i finished Gundam 00 (the anime, i still gotta watch the sequel movie) and i'd like to highlight this very serious moment in the plot where Lockon's Haro gets dragged away by the sea

SETSUNA F. SEIEI

[billveusay]

I haven't finished Gundam 00 yet, but I have to say I love that little dynamic of Setsuna and Tieria at episode 20. "Fuck you" "Fuck you" "But REALLY fuck those guys" "Yeah, fuck 'em" "Let's go kill them" "Bitch you're on"

Ultimately, each of the Gundam meisters is on a quest for identity. Setsuna is from a country that no longer exists and a faith he no longer follows. Krugis was absorbed into Azadistan, and after his experiences as a child soldier, Setsuna no longer believes in a god or higher power. Lockon is from a country that has fought tooth and nail for its independence for centuries, and he has to watch his country slowly fade out of existence. While Neil undeniably cares for the rest of the Ptolemaios crew, he doesn’t know who he is outside his quest for revenge. Lyle steps into the shoes and cockpit of a dead man and every time his crew mates look at him, all they see is the ghost of the brother whose shadow he is trying to escape. Allelujah is perhaps the most obvious case, given his DID. He tries to suppress Hallelujah and keep his alter hidden, but when he accepts his alter he is even stronger than before. Tieria was created by a computer and has to discover who he wants to be aside from his programming, what being an Innovator means for him and how to be walk the line of being both Innovator and human.

MS Mechanical Bust GN-001 "Gundam Exia" Trans-Am ver. Full Set

Another Mechanical Bust! I really enjoyed the first one, and wanted to build another. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the specific gachapon machine anywhere close by. Luckily I found a set of Gundam Exia (Trans-Am version) online, and I was fortunate enough to get all three kits the first time.

Just like the MS Mechanical Bust Gundam Aerial, this kit comes in three potential parts: A clear bust, a solid bust, and a mechanical internal bust with lighting system. Knowing how Aerial went together ahead of time, I knew to mod the lights on the mechanical version ahead of time.

The green LED is super high quality and really makes the GN drive glow, although unfortunately it drowns out the neat writing detail on the trans-green piece.

I chose to put the clear parts (all in a really nice trans-pink) on one of the included extra display busts, which lacks a lot of the detail of the mechanical busts but allows you to build a bust kit no matter which one of the three options you get.

Just like the Aerial, this went together really nicely, although I found I had to glue some pieces to keep them securely in place, unlike with a proper gunpla kit.

The colour quality is really nice, and it sells the red Trans-Am glow pretty well. It also looks great lit up, although unfortunately I wasn't able to get the extra white LED to glow very brightly, making the eyes and other head units a little dull.

Regardless it was a really fun kit to build. I just wish it was a mainline series of model kits like SD Gunpla, rather than relying on gachapon mechanics. If I hadn't gotten lucky in getting one of each, I would've ended up with duplicates or be unable to build a proper bust kit with all the lighting and interior detail I wanted.
