The master Gundam is one amazing kitThe only downpart about the MG is that it can't use the cloack with it's wings.
As promised, a small review on the 1/100 Providence Gundam.
First off I really like this kit. It's no MG, so movability is less, but normal 'HG' posability.
Assembly is easy, like all HG's. I never really studied the Providence in the series, so I was surprised how cool it acturally looks.
- The head has the same mask that Raww has. I never noticed this before, so i was pleasantly surprised. It looks really badass. It radiates evil.
- The chest is massive. It's about 150% the size of an average MS (if not bigger) and the tubes attached to it really add to the coolness.
- The arms and legs are standard for 'HG' releases, so they are good. The hands are the 2 part hands that are made to hold the gun. No movable fingers.
- The armaments are way more numerous then I thought. I thought that it only had 3 DRAGOONs (the big round ones), so when I saw that there were 11 funnels I was psyched. I'm still working on a way to display it with the detached DRAGOONs like the Strike Freedom FBM does. That'll look sick.
The beamrifle/cannon looks great. The handle is made in such a way that it can be posed on the shoulder by simply adjusting the angle of the handle.
The beam saber-unit is nice as well. I didn't remember this from the series, so it was a surprise.
I can only conclude that this is a very nice kit that'll look great on a shelf fighting the Freedom.
-------------------------
The MG Impulse (which is very cool) and the MG Alex had a sort of contest thingies inside the box.. anyone an idea what it is about? (even if it is for japan only, i'd love to know)
A thing I found out in the kit of the G-falcon unit with the Double X Gundam, was that the Double X misses a lot of weapons that the 'normal' version of the Double X does have. It's all on the same runner (F), so I'll just order that runner on HLJ :P
EX Archangel kicks major ass. The kit itself doesn't need a single drop a glue, but the miniature gundams do. The kit is molded completely in white, so painting is a must.
Cool, thanks for the Providence review. Question though, how does it compare to 1/100 Legend?
I dont know about MG Alex, but I think the Impulse had something going on called "Phase Impulse". Not too sure what it was all about except that it had a very Gundam Evolve-ish video where all the rumors about the MG in fall being one of Athruns units.
You can order individual runners from HLJ?
I don't have the Legend, so I can't help you with that.Originally Posted by vejita613
The MG Alex had the same thing as the MG Impulse, so that can be it.
You can order individual runners at HLJ. In the FAQ is all the info you need.
Wow!!
Who can possibly find enough space for that?
More expensive than a PG, longer than any other kit and the box is HEAVY!
Thats pretty sick, if i had the space i would get it.
Hey all im still alive just busy with life, that said still collecting models my 00 collection is rather nice after just 1 season of the show but heres for u dark.

This is the one Amuro uses, the karaba assault ver.: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN949482
In gundam evolve he uses the same one, I believe..
The A1 is on my to-buy list.
How do you make the panel lines btw? with my gundam marker there is no way I can make them so fine..
Its very simple use ur gundam marker on it the fine tip one. then use a towel or ur finger whipe away excess n if u do it right u should have filled line but not bleed over edges. looks a hell of alot nicer.Originally Posted by Harima Kenji
yeah, cool, but i don't really care for any justice, at all.
In a way, Im happy, but in a way Im disappointed. I really would rather have the original justice first before having IJ. The current 100 scale IJ is already satisfactory as is. But whatever. Im suprised Gunota hasnt announced this yet.
For those who havent gotten a MG strike freedom yet, theres an extra finish version coming in sept. (although, honestly, who actually gets extra finish models anyways?)
