Akiba Hobby has more pics of this 1/100 scale Gundam Astraea together with more Gunpla goodies from the Miyazawa Mokei show. This looks good. I've never looked at the quality of the 1/100 scale kits recently - are they coming close to MG standard?
The gun looks out of proportion.
It's supposed to be Astraea's GN launcher, not it's beam rifle.
Agreed. Danny, the posability of the 1/100s are amazing compared to how they used to be. On the other hand, the MGs have gotten much better too.
the newer MGs almost have the posability of PGs. guess that's why there haven't been a new PG in ages. the NG 1/100 kits are improving a lot and can compared to the posability of the older MGs. i know a lot of people don't like to buy the 1/144 HGs because they're small and lack detail, but the newer ones are really good and definitely worth a buy if you're into gunpla. now i just need to make time to finish my second sazabi. adding an orange metallic coat to this one.
Im just finishing scratch building four models, and also finishing painting a bunch of ZakuII 2.0, and a Gouf Custom.
Danny, or anyone know where I can get high quality Gundam figures like this one?
try www.HLJ.com or www.1999.co.jp
Thank you!

That gun doesn't seem to blend in with exia.
that isn't exia, its the prototype for Exia. Gundam 00 manga talks about it. correct me if i'm wrong XD
skankywonders: try hobbylink japan (www.hlj.com). :) Danny: The newer HG 1:100s are very good - the Saviour, for example, is a brilliant kit. They're not up to MG standards - they have fewer parts, and they're not nearly as poseable - but they're very good for the price. That said, the newest MGs are superb as well.
Other than the 1/144 and the FGs, all Gundam 00 kits are currently non-graded. But 1/100 Exia have excellent posability. Just got myself a Virtue too, comes with the cast off ability.
The quality of the 1/100 line has improved but its not master grade quality unfortunately. But, the seed destiny 1/100s from 06' onwards where done by the same staff that worked on master grades.
and I bought the Dengeki Hobby, thinking that it would be the only Astraea... not that I am sad =D
woah, wait, am I seeing this? The GN Arms HG kit comes with the TRANS-AM mode Exia?????
aaaah yes....it's Trans-Am Exia, but only with red sticker and those red rubber on the shoulders... heres the pic.... http://shop.hobbyist-inc.com/online/detail_view.php?scode=4543112531223
but I mean, it comes with an Exia! That's service. Thank you Bandai, for making me poor
i cant wait to get one and repaint it red
Dark Red?
must get 1, or 2, or several...droollll

*Kikuuuuuuuuuuuuu~*
Not all gundams need to be decked out with weapons. That's what I like about 00 over the SEED series, honestly. By the end of that god forsaken series, Strike Freedom, Destiny, and Infinite Justice were friggin hax
The Destiny wasn't hax; more like it was hax-ed. Personally, I always thought Destiny was a bit poorly built for its specifications. And those Cooridinators with the supposededly-l33t piloting skills become tin cans with rifles in front of the Clyne forces. At least in Gundam 00, you can see the grunt pilots actually TRYING to kill off the Gundams.
Destiny's wing of light? And yes, I do agree with your 00 comment. Gogo Graham?
geez i got the 1/144 astraea conversion kit thinking that it was gonna be limited here in Canada. Now they're releasing a bigger one... oh well gonna try and get myself a MG Qubeley some time in the hopefully near future.
From pictures I've seen they look decent, but no MG quality. Check out www.dalong.net Although the sites in korean, he has reviews of pretty much every gundam model kit thats been released. With pretty nice closeups and detail shots. Heres the review for 1/100 exia http://dalong.net/review/00/0101/0101_i.htm
It does look good. Way better than those gundam model kits that I had when I was a kid n years ago. =P
they recently stepped up quality, if you haven't been on the scene (or, at least that the case with HG... Not a MG or PG fan... Because I can't bring them back b/c they are too big, and they cost a bit more than usual...)
Hmm... *thinks* Nope, no tight constricting feeling in my chest followed by a shout of joy. I guss I'll be saving for Kyrios.
I have the ungraded 1/60 Exia kit. In some ways its a let down, barely MG level of movement in some areas, but at the same time I don't miss spending a night just building an arm. I'm looking at you PG Zeta. :)
I actually prefer this Astrea to Exia, the whole sword thing sounds cool but that big switch blade on the arm just makes it seem much too top heavy. The HG Astrea seems to be priced higher than other HG 1/100 kits, I'm guessing it's because of that rumored price hike on the gunpla in general? Well price hike or not, if they makes a 1/100 Flag Graham Custom...I'm there! :D
I prefer the 1/144 Astraea conversion over the 1/100 Astraea model because the proportions are slightly better. This is my Exia-to-Astraea: http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e153/ZYuan/HG%20Gundam%20Exia/
your link is not working... But I like my Astraea conversion also... Or I built it nicely that I am proud of...
Sorry... for some reason, the link breaks because there are spaces between "HG", "Gundam", and "Exia" so you have to hightlight all the way up to "Exia" to get it to work ^_^;
lol... Was wondering why the Exia was there...
Time to look for Gundam OO and catch up.. >_<
now thats way better looking then it having the blades [_[
Definitely the 1/100 Kyrios is a design masterpiece. Saludos
waiting for MG Exia. ('~')
same ^__^, and also waiting for MG Dynames or Kyrios
The NG 1/100 Astray Red Frame had amazing posability. Its about as close to an MG as I have seen a 1/100 get. Actually, its more posable than almost all of my MG's.
the older MGs are all very stiff...and plastic looking if you don't paint them. that's why i prefer the new line up.
Hello everybody,Does anybody know if we will have more episodes past 22 of Gundam00,and is there any pause before new season starts.Thanks for your time.
yes, and there will be a long pause after episode 25. knowing sunrise, 25 will end with a giant cliff hanger.
