Topic is self explanatory. This thread's all about TEH GUNDAM MERCHANDICES!

Well, I just got my Strike bundle through today.
Pleased with the HG Aile and Rouge, as both their packs offer GREAT mobility, poseability and the kits themselves are great looking. Only problem is the new way Bandai decided to make the arm joint. The old way worked fine. But now, they're less poseable, more solid... and the implimentation of the grey "restrictor" in the arms makes them fall apart if not pushed securely on. Which I was scared of doing incase I snapped something.
The ungraded models (hereafter dubbed Shitty Grade) however are a different story. The arms are a solid lump, as are the legs (minus the foot) and offer next to no poseability whatsoever. Heck, the poor li'l guy even has trouble standing up with a pack equipped. The packs themselves would be HG standard if the beam from the sword pack was actually removeable. The only purpose to buy the shitty grades is because they haven't released a high grade sword or launcher yet.

Meh, rant done.

At least the shoulders on the Strike move in the shitty grade version. My mobile Dinn has the shoulder armor as one piece with the arm, so the poor thing can barely stretch out his arms to pose with the guns like in the show. Despite that, it's still a cool looking model, plus I got it for free thanks to a mishap by Gundamshop biggrin

they need to release all the MSV in high grade, those shitty grades are worse than the line that was "first gundam" Yep, I bet those kits from way back when polycaps didnt exist were more poseable...

You mean Seed MSV or just MSV? Because I would be overjoyed to see stuff like Psycommu Zaku test type given a proper tune-up sweatdrop

On a side note, I decided to put the Rogue in the poll rather than the regular Strike because, well, it looks cooler 3nodding Reminds me of a pissed off Strike, or as if someone cast "Berserk" on it and now Cagalli's gonna whoop some a** like Kira never could xd But I have yet to see the entire series, so I don't know how either fights toward the end.

Yeah, actually they are, just mostly plastic on plastic joints... I wish they had done SEED shitty grade kits more along the lined of the say 0080, or even the wing non graded kits, with at least some poseability...

Don't know. That hasn't been mentioned yet. And yes, it is 1/144 just like all the other Seed MSV kits.

My beautiful Psyco Gundam is on there! *droooooools/swooooons*

well, if it's HG (which i'd assume it is as it's 1/144 MSG), I'd guess they'd throw in a Gunbarrel (Notice the other HG kits for the strike and the rouge both had a mission pack?) So... We can hope. 3nodding
And they better make a Buster Dagger. I'd buy tons of those if they were 1/144 HG MSV !
