I Can't Believe It's Not an MG [Full Mechanics Aerial Review]

[@manecor]

The whole green vs blue beams thing is reated to the academy dueling restrictions (green= Limiter on, low power, blue= Limiter off). Ideally, it should include both colors!

[@kakarot197]

Yep, both would've been best.

[@TheLVJ]

Ideally, yes, but screen accurate green beams for this Aerial should have been the minimum.

honestly it really feels like there isnt going to be a mg aerial because of how far they went on this kit. with the old no grade 1/100 kits they were very obviously budget kits just to make a larger figure but this really is amazing and comes with stuff like the chrome shell unit which I would think they would save for a more premium kit

[@bthsr7113]

Piles of effect parts, conversion components to swap frrom from the original aerial to the Rebuild, stands aplenty for the bits, a comprehensive action base, interchangeable parts for all the GUND settings, battle damage, bloody hand, both beam rifles, and any new toys Aerial shows in future episodes.

[@MasakiHana]

I think the MG Aerial is not ready yet due to the over-the-top opening hatch of the cockpit that the anime model has.

[@ronaldzamora8850]

Well someone already made a custom 'MG' of it with an opening hatch even way before the FM was announced or released so it may not be hard for Bandai as well. Also Bandai might release the Aerial not as a regular MG but an MGEX kit because of Permet score gimmick.

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

It's highly unlikely, but I wish we could get the Darilbalde in this line.

"it looks more expensive than it actually is" This only works if you pre ordered her. I had to shell out 50 USD in my currency for her. Others shelled out 60 to 80 in my area.

[@szrelemr7784]

Same, in my country this kit and all the SEED Full Mechanics kit are more expensive than most fan-favourite MG kits like the Barbatos, the SEED 2.0s , the Grandaddy 3.0 etc. So it is a very hard sell for me eventhough I like the design.

[@valentetellezperez6538]

[@thomastsuihn]

[@vicarsol9954]

Bandai will do everything BUT release a Master Grade

[@TheLVJ]

They don't normally release 100% newly tooled MG while the target series is on the air. The only time this happened was during AGE. They've historically seen releases within 1-3 years after the series concluded. MG Barbatos came out 4 years after IBO started.

[@jemilicee]

Now you're only missing the SD :D

[@Echo_419]

I'm really looking forward to the review of the Full Mechanics Figure Rise Eri!

[@gsm_liv8980]

This kit is definitely a mixed bag for me. While it is drop dead gorgeous and blows any WFM kit out of the water when it comes to aesthetics, the stability issues are absolutely disappointing. The peg connecting the two torso joints are extremely lose that just a slight touch would make the whole upper body bend backwards. The feet joints are also quite loose as well, that when trying out foward-reaching poses the Aerial has a chance to fall forward due to the feet bending up on me. I used clear nail polish to fix these, and even then I'm quite scared of playing around with it. Right now I just leave it in your typical Gundam standing pose on my desk, but to be honest it already looks good as it is. For me it's more of a display-rather-than-play piece compared to the HG kits which are way more stable and less headache-inducing. If they ever decide to introduce Full Mechanics kits of the Aerial Rebuild and Calibarn, I hope they redesign the torso structure of these kits because the much heavier weaponry of the Aerial Rebuild and Calibarn are going to absolutely obliterate the kits' stability.

[@familialdysautosis2717]

Can NOT wait for a FM/MG Calibarn. Gonna be stupid cool

[@scooda]

I know I’m probably in the minority, but I kind of hate how angular they made the FM Aerial. I’m not a preexisting Gundam fan, so I’d rather the big fancy model kit of what’s easily my favorite design from the franchise be as accurate as possible. I’m all for added details, but I think some of the changes here really do step on the toes of the original design. The legs in particular really bother me- especially the changes to the top part of the knee pads and the shifting yellow vents/thrusters(?) of ambiguous purpose. The front of the thighs are also flattened in a way that goes against the look of the Aerial, IMO. Also, maybe it just looks absolutely incredible in person under normal lighting, but every image and video I’ve seen of the shell unit has made all of the embossed chrome red pieces fully stand out (as if the entire chest windows were glowing) instead of the red lines glowing against a black background like in the show. :/ But I guess I don’t have much to complain about, with how great the HG Aerial turned out. Edit: I bet the chrome red pieces would look better on the Lfrith Ur and Thorn. Maybe the HGs for those should’ve had that instead of the clunky stickers we got.

[@yoruzeruel5009]

Yeah HG Erial is by far the perfect rendition of the anime, as it happens with many HGs, Freedom being a great example

[@ApenBaard]

Huh my comment got deleted....ill try again: In the latest issue of hobby japan some modeler added black inbetween the lines on the metallic red pieces. Problem, imo, is that the red pieces then dont shine through the smokey translucent plastic well enough anymore because the black surrounding it absorbs too much light. I wouldve expected it to look obviously better but turns out its not now that ive seen it haha. But others might like it being a more subtle thing.

[@yoruzeruel5009]

I have HG Erial and the beams peg is flat like the 00 style, maybe with modding you can fit them but I haven't tried, there's always painting ofc

[@kakarot197]

Nope, the FM Aerial uses a flat rectangular peg instead of the standard round peg. And even if you were to simply cut off the pegs and superglue the beam effect part of the Nemo to the Aerial's beam saber, it would still look off (the entire handle is flat/rectangular). And the only other 1/100 scale kits I can think of that use flat beam sabers that could fit, all use pink blades (the Astrays and 00 machines)
