Can't wait to see the painted prototype of this guy. One of the coolest grunts
It would be nice if it had the Nu Ver Ka hands. But really, I'd settle for the 2.0 hands or the standard master grade three, one, and thumb hands. Just don't give us those parts swapping hands
why? part swapping hands is more reliable & more durable for posing just how many moving arms that work properly anyway, if said weapon goes above 15cm, where part swapping allows as heavy or long it is, as long the weapon handle has slot for hand nubs insertion
Yes and No. This particular style is with master grades designed by Katoki. By this style I mean small and slim torso/arms, and long skinny legs. This style looks good on smaller kits like the Gundams from Wing. But on these tall universal century kits I don't really like the way it looks.
It looks good in pictures, but when you hold the kit in real life it looks freaky and takes some getting used to.
But with all newer master grades they are slightly stretched vertically, which usually results in better looking proportions and a more stylish look. The new MG HD Strike is a good example of this.
I agree with Miguel. The Katoki leg proportions are just too thin and tall for my tastes
they better do something clever with the legs to make them bend over 90 degrees. also it would be nice if the 3 ammo packs on the right arm are separated and interchangeable with the one in the gun
I think they can actually make a Jegan (long overdue actually) though I'm not sure about its variants. Most likely well get either the Normal Jegan or the Stark Jegan. But both? I don't know....unless one of them becomes an online exclusive.
I agree, the fed suits are getting lots of love and don't get me wrong i like the design's of the fed suit's but now it's time for some neo zeon love <3
I think this is a good time to use one. Usually we get LED for suits with gundam eyes and mono eyes, which are small and you barely see them. But GM type suits have much bigger visors, which probably means the LED will be much more effective.
Now if Bandai would stop selling crappy LEDs, we'd be set
This will be my first non-Ver Ka kit of the year and I'm glad I wouldn't have to worry about the decals. It's looking really nice considering it's a mass-produced suit. The gimmicks are there and the specs of the suit seem ok. Just wondering though, Bandai uses clear plastic for the spherical psycofrme cockpits. I wonder if this one will be solid plastic (because it isn't psycoframe).
Its practically a Ver.Ka kit. Its a Katoki design and he is involved with the kits development. In fact he works on most gunpla releases these days in one way or another. They just choose not to call every kit a Ver.Ka, only the ones he has done a lot of work for.
The 5th photo is what I've been waiting for! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9pLVuwyizM/UVmBPWKTtqI/AAAAAAAEr0Y/uwGz_zQBP5w/s1600/666.jpg Proper kneeling pose FTW! I was very worried about that huge calf hindering the leg movement at the beginning.
For a spec ops Jegan, this thing looks really good, I had underestimated it and thought "meh it will have crappy colors like the Banshee", how wrong I was.
Now if they only would make the Jesta Cannon as an MG it would be awesome.
Remember when milk was $0.25? Pepperidge Farm remembers too.
It's called economics. Ever heard of it? As things get better, cost will go up along side. Just how advanced were those MG GMs? Sure they were the **** like 10 years ago, but Bandai can do things much better now. Prices are ALWAYS destined to go up because the quality of everything ALWAYS follows in a linear fashion. Minimum wage used to be about $4 during the 1940's. Its now around $8. Ice cream used to be maybe $0.02 in the '40s. Now they are ~$1 or more (give or take).
If you are against improvement in the quality of life overall, you might as well go and be extinct. Newton's 1st Law, every action has an equal opposite reaction. This ain't Burger King. You can't have it your way. So suck it up and stop whining like a little b*tch.
Gundam kits are not a necessity. If you can't afford don't buy it. It's that simply. If you are a American, our country has bigger problems then this. Don't you think gas prices being $4 and up is more important because it effects everything in our lives. Fuel prices is something too bitch about since we need it too survive, unlike a model kit. Get your head out of your ass
yes it's true model kits are not a necessity,for example i will never spend much money on kits if i have bigger priority...but it's also true that making a gunpla,it's one of the good ways to relax,forget for a while daily problems,and spend our time on a creative activity...in other word it's a good way to be happy for me....and after a lot of work i'm always proud of something that looks like how i want it to be!
its on amazon for 17 bucks ._. http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Origin-Activation/dp/193565487X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365257687&sr=8-1&keywords=gundam+the+origin
Bandai please give him those ver.ka nu hands.

