Exclusive straight from the Good Smile offices - a new line called MW Gundam.

Only teasing ^^; Got permission from Max Watanabe-san (MW) to take photos of his Gundam corner at the Good Smile offices when I was there for the Good Smile live broadcast.

Didn't really notice until David pointed it out - its a hybrid RX78ZAK!
Awesome. Notice how he modeled the shoulder shield and the chest vents in the RX78 style too. And check out the Zak style tubes on the side of the face.
That reminds me - my MG Wing Gundam is still as it is the last time we spoke ^^;

the idea of it is really nice but the face looks quite bad....looks like a fat midget gundam...also brought me along the chain of thoughts of "if Gundams can mate"...

LOL! I've always prefered the mass-produced Zakus than overpowered Gundams, but this is funky!

Sorry, definitely not my cup-of-tea. I still can't quite accept such hybrid to be a good design, particularly the face. It seems like a plate of mask being put onto the face, rather than being as one with the head. 

Overall, I think there are too much Zaku in this "Gundam Zak", while elements from Gundam are just limited to the V-fin and the color scheme.

I would go for Gundam with a lot of spikes (Zeon trademark).

BTW, what's that Qubeley with cannon mounted on her forearm beside this model in the first picture?

I can buy more than 8 gunplas a year, but most likely I would only have time to assemble less than half of em', which caused a bit of problem with storing these mint, unassembled gunplas. I always liked the HGUC 1/144 series. They're cheap, easy to assemble and doesn't take much space in the display rack once finished.

This looks weird to me. Like a fat RX. I also don't get the idea behind it. To me it sounds like most of the videogame companies which bring out little updated versions of their games (like Capcom and Square Enix) instead of focusing on the real fanbase.

Somehow Gundam Zak just look like a Zaku sicked n tired of being cannon fodder screaming "I wanna be a Gundam"

A Gundam head just doesnt sit well on a Zaku body.

I like it. Now THAT's original. XD

Nice impression to give, even if it's a tad on the bulky side.

Personally, I think it looks pretty silly.  Not as silly as that Zeta Gundam with a Zaku Head, but pretty close.

Cool. Nice built cool boosters. But seems too heavy for a  combat mission thus creating an impression that this mobile suite can withstand the force of a collective gundam attacks. I wish to have one, but quite frankly too expensive... too bad for me... I have to save more from now on, and add this kit to my wish list this christmas. If only gundam santa can read this ... lolz............ cool stuff dude. Please feature gundam Rose I'm a big fan. Thanks danny..... you rock
