Regene lies still upon the cot in his quarters and considers his options.

The simplest, of course, would be to do nothing.

chapter 2 is up! regene makes his move.

[reversemoon255]

So I’ve built 25 model kits and done 10 various upgrades over the past year, both kits and original. It’s a decent head above the 27 I did last year. And like last year (or technically the start of this year), I’d like to go over the kits I’ve done this year and give some brief thoughts on some of the move interesting or personal things I’ve built. It feels like a good way to round up the year.

GAT-XMAGI Striking Gundam Warlock

The first model I built this year, and the biggest custom I’ve worked on to date. I’m still very happy with it, though at this point, having moved onto other projects and having done some work on the PAX with my 30MM stuff, I’m not sure I’m going to “finish” it. I was supposed to make a transforming unicorn, lion, and phoenix that become different Striker Packs for it. I may eventually get around to doing that, but I don’t know when I’m going to get around to it.

Gundam G40

Maybe my favorite kit I built this year, and also the first I built this year. The best way I can explain it is it does everything it can to be different, but every way it does is interesting. It’s hard to explain, but it’s probably the highest recommendation I have on this list.

RMS-099BC Build Γ Gundam 

I built a small handful of P-Bandai kits this year, with Build Gamma being the first. I did a good bit of work on this one, and so did the designers. It has reworked joints to increase its posability, and has some fun reuse of its old parts. An excellent kit if you’re willing to spend the extra to get it.

神竜合士 Avalanche Valkylander 

Another example of my liking gold paint way too much, but turned out pretty great. My one thing I wish I could fix is the hilt of the sword, which is a darker red. I actually got Gundam Red shortly after doing this kit, too! Still, I really like this as an upgrade kit, adding a ton of additional armor to the Valkylander and allowing you to display both it and the Dragon Mode separately. Kind of wish they had a second set in white for the Ex.

RX-78TB-2 [SB] Gundam Stormbringer

My first MG Gundam in forever! I had a lot of fun building this one, but I probably should have tried a little harder. I did everything with a panel liner, if I remember correctly, and I should have done my usual fill stuff at the very least. I think I was somewhat intimidated by it, so if I do any more MGs, I’ll be sure to give it the treatment it deserves.

RX-78-02 Gundam Early Type (The Origin Ver.) 

I put a lot of work into this one, considering I don’t like it. It’s not bad, but I find it way inferior to all the other RXs I’ve built. And I built a LOT of RXs this year to compare it to. What weirds me out, though, is how everyone I’ve talked to seems to really like this kit. Difference of opinion, I guess.

AGP-X1 Alus Core Gundam 

The Alus Core might be my favorite of the Core-Types we got over the last two years. The head design, the effect parts, the overall design. It also feels the most solid of all of them, improving on the Core’s design while not going too far like the Core II did. And it’s upgrades are pretty cool, too.

JMA0530-MAYBD Wodom Pod + 

This was a very fun, very good, very surprising kit. Despite its odd shape, it’s honestly one of the better kits I handled this year. It was a very fun build, ended up being a super posable kit, and had a bunch of odd features that ended up being for the the eventual Re:Rising Gundam.

PFF-X7/N8 Nepteight Gundam

Probably my favorite of the Core Gundam’s Armors. I got to use a ton of my favorite shade of gold on this one, and I really like the gimmick. It’s also kind of hilarious how little the Saturnix, Uraven, and Nepteight were actually utilized in the actual show, having brief appearances in a single episode each, and not even being used for the entire fight.

Figure-rise Standard MetalGarurumon (Amplified) 

A huge improvement over WarGreymon, as it’s just as cool a build, but way more posable. Which is actually pretty impressive, considering it’s a quadruped, and that’s a much harder set of articulation to nail down. I also like how he has an original sword gimmick, and WarGreymon has an original shield gimmick. Super looking forward to Imperialdramon next month and Mugendramon after that. (But please do Dukemon or Shoutmon next!)

RX-78-2 Gundam [Beyond Global] 

Another one of the amazing RX designs to come out this year. While I still prefer G40, this is a close second. Ever time I talk about those two, I always suggest getting both of them, since they’re both so similar yet do the same things in totally different ways. They are amazing companion pieces to each other.

GAT-X303K Gundam Aegis Knight 

Re:Rising Go! Despite my love for Re:Rising Gundam, this is mostly on here because of how much work I put into the shield. I mean look at it; I made it super pretty. Still, five separate modes, decent posability, a great design. Justice Knight edges it out as a solo kit, but if you’ve got the team, it is a great topper to a good show.

PFF-X7R/ANIMA Gundam Anima [Rize] 

Definitively the best release of the Core Gundam. Has the most interesting of all the Armor sets, great accessory integration, and comes with a ton of parts you can use for customization. If you only want one, I’d say go for this over the Earthree or Uraven.

GNY-004 Gundam Plutone

Fon Spaak rides again! The Plutone has always been a design I’ve enjoyed, and it’s cool getting a physical kit of it. I’m actually glad it took this long to get to it, since it ended up being a stronger kit due to more recent philosophies about parts layering and posability. It probably would have been a bit better if they hadn’t tried to incorporate some of the old HG00′s design ideas as well, but the good far out shadows the bad on this one. It is P-Bandai, though, so wallet beware.

30MM eEXM-0Smk-III Alto Stark Kai II 

I built the base unit back in January, and in December I finish its fourth incarnation (Base -> Stark -> Stark Kai -> Stark Kai II, if you’re wondering why 2 is 4). It also took me a year to actually be happy with how it looks. It just took so long for it to stop looking like an Alto and more its own thing. It’s also the only real custom project I worked on this year. There’re so many custom projects I want to work on that I just don’t want to sink the time into at the moment, which is definitely something I’m going to have to work on in 2021.

