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
I 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.
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.
hopefully 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.
These 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.
The 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.
Judging 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?
Does anybody read the comments before they post? The same bit of into was repeated like 20 times. But 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
Definitely the old mold. Parts numbers match this image: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10008278z/70/1 I tried to match with the "contents" image at 1999.co.jp, but the sprue they're showing is behind the one in the picture.

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:

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).

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!

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??

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.

Just to be anal I compared the part numbers in the graphic and the 1999 kit's sprues. These are DEFINITELY the 1999 kits.
