C.Jin's MG Wishlist

Like I said, I've made my own Master Grade wishlist, which is basically a list of Mobile Suits that would really like to get Master Grade models made for them. And who knows, some of these might possibly get the MG treatment in the near future. Considering how popular some of them are, its definitely not impossible. I recently saw a dream come true with the Wing Gundam getting a MG, so hope is still gleaming.

Also, I want to know some of your own wishlists, so share them if you'd like!

------------------------------------
1. Gundam Heavyarms Customs
------------------------------------


It's a fan favorite, everybody wants it and Bandai knows it. What's taking so long Bandai? This beauty of a Gundam debuted in the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz OVA, and has been praised for its dark appearance and overkill arsenal of weapons. The 1/100 no grade was good for its time, but its aged badly and really in need of a Master Grade. Possibility of a future release? Slim but existent. 

-------------------------
2. Wing Gundam Zero
-------------------------


And speaking of Gundam Wing, where is the Master Grade for the original Wing Zero design? Sure, the Endless Waltz Wing Zero was impressive but this design deserves some justice too! It's predecessor got the MG treatment quite recently, maybe the Zero will follow shortly? Speaking of which, here's what I believe is a modified work built from the MG Wing Gundam (according to Ngee Khiong)


Excuse my fangasm but that looks bloody incredible. It's just as a Master Grade should look like. Use this mod and get working Bandai!

3. Gundam X/Divider
------------------------



Gundam X, the anime and the Gundam, is so underrated. I've always liked this design, and I really think they should treat this main Gundam with a little more respect. The Gundam X Divider always holds a place in my heart because the 1/144 model of it was my very first Gundam model. The moment I add the MG to my collection, I'm just going to feel so complete. And you may have noticed that I included both versions of the GX; well that's because I think parts for both versions can be included in one big kit. It may cost a little extra, but its definitely worth it.

------------------------
4. Akatsuki Gundam
------------------------


Look how fucking shiny it is! That's the 1/144 scale model you're seeing up there by the way. The main appeal of this Gundam is its gold plating, and who wouldn't a shining Master Grade of the Akatsuki? It's such a must in my book.

5. Tallgeese
--------------


Gundam Wing had some great designs, too bad they never got to making any Master Grades for them (Wing Gundam got one JUST now). The closest we have to a view of a MG Tallgeese is a work from fitchenfoo.net, image posted above. Looks amazing, doesn't it? I've always respected the Tallgeese and I love its white, simple design. The day Tallgeese gets MG treatment, I'm throwing a party. I swear.

  1. Out of this list I can imagine Wing Zero and Tallgeese to get into MG, but not so sure about the others. X finally got some love in the form of a HGAW line. Divider shouldn't be too far away now, I hope. :\

  2. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the designs the AC mobile suits (not just the Gundams themselves) not getting any attention, but I think I got one better suggestion:

    Since GW will be celebrating it's 15th next year, how about Bandai releasing MG and HG 1/144 ver. 2.0 kits from the AC eras, even if it the latter are integrated into their 'HG across the UC' lineup? I could sure buy the entire Tallgeese lineup, even as a single set... XD


    P.S. I propose a special mention to Epyon to receive the MG treatment; It was already BA during the series, why not do one better?
