I picked up the 1/144 HG Exia and loved it.  I decided to get the 1/60 because 
I like the design a lot and wanted a bigber kit of it.  I am holding off on the 
1/100 because I think a MG will come eventually.  I like the Virtue too.  I am 
wondering if the hair will be removable or if it fits under the armor.  I am 
also curious if the Virtue armor can actually go on the HCM-PRO Nadleeh.  From 
the pictures it comes with two bodies.  The one is obviously used to wear the 
virtue armor but is it just so you can pose the Virtue and the Nadleeh together 
or because the nadleeh can't wear the Virtue armor?

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).

        Are there any specifics you could mention that ended up turning you off
        to the Flag and Tieren?

        When I said 'first "new" MG', I wasn't counting (as always) minor
        variations and (esp.) recolors including metallics.  Actually the one
        that I really forgot is the Unicorn.

        I take the opposite angle, Zaku 2.0 must be a really kick-ass model if
        they are cranking out so many minor variants and recolors in such a
        short time (or they must be really stupid).

        The Flags and Tierens looked good at a glance, when I have time to
        scrutinize the details, especially from Gundam Base.Side 1 and
        Gunplablog, I invariably ended up hating them.
