HG 1/144 Vayeate And Mercurius Review | GUNDAM WING

Nice to see a review of these, but I don't get the complaints about them looking too plain. This is already pretty true to how they looked in the TV show. They weren't very fancy and elaborate looking suits. Using all the stickers would've helped too. These are a massive upgrade from the old no grades from the 90s, so I'm just glad we're getting them at all.

There's a decent amount of Tallgeese stylings in these two which just makes me want an HGAC Tallgeese all the more. As a bonus; it would child's play to retool it into the Tallgeese 2 & 3.

Crazy how I just got to this episode on wing

[@derekberry6122]

Sorry to hear that they aired Gundam Wing out of order, but now you can watch them in order. The only thing I will tell you without spoiling anything is that that both prototypes. One was made for close range combat and the other was maximum firepower. They were made to counter each other and both technologies were put into the Virgo units.

[@bruinpattison9973]

I could be wrong but I think the alternate heads are from the episode they were introduced on, they were in the hangar while being worked on by the renegade scientists and they weren't finished yet.

[@ryanwalters1682]

They had at least one scene where Heero destroyed the mobile dolls that were accompanying himself and Trowa. During that scene they showed the face plate raise.

EW is alternate suits. We will never get EW in HGAC line. The HGAC is for Wing TV series. And if they make them the EW line will be separated HG line just like HG The Origin and HG Thunderbolts.

[@Matanumi]

yikes...those were cheap...and so bad

[@WorldOfNothin]

I think the biggest things with these, they were more or less made as prototypes to test the weapons. So I think the more simple design of the suits was because it was more about the proof of concept over the look.

I would seriously get these two already if I wasn't sharing my living space with folks who don't like model kits, but it would take a long time for me to move out because of this pandemic going full force in our country right now. My rants on personal life aside, the fact that these two kits look relatively plain gives them a whole lot of detailing potential. They could certainly become better-looking from waterslide decals to give them more surface personality. Also, fluorescent pink and fluorescent green markers (for Vayeate and Mercurius, respectively) make their eyes and weapon sights pop a lot more. An insta-get for me... Provided they are still around by the time I can finally go back to living alone at my own pace.

[@gnetmelon428]

Please do a review for the regular high grade astray red frame, I'm considering getting it but only hear mixed emotions about the kit but your's seem the most accurate!

You might have to be specific because there are two different red frames (maybe three I don’t know I don’t look at the frames that much anymore) but there’s an old red frame kit with single jointed elbows, and then theirs the red frame flight unit which has double jointed elbows. Apologize if you already knew that but I didn’t when I bought the old red frame instead of the flight unit version and I was disappointed with it.

Well I’m thinking that they’re probably inferior to the Nu gundam’s fin funnels since the fin funnels can actually attack as well but in terms of soaking up damage they put the wing gundams eye catching wings to shame because those wings were only meant for allowing the wing zero to enter the atmosphere as far as I know correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never seen endless waltz and I’ve had a hard time finding information on the wing zero because it’s name is so inconsistent in the US.

UK Toonami would for some reason buy and show a chunk of a series and then rotate back to show them all again before moving on with another chunk, Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star as far as I remember were shown all the way through.
