Just wondering, how can these guys be exclusives when originals weren't released yet? Like if one of them was a regular release I would understand if the other is an exclusive
ReplyDeleteI agree seeing one as an exclusive and the other a regular release would make more sense. They could also be releasing them standard in puke gold and bland silver or grey.
DeleteThey're the old 1/144 kits from turn A, not new hg kits. Look em up.
Delete@Unco:
DeleteSince I don't see "HGCC" (much less "HG") before the scale in the name, I assume they'll be using the following models for this exclusive:

http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN74437/Gun
And the 1/100 model can't be made an exclusive... unless they make it silver (or reduce it to the standard "gold"/"silver" they use in 1/144-scaled models).
Bandai release them as 1/144 no grade kits in 1999. I wish they would have updated them as HGCC kits, but sadly this might be the closest we'd get to an updated version.
DeleteIt's based on old 1/144. That's why.
Deletethere is an old 1/144 sumo kit. it might be a recast of that.
DeleteI think it is the old HG Turn-A, not a new HGCC.
DeleteI'm noticing that it doesn't say "HG", so these are probably chrome plated versions of the old 1/144 kits from 1999
DeleteThe 1/144 Sumos have existed for years and years now, these aren't a HGUC release.
DeleteThese are both OLD 1/144 kits. Thats why it does not say "HGCC" anywhere.
Deletehopefully it means that non-plated versions will be the regular release. It doesn't make sense for them to note that the kit is plated when the only thing released has been a 1/144th NG and a plated 1/100.
DeleteThese are probably the old molds from way back in the day.
DeleteAh I see, makes sense now. Thanks for the replies all!
DeleteThese 1/144 kits will have nub marks all over the place since there is no undergating. Other than that though they aren't terrible. I definitely think they could use a HGCC update but these aren't steaming piles.
DeleteThe 1/100 Non Grade SUMO on the other hand is a steaming floppy turd right out of the box. Pretty much as bad as the original MG Zeta 1.0 and MG Gelgoog 1.0 kits.
I think it's the original old non hg kit not something new
ReplyDeleteGold and Silver plated -- does that mean they might use undergates for them??
ReplyDeleteJudging from the pic I would say no. I don't know what to think about this. Do we buy buy these in the hopes of showing Bandai that there is a market for the SUMO to get them to make a HGCC SUMO or do we skip it in hopes of making them realize we want a a HGCC SUMO?
DeleteEasy. They might just be releasing plated versions of the old 1999 No Grade SUMO kits.
ReplyDeletethe original was a non-grade kit from way back when
ReplyDeleteNo grade kits, gross :| oh well.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody read the comments before they post? The same bit of into was repeated like 20 times.
ReplyDeleteBut just in case, Bandai released a bunch of Turn A no-grade stuff in the late nineties. These will likely be remolds of those old kits. Lolz
comments have a delay from the time they are written till the time they show up. its not too much of a stretch that at least some of the replies were made when there was nothing there
DeleteDefinitely the old mold. Parts numbers match this image: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10008278z/70/1
ReplyDeleteI tried to match with the "contents" image at 1999.co.jp, but the sprue they're showing is behind the one in the picture.
Just to be anal I compared the part numbers in the graphic and the 1999 kit's sprues. These are DEFINITELY the 1999 kits.