Deletejust how many moving arms that work properly anyway, if said weapon goes above 15cm, where part swapping allows as heavy or long it is, as long the weapon handle has slot for hand nubs insertion
It says in the ad that it has nu gundam ver ka style hands
ReplyDeleteThat'd be pretty awesome if it's true. Either way, as long as it doesn't have those parts swapping hands I'd still get this model instantly
DeleteIT DOES HAVE THE NEW HANDS.
ReplyDeleteWhich means..... Higher probability for the new MG Jegan to have the new hands.... Yeaahhhh!!!!
DeleteThere is a a MG Jegan coming out?
Deleteguys be patient. the MG jesta cannon's bound to come out sooner or later after this. Just like the rezel commander after the rezel.
ReplyDeleteDAMN!!!!!!!! if that is true, imm gonna have to skip on the HGUC jesta cannon and buy the MG version instead
DeleteWhy skip when you can buy BOTH?
DeleteUhh, what's that censored/ pixelated image on the right side of the picture?
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming boxart. If it is boxart, the amount of white is making me quite nervous about this being a ver.ka.
DeleteIt's just product details, like in this example:
Deletehttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IkdRFXiLFAY/T1BniFGYDbI/AAAAAAACGz4/f_DuhIEDV28/s1600/11.jpg
Whew! Thanks man.
DeleteIt also says in the ad that it comes with a action base 1
ReplyDeleteactually it says that it will come with an action base 1 adapter.
DeleteIt's probably safe to say now that ALL MG UC that will be released from this day forward, will have the new Manipulators that the Nu Ver. Ka .
ReplyDeleteTheres a large chance, almost 100% that we'll see a MG jesta cannon in the near future. I just hope they continue making MSVs too in the MG line.
I think it could look better if they could somehow trim those leg proportions. too thin and too tall. hope they follow the boxart.
ReplyDeletethey do that with most MGs.
DeleteYes and No. This particular style is with master grades designed by Katoki. By this style I mean small and slim torso/arms, and long skinny legs. This style looks good on smaller kits like the Gundams from Wing. But on these tall universal century kits I don't really like the way it looks.

ReplyDeletei second that motion, a master MG improve on the HG... i'm looking at you unicorn
DeleteStill no prototype image, hmm?
ReplyDeleteY the knee feel like it can go destroy mode?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this means Bandai will start making the Jegan and its variants. My thoughts aside, the prototype looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI think they can actually make a Jegan (long overdue actually) though I'm not sure about its variants. Most likely well get either the Normal Jegan or the Stark Jegan. But both? I don't know....unless one of them becomes an online exclusive.
DeleteFinally! A prototype. And what's that? Hand manipulators like from AGE?
ReplyDeletehahaha, no, they're the same manipulators as the Nu Ver Ka
DeleteI usually don't care for prototypes, but this one looks really nice
Age hands? Are you blind?
DeleteThose are Nu Ver.Ka hands.
Blind? My eyes may be blurry but NOT blind. Know the difference brother.
DeleteGera doga please...
ReplyDeleteI agree, the fed suits are getting lots of love and don't get me wrong i like the design's of the fed suit's but now it's time for some neo zeon love <3
DeleteLED VISOR?! (in the prototype description)
ReplyDeletesomeone please elaborate, i cant read japanese and i just saw LED!!!
The LED compatible head was confirmed over a month ago.
DeleteLED will not be included though.
well of course, the comment was posted over a month ago...
DeleteMajestaic...
ReplyDeleteLED looks good, not that I would use it but it still looks good.
DeleteIs the LED unit included?
ReplyDeleteThe Jesta really does not need an LED, its nice, but its not necessary.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good time to use one. Usually we get LED for suits with gundam eyes and mono eyes, which are small and you barely see them. But GM type suits have much bigger visors, which probably means the LED will be much more effective.
DeleteNow if Bandai would stop selling crappy LEDs, we'd be set
Looking forward to seeing how it stacks up

DeleteThey just choose not to call every kit a Ver.Ka, only the ones he has done a lot of work for.
Let's just say that I wouldn't have to worry about those decals for the first time this year. :P
DeleteI don't know but that Jesta looks bulky. Is it really bulky in OVA?
ReplyDeletesorry to say this but it looks a little underwhelming for a MG.
ReplyDeleteagreed. articulation is awesome, nu hands, led gimmick, but still something is wrong. proportion? details? idk
DeleteSorry, but this is sexy. The colors, the box art, poses, articulation in the shield, it all looks good. Plus the Nu hands
ReplyDeleteShame the update day though: April 1st. XD
DeleteMG Base Jabber anyone????
ReplyDeleteYes please! The HG Base Jabber was really nice
DeleteThe 5th photo is what I've been waiting for!

I was very worried about that huge calf hindering the leg movement at the beginning.
MG jesta cannon w/ EWAC jesta parts
ReplyDeleteI'm really worried :(
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a hip joint built into the thigh...
I hope that they release the hovercraft thing that it was shown on way back when they first showed images of the Jesta during early Unicorn.
ReplyDeleteWait till MG Jesta Canon with base jabber release just like bandai do with rezel defenser unit...
ReplyDeleteI know it!!! you try to trolling us bandai!!!
For a spec ops Jegan, this thing looks really good, I had underestimated it and thought "meh it will have crappy colors like the Banshee", how wrong I was.
ReplyDeleteNow if they only would make the Jesta Cannon as an MG it would be awesome.
Remember when a GM-type MG kits cost less than 3000yen?
ReplyDeletePepperridge Farm remembers.
**** Japan, no, Capitalism, for making everything more expensive these days.
Remember when milk was $0.25? Pepperidge Farm remembers too.

to be fair, usd-to-jpy rates are the highest they've been in years.

DeleteFriendly reminder everyone! GUNDAM THE ORIGIN is out and we need to show our support! Get your copy today and make sure to PREORDER FUTURE VOLUMES!
ReplyDeleteThis is OUR LAST CHANCE to show Bandai that Gundam is still popular in the west!
This is the truth. And it is being sold for cheap. It's a real steal
DeleteExactly! If you have $100 to blow on a Bandai model kit, surely you can spare 16 bucks to support an excellent product on home territory.
Deleteits on amazon for 17 bucks ._.
