FA Gundam - Ver.2.0 vs, Katoki
I really like the FA Gundam. Hell I have a FA Gundam T-Shirt.
But I don't really like the ver.2.0 RX-78-2. Yeah I know the frame is amazing and all but I'm just not really feeling the anime proportions and roundness. I want something more menacing. Something like the Katoki version.
Above is the Kyoshiro remix coloured FA Gundam. GFF version and Ver.2.0 frame version recoloured. I know they had to go with the newest frame but I have to admit that I'm a bit dissapointed. I guess if I want my Katoki fix I just have to go for GFF stuff! Below is a MSV-R version FA Gundam which I also think would look much better in the Katoki style. Let's face it! The man is genius.
So where do you fall on this debate? 2.0 or Katoki? Blue or green? 1 or 1b?

You could get a resin conversion that uses the OYW Gundam's inner frame
ReplyDeleteFor old Gundam MSVs like th FA, I feel it really has to use Okawara's old proportions.
ReplyDeleteI like 'em all. FA gundam has been my favorite ever since reading the Origins story (or was it the OYW manga?) Just glad we finally got an official plamo of it.
ReplyDeleteVegita82259 did the conversion kit for the OYW version of the RX-78 recently and I must say that it looks alot better after painting.

I like the katoki design. I like his designs in general; the proportions and shapes look so cool. However, I find a model which is a ver ka tends to be iffy. The resin kit Vegeta8259 reviewed recently looks pretty spiffy, but I'd DEFINITELY paint it in the blue scheme.
ReplyDeleteKa. FTW =)
ReplyDeleteI have a Amuro verison of 1b too :)
