![]() Maybe I’m just complaining out of ignorance, and is something I should get over. Katoki managed to get the GFF right, but why not the MG? Why not a 1.5 or 2.0 of his own RX-78? Not just for posing around, but for looking a bit more like his sleek design? Notice how the GFFs are a bit sleeker and more consistent with Katoki’s lineart(s) of the RX-78… Especially his angular/flat duck feet, compared to the rounder traditional feet for the RX-78. Like Wing, not by much, yes, but compare the MG to its GFF equivalent one of the 1/100 Metal Composite RX-78s. Ka, which might’ve borrowed from the previous MG to cheapen cost, and I’d get that, but still nevertheless deviated a bit from Katoki’s lineart of the RX-78, whether initial or current. …Because despite the changes (further color scheme differences in the wings, decals, shield/buster rifle), if you compared the GFF lineart at the back of the cover and the figure itself, or the more-accurate MG lineart and the MG itself, notice how even with the stylistic changes, if you compare with his actual current art, they’re not exactly the same as the product (though the GFF and MG, despite scale, looks pretty much the same, and still looks damn good and attractive). ![]() I’d like to know how the original shield and buster rifle looked like in full (beyond the B-Club conversion parts, or did they basically get it accurate?), but I’m digressing… Notice how Wing’s standing picture and action picture are different, not just because of the introduction of the now-different shield and buster rifle, but the details all around in both how there’s more exposure to the inner frame in small areas, and a slightly different paint scheme. I remember most of them (with the exception of Heavyarms until the MG manual in ’04, and we kind-of got shafted about Shenlong as it was obscured in the group picture) had a second image of its design in action. If you allow me to digress… You mentioned Katoki’s EW-esque designs for the first five GW Gundams back in 1997. I also get the stylization-changing explanation, but I don’t think you exactly get my point on that. ![]() That is a very colorful Gundam, Sixwalrus.ĭerringer: I get the explanation regarding the MG and how it can’t be as sleek as a Robot Damashii figure can. ![]()
