For those who does not know the difference between the standard release of the HG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina & the exclusive HG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Amatsu. Here is a comparison image showing the difference.
And remember folks, the gold seen here is not what you'll get on either kit, its a painted example....all the change is in the legs ;)
ReplyDeleteless part, more expensive?
ReplyDeleteYou gave not accurate pictures, for they do not look as on pictures -_- if they would I pick up standard version lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the "Tsumuha no Tachi" triple claw (on the left arm) is missing. So yes, less parts in this release.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks I like amatsu mina better!
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 gold frame variants. Lore-wise, The first one is similar in form with the Red Frame, but with different armaments. Then it was upgraded to the Amatsu, then the Amatsu Mina.
ReplyDeleteKit-wise, when the Amatsu was released in 1/100 NG form, it was actually the Amatsu Mina (Perfect/Complete Form), and was later released as the HG Amatsu Mina (as in, piloted later on by Rondo Mina Sahaku, Gina's twin sister who was the original pilot of the Amatsu).
It's only recently, with the release of the P-Bandai Limited HG Amatsu that they are making a distinction between the two, probably to justify the "limited" variant, or, they incorrectly labeled the 1/100 kit to begin with.

What I found out was, this limited edition actually has more parts, as you can build both version above in one box.
