Let's start this new year off with a bang, and hope it is quadruple as awesome as last year!

G-00

And the 2009 thread is open for business!

Just a quick friendly tip- the discounted Sparkle Red bases on HLJ have reached Low Stock. I'd assume once they sell off their current stock they'll go back to the regular price, so if you want some cheap base goodness I'd hurry

Looking forward to the Archer release next week. Very suprised we're getting that now, yet the 0 Raiser isn't coming till the end of the month

The big thing I'm looking forward to this month is Seravee, both In-series and in Gunpla. There are two releases of it that prove at least through their price that the Seravee offers more than meets the eye. Months of speculation have led up to this month. Lets hope the Gunpla can pull off what the series has in store for us.

No doubt, theres another HG00 Seravee on the way now.

Re: EF GN-XIII

Given this is almost certain to be promoted as Sergei's, do people think it'd be out of place to give it the 'Wild Bear of Russia' markings? I have some spare but was wondering if they'd look out of place, mainly for in-story reasons (referencing a nickname from the pre-Federation days might be unpopular)

I personally felt the "Wild Bear of Russia" stickers in general were out of place, especially considering we never saw any of those emblems referenced in the show. So I would think that the GN-XIII with those markings would look strange, especially considering that we've yet to see ANY GN-XIII or GN-X model with any squadron or pilot markings.

OH JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE GOT THE HCM PRO SERAVEE

The rear face secrets are finally revealed! The link courtesy of toysdail---or not.

Well, it appears that the HCM Pro Seravee had been jipped. Enjoy reading the thread full of fan rage.

Kinda premature don't you think? I mean, only 4 pictures of the thing isn't enough to say that it's "jipped". I don't understand chinese so I don't know if the OP did post anything about the lack of features, but there's a possibility he's simply concealing the Seravee's features or something.

According to Ngee Khiong, 1/144 00 Raiser really comes down to different plastic colours and exclusive markings. That's apparently the only difference. He speculates like I did it might be Trans-Am colours, but I get the feeling this will be more like the Freedom with METEOR set- very subtle normal colouring difference

(actual model shots may not be the actual product at this point)

I agree it's likely not Trans-Am colors: The special stickers for the GN Condensers shown in the image have green lines, and not red like in all Trans-Am color model kits.

Also:

HG GN Archer boxart

Nifty box art, but I'd like to see the GN Archer in animation first. Darned Boxart is just teasing me.

Have we determined how tall/big the GN Archer is just yet? I mean, in comparison to other CB stuff?

At least figure-wise, there's this post in the GN Archer's own thread.

Aww... almost as cute as whem Soma first smiled back in Season 1. It's only fitting that she's piloting it.

Gotta wonder with that size if it's articulation will be more basic?

Archer is making me doubt we'll see a Smultron. As most probably know, the season 2 kits have 'Season One Flashback' nods. Basically, the instructions advertise what is seen as the kits season one counterpart. The Taozi has now been used for the Archer. Unless they're reusing these, it makes me doubt a Smultron kit is in the works (GN-X was the flashback for the GN-XIII. I'm betting the one coming this month will use Sergei's Command Space Tieren).

Closest I can see now is the Drei (given without that you wouldn't have Louise in A-Laws). But then that depends on if Nena will get a new MS or not...

Given what they used for the Ahead's, for the Smultron they could just use an Enact or Flag (Encountered in episodes 29 and 30) and talk about how they're ineffective against it.
