  9. Yeah that's not the Astaroth. Not sure why the Internet thinks it is.

    1. Like with the Gusion/Gusion Rebake; there's the Astaroth and the Astaroth origin. This is the latter.

      Perhaps you are thinking of the former? Technically, the "Astaroth" is a rebuild since the armour had to be sold off, whereas the frame was kept, then later modified with other ms parts. The "Astaroth Origin" seen here is the original form.

  10. 11 images down, second mecha from the left...new Hyakuren? Very similar, but likely under a different name.

    1. Yeah. It's a customized Hyakuren called 'Triaina;. It has a top-hat and a butterfly knife.

  11. Is it just me or does the V-fin not match the illustrations? I definitely prefer them pointier.

    1. Yeah, small things in the 1/144 kits tend to be chunkier to avoid being broken. You can sand them to a point though.

    2. Yeah, things like that tend to be chunkier on the 1/144 kits. Makes them a little tougher to prevent being snapped.

      You can always sand them to shape.

  12. I wish they would do a whole calamity war model kit series, with all IBO Gundams in their original form!

  14. Those shoulder fins are very reminiscent of the evangelion units.

  15. so, what we can tell from the most recent pictures, which are the pictures of the kit unpainted and without the stickers, the white on the v-fin is an actual white part.

  16. This is suddenly crossed my mind, but what if Astaroth condition is like demon demoted from it's position to be weaker demon? And Argi's journey for searching Astaroth scrapped parts is like journey for Astaroth can back to be powerful demon again? It's like:
    Origin => powerful demon
    unknown black astaroth => wounded state
    Current Astaroth

    What do you think? This is just analogy though.

  17. I thought the shoulder armor will formed a huge bastard sword, since astaroth is all about big sword. Oh well...still gonna buy it anyway xD

  18. seems alike like Gundam Justice from GSD.

  19. WOooo much better than the white one!!!

  20. Can't wait to repaint it with protagonist colors.

  21. This thing will look so cool next to my HGUC Sinanju and HG Red Frame (probably buying an Astraea F2 ASAP)
