Shame its not MG but nevertheless its good enough for me
ReplyDeleteI can't say that this is all that surprising, but I am just not a huge fan of the design. I was more hoping for something like the Geara Zulu. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI like oversized HG kits. Makes them more affordable and more ways to mod them.
ReplyDeleteWhere this could’ve easily been an MG, why bother making an RE mold when it shares similarity to the MG Geara Doga or a zaku?
ReplyDelete0080 getting some love!
ReplyDeleteBURGER!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely gonna get this one :)
HERETIC BURGER!!!
Deletethis would have made a really nice 2.0 mg
ReplyDeletehmmm this doesn't look good at all, I think I'll still get it but I'll also get a MG Zaku II and merge them to make a pseudo-MG Zaku II Kai
ReplyDeleteNah, it looks good. You just don't like the proportions.
DeleteAbout time to be honest. :/
ReplyDeletePity it's an RE but at least it exists.
So.. From the looks of it, they just made a HGUC revive in 1/100 scale? Nice but, if only they could set this up for the HG line.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else thing the torso is too big?
ReplyDeleteI am TORN on this. On one hand, it looks aesthetically cool and the PC plastic is thrown out the window, and I'm not mad at all at the proportions (it could have been the animation model, trust me.) On the other... I built the HG version of this guy, and this just looks like a beefed-up HG. But my biggest gripe comes from what could have been. What SHOULD have been. A Master Grade that commemorate one of the most heartfelt, tragic suits, maybe even the most tragic, in the entire franchise. That's all, I'm gonna go eat a burger. For Bernie.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what people are complaining about regarding this guy not looking good. It looks screen-accurate af and articulation-wise judging from those photos, it looks pretty poseable for a RE100 which is essentially a 1/100 HG.
ReplyDeleteI agree, and at least bandai give us alternate head with commander horn and different helmet to make it different in case they make this as HG revive down the line
DeleteMy goodness, the articulation, build structure and detail looks AMAZING for a RE/100
ReplyDeleteAND THE BOX ART
It looks like the good guys are in mg nowdays and the bad in re100...atleast bandai is fixing the re100 which are now having functional inner frames than just inner blocks..they could easily modded the zaku 2.0 frame for this just like they did for the aoz mg line up by using the mk2 inner parts.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it time for an MG 2.0 of the Kämpfer? I think that's a more iconic enemy mobile suit that would go well with the MG 2.0 Gundam Alex.
ReplyDeleteActually the zaku left an iconic final battle scene..the kampfer just showed how good the chobam armor was.
DeleteWell tbh, the design of Kämpfer didn't really allow it to have a crazy articulation. That's why I don't really think that we would have MG 2.0 Kämpfer.
DeleteActual we may get a 2.0 kampfer..just look at the side ms for articulation. Just like the alex, Who would thought that bulky armor would led to that good articulation and dynamic poses.. just pray bandai doesnt do it like 10 years apart..:p.
