I'd love to see PG style and scale Gundam action figures. Thoughts?

But you are still staring at a shrinking market in the face. I am
part of the fraction that will start to lose interest once 0079 is
done in HGUC. Bandai will have to do something very special for me to
buy yet another 1/144 Gundam (hmm Gundam + Core Booster pack would do
it for me).
In fact I am almost there already. The old Zock is very serviceable.
The old Acguy is clunky but it would be preferrable to a supersized
Acguy. EX is taking care of the non-humanoids; (Samson looks
fantastic!) oh I gotta finish the Gunperry.
So when HGUC vanilla Gelgoogs come out I will start to retire from
gunpla. Looking at that robo-sumo video from a while back, I could
help but think gunpla is really 20th Cen. kiddie toy, it's about time
to move on!
I have considered moving on at times too. I still get kits, but I honestly
could walk away now and not bat an eyelash. I am mainly a 0079 Era MS fan.
I like a few designs in other UC series. With the sole exception of the
Manga Astray, I actively dislike the direction the newer designs are going.
While I am a diehard mooneye fan, I could careless about the Seed versions.
And don't get me started on the new Gundams...
At this point I don't know what else I have to anticipate kit-wise. There
are a few I wouldn't mind getting but very few that are must-haves like the
MG Acguy.
My question is what dream kits does everyone else have that would reinvest
them in Gundam, or mecha modeling in general?
For myself I can say that I would buy any of the following kits:
PG Dom *** (Not that Glorious Series crap, I want a full on PG quality Dom)
PG Gelgoog
MG Gabthley
MG Jagd Doga
MG Denan Zon ***
MG Daghi Irusa ***
MG Kapool
HGUC GP-02A
HGUC Sazabi
HGUC Nu Gundam
HGUC ZZ Gundam
HGUC Xamel
HGM Alpha Azieru
*** These would actually be must haves for me
Outside of Gundam I would really love the following kits from Macross:
PG Size/MG quality - Fully Transformable SDF-1
MG Queadlunn Rau (TV colors)
MG Tomahawk
MG Regult with all the option packs
MG Regult Scout
