in my case, I've completed the 1/144 line of 00 (so far, up to the Graham Flag), and what I can say is that the designs grew on me. of the four, I actually like the clunky feel of the Virtue, which has translated well into model kit mode - it's so good, in fact, that I have now reserved the 1/100 kit, just to get the Nadleeh. I'm also getting the 1/100 dynames but am not getting the Kyrios or the Exia in 1/100 - sorry, but from the kit manuals, they're just bigger versions of the same construction and design - nothing much new, unless you count the 1/100 Exia having beam sabers for all four beam hilts - that's not a good enough reason for me to throw away money.
Also, am convinced of add-ons, since the Kyrios has two "mystery" polycaps hidden by armor plate in the back legs - at the exact spot where one would need support pegs for that large bomb/rocket pack it carries at times. another is that both the Astraea add-on parts and the DYnames calves have these slots to mount the DYnames pistol packs. I'm expecting a lot from Dengeki and other mags for these extra goodies. It's either that, or we'll have ver.2 kits, much like the Gundam X kits. Speaking of the GN Arms - I feel that it's the bastard child of the G-Falcon and the G-Defensor. I'd not be surprised if it is used by the Kyrios while in flight mode (which would make the kyrios look like a Strike Valkyrie on steroids).
