Agreed. The proportions on this kit are amazing, really want it in 1/100. In regards to the head on the box... maybe the box is just longer than the standard RG boxes?
Anyone else noticing how it's holding the shield in the fourth pic (with the beam saber)? It looks like it's capable of holding it's shield in it's hand without a forearm support. I can see pros and cons to this arrangement. I don't think I've ever seen a Gunpla capable of holding it's shield in it's hand independently from the forearm. This adds a lot of extra posing possibilities by adding that one feature, however, there's also a very good chance that the wrists wouldn't be strong enough to be able to support it perfectly. Still, that simple design feature excites me, and I hope it't included in future kits.
The face plate. Looks like the two vents (which you usually have to line) are cut out like on MGs like the Nu Ver Ka and 2.0 Gundam. Are these the first RGs to do this?
A little disappointing for me: Looks like we're getting clear colorless plastic for the eyes and all the cameras, and on the coreflighter (it was green in the line art). The RG MK II had clear green for everything and I think the RG Zeta did to. This could change though
These are ridiculously beautiful, and a real treat for 0083 fans like myself. Is anyone else drooling when thinking about what the RG GP03s will look like?
Nah, '02 just seems to bulky for RG. But then again, they need 3 models from '83, but '04 isn't very popular for some reason. Of course, it would look great in RG!
I think people just like the GP03 more than all the other units. Plus the GP04 and GP00 never made an appearance so not many people know about them or expect to get kits of them (love both of those designs though)
I'm not sure about the GP02. Like the above commenter said, it might be too bulky to pull off. Would make for a great release though. Definitely would be the best RG bad guy release yet
Wow.. I really like the updated design of GP01 and FB. I do find RG amazing but they are too small for me. Hopefully their MG version won't keep us waiting for too long.
The camera on its head is big as it deserves! On the HGUC was way too small! This one here ROCKS!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely awesome, but on a random note, doesn't the head on the box look a little closer to the center than previous kits?

ReplyDeleteI hope the skirt won't fall off easily! Maybe they have improved this one!

ReplyDeleteOH GOD NO! The GP02 shield was independant and it was a nightmare for the fists.

fist we need the GP02 don't you think

All RGs with vents on the face have had them already cut out.
DeleteGP03 is the worst looking MS in all 0083 IMHO. The GP02 really needs the Real Grade treatment. Too bulky? I don't really see the problem

ReplyDeleteGive me MG version3.0 Zephyranties!
ReplyDeleteGato! Show yourself!
ReplyDeleteLoving this kits, and I hope the GM Custom and GM CannonII gets RG treatment. As well as the GP02, Gelgoog Marine, and the GM Quel.
