  1. Cool, I like red and white gundams

    But am I the only one who gets annoyed when they see Wing Gundam TV/Anime Ver or Wing Gundam Zero TV/Anime Ver? If you ask me, this is The Wing Gundam, and should be addressed that way

    1. It says TV ver. because there are a Ver Ka. and a EW ver. MG kits as well, and while been escencially the same one, it is not the case for the TV version.

    2. I know that. But the T.V. version is THE Wing Gundam. There is Nu Gundam, Nu Gundam Evolve Ver, and the Nu Ver Ka, but you don't hear/see people calling the original MG Nu the "Nu Movie/OVA/Anime Ver". They call it the MG Nu Gundam.

      In this case we only need to differentiate between the MG Ver Ka and EW Wing Gundam, because they look so similar. There is no reason to call the Wing Gundam "Wing Gundam TV Version", because it is the Wing Gundam, the original.

      I think it's a matter of respect, to call the originals by their correct name, and the variations and redesigns the EW, Ka, 2.0, HD, RM Ver and so on

    3. While I do share your point, the "TV ver." on the kit it's merely not to confuse builders who got their hands on the MG ver ka before this. I can put the same example for the Nu gundam. Since it was released first, it did not needed of the title "OVA ver." simply because it was easier that way. But since the Ver Ka. was not the original Okawara design, they HAD to put it anyway. Same happens with Unicorn. There is no "novel ver." or as you would say, the original. Since the novel's mechanical designs were katoki's, they just went with the usual ver ka. but when the OVA came, they released it as "OVA ver." anyway. For people, it is simple to name this kit "TV ver." just not to confuse other people who say that the ver ka. is the original, because beleive it or not, there are gunpla fans that had not watched the anime series before.

    4. I see your point, but it still annoys me. Even looking at the box of the master grade, it's addressed as the master grade Wing Gundam. I suppose that's enough for me
