Not sure if the romanization is supposed to be "Nadle" or "Nadore" from "ナドレ". But could this be the first Gundam with hair?! Actually, come to think of it Gundam Noble had "hair" but it was piloted by a female. But I guess the Gundam 00 boys do look kinda feminine. Does this look good or bad to you?

That orb in the middle kinda reminds me of some old mecha from an old anime (forget what it is though) Looks good and unique, it seems to use minimalistic design.

On second thought, that hair growing from its cheek needs to be cut. It looks weird.

Without hair it would look like a modded Exia. I'm curious as to how they're going to make the model with this one though. Shiny Barbie-esque hair, or sculpted plastics?

Shiver.... Getting from bad to worse. Seed was already quite bad over the originality, concepts and designs. This is way beyond horrid. Its as if someone surgerically attached nobel gundam head onto a washing machine and claim it as a gundam. So far, only Gundam Unicorn series has really put in effort onto their designs. I hope they will quickly produce gundam Unicorn OVA.
(ID #12697) Posted on 2007/12/07 12:47
From what I can make out of the text, Gundam Nadle is the armorless form of Gundam Virtue.

My opinion, i think it sucks! What were the designer/artist thinking when they were working on the project.....holy smoke! I still think Gundam Seed & Seed Destiny's Gundam design is the best (Of course, this is again my opinion too). What do you think guys? What's your favourite Gundam? ......Mine is Strike Freedom and Sword Strike Gundam.

Destiny is definitely the shizznit! Also, I really loved the fight sequence between Freedom and Force Impulse in SEED Destiny. You get to see Force Impulse change to Sword Impulse then back again. How cool is that? XD And hey, Gundam 00 looks cool. It's not that the designers are running out of ideas, it IS an idea. Live with it. :)

(ID #12721) Posted on 2007/12/07 14:17
If it's some variant of Gundam Virtue (armour-less?), then maybe the romanisation should be 'Noble' rather than 'Nadle'. Sure, the kana should be different, but this is the show that brought us 'Solestal' Being and cola-sour.

(ID #12728) Posted on 2007/12/07 15:20
Regardless of the artistic merit of the design, I don't see what purpose would hair serve on a Gundam. It just doesn't make sense to me.0_o

Poo. Gundam designs have been watered down ever since SEED and have become progressively less inspired. SEED Destiny is, in my opinion, the worst offender. Random color apps and hokey gimmick attachments. Gundam00 seems like an attempt at recreating the vibe of Gundam Wing, or even Gundam X, as far as the team of Gundams is concerned. Standard sword type, gun type, jet type, and then you have Virtue, who is a little different from the norm. I'm actually looking at the First Grade 1/144 Virtue I just assembled. It's a cool design, but I always felt it could use more color. If the pilot's going to wear purple, why not have purple on the Gundam? This new "light" form looks fine is design, but I initially thought it was just a custom Exia. All-white is pretty boring. It looked ok on that Unicorn set, but that made sense because of the gimmick. The hair on this... whateveritis... just looks silly. There might be a storyline reason for it, but there's an equal chance that there won't be. Personally, if I were piloting an MS, I wouldn't want strands of "hair" flapping in front of my main camera or getting stuck in the joints. That's just my personal preference for when I'm being shot at.
(ID #12746) Posted on 2007/12/07 18:25
No... Just no... And people complain that Turn-A looked bad?
(ID #12749) Posted on 2007/12/07 18:41
Gunota put some info about it down... GN-004 Gundam Nadle "The form uncovered when the Gundam Virtue purges its armor. One characteristic is the exposure of the completely disheveled, hair-like cords that were attached to the armored parts. Light and excells at mobility. It can use the Virtue's shoulder cannons as handheld weapons." Leave it to something different to bring all the SEED/SEED Destiny haters out of the woodwork. Give it a rest, it's the 3 years since it ended. Stop bitching about it and move on. I don't think this looks all bad, infact, I think with the hair it might look pretty cool flying around. Remember guys, one of the designers of Gundam 00 did the designs for Full Metal Panic, and quite a few of those had hair. For sure, this is a bit of a surprise, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing at all.
(ID #12752) Posted on 2007/12/07 18:49
yea, except the venoms looked cool sporting that ponytail whip extension on the top of their heads. whereas this just looks like a gundam with a very bad haircut.

I mean the cables should have been attached for the internal engine, right? On second thought... Gundams with chest hair would look worse than this XD
(ID #12756) Posted on 2007/12/07 19:22

I like it. It's different. And it's probably one of those light crazily fast and powerful ones. I wonder if it'll come in the HG 1/144 or maybe 1/100 at least. But if it's gonna be a cast off of Virtue then it'd be a buy for me.

It doesn't look bad to me... But I do hope that there's a reason behind the 'hair' design... When it was first revealed, I was thinking like 'could this be the first female Gundam?' But then I remembered seeing one or two in the G Gundam... (Correct me if I'm wrong...) And also the Star Sailor Gundam MOD did by don't-know-who... As for the 'hair' from the cheeks, I think I see it a l'il different... I kinda think of it as the really long 'side-burns'... Y'know, as in the elves favourite hairstyle? lol Only that the root part is covered by the helmet... The scan here made it looks kinda dull... Probably looks better with the cannons or in a more dynamic pose...

I saw the name on the Gundam box for this model, it is officially called Gundam Nadleeh. On my opinion, the hair like materials may be some kind of a special interface(neuro-cables?) between Gundam Nadleeh and Gundam Virtue Detachable Armour. Since the pilot is a male Innovator called Tieria Erde, and maybe this Gundam has a system only an Innovator can use. d@@b
