Yeah i’m pretty excited. If only they came out with the repairs though like the R1 and R2 but a straight up Exia is also pretty nice. I think the swords are chromed as well which is going to be awesome.
what i really wanted is a tiny GN Drive LED, but that is somewhat impossible for a kit this tiny, well the repair parts is a nice touch, somehow i think, they’ll sell the repair parts separately just to generate more cash.
Yeah that would be sick. I reckon you might be able to fit a SMLED attached to a LR41 or AC10 battery and leave that in that small chamber where the GN Drive will fit. That might work.
Yeah that’s true. Maybe an addition to the HobbyJapan magazines – that might be nice.
There is going to be a lot of Gentei for the Exia I fear!!! As for LED’s don’t forget those 3rd party beam sabre light up handles, so no reason Bandai can’t do tiny LED units. Sure they could charge an arm and a leg, and would sell like hot cakes.
I would definitely try to fit th 3mm led in the GN drive..hopefully they fit..tried to fit on the Aile Strike but too much mod and I think I give up already
Where should I start with RG kits? I’ve got the Zeta, but it’s pretty far down the backlog. I’m thinking of picking up the Char Zaku as well, but I’m not sure if I should work on an “easier” RG to get a better feel for it first.
You could try Gundam MkII (AUEG or Titans), Strike Gundam, I find these are pretty easy to build. The Zaku IIs is brilliant, you should get that too if you are a Zaku fan 🙂
Most of them are like building a MG but at a smaller scale, it shouldn’t be much of a problem for those who have small hands : P
I already build the Justice, Full Burnern, Chars Zaku, Skygrasper and the RX-78-2..still got Zephyrantes, Strike Freedom, Zaku II, Aile Strike and the Zeta..I would recommend the Chars Zaku and the RX78-2..maybe the grand daddy is a bit flimsy on the shoulder but its pretty solid
I will say though that in my experience with the Zaku II, the legs/feet are kind of unstable. And those beads are a pain. Probably go with the RX78 or Mk II as your first RG.
Strike, any of RX-178 or any of GP-01b. I am not sure if they are the most easy ones (whole RG line-up is pretty much of the same complexity except Zeta – this one’s tougher ), but they are definitely the most solid builds.
