Methuss: - One replacement part to realize the MA transformation. (my translation) - Attachment the connecting part which produces the connected scene of hundred type Mega bazooka launchers. EX Magella Attack Tanks: Two complete tanks to a kit, one Desert specs, one general specs. Four infantry included. The design is KATOKI VERSION. The Desert specs has sumookudeisutiyaziya, I would take a wild guess and call it smoke launchers. The General specs has the conventional tail pipes. > The interesting part of Gaza C is that the mass-production type is actually > more expensive that the Haman custom, as it comes with a stand. I suspect - Reproducing the deformation to MA form with part replacement. - The LED installing possible space is provided inside the head, the イジル element is included. - Each power pipe in order not to become the interference of mobility, reappears with エストラマー. - As for right hand the grip hand of rifle and beam saber, as for left hand attachment the grip hand of beam saber. - The ハマーン machine and the twin stand attachment which can be decorated together. イジル (iziru or ijiru) stumped me, I am pretty sure エストラマー is "elastomer", for all intents we can call it "rubber". And ハマーン is Haman. > the coated Qubeley is a movie-special, or else there's no purpose to exist > due to the special-coating Qubeley that has been around for years. With second processing such as painting and plating, the heavy appearance which to former Plamodel does not have with only the assembly, reproducing the high-class impression. Normally I don't retranslate Babel Fish, but this an exception: With two-step processing involving painting and plating, (we) produce the weight and classy feel that was not possible by snap-together-only construction of the previous plamodel (Quebeley Extra Finish). > The Gryps War set looks like will have special stickers. How'd you figure that?

II, maybe > Baund Doc (eventually!) Ahh... you caught me pants down. I can't connect "bingo" to THAT list. I shouldn't have come across so strong. In hindsight, practically everyone had made several lists like that, so I was begging to be caught. The real question is ARE YOU HAPPY your bingo list is getting checked one by one? Never mind "surprise" or not, "lead" or not. Or even argue over if MG Nemo counts as a sign of dicklessness. No, actually I want to explore that... Is HGUC Methuss dickless? Is HGUC Gaza C (two versions) dickless? What about Haman's Gaza C? It's a recolor, and MINUS a gimmick, so it must be the poster boy of dicklessness? Personally I am VERY happy with the direction Bandai Hobby is taking. A good mix of Seed/Destiny and UC, reasonable mix of new kits and recolors/repackages, throw in a few "ha! you thought we forgot about it already" kits (0079 Acguy and Dom) and generally try to break some "rules" or try new ideas (however minor they are). A few things that I like: MG doesn't have to be humanoids (Balls) Transformers can involve part changes (it's a matter of taste, if I can't have both looks and full-transform, I'd take good look over full-transform) Recolors can be launched at the same time MG/HG/HGUC can include more gimmicks for play and display (and cost more Yens): Acguy's vortex, Dom's bazooka effect, landing gear for Methuss, stands for everyone A little extra help for modders: Gaza C's head can accomodate LED Let loose the "standard" color schemes (Dom, Gyps War Set), not that I've seen anything I'd buy yet, but I could be tempted to buy a new Titan's Mk.II, Char's Zaku and even Blitz Gundam if they tweak the color scheme. And I think the biggest and best trend is: recolor/repackage/variants don't slow down the release of completely new designs. Take the current example: we have Hazel Advanced (minor var), several Zeta extra finishes, couple of MG 2.0s and Murasame/Akatsuki variants, but we are also getting the Gabthley, Palace Athen and Nemo. > And the rumor of HGUC Psycho Gundam Mk.II is quite strong now over in one > Chinese forum....
