@QuantumExia It's a resin conversion. Resin is a relatively cheap way to make a couple hundred copies of something, but the process of producing each copy is fairly labor-intensive... And the total number of copies produced tends to stay pretty low - hence, resin kits are expensive.
why don't bandai just release a master grade gundam kit instead of leting those money hungers rip us off. i love bandai, that brand totally worth my money. i would say its cheap for all those details comon man that armor cost me all my b -day money and bandai for 50-60 you can get a full armor, inner frame, acceries, and other great stuff but this thing cost you... Boy i can't even believe what i saw for 150 you can ge a PERFECT GRADE. Waaaaa damn that's one mother fucking price *just4thatshit*
@KiraYamato636 bandai does not have enough time to work on other MG projects as they apear to focus on the Real Grade and High Grades series. The conversion kits made by "money huggers" are designed by fans and smaller companies. By alternative parts for existing models, will take a lot of work and dedication. Therefore it price of the resin kit can be justified through the amount of work need to create these resin kits.
@f0615388 basically you have to buy the ARMORS (which is the neo grade kit) and you also have to buy a BANDAI Freedon gundam just for the inner frame then combine the resin/conversion kit and the inner frame together besides you have to get your own paints for it. and you have to paint before you glue it. (which means spent more time and money) and you got the extra freedom armor that's going to be in your cabinets for years it would be a waste. remember the armor 150$ +s&h, freedom 50$ +S&H
I got 2 1/144 Sword Calamity (plastic conversion kits) left. They are the VERY RARE Hobby Japan ones. I'm selling them at $40 each, the boxes have a few small dents, and they come with the original region 2 DVD's. I got pics if anyone needs proof. I only accept paypal, so if anyone is interested in buying send me a private message.
interesting...I'd love to try out resin kits, considering my love for painting, but the price is a bit too high...not to mention you have to go out of your way to get another MG model to build it...and not even use all the parts for said MG model. You did a great job with this, Prime. The titanium finish thing looks a bit weird to me, as I perfer matte finishes, but you appear to LOVE clear and shiny things.
I'm astonished by the detail on the resin pieces though...
hav u ever thot tht matching matt colours with glossy/titanium colours look so much better than an entirely titanium finished set?? which reflects so much light n makes it look like a toy??
man screw this sword calamity! looks so damn good!!!! now i want to get one!, but too bad i'm not... cuz i'm not gonna waste $75 for a gundam unless PG
@PRIME92 Also PRIME: Have you watched the OVA where it appears, The Blue Astray Frame one, it had a gimmick where the 2 anti-ship awords could combine into one, didn't the instructions said anything about it?
@Prime92 like sometimes when kits are painted... they look like they weren't painted(like if I had never seen the original colors before I would have never been able to tell it was painted kind of thing). I'm not sure if you know what I'm saying...
Why didn't you paint the joints and stuff as well? Seeing bare plastic and painted parts mixed together isn't the best.
And I believe this is called candy paints (or something), where you use clear paints over silver or something. 2Old4Toys/mokanaman mentioned something like this in their contest video. (Btw, just curious, are you entering? :P)
one thing though where did you get that.....and at least you show the resin parts before you build...oh it's just me...btw nice review wishing BANDAI can create more mg's.
i would say this is metallic coating, not titanium finish, the titanium finish is actually glossier and is actually a chrome with a clear colour on top
@silvias13ftw The Resin Kit are usually kit that Bandai had never made ( like the Banshee, etc etc ) TT Hongli was selling copy of real kit made by Bandai
resin kits have been around for a VERY long time. bandai has little power over them because they are custom made add-on sets for bandai's kits, rather than actual copies of copyrighted kits.
Sword Calamity is piloted by Edward Harrelson aka Ripper Ed. Oh and cannon that Calamity Gundam has in both forms is shorter range version of the Scylla Cannon that Aegis Gundam had.
i think meta orange looks better
