HGBD:R 1/144 P-Bandai Planets System PFF-X7 "Core Gundam" [Real Type Colour] + Planets System Armour Unit PFF-X7/M4 "Marsfour Gundam" (Dive Into Dimension Clear)

This is the second of three core-system gunpla I've bought over the past few months. I was looking for a Marsfour to go along with my Earthree, and found this one pretty nicely discounted instead. While I don't usually go for clear kits, especially when the white is this sort of milky translucent clear instead of true clear, the cool sparkles within the plastic sold it for me.

The kit contains both a recolor of the Core Gundam, in the "Real Type Colour", resembling Tomino's initial RX-78-2 palette, as well as the base parts for the Marsfour. Disappointingly, despite being a P-Bandai version of the kit, the weapons were not included.

Just as with the Earthree's core gundam, this little unit is nicely articulated. It comes with a small beam spray gun and the core gundam's half-shield.

The shield nicely shows off the new weathering technique I've been trying out. This combines a heavy drybrushing of dark. gunmetal, a top pass of light silver (Citadel Necron compound works really nicely for this), and some Tamiya gunmetal pigment powder to catch the high edges (Weathering Kit C). I think I really managed to bring out the edges and portray a distressed look, as well as enhance the contrast and bring out a lot of the smaller details.

Again, like the previous kit, there are two small beam saber effects for the core gundam, this time in a really nice super clear trans-yellow.

The yellow effects work nicely with the gold foil stickers for the eyes and auxiliary sensors.

Like the Earthree Gundam, the Marsfour parts build into a support plane. A lot of the parts are nearly identical to the Earthree, with similar forearms, skirt, and leg design, but with an overall spikier design aesthetic.

Forming the full Gundam works just as I outlined in my Earthree review, and the final form looks just as impressive.

Unfortunately unlike the Earthree there's no shield upgrade or gun extension, and the backpack lacks the cool wings from the Earthree as well. Instead, the gimmick of the Marsfour armour is the two flip-out claw/shields attached to the forearms. Thankfully the core-sized beam spray gun still looks ok on the full Marsfour. Again, like Earthree, there are a pair of longer beam effects to use alongside the bigger armoured-up gundam.

As both kits utilize the "Core" system, you can mix and match pieces from Earthree and Marsfour together. I really like this concept, as it lets you customize a final form with your favorite colours and gimmicks. If cash wasn't a concern I'd definitely try and collect as many of the other kits as possible to mix and match.

The Marsfour/Earthree combo still looks really nice, however.

Overall I had fun with this kit. Cleanup is a little more difficult with a clear kit, as is panel lining. It turned out a lot messier than I would've liked, and it was hard to see where all the grooves were. I probably won't bother with any future clear kits. It was also difficult to hide or sand away the nub marks.

Overall, while I'm upset at how these kits are priced, and sold independent of their weapon upgrades, I still really enjoy the concept. I have one more core-system kit to show off for now, which should show up in the next couple of months. I really think it's worth trying at least one of this type of kit, if you enjoy HGs.

Interested to hear other modeler's experiences with clear kits.

Okay, as someone who's only interaction with Gundam has been SD world and Great Battle, is there a good point to start with the "main" series? (Is there even a main series?)

Yes there is a main series… multiple technically.

GN-0000DVR/II Gundam 00 Diver Arc

Let's continue our very unneeded and out-of-date deconstruction of Build Metaverse with looking at how the show handled Build Divers. As far as characters go, it probably did the best overall job, with four of the six main cast members returning, as well as Magee. We also get to see them interact with each other, and not just Rio or characters from other seasons. Having both Riku and Ayame get new Gunpla is also a big bonus.

Though I am not without complaints, as this is another instance where they put the original character designs over the updated ones, and it's even more egregious here because those aged up versions of those characters interacted directly with the Re:Rise cast and had decent screen time, unlike Sei who was only ever hinted at. It's pushing nostalgia for something that's not even 5 years old.

The Kit: The kit is mostly the 00 Diver again with a few new pieces, though unlike the Shin Burning, it's a bit more hit or miss. The GN Drives are probably the best we've ever gotten on a High Grade, with the full wing units capable of a ton of poses and gimmicks, and the Drives themselves being multi-layered and capable of opening and closing. They also use metallic stickers for the GN Particle effect.

