Gundam Seed Model Kits from Bandai

I suppose, but still, the gundams look pretty cool even when they aren't painted. I mean, they do have colors, stickers and whatnot.
I assume with the figurines that they are entirely unpainted, or am I wrong?

Yes, they come in the skin colour and are totally unpainted, even the eyeballs are not coloured. You have to add in your own paint and make it anime styled. It's a totally different kind of painting from Gundam, and would require a different set of paint and brushes.

Although the Gundam kits come with stickers it cannot be compared to those of air brushed quality. I used to just use Gundam markers for my Gundams but after seeing what a friend can do with an air brush I got hooked and addicted to modelling : )

On another note, here's my collection of GSD gashapon figures. I actually got 2 stellars and gave one away. Pic's a little small as I took it with my phone camera.

@Psyke: Indeed, stickers cannot begin to compare to actual painting. However, my interest is not big enough (yet anyhow) to do all that work... but one day, maybe.

I found this off of another forum:



I-Justice (1/100) looks impressive =D

terra, i know you prolly dont read the upcoming seed events and thoughts, but here is yzak's new unit, that navy/grey gouf


and also, i think this version of the slash zaku is the best ( im getting this 1), its not as big as a 1/144, but has a lot more detail, and is prebuild and painted
Msia slash zaku

and oh yeah, before you ban me for spoiling or something
here is yzak's gouf in ED4 : yzak gouf

This is not considered a spoiler since the suit has been in the ending, as poster states.

The figures are unpainted in (a skin color)
Except for the new Destiny 1/100 line, they have a Data-card instead.

The next 1/100 might be the Strike-Freedom Gundam(Aug. release):


It looks on the side of the box that the Dragoons are detachable =)



Looks rather chubby, I'm planning to wait to see if there will be a MG version ^_^

Woo hooo I'm gonna get this! Sure it doesn't look as good as the MG versions, but they won't come out till perhaps next year.
