Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Destiny ~upcoming stuff~
 

Something found on Gunota Headlines. Thought many of you might be interested. Spoilers for those of you who haven't seen SEED or SEED Destiny.

So what do you guys think of this? I knew about the upcoming Stargazer, though previous reports had mentioned it being an OVA at first. Knowing it took place in C.E.73 made me wonder though, since it is pretty much the same time as the events of Destiny - many people had anticipated an epilogue taking place several years later.....

And there is still talk about a third series......



:cheers:

So wait sec...

Yeah, I felt the same way when they released the OVA recap for SEED.....not much point in seeing the whole thing again. The SE for Destiny might be more interesting if......

Still, I'm a little interested in how it will turn out. :p


Here's a spoiler taken off another forum, a picture from a magazine regarding the 3rd and (maybe) final chapter of SEED: SEED3 Photo



Can't wait!!!


:beer:

hahah, is that suppose to be the rumor "GSEternity"? I thought that rumor died.

its only an ONA.. they should just stop with the drag-on's and get straight to the point or...just make something different u.u..

I don't think that pic is legit, cuz

I agree that a switch like that doesn't really make sense, but you never know with Fukuda. Besides, since a longer period of time takes place in between, there maybe some explanation forthcoming?

Who knows?


Anyways, more from Gunota Headlines:

Gunota also mentions that Nami Tamaki will have a brand new song that will be included in the Destiny SE as an ending theme for the first part. The title is reported to be "Result".


:beer:

Some GunPla news from Gunota Headlines:

So, Infinite Justice finally gets a 1/100 scale kit being made available soon - should be good news for some people here. Also it seems that other 1/100 Destiny models will be available later on as well. I wonder if there'll be any MG kits?



:beer:

Yay, 1/100 IJ model. Waiting for some pictures.
I'll probably wait till end of year before I buy it and to see what else comes out.
The SEED stargazer site looks cool, even though it's not up yet, just a picture..
but it's a new suit and that's always something to look forward to.

the wings of that gundam kind of look like Strike Freedom's...

:cow:

Some prototype pics of the 1/100 Infinite Justice has been released over on Gunota:

They also released shots of the new EMSiA versions of Freedom and Justice, much improved from the earlier MSiA versions.

Gunota Headlines

EMSiA= Extended MobileSuit in Action



:beer:

Sweet, the wings of IJ's booster pack looks like it touches the floor so it's weight shouldn't be a problem for standing upright.
I was going to get regular Justice model but now I'm condering on not getting that and getting the IJ instead.
Oh, and do you know what's "Cosmic Region IJ" model?

I hope that the Athrun/Meyrin picture isn't legit, since a marriage between Cagalli and Athrun would make more sense plotwise; not only does it have more support, but it would also help a bit in bridging the Natural-Coordinator divide.

i think Athrun+Meyrin isnt that far-fetched. In GS Destiny (51) Final Plus at the end there was a scene with Cagalli where she didnt wear his ring any more.

Before Seed Destiny I liked AthrunXCagalli.
But since there is a Seed Destiny I don't mind seeing AthrunXMeyrin.

Bandai have released special ready-made models of various UC mobilesuits over the years, in their Gundam Fix Figuration line. Of course, alternate universe Gundam shows have also produced some memorable Gundams and I guess Bandai would like to cash in on them too! :D

The Cosmic Region refers to those mobilesuits from the Cosmic Era universe from SEED and SEED Destiny. They've already released Force Impulse (#7001), Freedom (#7002), Strike Freedom (#7003) and just recently Destiny (#7004). Infinite Justice will be the next one in this line, to be released sometime in June.

Also, they will release a double pack of the G Gundam mobile fighters God Gundam and the Nobel Gundam in April, for 4,179 yen.

Most of the mobilesuits can be seen if you follow the link: Gundam Fix Figuration @ Tamashii.

I didn't like the Freedom or the Strike Freedom because their wings look way too short. The Force Impulse and Destiny look pretty good though. Also, all Gundam Fix Figuration products are made from a pvc material, meaning that some parts may tend to bend while in their packaging. It's not uncommon to find beam rifles or bazookas bent out of shape! Apparently the problems are easy enough to solve with a little water and a hairdryer!! Well, I saw that people could straighten stuff out that way in Hobby Japan.


:beer:

Oh, fixed figurines. I've never seen those before, how do they compare to the MSiA? I've bought a MSiA once, it was a waste of my money!! But the pictures looks like they're higher quality and the price is more higher (i'm guessing the price because my browser can't pick up kanji) And yeah, the wings do look too short.

Gunota and MAHQ have some pics available now, though not much.

Regarding C.E.73 Stargazer:

and what I'm guessing is a 1/144 scale model from the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2006


:beer:

Oooooo, I'm glad I get to see pictures of the model so soon.
Yeah, it's a 1/144 and about 13 USD.
By looks alone, it looks like it has two... uh.. hand guns... at it's waist. That's pretty interesting.
Looks like 1 rail cannon on each wings which can pivot vertically and horizontally
and 2 detachable beam swords, one on each wing.

Tamashii has released pics for their new EMSiA Freedom Gundam

The ms will be released in April, 2006.

Check it out!!

As you can see, a lot more detail than the original MSiA version (they released 2 versions of Freedom I believe, and both sucked). The main differences are the new joints added to the plasma cannons, allowing Freedom to deploy them while in HiMAT mode. More mobility has been added to the shoulder joints and all Freedom's limbs are far more flexible (You can see by the awesome poses in the above link). The beam rifle and anti-beam shield appear more streamlined and in proportion compared to the earlier versions.

All round I'd say this is a great improvement. I was never into the MSiA line, but I do believe they've got me hooked on the EMSiA Freedom and Justice. I can't wait for them to come out!!


:beer:


EDIT:Tamashii have also released pics of their God Gundam & Nobel Gundam set from their Gundam Fix Figuration series.

Lookie lookie!!



:D

Yay, looks like we'll be seeing 4 more gundams besides Strike Noir but how they look like is unknown yet.
I'm taking a guess but I'm guessing the page below shows a time like on when the models will be released.
http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~midori-b/puranew/nes-g0188.htm

and here's 1/100 of both IJ and Legend.... I hope the 1/100 doesn't really look like that because it looks like crap..
http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~midori-b/puranew/nes-g0184.htm

Legend does look a little off.

Those Stargazer models are supposed to come out starting in June till sometime in 2007. There's supposed to be reworked duel and buster suits too I believe. I'm hoping for some fresh new designs. but i'm guessing it'll be just a bunch of Destiny MSV.

I'm pretty surprised that they revived the 1/100 line. maybe one day we'll see a 1/100 Saviour.

The other mobilesuits were shown somewhere, I've seen them but I can't remember where....... o_O

Anyways, the Buster and Duel look-a-likes were named aptly: Buster Kai and Duel Kai. I'm not sure whether or not they're ZAFT or EA mobilesuits either, though I guess they will be revealed in due time.

jouho, that 1/100 IJ isn't painted so I guess it'll look pretty much like that when you put it together straight from the box. I'm pretty sure it'll look okay once you get a black marker for the lines and all. Maybe it'll be slightly better once it's actually released?


:beer:

That would be awesome!
Even if 1/100 models aren't painted they look decent but that picture of IJ doesn't. So I hope the one being released will be better, if not then I'll get a regular 1/100 Justice.

Updated news from Gunota:

Strike Noir is from ORB? How can that be? Stolen? Anyways, not much detail on its weapons - what about those machine guns(?) on its hips? No shield or beam rifle? Those wings seem to include beam cannons, and I guess the head unit doesn't carry any CIWS.
