about this huh.
>>23995354This kit really doesn't "pose". It either stands until it falls over or looks like he's pooping because his arms and legs barely move.
>>23995355You have to buy the clear parts to go with it, I'm sure as hell not going to do that. Besides, I'm already going to dedicate six clear Action Bases for the existing funnels, why would I want to double that?
>>23995336Trying too hard to fit in, ahmed
>>23995355No one cares about that piece of shit.
>>23995339>>23995349Beautiful
>>23995012What phone are you using? File size to big is some BS, I have been phoneposting for a while and never had that issue. Just cut a sliver of the pic for it not to go sideways.
>>23995357It probably fixes the sideways tilting problem the PGU has
>>23995358you got your MG MSF now smile dog
>>23995362Pixel 8a. I don't think it makes a material difference whether I crop the photo on my phone or on my computer. Doing it on the phone is just an extra step.
>>23995362I stand corrected, 4 mb max image size and phone pics on my machine are more than that. I always shoot to cut and apernatly I always go under 4mb. Shoot to cut is better than a lame screenshot
>>23995369But why does it matter for a picture of a work in progress sitting on my messy ass desk?
>>23995364Mounting the funnels on its back is the most boring way to pose the thing.
>>23995368>>23995369I also use a pixel 8. Trust me, use it in landscape mode (horizontal) and crop the pic afterwards, it gets you better pics.
>>23995327>That's not v-ACK!
>>23995376I'll give that a try next time I finish something. Who knows when it'll be. I'm waiting on paints and newtype still hasn't shipped them after four days.
move over Bandai, the actually important new kit got shown off
>>23995380cute
>>23995339Sovlful color scheme. Can you post the source illustration you used?
>MGSD won again.
>>23995379Looking forward to you next build. I almost always use my phone cam in landscape mode, it's easier to get everything in the shot and there is a gazillion megapixels in phones these days so there remains enough picture if you crop it to size. I had to check because idc for modern phones but mine just says Pixel 8 in the about.
How do you keep track of the extra faces and hands from your figmas? I’m gonna end up mixing them all at this rate
>>23995396>figmas?
>>23995396Get a container with dividers in it. You can find them in the fishing section at wally world.
>>23995159He's LITERALLY autistic (like ACTUALLY on the spectrum in real life) so he thinks PGU and PG are entirely separate categories with zero relation at all.
>>23995396I don't do figmas, but all of my spare parts for Gunpla all go in a labeled bag. Currently that bag goes back in their box, but if I ever ditch the boxes I just need to tank the bag and manual out. Sandwich bags work for the vast majority of kits.
>>23995405So he thinks that they were making both a PG and PGU nu?
>>23995142Your only options are Square Enix Structure Arts but as someone who owns all of them I can say they are absolutely worth the money. They look great and have way more articulation than you'd expect. They also come with almost every gun you see in the game. Warning: there is one guy here who has a weird personal vendetta against them. He admitted he doesn't own any yet he replies screeching about how 'overpriced' they are (literally only $25 each lol...) and how 'shitty' they are for not being snapshitter-friendly. Disregard everything he says.
>>23995408Nah he just doesn't wanna check it off on his stupid image because he says it doesnt count. PGU =/= PG therefore the leak was wrong. Aspie logic.
>>23995388
>>23995408>>23995411PG and PGU ARE different things, you fucking retards. The leak said PG but the Nu was PGU. So the leak WAS wrong.
Does anyone have the GM Spartan RG kit by AK Model? How is it?
>>23995414It's higher quality than the Bandai HG according to some people
>>23995413>HMMMMM!?
So this is it, /gpg/ is getting filtered again with this whole PG/PGU leaks like you guys got filtered by that Zaku post.
>>23995414I have it. It's pretty good. Nothing that really sticks out that I should point out. It comes with cool UV reactive beam sabers.
OH SHIT SHUT THE FUCK UP ACTUAL GOOD ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING
>>23995420
>>23995420>>23995422YOOOOOOOO that sole anon must be giddy.
Symphogear plamo fucking when
>>23995436I'm fairly certain you can make like 80-90% accurate geahs at this point by bashing a bunch of 30MS girls and option parts together and doing a little bit of painting for better color accuracy.
