well i tried the first 2 rg kits rx 78-2 and the char’s zaku and the side skirts and fingers were terrible i even lost 1 side of the zaku and didnt realize it til months after i moved it . now i ordered the strike freedom hope it is better
The fingers will be about the same, however you can swap the mg type hands into fixed posed hands…well on some rg kits, never built those 2 but I know strike freedom and mk2 have swappable hands (with included fixed pose which I use).
Gotta be gentle otherwise with the mg type hands (or fully emotive depending on your terminology).
What is everyone’s thoughts on the RG Exia? I feel a bit underwhelmed myself. I don’t know/ understand what the Exia will bring to the table as it already has the two tone gray and sleek design that should fit right in with the RG frame. I guess what I would have liked was perhaps more “exaggerated” proportions. then again the decals might be a…[Read more]
I’m a big fan of the RG line of kits and I’m really interested to see what the kit will look like with all the decals (stickers). What I would like to see is Bandai produce Gundam Unicorn Series RG’s.
I’m mainly hoping that they don’t pull a MG and give us those horrible ankles. Other than that I’m quite interested in how they do the inner frame and GN drive as well as see if we may get some other 00 kits in RG… come on Alvatore, we need at least one kit of you, preferably plated.
Exia is a very different looking suit to the Seed suits that mostly seem to populate the RG line. I’ll be keen to see what they do with it. Maybe they’ll go sword heavy on the weapons side? Or better still perhaps GN Arms?
I’ve been asking the same question lately. I’ve been building MGs and some part of me is saying I should try an RG kit. But my wallet is suggesting its not a good idea.
I own RG Freedom, Zeta and now Strike Freedom and I must say they are a blast to build. My only regret is actually buying Zeta, because that transformation gimmick sucks. I am a huge fan of the Zeta, but that is one kit I regret buying. Freedom was so much fun to put together, it’s just back heavy. Strike Freedom is the same way, but my problem is…[Read more]
RG’s are cheaper then most MG’s to both buy and ship, trust me take the plunge, its well worth it. If your looking for a standout kit, the Strike and GP01 Zepharanties have been great. the Freedom was a nice surprise as well.But then again go with a kit that you are interested in :P..
Both are awesome. The only reason that makes me choose the MG over the RG is the scale difference and that the RG’s seem a bit too slim which kind of gives the impression that they are a bit flimsy. However, saying that I do have every RG apart from the strike freedom and the GP01 FB and love them. The price difference of almost half price when…[Read more]
I’d say MG. I love the RG line, but if you value the design novelty when you build a kit, MG wins hands down, because you get to build a frame and the process varies depending on the kit. You rarely get that with a pre-built frame (RG Zeta/Skygrasper and both GP01 kits are a nice break from that, but these are just 4 kits out if 15, so…).
Tough Question. I think I might actually Say Real Grade……MG’s are lovely and hold a special place but the real grade line has been a real treat and are more consistent with quality. The real grade line is doing what the master grades were doing in the early 2000’s comparing them to the high grades released. Pushing the boundary of what can be…[Read more]
Depend on the kit quality and the model of. I maybe leaning more onto the RG line as they’re smaller and more affordable. (I don’t have a large room for my kits and they’re now mostly stashed away).
