Wow I've seen all of the anime associated With UC and the all the Alternate Century series except for Turn A(Nothing to to do with not liking it, just waiting for it to be officially if it ever gets picked up). I have no idea what this MS is or what any of the other suits you guys are talking about. I'm assuming that those are from the manga, novels and games which I haven't read or played. And I thought I knew relatively everything there is to know about Gundam.
I would die a happy man if I could get my hands on an HGUC XekuZwei. Or any Zeta Plus. Or Nero. Or Nouvel GM III. Or Refined Barzam. Oh god, or FAZZ. Hell, anything else from Sentinel. Gundam models are one of my few mindless consumer outlets.
@Anon 11:42: it's time, then, for you to be introduced to the wondrous photo novel Gundam Sentinel, set between Zeta and ZZ, and originally put out in serial format by Model Graphix magazine in the late 80's. Sentinel is still widely praised for its more "realistic" approach to MS design and "mature" narrative style. It's notable as the vehicle for Hajime Katoki's breakout debut as a mechanical designer for the Gundam franchise. It also features my personal favorite Gundam design, the Ex-S Gundam.
Check out the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_Sentinel Also, Gears Online is a great resource for all things Sentinel. Check it: http://gearsonline.net/series/gundam/sentinel/ And I'm sure you'll be able to find an English translation of the novel itself with a little online sleuthing.
I'm so glad Sentinel has finally been getting a little more merchandising attention lately through the StandArt and Converge product lines. Hopefully that translates into new models! Basically, I'm a slut for Sentinel. Final point, the model featured in this post is the Silver Bullet from the print novel serialization of Unicorn. It's historically linked to the Gundam Mk. V from Sentinel and the Doven Wolf of ZZ fame.
+ 1 for everything Sentinel. I've got everything HG or MG Sentinel related, but I'd always like some more. I've always been hoping for a Mk. V in either HG or MG form. Let's see if Bandai is kind to me. :)
I'm a gundam fan yes but each and everytime I read that ARX part in the Silver Bullet's number, the only thing I really think about is the ARX-7 Arbalest or the ARX-8 Laevatin... and I can't think of this as a mobile suit...
@JustPassingThru: You sound so pretentious. The ARX serial number could be a reference to number different things for example the Roman Citadel that was in the ancient City of Rome. Full Meal Panic may have had similar reasons to use that serial number.
You suck so much ballz why don't you go judge modelers who are better than you while you lie to yourself thjat you can do better because you know apparently your life is so sad that you consider Gunpla to be the most important part of your life. Go get laid. For someone like you animal count...maybe a pony.
@Anon 11:31: lol pretentious? I don't get what's pretentious in that. I'm just saying it reminds me FMP more than it could remind me of gundam. Like for example when in a group conversation when talking bout mecha model numbers, if the ARX model number is said then Arbalest will be the first thing in my head, not Silver Bullet. I get your point though that the ARX model number is not specifically limited to FMP alone.
@Anon 11:35: me lie? No I never claimed in any post that I said I was a good modeler... honestly speaking I never tried making a custom gunpla, and yes people ARE better than me in terms of that, and I won't hide that... but then again... so what? That doesn't say anything bout how a person is given the right to appreciate or discriminate on something just because one is unable or able to do things that another can. Also, neither did I say that it was the most important thing in my life. I do post a lot of stuff here but a lot of you anons are doing the same. Trying to sound high and mighty or rightful cause you might have gotten insulted or whatever during the GWBC PH post I made(since it's the last post I made prior to this) or just trying to piss me off, then try harder. Oh and yeah, I will judge modelers whenever I get the chance. So yeah... :3
Hell yes.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Bandai, stop dicking around and give us Gundam Mk. V (and, while we're on it, everything else from Sentinel) already.
+1
Deletei have waited TOO long for a mk V.
+1 Yes they should I am so hoping they might release Xeku Zwei as well.
DeleteFAZZ, NERO oh and maybe RG EX-S for proper transformation too

I'm actually pretty excited for you.
Weird formatting there around the middle.

DeleteAbout f***ing time
ReplyDeleteHope Bandai won't cheap out and include the GM head in the kit.
ReplyDeleteP-Bandai HGUC 1/144 Silver Bullet (GM Ver) is coming, bear with it
DeleteInverse of that would actually be more painful. GM type silver bullet for regular release and p-bandai gundam type silver bullet
DeleteOh dearie me
Yay, I don't have to kitbash this now. I'm really excited about this release. Actually, I could see the P-Bandai release on the Funnel test type.

ReplyDeleteI know the thing looks awesome in the art but it really does look cute as a model.
DeleteIt is kinda endearingly dopey looking, isn't it?
