I also have some old MG’s like a ground gundam and GM that I want to throw together to get Karen’s gundam from 08th MS
I see that you too are a man of culture. I bought those two kits for the exact same reason, and just need get around to making a resin cast of the GM head so that I don't now have a headless GM on my shelf.
Last night I put in an order for the Ecopla MG Aile Strike, Ecopla EG RX-78, Launcher/Sword pack for MG Aile Strike, SDCS Gundam Base color RX-78, and Spinatio Saint Valkyrie type. This is in addition to the MGSD Aerial and 2 MS General kits I have on preorder, 3 partially complete 30MS builds, and MS General Greed which I started yesterday.
You could try printing out your own decals. That's what I did for the shoulder decals for my MG Gundam American Type build. I scanned the original EG decal, scaled it up, and printed it out on decal paper.
Listen, kicking mooks 10 feet into the air and then shooting them with the Bat-tank's anti-tank gun is perfectly safe because he's using rubber rounds!
#3 is entirely why I'm skipping the Switch 2, when I've previously had every Nintendo console since the SNES.
I think Rick Dom has beefier verniers on the back (because space type). There might also be a difference on the soles of the feet.
Back in Control, all the stoplight did was teleport you back to the entrance if you moved on red. That's way too easy for co-op though, so I'm sure Remedy changed it.
¿Por que no los dos? It's not like you're limited to only throwing one punch.
Centrists always side with fascists over leftists.
You can tell it's the HG and not the MG because it can actually hold onto the beam rifle! 13 years of Gunpla advances make quite a difference.
Instructions unclear, constructed a guillotine.
Without the Shin Ryusei Kochouken:
The ankles on this thing have like zero range of movement. 🤣 Also, the Shin Ryusei Kochouken arms are supposed to go onto 3mm pegs, but the seam lines end up making the sockets loose, so be warned that it might flop a little.
And with this, Bolt Gundam is the only Shuffle Alliance Gundam left for HGFC, although I continue to hold out hope for Rising Gundam.
bonus - guiz am i doing Spidey doppelganger meme rite?
For the most part, this P-Bandai kit is just a straight recolor of the MG 2.0 Zaku II, just with head vulcans and some extra weapons. You've got the fancy looking heat hawk, but also the S runner from the original 1995 MG Char's Zaku II for the sturmfaust grenade launchers (which I attached to the hips) and the 175mm cannon (not shown).
Incidentally, unlike, say, the Tallgeese 2, which had unique figures of Treize and Colonel Une, this kit does not actually come with any Garma figures. The S runner does, however, come with a pair of Char figures. So even in Gunpla, Garma gets screwed over by Char. I suppose that this, too, can only be blamed on the misfortune of his birth.
A couple of things to be aware of about this kit.
Still, those issues notwithstanding I otherwise enjoyed the build. Definitely deserves the MG label.
First build of the new year is the P-Bandai HGAC Altron. This is, of course, TV Altron which is the superior Altron. I'm normally all for ver Ka redesigns, but Katoki made a mistake here replacing the original folding shoulder mechanism for the accordian arms.
Also, part of the reason I ordered this kit was because I was curious how they gave it the ability to t-pose, because I have a MG Shenlong that I slapped the old 1/100 HG Altron shoulders onto and wanted to see if I could give it some better articulation there. Turns out the socket for the shoulder inside the torso swings up, instead of forward like with most kits. So that would have required completely re-engineering the MG torso inner frame, which, uh, is way beyond my skill set. Sad.

"It's just a windmill!" they said. "You're delusional!" they said. Well who's crazy now?!
Featuring Knight Gundam and Nether Gundam. Since I had leftover SD frames from some SDCS builds, I decided to 3D print a conversion kit for one of the Gundams of all time. Strictly speaking, it's specifically a CS frame conversion kit and not intended for the SD frame at all, with the arm pieces wedged against the shoulder armor having basically no articulation at all, and the legs and feet just straight up too bulky to even assemble on the SD frame. If this were any other Gundam, this would have been a problem, but the Nether Gundam has a flight mode, so here we are.
What do you mean, Mrs. Loheng-Rinko totally counts as a Seed kit! I'll fight anyone who disagrees in Gunpla Battle.
Anyway, the Strike is from the BB Senshi Striker Weapon System kit, but I wouldn't have been able to fit it onto her lap if any of the weapon packs had been equipped. Sad. Once I get the Skygrasper painted, because holy crap it needs it, I'll stick all the weapons on it instead and add it to the stand.
Whoof, that name's a mouthful. But anyway. This kit. I love it. The fact that it came with this entire display area, complete with tapestries in the back, is just so ridiculously amazing. Like, sure, this is based on the MG 1.5 RX-78, so the hands don't necessarily hold the weapons that well, but who cares? Just put them in the weapon racks and the Gundam itself in seiza.
Headon view:
Something I've been working on off and on for a few years. Ostensibly a 2xTallgeese conversion kit (one for each), although it really doesn't use very much from the Tallgeese at all, just mostly the limb joints. I found out later that this is because the kit was a rework of an earlier resin Kit that didn't use any Tallgeese parts at all to begin with.
My very first MG kit, originally built almost 20 years ago, newly repainted and equipped with the Seraphim binders and Neue Zwergs from the Effect Wings Snow White addon kit. Had to strip off all the original decals for the painting, but honestly the stickers hadn't handled 20 years worth of dust very well anyway. Also, the original hands were terrible at actually holding the buster rifles, so I put in some magnets to stick them to the forearms
Or, according to the manual "EAST INVINCIBLE", which is some jarring Engrish given how well translated the rest of it was. Now I just need Bandai to release a HGFC Rising Gundam so I can pose them together for the Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken.
Bonus: Nobell Gundam on a horse
Messer Zwergs are from the Effect Wings Snow White addon kit. The paint mixture I used ended up being more blue than I expected, but all in all it still turned out pretty well.
Bonus: there's something not right about this Snow White, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Rear view:
I already posted a pic of this in a mostly completed state alongside the Kiryu, but this can now be considered actually done. Mostly just a straight pallet swap (blue > white, red > blue, yellow to red), not including the stripes and shoulder armor. The stylized RX-78 emblem and the star field are actually custom decals I printed onto blank water slide paper, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Not pictured is the core fighter, which has also been pallet swapped. At some point I'll do a resin cast of the MG 3.0 core block and sitting pilot figure and replace the core fighter with them so that I can have the core fighter out on display too. Aside from that, probably the only other thing I might do is tint the beam javelin effect parts pink.
But you might open the cockpit again someday, and when you do, you'll be glad the pilot has color!