>>23995412>>23995339>Skipped the green whiteCoward
>>23995444Their hair would be the hardest part. You can definitely make their outfits by kitbashing and scratchbuilding but the hair basically HAS to be sculpted entirely by hand.
>>23995413The guy never saw any grades. He was just guessing.
Genuinely excited for RG Gundam Ground Type. Easily one of my favorite animated mobile suits. Glad its not the EZ-8 cause it doesn't look nearly as cool as the Gundam Ground Type. I just wish it came with a beam rifle too, guess i'll have to steal one from one of my hg gundam ground types.
>>23995422imagine being the poor nigga who's job it is is to get strapped to the front of this fuckin thing
>reprint of the Super Gundam just as I have already bought the MK II.
>>23995471I just realized the guy on the right has a single-shot shaped-charge grenade launcher as his sole armament
>>23995470Isn't it in this? >>23994849
>>23994717if the giant backpack container is made to carry the gun, then why is it still wearing the backpack?why would you even carry a whole separate gun that you have to assemble in a backpack?do they take it out of the backpack, put it together, then put the backpack back on, or does another team member assemble the gun for them?
>>23995477They still has physical ammo at that point so you only pull out the big gun when you need it. They hadn't invented the subarms/backpack pointing of assembled guns yet.
>>23995476Im pretty sure those are from the P Bandai Gundam Ground Type with the parachute pack.
>>23995476Those are the accessories from the P-Bandai parachute pack for the HG Ground Gundam Revive.
>>23995476>>23995481>>23995482
>another MGSD release>it's still not a RX-78I want to talk shit but I'm impressed on that alone. How long will they continue on doing a line without it.
>>23995484>>23995482>>23995481Ahh, just figured they announced it already. Wonder if they are compatible like the MK-II HG stuff with the RG
>>23995484Lmao, I just got the Bootleg Slave wraith parachute pack and it comes will that shit + a GM ground type (or gundam groundtype if you're into it) + waterslide decals and it only cost me $15. Bandai can eat my ass if they think I'll falll for that scam.
>>23995488The only thing that would need to be compatible is the parachute pack, and maybe the hands being compatible but you can just recycle the hands as well anyway.
>Impulsively scroll Premium Bandai >Someone cancelled their Geara Zulu Sniper and it's up for grabs>Nab it>Insane dopamine rush for beating a scalper >Realize its the first time this year that I actually got to buy a prebandai kit>Realize how toxic this shit isThis premium bandai lottery has got to be some sort of special addiction, and I feel fucked up for playing into their slant eyed kike games.
>>23995414Pretty damn good. The only problem is that the v-fin crystal is fucking TINY. I strongly suggest you stick a piece of blutak on top of it until the day its done being painted and you cement it into the v-fin.The AK Grunt spartan comes with a modular rifle and the rifle is less good, the details are great but its clearly a custom and needs quite a bit of whittling to get it to fit right.
so i bought 2 gundam mk iiis from p bandai and i guess i wasnt paying attention and realized they're the clear color versions. Does paint adhere the same to these things? Really dont need clear color versions. If i can just paint over it it should be fine, but does it being clear affect it?
>>23995501Paint will stick to it fine.
>>23995501>does it being clear affect itClear plastic is usually harder and more brittle than opaque but there are no problems with painting it.
>>23995420Based
>>23995501aside from what other anons said already, just make sure to be diligent with priming to make sure it's a fully opaque layer and you don't have leftover transparent spots
>>23995508>>23995503>>23995505roger that. thanks fellas
>>23995491Cool story bro, nobody asked.
>>23995495Just buy a 3d printer lmao
>>23995528Give me the files then
I will never talk shit about the engineering of Bandai kits ever again after having worked on Kotobukiya kits. Holy fuck.
>>23995532To add, I mean their older Armored Core kits. They need a ton of extra work.
>>23995533That's why AC fans are more based than the average Gundam shitter.
>>23995495You could... just pre-order this shit like anyone else? What kind of dumb moron are you who thinks that people would still scalp a fucking 2014 kit?
>>23995528I will, but I'm still learning blender so its not worth it yet. In the meantime, I hope technology will improve so I can get a really nice printer when I'm ready.
