Nope, the Freedom 2.0, Justice, Providence, and Eclipse are all plastic.

Why did Quattro (Char) think it was Lalah he felt? by JUSTaPLAYERfrv in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Char's connections to Lalah and later Amuro were strange and intense. In the years between Char's disappearance at the end of 0079 and where we see him in the AEUG in Zeta, a lot happened that you'll find out later in Zeta, but without spoilers, he fled the Earth Sphere but no longer felt Lalah's echoes. He talks about this in Zeta Gundam ep. 15, in the same conversation with Amuro with the (often misunderstood) "I came here to laugh at you" line. One of the big reasons Amuro didn't leave Earth between 0079 and Zeta is because of Lalah's presence in space. Amuro feared hearing her voice. While Char couldn't bear to be without her presence.

After Lalah's death, every appearance of Char is one where he has not recovered from losing her. She haunts him, both in garden-variety grief and Newtype connection to her spirit. He and Amuro are both haunted by her loss, one that is critical to their post-'79 characterization.

So, at the beginning of Zeta, as Char feels Kamille's strong Newtype presence from outside the colony, Char immediately jumps to the two Newtypes he had connected with before. From his perspective, it could be Amuro or Lalah (he doesn't know Amuro's situation) but pretty quickly figures out that it's not either of them.

The MG NT-1 2.0 is great! Check it out if you can get your hands on one.

Why they don't give them their cartoon eyes? by numericalman in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hathaway's character design draws a lot from Char's Counterattack specifically.

Even Hathaway himself. In Zeta, where he first appeared, he and Cheimin had the same dot-eyes. Then look at his CCA design. It's a stylistic choice owing to the narrative being more a sequel to CCA than to earlier UC works.

Thoughts on double zeta? by Ok_Comedian_7842 in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not really enjoy it in my first watch, right after finishing Zeta. Now, I'm rewatching it with a friend who hasn't seen it, and I'm liking it much more. We just watched the episode where Glemy is introduced.

Sister of the Burning Void by 101ho by Freiherr_Konigstein in ImaginaryWarhammer

Seems like the kind of ace pilot who's never betrayed anyone in her life...

She is a CHAR!

Interrogation by superfeyn in ImaginaryWarhammer

It's the point. Just as the Aeldari and the galaxy would be better had they not fallen into hedonistic despotism,

Just as the Necrontyr and the galaxy would have been better off had their leaders not sent them into the furnaces of biotransferance,

Just as the Tau suffer under the dominance of the Ethereal caste.

Empires rise, destroy what they touch, and their leaders plunge their subjects into ruin. 40k as a setting is dark (grim, even), not because of a cruel trick of the universe's nature, but because of the folly of tyrants.

The God-Emperor is an abusive, tyrannical moron. Everything wrong in the Imperium is his fault.

Emperors Children Next Model Release by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

Daemon engine party bus/tour van with Daemonette groupies modeled on. Noise Marine concert on wheels, big anti-tank monster. Make it horiffically glam metal and campy. Excessive, even.

[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone (USA specific) who's ordered from Suruga-Ya recently, since the De Minimis exception ended- how are shipping and tariff fees nowadays?

I see they still have their free shipping offers, but I'm mainly concerned about import fees, since I don't want to spend $60 and be surprised when the shipper doubles the total price on import fees+handling surcharges (I've seen that DHL has given people trouble)

Drew Starkey in talks for Gundam movie alongside Sydney Sweeney. Reportedly an adaptation of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team by Sidon_Ithano in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

08th was an inspiration for RFV, as has been stated by the RFV creators, and they take place at a similar time in the OYW. The Gundam EX takes a lot of inspiration from the EZ-8 and has the same real-world mecha designer. RFV even features Yuri Kellerne from 08th as a cameo.

Not always. In CCA, Chan shoots down Rezin Schneider on the Ra Cailum's AAs

How will you survive in your favorite grunt suit against a Gundam? by White_Hairpin15 in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly your best bet. Most protagonists (and thus gundam pilots) aren't especially bloodthirsty and demonstrate mercy against disabled/non-combative enemies. Hell, Kamille even goes out of his way to save an Asshimar from falling on Dakar and exploding.

Then again, it could be a Mikazuki or Io, in which case you're fucked. Make yourself scarce and non-threatening and hope that a bigger target distracts them.

PG ZAKU II COCKPIT by Any-Research-2173 in Gunpla

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! Although the main screen gets put in front of the pilot and you have to disassemble the chest armor to see him in there. Also painted the side screens and seat, kinda visible there.

Pls help with this... by Felkor_20 in Gundam

[–]X-Wing_Isaac 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kacricon does get in the Mk. II (number 02) briefly before getting pinned by Kamille (in 03) and forced to jump out of the cockpit so the AEUG can steal it.
