    well, the MG Dwadge used them and these seem to be reworked Dom/Rick Dom from that modification so it makes sense they popped the MP-2 sprue in there.:)

    I keep forgetting that the MG Dwadge even exists. Not being a UC fan, I'm not even sure I knew there was such a thing as the Dwadge until the MG was announced.

    Same, but you wouldn't really know unless you were very familiar with ZZ since that's the only time it really appears.

    Don't feel bad. Watching UC episode 4, I thought it was a Desert-Use Dom Tropen... my memories of "0083" and another attack on Torrington blinded me.

    As long as we're playing games with the Memory Hole of Mobile Suits, just remember this is not a standard AEUG model Nemo.

    That was a Dom Tropen. They made a P-Bandai release of it as the Unicorn version which was identical to the mass release of the Sand Brown color with one additional new accessory: a right hand that's holding the grenades that get thrown in Episode 4.

    Good to know I'm still right, but I thought there was another during that pseudo - Jet Stream Attack that heathawk'd the Guncannon DT.


    ...been a while since I last watched UC.

    Just rewatched the attack and you're right - there is a Dwadage! It appears the most significant details in difference is that the Dwadage has antenna sticking out of its back along with Zeta-era style double pipes on either side of the head. It also has a vented rear skirt but for obvious reasons this is not always able to be seen.

    All the reason why I thought it was a Desert Type Dom.

    That reminds me, HLJ randomly filled my MG Blitz backorder! That's pretty exciting, and I'm hoping they can get a Gundam X in soon. I want to build a good chunk in my PW to save on shipping.

    Yeah, I want this kit but I don't want to pay that price for it. I've been through BBTS for exclusives before the P.Bandai US store existed a few times too many already.

    Took long enough to finish this grinding marathon of Midget Gundams. After a good priming and a layer of silver and teal, the eyes are colored in and I can paint the masks around them.

    20210921_232138.jpg

    Weapon sights and the big sensor on the shields too.

    20210921_232148.jpg

    Then all that was left to do are the forehead jewels.
    No need to worry about mistaking which one goes with what kit, the Titans Core is the odd one out. I was almost ready to paint its eyes and sensors in red to match, but the eyes are supposed to be teal.

    20210923_232902.jpg

    This finishes four kits in one night, minus an eventual topcoat, bringing me to 264 finished Gunpla. I give Bandai credit for making miniature, non SD Gundams, that have a parts count of a normal sized, later generation High Grade kit and seven times more addictive to build.

    20210924_001329.jpg

    And just for posterity, a picture of just the three essential Core Gundam II's.

    20210924_001420.jpg

    I'll get around to the shenanigans pictures with the four original Core Gundams later.. I'm a little too tired for foolery right now.
    Tune in next month when I get the Core, Core II, and Alus pack in the mail from the Expo, and I fight the temptation for an Anima Rize.

    This also means I finally get to attach Planet Armor to their dedicated Cores.

    I was really close to entering for the Unicorn Nike shoes, but I decided against it due to budget concerns, annoyance at the lottery system, and the fact that in my life I have never worn high top shoes and I didn't want to drop over a hundred quid on a pair of shoes I wasn't certain would be good (and even then, the chance to get them would be uncertain).

    My father's philosophy is never compromise on your feet or your stomach. But in this case I'd make the exception. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a pair of shoes, at least try them on and make sure they're worth it.

    ...this is why I've gotten the same pair of Wolverine 6" boots any time I've needed new shoes.