>>23995535I did preorder it, it ships september.>Who scalps itIt was out of stock before I could buy it the first time around. Literally went from available to out of stock before I could get to my PC.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jzkl4iFMQIQKINOAurelius gives us the QRD (quick rundown) on how to close seamlines while having part separation for painting.
>>23995539Couldn't you just mask the joint?
>>23995539C-joints aren't new
>it takes RG 2.0 to finally make RG Ground Gundam So they gonna do Zaku 2.0 first before they going to do RG Gouf, right?
>>23995553They'll reuse the old frame
>>23995557Why would they do that when they're clearly trying to get away from using the MS frame?
>>23995553RG Zeta 2.0
>>23995559Its cheaper and Bandai hates tank shitters
>>23995582This is why they made a RG gouf and used the MS frame for it already, right?
>>23995584They literally waited 10 years and still haven't bothered.
>>23995586Is there a reality where you believe there's any reason bandai does anything but because they hate you?
lost a part so i made a new one
shitcrylics
>>23994474Finished the Banshees decals and top coat. Discovered that the last time I did dry decals I was overubbed them as these came off super easily.
>>23995608Realized that while this clear coat did work to cleanup the nasty navy blue plastic, that I don't really like the surface texture of the matte much. I can't explain why though. Really prefer GX114 or the GGX clear Matte.
>>23995608>>23995609Looks a lot better with clearcoat on it than it did bare. The flat does make it look a bit dull. Luckily you can put another layer of super smooth over that without any issues.
Recommend me a RG to start with that isn't the RX-78-2. Only have done HGs up till now.
>>23995609Also forgot to say the clear coat was Kaledio matte. Also saw someone else do some AI masking + background and decided to give it a try. The gun really confused Gemini, this took multiple prompts. >>23995611Good point, but might end up just leaving him as he might go in a box. Ran out of shelf space and I haven't figured out my plans of expanding it/ moving things elsewhere.
lmao the retards thinking the MGEX would ever have been any of the WFM dogshit or gundam x must just have some kind of humiliation kink
the next Metal Structure is rumored to be the MkII. the DLC might be the G Defenser to build the Super Gundam.
>>23995617Looks like shit desu
>>23995615RG Tallgeese. The point where RG's started to get good.
>>23995621it would be fucking funny if this thing is just as expensive as the Nu Gundam despite being much smaller
>>23995621Hopefully that's true so the Mk II Ver Ka is pushed back even further. So that leaves more breathing room for the Zeta Plus Ver Ka.
>>23995609What topcoat did you use bro?
>>23995645>Zeta Plus Ver Ka.never fucking happening just so you know
>>23995655zeta plus already is ver ka
>last reveals are Pokémon, nothing elseThat's it. THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO JAPAN AND BLOW UP THE NEW FACTORY SKY-HIGH!
>>23995648>>23995617
>>23995655Dreams can change the world.
I've been searching around, but do you guys know if there is any set that resembles or can be used to mount something like the EMMI's from Metroid Dread?I saw some Sheik Mainland but they have female frames.
>>23995672just buy the figma
>>23995661Dratini is my favorite Pokemon so that one specific announcement made my inner child smile
>>23995672Sheik Mainland would probably be perfect for what you want, actuallyhttps://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/sheik-mainland/products/3-minutes-planning-series-capcane-white-1-60-scale-model-kithttps://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/sheik-mainland/products/3-min-project-xenostrike-silver-ver-1-18-scale-model-kitThat being said I have no idea how these two kits scale with each other.
>>23995680Thanks those are close
I guess Figure Rise Standard is dead. Alongside the KR and Ultraman lines. T'was a good run all things considered.
>>23995687they certainly aren't going to make for the fag MC of ARXZERO
>bandai recycling molds and charging extra for that>retards are still going to shove that shit down their asses
>>23994474>>23995592it was a tad wonky so the tab wouldn't go in its slot, but it's functionally perfect now after a minor adjustment to the tab
Autistic question, but does a suit need advanced reactors to use e-pack based weapons?Like, can a sleeves geara doga use a zulu's beam machine gun or is it stuck with its CCA era gun?Iirc the beam bazooka had its own reactor so zaku's and doms could use it. Idk if that applies to other modern zeon guns.
