he just looks like it was built wrong

his head is so tiny, almost like a Eureka 7 model

8:54 is meeeeee

this is the required post to ensure this topic doesn't purge forcing me to create an entirely new one

i still haven't done dantalions backpack arm system

I've made like no progress lately

Backlog is still like 15 kits deep

got the build fighter stuff and the new shin burning

and all nicely put away on the dusty backlog shelves to sit until i get off my ass and finish dantalion

i like that one better in pictures, i think. he's goofy looking, certainly, but in person it's just like, boring?

i don't put unfinished kits away unless it's just like weapons i never bothered to build because i didn't want to pose with them, so i can't really put this one away until i finish the backpack arms

built an arm

what's ur favourite grunt / zaku-like?

The Zaku Warriors from Seed are a cool update to the original design

i'm partial to beargguy

but i guess that's not a grunt, but is based off of a grunt acguy

nvm i'm thinking of juaggu from unicorn

figures why not lean into a sort of xbox theme since i got the xbox logo itself and chief there, and this guy can just make a green x. he's also just cool, in general, and he was sadly on the bottom behind a bunch of bigger things so he just was not ever seen

i don't know what to do with this guy, he has extremely limited movement and just kinda looks dumb regardless

out of curiosity, i looked up a review and clicked one at random that wasn't a video

On the ground the ZII is fine as long its not attempting any dynamic poses. It is a slightly top heavy kit and while the feet are larger than normal they are also much narrower with a smaller foot-print. Combined with the limited ankle movement this makes posing the ZII on the ground a bit of a chore.
Well, this machine was designed only for space use anyway, so lets just get it up on an action base and fix that. Easy fix for one issue. The other is not so fixable.
The weapons. Im mainly talking about its gun weapons. The beam sabers are fine, but trying to get this kit to hold its ranged weapons in any interesting poses is an incredible challenge. The crux of the problem is that these weapons are just not designed right for this mobile suit and that unfortunately translated over to the kit. The standard Zetas beam rifle has always had this connector hump on the rear of it that interferes with holding it straight, plus being extended due to the E-Cap. With the way the hands are made the ZII can ONLY hold its weapons out at an awkward angle. That and the back of the rifle is always colliding with the torso so posing options get limited.
The mega beam launcher is unfortunately tens times worse. It huge size just collides with the back and sides of the ZII meaning you can never get the arm out at full extension. Due to its odd design of being held underhanded it puts more stress on the hand and trying to doing anything often pops the hand out of the arm socket. That the weirdly tall sensor on it is always colliding with the torso. Unfortunately, thats just the way this weapon was originally envisioned and it a case of something that looks good in the art doesnt necessarily translate well over to the real world.

yep, my thoughts exactly, except i also don't think it poses very well in air, but that could just be me

Double Zeta is such a messy design

double zeta works though, and i'm glad that it's the successor to zeta, rather than z2 which was meant to be the successor but went into variation instead

double zeta 2 is dumb though, it looks worse than z2

i guess i shouldn't say that.

https://i.imgur.com/5ZKrxxv.png

it looks like they tried to fix z2 by making it have not as many little bits and bobs to catch and block poses. i.e it can actually hold its fuckin main weapon

Classic Zeta just has a vibe y'know

It's the first MG I bought (before the Ver Ka was announced)

But of course it's still in the stack

man regular zeta just looks mean as hell and knows it

top 5 for sure

i think i'll probably not try and repose the rg i have of zeta, but that's mainly just because i don't want it to break. well, i could probably make the legs look better
https://imgur.com/8eGjclK

not sure if that's just how i had it or the joints slowly failed

i wondered if that pink perfect strike rogue was just the same kit as before but just pink

and it is, so i something i don't have to add to the stack of boxes in the corner

rg freedom can suck my whole ass

its just falling apart

But it looks spectacular!

i forgot the image

went with the standard full splay, because lets be honest it's the best one

four days ago, usags sent me an email for the order i made from them back on december 14th

mkay well nothing in that email was true, except for the part where they could have had a large volume of orders...last week, i suppose.

not sure that would apply to my order specifically though

hell yeah

The Red Comet

he's still hangin there too, very confident that i can float out some others

f91 is straight up just missing his right hand. i don't know how that could have happened, but it's just gone.

deathscythe got loose jointies

and it's the one that has moved the least out of everything, and wasn't even in a difficult or stressful pose, it was just standing straight up

He's a leggy boi

always annoys me whenever i visit the subreddit and see a bunch of posts going "my first ever model kit build ever how did i do" and it's like some deeply advanced techniques shit

like no it's not stop lyin

they've still not actually shipped the package yet, just still at label creation

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5028a2ba.jpg

i have finally completed one (1) leg

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/s/V2P3fsty8f

Nope lol

i saw the new seed kits

oh man and we're also gonna get a new rg with them? sign me tf up

i wasn't interested in epyon just because i'm not interested in epyon, so this excites me

anyways, i got the universe booster plavsky power gate accessory for the galaxy universe exceed cosmos ultima whatever the fuck that eg's name is, because the manual had it as a possible accessory backpack for it, and i thought it'd be neat

looking at the manual, it apparently has a bunch of just extra accessories in general for the actual kit it was made for. like alternate armor pieces and stuff for the legs, buncha weapons, ect.
i don't think i'll be able to use those

My friend got the Epyon. IMO the design looks way cooler than the Ver Ka; the wings remind me of Rathalos lol

The most recent RG I got was the God Gundam, but that one is probably at least a year away from being built

i don't think i have any rgs in the backlog right now

idk how i feel about the hg huckbein getting the sharp v-fins

why gundam never get the sharp v fins on hg :(

Safety nubs!

My current backlog is...
Seven HGs

Two 30 Minutes Missions kits
Two Kotobukiya kits
