  1. This is basically what I think the Double Bullet should've had..

    2 guns (each on its wings) and then 1 gun in the center. He looks like a turd the way he is now. Maybe that's why Double Bullet didn't get much air time?

    3. Double Bullet is fine the way it is STFU

    4. If you have the HG Age-2 normal just put the DODS rifle in the DB's hands like most modders do. The AG's rifle might work as well since its the same size, but I haven't tried it. Can anyone confirm this?

  3. I disagree anon 8:36. The entire kit is sexy! XD

  4. It looks like its missing the side pieces on the rifle (that differentiate it from the standard Clanche) and the head looks like the visor is too big... like its the original Clanche visor slapped on the Custom.

    I'm sure they'll fix this for the final release. Regardless, I love this model! :D

    1. What makes you think they're going to redesign the kit at this phase of process? Are you brain dead? The kit will look like what you see in the pictures above. Don't like it? Remodel it yourself. Sorry, but I'm annoyed by your presumption that Bandai would modify a kit because of your freaking opinion...you're delusional.

    2. Looks like Blayden was right Anon, they changed the rifle design and the Visor in the new pictures.

    3. Simple oversight. But please refrain from calling complete strangers "brain dead" for things like this.

      The FIRST preview picture had the visor and the side pieces on the rifle correct. The second preview pictures didn't, which struck me as odd but since it was a PROTOTYPE preview, I didn't worry about it too much.

      The new pictures solidified this. :D Please don't be brain dead before posting angry posts at strangers for reasons you didn't research.

  6. Is this the first box art featuring the Diva in it's assault landing mode? Is this the first box art featuring the Diva at all?

    1. After looking at all the previous box art on the Gundam Wiki - http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/High_Grade_Gundam_AGE - I think you're right.

      And while I think the boxart is completely BAD ASS the fact its missing a key character (Obright and his Genoace O-Custom) makes me despair for the chances of his model...

    2. I am gonna die of sadness of they don't make Obright's O-Custom i love the suit especially for the head design

      Delete
    3. Dude as much as wed all love a O-custom, right now doesnt look so likely considering HG Khronos, HG Fawn Farsia, MG Double Bullet have possibly been scrapped.

      HG AGE 3 normal & Gransa, MG Dark Hound AGE FX AGE 3 Normal have all been announced for release, whilst the above are already or will probably only be available in either AG or possibly HG .

  7. Gah... the 3rd Age sucked, but Seric was a real badass. I have to get this.

    1. Ahhh, Age-3, one of the few cases that I loved the mass produced units over the Gundams (V's Zoloat, SEED's Ginn, 00's Flag) and the only other case that was due to a sucky, IMO, name-sake Gundam (the other is V)

  8. Freaking great box art!

  9. I agree with Christoph, the only good things about the 3rd Age was Asemu and the Dark Hound, Seric and the Clanche, and Obright. Clanche Custom is a must have for me. All I need is for Obright to get some love from Bandai and get a HG release of his Genoace from the 3rd Age.
