Looks pretty cool. I REALLY like the Core Splendor redesign.

That's not how Bandai does things. They'll release a separate MG Sword Impulse, then maybe later and do an MG Impulse "Final Battle Version", which will just be the Force with the Sword Silhouette thrown in.

Apparently, it IS how Bandai does things X3 (not rubbing it in your face, so don't get me wrong, k?)

I'm a little peeved that they didnt' include the whole Sword Silhouette ala the 1/100 Metallic Force Impulse. Then I could've just made it into the Sword Impulse (my fave pack of the 3 default ones).

Well if they're throwing in an Excalibur then I wouldn't mind one Defiant then either. <<

What? It just shows Impulse totally missing with the anti-ship sword... Actually, in that pic, I think the MG Freedom looks better than the newer MG Impulse.

<_< ...just...the pose...nvm...

ANYWAY...looks like they're adding the little "beam at the end of the sword" part just for that kind of pose...

EDIT: More pics from Toysdaily *refrains from comments...might be "corrected" again <_<*

It's only "missing" because they weren't about to wreck one of their own models for fear of hurting sales. :P

Sweet they added the little beam? Now I need a MG Freedom and an X-acto knife. Mm yeah look at those sexy porportions on the MG Impulse. Very sweet. I just might keep mine separated.

I actually think accurately showing the scene with the sword actually going through the MG Freedom would've been a really nice display for advertising. I mean, I can tell they were trying with the camera angle and all that, but it's still seems like a lame attempt to me in that picture. I'm sure Bandai could've paid a decent modeller to accurately recreate the scene for a few glamour shots.

Oh well, I will agree that it's a very nice looking kit. I would've preferred the Sword Impulse, but I guess that's still a possibility in the future since they already have the mold for one of the Excaliburs, the 3 Impulse parts and the Silhouette glider.

They could have done that, but Bandai prefers everything to look pristine and beautiful on the box photos (which is what that picture will inevitably be).

And I like Sword Impulse better too, but at least the existence of a Force and the Excalibur means it's potentially easier.

Looking really Oowashi there, Force Silhouette.


It's funny 'cuz the 1/100 Oowashi and Shiranui packs are MG-compatible.

How do you figure? Two wings? A thruster at the back? It attaches to the back of an MS maybe?

Same general shape, the variable wings, the coattails, the positioning of the fins/spoilers/whatever, etc.

The boxart, though very cool looking, just seems odd to me. I don't remember the Force Impulse ever using that combination of weapons in the show other than in the Freedom stab scene. I thought for sure we were going to see the Force Impulse with an Excalibur dashing towards the Freedom, but I guess they decided to go a different route.

There's the whole Legend-using-the-Excalibur bit in the Heaven's Base battle.

Yeah, but at that point Lunamaria had switched over to the Sword Silhouette, she wasn't using the Force Silhouette anymore. Plus that battle was in atmosphere, not in space.
