I would want an Extended IJ though.....the MIA one wasn't very good D=

I wouldn't mind an Extended IJ either. It happens to be my favorite of the big 4 new Gundams from Destiny (1. IJ, 2. SF, 3. Legend and 4. Destiny). It was lacking in a few areas as well:

  • No combined saber hilt
  • No wing edge blades for the subflight lifter
  • No nose blades for the subflight lifter (however no IJ has had the nose blades from my knowledge, figure, model or otherwise)
  • No removeable grapple stinger on shield
  • No attachment point for the beam rifle on the rear skirt armor (this one really bugs me)
  • Very weak connection mechanism for the beam boomerang blade
In other EMSIA/MSIA news, apparently one site has the release date for the EMSIA Strike Noir as April. I'm gonna wait until confirmation before I get too excited, but that would kick ass if it came out in April.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Big Four all got EMSiA eventually, honestly.

The one that bugged me to hell was the loose-ness of the beam boomerang part. Argh......I can't stress how I hated it.

Only question is whether they release the duos (SF/IJ and Destiny/Legend) close to each other, or if they release SF/Destiny and then a year later IJ/Legend. XD

My guess would be the duos, since they did release Freedom and Justice pretty close to each other. I never really thought of an EMSIA Destiny before. From pics, it seemed to me that the MSIA was just fine (I don't have it so I wouldn't really know first hand). If they did make one....I wonder if they would include wings of light effects parts.

My guess would be Duos.....and a month later, the other two.

The MIA Destiny is alright, good posability. However, I hated the mold. Especially the head..

A lot of EMSiA already had decent (Or painfully numerous) MSiA; didn't stop them from getting EMSiA.

Nice that the monoeye moves, but otherwise I really don't care.

More pics of the MIA Oowashi Akatsuki that comes out at the end of this month:

Posted Image

I'm really digging how the beam blades look. I wish they included the "Akatsuki" kanji on the shoulders. I mean, if they can put all those decals on the MIA Hazel, why couldn't they do the same for the CE mobilesuits. It's a shame that they didn't just release a "complete" Akatasuki that includes the Shiranui pack. All things said, I'm definitely going to pick this up.

Also, here's a shot of the EMIA Strike Noir prototype:

It's pretty much confirmed that it will come out in June.

I wonder how many pieces have to be changed around to convert the Legend into the Providence.

Although I'm a little disappointed that it won't come with the duel beam rifles or rocket anchors, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a must-buy to me. I actually like the beam swords on the EMSIA a lot more than the MG version. The beam blade part looks a lot longer.

So no news of any other new MSIAs coming out for April, May or June in that magazine Homeless?

I find that a bit odd since we usually get a new MSIA, or at least a re-issue every month and a new EMSIA every 2-3 months. Although the EMSIAs are pretty much still on track (Char's Geloog this month and Strike Noir in June), right now we have no MSIAs planned for April, May or June. I thought for sure we'd at least see a Shiranui Akatsuki to follow the Oowashi's release.

Completed Noir pics here.

It looks pretty damn awesome....but.....I am surprised that they didn't panel line the knee armor?

From what I can tell in those pictures, I don't think they panel lined any of the grey parts. Surprising since most EMSiAs usually have a good amount of panel lining on them.

Even more pics!!! This time from Hobby Japan's latest issue...

I'm still a little peeved that they didn't include the Duel's beam rifles or at least one rocket anchor, but I'll still buy it. Cheaper than the MG, and plus if I really want 2 Duel beam rifles, I could always buy a 2nd Duel off eBay. They're relatively cheap nowadays.

FINALLY!!! More EMSIA/MSIA news (from Gunota):
Quote:
 
EMSiA Gelgoog Cannon - July, 2,100 yen
EMSiA High Mobility Gelgoog - Johnny Ridden custom, July, 2,100 yen
MSiA Akatsuki Shiranui pack, July, 1,890 yen
GFF Metal Composite G-3 Gundam with G-Fighter - July, 12,390 yen

I wasn't too excited about Char's Gelgoog, but I'm ecstatic about Johnny's Gelgoog announcement. I'm glad I didn't buy Char's Gelgoog now. The Shiranui Akatsuki I'm gonna get as well.
