Pics from Gundam Expo in Tokyo

[MrAwesome]

For those lucky enough to attend, the expo had every single Gundam ever created on display with a great historical timeline. It was last year during my trip to Japan, but I thought some members here would appreciate it:

A bunch more pics on my flickr.

If I remember, I think it was 1/60.

Wow....so this is something Bandai's gonna release on mass market?

Did they have a yen price on it?

I haven't heard any news about it yet. I think it was a one off model made just as a prototype for the 1/1 scale gundam. But I could be wrong.

I don't think it is. If you notice, that one doesn't have the same details, lines, and decals.

I still cry for everyday that goes by and the PG Nu Gundam isn't announced.

yes cause the one in my link is not painted and decals weren't put on...the Mega 1/48 and the RG 1/144 is based on the 1/1 scale Gundam RX-78 that is in Tokyo right now..and I have the 1/60 Gundam RX-78 in 1/60 scale which is a PG, the panel lines are totally different from the picture on this expo..here's a comparison pic..

A pg nu or hinu would be sick!!! My wallet cries at the though. Now I consider myself an above average modeler and I do completely spray most of my kits but when I look at these pics from the pros... Makes me feel less of a man!

Ahh, cool, thanks for the comparison.

Yep, a PG Nu would be great. I built a MG version. If they ever do make it, I hope they make the back wing attachments more stable. I'm hoping to save up and build a GP01 some day.

 

[godaiking]

Yeah, I kinda had a hunch it was the 1/48...due to the panel lines.

Thanks for the pics

Awesome thanks for the pics!!

I'm so with you guys wanting a PG Nu. Char's Counterattack is the icing on the cake for the UC saga and having a mammoth PG of Amuro's final Gundam is a NECESSITY for us all!

PG Gp01 is excellent indeed. I havent built a PG since the mark II but I've heard great things about it. Plus there's some great details like clear colored plastic over chrome parts that makes a great effect! Def if I get a of it'll be gp01. But if they make a nu... That would change my mind...
