I have always been a mecha guy, but to my luck Gundam has never been aired in my country so i grew up with alot of mecha anime, but not Gundam. i finally got into Gundam with the Gundam: Origin manga. Char is such a Bastard... He killed his best friend to inflitrate into Zeon to be able to get his revenge from Zabi Familly... Then he became friends with Garma and killed him as well. Ok, Char had a grudge against Zabi family so that was understandable, but he was such a cold and calculationg man... Didn't care about being frineds with anyone, he just used people and threw them away. Char is the kind of guy, you don't want in your life. He is so horrible, that look he gave time to time '' i will £$&# up your life'' look... Man... lol

I was only into G Gundam and Gundam Wing. I watched a little 08th MS Team on Toonami, but that was so long ago I barely remember anything about it.

I bought G Gundam on blu ray, been planning to rewatch it.

Saw a listing for this new Deathscythe model/figure. I've been out of the Gundam game for a long, long time, but this one has my interest. Can anyone tell me if this is a figure or a model kit? I'd prefer if it were a figure, but the decals and the detail has me thinking this is a kit.

Third party daban gundam

i've been buying almost exclusively third party figs now. Daban has been an especially great godsend with them making figures out of the overpriced metal structure figs.

1st of all, Casval did not kill his best friend. He did not expect the Zabis to plant the B on the space shuttle. What happened happened so he has to take this opportunity to take on a new identity.

2nd, Casval now Char befriended Garma for the sake of getting close to the Zabis for his revenge. You might felt Char betrayed Garma but Char never did betray anyone. You can't charge an infiltrated spy for treason since they were a spy to begin with.

3rd, Char killed the guy in the academy because it would pose a big risk in his plans. But hey everybody knows who Char really is but just let him play his character out so that might not be necessary.

He did better in Zeta, but that guy isnt Char.

I’ve been getting a lot of non-Gundam kits lately. Breaking out of the Bandai bubble with mecha kits like the Zero Gravity Judge, thr SMAA Round Table Knights, Motor Nuclear kits, etc.

Still building the occasional Gundam kit though. But my list of “must-haves” is shrinking.

I'm not a big gumpla builder but the prices of those Daban kits are great

The strike was a little bit hard to build but the end result it's great

Be very patient with this kit. It's a great one, but those waterslide decals on the fin funnels are the stuff of nightmares.

yeah the only thing i even want from Bandai at this point is a PGU Nu Gundam and Sazabi. all these new Gundam designs just do nothing for me. i'm patiently waiting for my Nemesis and Asgard to get in.

I wanted the K.O. metal structure Nu gundam from AliExpress but the price it's ridiculously expensive for a fake Gundam hope we see more alternative in the near future even if it's from Bandai.

I'm also not into those new Gundams they look silly and the design it's lazy at best

Off topic I finally found an Amuro banpresto figure

i have the Daban 1/60 Nu Gundam, and the only problem is you can't fix the fin funnels on the suit at all(and some fitment issues here and there) it is a great kit. once you finish with the decals it looks just like the metal structure. the price is way too steep but i was patient and got mine for $350 so it wasn't too bad.

i prefer this over megahouse. but the white base will turn yellow. the figure is glued onto the base peg. i broke it up so i can use hydrogen peroxide and whitening it back it turned yellow again after few months.

had to drill holes and insert metal tubing to replace the pegs

Also saw the megahouse ver. When I was checking for a figure (by the way didn't know that all the amuro were so expensive) The paint job it's pretty good on the megahouse But that new style wasn't for me, probably cause it doesn't look like the amuro I remember.

Yep the ichiban kuji it's glued to the base but looks pretty stable to me, it's unfortunate to know about the yellowish problems on the base hope it doesn't happen to the space suit to
