o0o… getting a bit of Avalanche Exia nostalgia from looking at the parts for this thing. Unsurprisingly, it’s almost like building Exia again (what’s with Astraea being the prototype and all). Chose the Type F over the original Astraea because this one looks more hotblooded :D. I’m now waiting for R10 to send me the notification saying my MG Sinanju has been shipped… c’mon…
Next Gunpla Project

I hadn’t watched Gundam 00 (probably not yet), so I had no idea Char was making an appearance in Gundam 00 with a Gundam of his own!
(Translation: I don’t mean to be Captain Obvious here, but that’s an alright-looking red MS. By the way, does the Gundam franchise really need a red mobile suit in most every new anime/manga/game?)
Its because in Japan red is AWESOME, or what i think it is…dont min to sound stereotypical
personally… i prefer type F over d normal one because of its mask… u gotta admit it looks cool!
all i can say is that model is AWESOME the red looks so cool
Siroh, that’s not char’s or the antagonist suit , just a MSV of Gundam 00, like SEED Astray ^^
Z, i think you should wait… I found the picture of type F with an Avalanche-like armor and samurai sword! But too bad you already have this, eh? ^^; i will send you the pic later.
hell i want one with a samurai sword
Niceee, I’ve been debating if I should get this kit or not. But since Avalanche turned out as a fail for me, I might get this. Z it’s up to you bro. Shouldn’t be a prob since you convinced me with a bunch of models already. LOL
Siroh, This Gundam is not a Char xD. Nor is it in the anime but a manga (novel?) of its own (MSV). This is actually one of the few red Gundams out there ^^
Gunstray, Red is the color of hotblood
AstrayP03, I’m digging that mask too. It could’ve included a cape as well!
John, the color is probably the main reason I chose this over the RWB one ^^
Eyeshield, I’ve seen that one before actually ^^. I had that idea before too and thought about doing it but still way too lazy for all the repaint and such.
John, easy with a MG Musha or Red Frame :D
Francis, we’ll see soon enough I hope ^^. There are certain times where I feel like I’m giving Bandai free advertisements xD
I look forward to the finished model. I have been thinking about getting this as well.
I knew I should’ve put [sarcasm][/sarcasm] UBB brackets on my post, and add more “/_______”s beyond “anime/manga/games,” but I figured my question would still get through and stand on its own about red Gundams and other red mobile suits. *shrug*
Flawless Blade, I certainly hope it’s not like my Avalanche Exia
Siroh32, hahaha my bad xD. I was actually reading it as sarcasm till I reached your “translation” part…which sounded a bit more serious ^^;
Z, no need to paint your avalanche exia, i think that red avalanche astarea type F will be released along with 007s o_O; (i hope actually ^^)
Nice choice for your next gunpla project. Astrea have great design especially Type-F. I can not wait for your review of this gunpla ^^
Yep, still waiting for 00 7 swords…Also waiting for 1/100 Arios.
