I'll be very brief:

LED light space reserved? wow, when was the last time we see it in a
1/144 model.
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).
I wonder if kits like Hyaku-Shiki should be consideried 2-step
processed coating... one for the silvery plating and one for the
yellow overcoating.
The Gryps War set looks like will have special stickers.
How'd you figure that? I saw the comment "changed color scheme" but
how did you clue the stickers?
My bad. I was just thinking maybe it'd have extra sticker like other
HGUC boxsets (Operation V & Doms).
As Core didn't remember my bingo, here it is again:
Z II: Hambrabi, Gaza-C (check), Gabthley (check), Nemo (check),
Massala --
one of them would be in MG line first, I guess (big check!)
Z III: Methuss (check), Palace Athene (check), Psyco Gundam Mk.
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....
Based on what? Wishful thinking? Or "signs" like GK or HJ/DH polls or
interviews?
Based only on there're more traffic talking about it and in general
in Asia aread they do pick up more info. I'm just reporting the event
of it.
