The Next Real Grade!

Hi Guys (^-^*)/
Big surprise, the next model in the RG line is the Aile Strike Gundam from Gundam SEED! I’m very interested to see this as a finished product. I’m curious how Bandai put the RG touch on the Strike Gundam. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on any further news! I hope it can fit all the 1/144 Strike items. I believe it has been set to come out in April 2011.

Also the Gundam Unicorn’s HGUC AMX-009 Dresissen (Sleeves Ver.) will be released on May 2011. O(≧▽≦)O

  • HGUC RGM-89De Jegan (Ecoas Type) on April 2011
  • Mega Size 1/48 MS-06F ZAKU ll, Includes all weapons : Zaku bazooka on March

    RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR'S ZAKU ll Sample Review Part 2

    RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR’S ZAKU ll Sample Review Part 2

    I am building the RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR’S ZAKU ll. I am very excited by this release!!!!

    Overall, the articulation for this model is very good. Almost all the parts can do a 180 and 90. With the great articulation comes great playability, but what Exia has taught us itsthat too much articulation leads to loose joints. So far so good on the MS-06S Char’s Zaku ll though.

    All in all it is a reasonable kit, but I think I may have been expecting more from BANDAI on this model. BANDAI really can do better than this though. I will buy 2 more the MS-06S ZAKU for MS-06F Zaku ll and MS-06RS Shin Matunaga’s Zaku.

    Hope you guys enjoyed this review!  Thank you!!!

    RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR'S ZAKU Sample Review Part 1

    RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR’S ZAKU Sample Review Part 1

    RG 1/144 MS-06S CHAR’S ZAKU

    The RG MS-06S Char’s Zaku ll will be released for $31.95 in December on Gundamplanet.com. I am grateful that I was able to acquire this sample kit from Bandai Pro-Shop. I am going to be building this kit and documenting my progress. I hope this will serve as a great preview before you can all get your chance to buy this kit.

    As the second model of new series in celebration of the Gunpla 30th anniversary, Zaku appears with the “Real System”. The design is created on the assumption of 1/1 scale. Adopted the “Advanced MS joints” which have new assembling process of inner structure. “Realistic decal” has luster like metal which is difficult to express by paint. The color coding is excellent compared with any other 1/144 scale models. The “Advanced MS joints” are designed to recreate the astounding movements of Char’s Zaku. They have the widest range of movement in the history of Gunpla. By the adoption of “Touch gate”, the pipes are easily assembled.

    Below you can see the runners for a 1/144 scale RG Zaku. A thin and dark pink is used and is near perfect as an animation color!

    Unparalleled coloration reproduced in the 1/144

    There are a lot of parts on these small runners for a RG 1/144 scale

    Multiple color molding of A-Runner

    Accessories include 2 black cable tubes for the leg cables and decals metal foil stickers. I seldom use any sort of stickers so most likely I will be painting those parts.

    C, G-1, G-2, F-1 of  Runner

    B, D, M of Runner. This part is the weapon, Main power Cable for the body.

    The multi-insert casting technology used in the Real Grade special inner frame allows simple cut-and-use assembly while preserving full range of motion for reenacting your favorite GUNDAM and Char Zaku scenes.

    E of Runner

    You can see the metallic color stickers. It is a sheet of decals with metallic color stickers including silver, gold and copper; one is also pink for the mono-Eye.

    Above is the leg and the shoulder, duct on the side of the head. Its like building a Perfect Grade and Master Grade scale kit but a smaller scale. It is an amazing technique!

    Thank you, Bandai! It is an amazing technique!!!

    2 springs Runners

    The scale is much smaller than a Master Grade but it is really detailed. I seldom use any sort of stickers so I will most likely build and paint. So do not wait a single moment and buy this kit.

    The number of parts
    The number of exterior
    The number of moveable
    The number of joint
    The number of colors
    The value

    Having an inner frame “Advanced MS Joint” which makes it possible to move dynamically with fewer parts and assemble stress-free.
    The success of having many colors to others makes it look more realistic.

    5 main points of RG RX-78-2

    1. The interior construction up till now has been changed by the “Advanced Joint”.
    The “System Injection’” have evolved further, for use within the interior frame of RG. Just by removing parts from frame, the interior frame gimmicks and movement range that surpasses MG has been achieved. With the number of parts on the frame reduced down to only 12 items, allowing a stress-free construction.

    2. The new decal, “Realistic Decal”
    The high- quality decal to express the realistic trexture, the “Realistic Decal”. With the foil and marking merged as one, a brand new decal that has been compressed down to a single sheet. The decal with special material will give a weightier feel to it with more realistic expression.

    3. Color separation expression never seen before in 1/144 scale.
    By expressing the precise parts separation linked to the exterior parts of GR 1/44 RX-78-2 Gundam, an exterior color separation that seems realistic has been achievable. Even the pickiest of modelers will approve of the result.

    4. Core FIghter can transform and able to be stored within the main machine.
    The first as 1/144 scale to have the capability of full transformation from the Core Fighter to Core Block fully reproduced. Furthermore, it has ability to store within the body of Gundam itself. Plus, it has a special joint used that prioritizes movement, managing to achieve the needs of both points.

    5. Using 3 types of frame gates to increase the level of finish.
    “Canopy Gate” minimizes the whitening of the plastic as you cut parts off the frame
    “Under Gate” prevents leaving traces of the gate on the parts surface
    “Kusabi Gate” to allow you to work with separated parts easier
    The combined use of these gates directly improves the quality of finished product at plain construction.