>>23995661>still no Totodile kitFor fuck's sake
>>23995661man, not even FRS yugioh or the usual dinosaur shit?bandai is reaching new low
The head is not ping pong ball like RX 78 2.0, right?
>>23995714I think it is but it has a squared look cuz of the design that helps hide it
those reveals were fucking shitjust give me my HG R-1 and I can rest in peace
>>23995713shitpla will be getting a reboot next year so they're focusing on that instead.
Just snapped my first MGSD (Aerial), why do people fellate these kits? It was alright I guess, tiny parts hurt my hands. I have MGSD Destiny in the box fort, can't imagine it's that much better?
>>23995722>why do people fellate these kitsthey are chinese or philippinean
>>23995725the correct demonym is Filipinx, thank you
>>23995728flipoids
>>23995550whoa look at this gbwc builder in the general
Having an extremely tough time with the new HG Sandrock Custom EW. The torso pieces are not fitting together at all. I've never had this problem with a Bandai kit before.
>>23995733what step
>>23995734the entire thing
>>23995733dalong managed to assemble it; that means it's a you problem
Does anyone have any experience with third-party universal waterslides? Things like warning/caution, letters, numbers, that sort of thing. Delpi's selection is unfortunately a bit lacking and/or out of stock, so I've been trying to look up various Chinese waterslides but I haven't been having much luck.
>>23995743G-rework has some generic decals
>>23995693i think Bandai just wants to justify a price hike on the MGEX that's why it's 10k yen more expensive for an alternate backpack variant.
>>23995754not to mention they're doing away with the etching parts, so you're literally paying more for less!
>>23995693It's SEED, so that goes without saying. One could in fact call it irresponsible not to milk their cash cow to the utmost.
When is the new Bandai stuff going up for PO?
>>23995722Your only complaint is that the parts are small and hurt your fingers? There's plenty of entry grades and high grades out there with no details to molest your delicate fingers.
>>23995733Sand shit down a bit.
>>23995758I'm conflicted. I hated the etching parts, but I also detest that bandai is charging more for not only a re-hash but also less.
>>23995767Oh, apparently it's going to be in 2 hours or so
>>23995752Only caution I would have on these is the ones I got are randomly UV reactive despite not being labeled as such.
>>23995722Nobody like MGSD except for women
>>23995774Isn't even much of a complaint, but it was the only remarkable thing about the build. People say these kits are some of Bandai's best engineering in model kits, but the most impressive thing about this was the way the bit staves locked together, I guess? I just don't see the hype, plenty of older MG's give you more for less money, but at least I bought these on sale so I'm not exactly mad.
Everytime someone complains about MGSD they come across as grouchy old model boomers, shaking their wrinkly fists at what those damn kids like. MGSD are fine. They're not amazing, and they shouldn't blanket replace regular MG releases. But the line gained popularity for a reason, and it wasn't because of children or women.
I'll buy MGSD once they make sexy Gundams like the Woundwort
>>23995838I've sworn to only buy in as soon as they make MGSD Captain Gundam (I am actively trying to avoid buying new kits).
>>23995732Someone from this general taught me how to do C joints ten years ago.>>23995592>>23995702Nice work man>>23995615I'll always suggest RG Z'Gok, I really enjoyed RG Crossbone as well, and RG Exia was fine if you like 00. People complain about the shoulders but you can fix it easily if you're not a pure pure snaptard.>>23995844I never considered that but it'd be badass. I know a huge fan of Cap. Could make a clear resin copy of his hand, put a little motor in his forearm and some LEDs. Then make him able to do the spinning punch.
1/144 F90 when
>>23995849>it'd be badassRight? I just want some SD original designs to get the MGSD treatment. I think they deserve priority. Suits that already have regular MGs aren't even on my wishlist.
I look forward to the next MGEX and MGSD, hopefully disappointing
id only accept MGSD if they finally released Unicorn or Banshee in that line.
>>23995858I built the old MG Ryubei gundam ages ago, and honestly it hit way about his level for how good it was.You can't find that kit anymore.
>>23995312>>23995314Oh>>23995321YeahWhy
>>23994474my custom RX-78-2 fell and the V-Fin got lost with the headcrest. Whipped up a Dragonar-inspired head from my Windam HG for a replacement until I found an extra HG RX-78-2
>>23995876Wanna work on a group build IRL?