But things like the chest and horns aren't as great, feeling loose in places. It's the first time since the Seltsam that I've had to glue something to keep it in place. And I understand why they chose to redo the Diver instead of the Sky, since we recently got the 00 Sky Moebius, but it's weird that Riku is the only character to not get his ultimate unit upgraded.

The Details: Apart from the usual panel lining and black fill, I used metallic green underneath the translucent green elements, similar to what I did with the Shin Burning. I also used metallic blue on the eyes, cameras, and a few other places like the feet and elbows.

And, as I mentioned, the chest would not hold together, so I had to use a dab of glue to hold it in place.

Overall, while the tolerance issues were a bummer, I can definitely see myself buying multiples of this kit in the future just for those GN Drives. They're that good. Apart from all that, it's a decent kit with a lot of non-intrusive gimmicks. So I'd say it's a good grab, but be aware of its issues.

new gundam build divers series set in a vrmmo like re:rise but every player starts out with gwitch exclusive grunt suits like the gundvolva or the lfrith pre-production model that they can upgrade and customize the more wins they have under their belts

every mobile suit shown so far would be gwitch suits, with the rare few "ace" gundams that resemble suits from other AUs but still following design philosophies with gwitch

in-game missions would be either simple swarming on an objective to destroy it or more involved squad-based missions where tactics and communication matter

the protagonist for this would be an antisocial teen girl who'd recently isolated herself after a chain of bad experiences in school and wants nothing but to escape from the world by immersing herself in gaming.

she's played long enough that she managed to upgrade the default gundvolva into something that works for her, a few tweaks to enhance it's performance and a modular load out that she wouldn't miss if her suit is ever destroyed (since you'd have to buy the gear over again if it's lost)

in a squad-based mission with her nextdoor neighbor and childhood friend (also a girl) and a few randos, they run into what the community refers to as the "Game Over Boss": a gundam that randomly appears and uses multiple GundBits to overwhelm any opposition. Let's call this the Aerial Revive

naturally, the party TPKs, but the protag holds her own on enough that the Aerial Revive stands over her fallen mobile suit. the shell units on the Revive turn blue and the protag is suddenly facing a red haired child

it's Eri

surprise, this is a gwitch sequel

Meet the Seiyuu: Deuce Spade

In 2021 both Deuce’s VA Kobayashi Chiaki and Epel’s VA Tsuchiya were selected for “Rookie of the Year” awards. In 2022, the radio show he hosts with VA Kobayashi Yusuke (no relation, Kobayashi is a very common surname) won the “Best Creative Radio” award by popular vote.

He worked with Ruggie’s VA Ichikawa on both Sonny Boy and Boogiepop Phantom. Here is a 2021 interview the two had together.

Kobayashi is real-life friends with Ruggie’s Ichikawa, and the two host a regular web show on Nico Nico. Their most recent video is available here:

His first lead role in an anime was in 2018’s “Butlers: Chitose Momotose Monogatari” as Kyoichi Sano. He has since voiced lead characters in 16 anime including Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, Y School Heroes, GREAT PRETENDER, Moriarty the Patriot, SK8 the Infinity, Fanfare of Adolescence, Shoot! Goal to the Future (with Epel’s VA Tsuchiya) and Arknights: Prelude to Dawn.

He has voiced lead characters in 8 video games including DANKIRA!!! – Boys, be DANCING! and For Whom the Alchemist Exists.

He has had roles on over 30 drama CDs, including the lead role of Sayama Masaki alongside Ace’s VA Yamashita as Date Yuusei in “Hizamazuite Ai o Tou” (NSFW).

Kobayashi has hosted three different episodes of Twisted Radio Station, all three available with English subtitles.

Episode 2 (with Ruggie’s Ichikawa)

Episode 3 (with Sebek’s Ishiya)

Episode 6 (with Ace’s Yamashita)

He also hosts a regular YouTube show, “Kobayashi Chiaki’s Blue Monologue”, where he spends half an hour talking about pretty much whatever he likes.

The most recent episode (as of this tweet) is number 64, viewable here:

He also voices Sora Yakumo in Mayonaka Danshi Meshi alongside Idia’s VA Uchiyama and Crewel’s VA Ito.

All three twst voice actors appear in this installment:

Kobayashi seems to prefer radio-style shows over being on camera, but he does appear in this brief promotion of the 2021 animated movie “Summer Ghost”, where he voiced main protagonist Suzusaki Tomoya alongside Silver’s VA Shimazaki.