Overall, while not every kit I built this year was a winner, I built a lot of good kits and had a lot of fun with them. I hope some of you were inspired to pick a few up this year. Maybe try some painting things you weren’t originally comfortable with. And if you built some cool stuff this year, let me know and I might try grabbing them next year.

[kimarisgundam]

You said you like a "asshole in a gundam" Are you shading Mcgillis XD

I was actually referring to Fon Spaak, but I guess 90% of the gundam characters I like are kinda asses in their own way 😂

Everyone in 00 was talking about serious stuff like politics and war, but Fon was just like "haha I like to make things explode :) " 😂

I had such a huge crush on him when I was in middle school, but I kinda realise that he's a bit of an ass now 😂. I still love him though 😂

(And I still love McGillis too even though he's also an ass 😂)

[krovski]

Mmmm I’ve forgotten how much I loved Fon Spaak as a character.

Gotta go reread those OOF manga ye

boukenuniverse replied to your post: Any gundam series you dislike?

((ooc: I’m not the biggest Heero fan. He got on my nerves so bad, but everyone around me liked him.))

Like, I think it’s adorable he doesn’t know how to introduce himself to people so he just says “I’ll kill you,” even if that’s also tragic/bad writing, but like

Christ Heero eat something! How can a military lab rat like him be so malnourished? Those biker shorts do not help him at all. 

Legitimately, the only reason the Zero System works for him is because...he simply just doesn’t have any emotions for it to take advantage of. He is a blank slate, to say the least, and that’s why it’s operable to him. And...if that’s not a glaring sign of his character flaw, than I dunno what is. It doesn’t help that Glory of Losers and Frozen Teardrop seem to imply he’s a generation zerox of the actual Heero Yui, which...I find hard to believe, but it’s also Frozen Teardrop (which Glory of Losers is connected to), so I don’t care.

I really, really wish they’d gone for the angle the first episode had where he was laughing it up as he shot down the Aries pilots that were chasing him. That would have been really interesting and there technically is a series where we get an axe-crazy Gundam protag (00F, his name is Fon Spaak and he is a nutjob and it’s just as glorious as you think it would be). But you know, “I’ll kill you”, he whispers in Relena’s ear after tearing up her invitation to her birthday party, wiping away her tear with a single finger, and then walking away. That’s what we get instead.

Where can i read English version of Gundam 00F and Gundam 00P?

I need more G00 in my life. 

[armandg]

Before I delete this on my phone's storage, I might as well post it here.

GNY-004 Gundam Plutone

So I stopped half-way through my photo shoot to read all of Gundam 00F since I pulled it off the shelf. I didn’t even mean to; I was just thumbing through looking for good poses for the Plutone, and I ended up reading it all. I forgot how much I like Fon Spaak. A seemingly insane criminal who also happens to be possibly the smartest person on Earth? That’s a fun character idea.

The Good: This is definitely an odd beast. The general parts-layout and polycap use feels like it’s trying to emulate the older 00 kits, but then there’s a bunch of modern parts layering and color separation. Considering how long it’s been since a new HG00 kit was released, and despite the attempts to copy the older kits, this definitely looks newer. And that makes sense, as technology has improved. That does mean it looks a little strange next to the older kits because it has a ton more surface detail.

It has good posability. Those attempts to make this more like the older style impacts the ankles a bit, and the shoulders are a little blocky, but everything else is good. The shield can rotate 180°, all the rubber parts are fairly thick and stay in place, and it has a detachable Core Fighter that utilizes its chest cockpit and GN Drive.

The Bad: It does have those minor posability issues, and the slight discrepancy between kits, but if you pick up a few spare decals it should look great next to an RG. All my longer Beam Saber blades were crazy bent out of the box, but that’s probably just a personal issue.

Honestly, the biggest issue with this kit is it’s P-Bandai. While the kit wasn’t that much more expensive than a normal kit, going through import shipping and middle men brought it up to around $70, which is not something a lot of people are going to pay.

The Details: While most of the panel lining was typical black, those areas near the GN Drive and GN Field ports are done in metallic green. I did a ton of black fill on this kit, from all over the legs, inside the shoulders, in the chest, and the separation between the collar and the shoulder spikes. Any black you see was hand painted. There are a few tiny drops of yellow and red here and there, the most prominent of which being the red on the horns and shield.

Overall, this is a good kit. I’m a big fan of the Plutone’s design, and am very happy with the final product. However, it is P-Bandai and might cost a bit extra because of it, so only go for it if you have an attachment to 00′s side stories.

[kimarisgundam]

Based on your icon I take it that you like 00? Was your favorite character Ali?

Ali as in Ali al-Saachez..? WHAT. NO. NO WAY. I know that everyone thinks that I have bad taste, but my taste isn't that bad omg!

He's such an ass! Like, I know a lot of the characters I like are asses, but al-Saachez really takes it to the next level! He's so evil that even I don't like him >:U

My favourite characters are Graham Aker and Fon Spaak. Because Graham is a very normal and nice person. And Fon is cute 😂

[kimarisgundam]

Who is your favourite gundam pilot?

Hmmm that's a hard question to answer cos I like so many characters 🤔. I guess my top 2 favourites are:

1. Fon Spaak

(I had an anime crush on him when I was like 12. All my custom gunpla are painted bright red like the Type F 😂. And I obsessively collect all versions of the Type F including the metalbuild...)

2. McGillis Fareed

(@AllMyMutuals YA'LL ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING. I just really respect his piloting skills. That fight against the Kimaris Vidar was 2 against 1! Macky was out numbered, but he still put up a food fight!

Plus he's voiced by Sakurai! He has the power of Sakurai and Agnika Kaieru on his side 😂. So all of you are not allowed to judge me.)
