The first clear picture of Dom vs Rick Dom, even better than the MG rare view pix. The difference in HGUC's back seem to be more pronounced than in the MG's. From this pic, I would now say: Rick Dom is _easily_ distinguishable by its "backpack", Dom's back mounted boosters are so much smaller that they don't count as a "backpack". > revive the "unpainted" pic on their box pic). But indeed the Black Trinity > set color with stickers looks sweeter. I like Black Trinity's purple and dark grey bazooka but Rick Dom's light grey vest. BTW is the Rick Dom kit's colors identical (not just similar) to the "0079 Ver" of MG Dom? And the pix prove me positively wrong on the one prediction I made. The set doesn't skim at all on gimmicks: there are 3 bazookas, 3 heat rods (2x yellow, 1x blue) and 3 complete sets of hands, plus the pair of grasped fists. So it's a real discount (> 21%) on the price when you get the Black Trinity set. A major (but welcome) surprise. > piece which probably isn't necessary for HGUC line design... I wish Bandai > is leaving space for, cross my fingers, MSV. About which MSV would you be thinking? I don't know any MSV Dom that doesn't require MAJOR resculpting. The recolor candidates would be Extra Finish, Char's Dom (who really cares?) and Real Type (even less likely than Char's). Personally I wouldn't mind if they retrocon/invent a completely new custom color scheme (how about Dozle's Dom?). Anyway it all depends on sales. We can pretty much predict that vanilla Dom isn't going to draw big numbers in US. On the entire GML, we might be seeing a grand total of 5700 Yens of purchase: I will get a Black Tri-set, you will (maybe?) get a Dom/Rick Dom set; Gus already told me he's not definite on it. And as I said before, I hear a tone of 0079 or Dom fatigue in the Chinese-based forum. PS: surprising (perplexing?) that Eva is enjoying an Extra Finish release. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
