Note: When I'm talking about unstable RGs, the pictures are out of sync. The MK.2 is one of the most stable RGs in the entire line (and was therefor supposed to show up when I said that the RG line was looking for stability) Join the giveaway: ua-cam.com/video/JkpxNvVzP0w/v-deo.html Good luck to everyone! And here's a bonus fact about the Tallgeese: The Japanese wikipedia claims that its name it derived from theurgist. ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/トールギス
I have always wondered about the name. I had not suspected that origin, but it makes sense in a weird way. I just figured maybe it was a corruption of Betelgeuse or something. Given Rick Dom means "Remake Dom", all bets are off.
I find it sorta funny that as of right now, we have a real grade, high difficulty Tallgeese Real Grade, and a scaled down, less expensive, easy to build, but still satisfying Leo High Grade. Art imitating lore. Feels fitting,
The Tallgeese 1 uses Shell but the Tallgeese 2 has the exact same looking Rifle but it fires Beams. I think in Gundam Breaker if you just tap fire it shoots a shell but if you hold it fires a continuous beam.
Now that I've watched an old clip, it seems that it behaves like both. I think it all comes to the inconsistency of the anime. Besides that, I can't really think of any reasons why a beam gun would need a recoil mechanism. If you check this clip at 1:50, that is definitely a old-school ballistic cannon ua-cam.com/video/5C1XabSetfA/v-deo.htmlm50s
It might have both normal shells and some kind of plasma shells (similar to Star Wars blasters) explaining why sometimes it looks like its firing a big beam.
From what I can gather, the dober gun was a shell-firing weapon that was upgraded into a beam cannon, whereas the Tallgeese II was always armed with the beam dober gun. This, of course, is likely a retcon for what may have been a mistake, same as the mystery of "Does Epyon have vulcans and, if so, does that run contrary to Treize's beliefs about honorable combat?"
That's what I was thinking. The Virgo's planet defensors look like they can block most projectile weapons in the AC timeline, so why shouldn't Trieze upgrade the cannon? Plus, the Tallgeese 3 was constructed at the same time and it had a beam cannon. Or yeah, people forgot what weapons each MS carried. That happens.
If the Dobergun had a beam variant, it was *probably* the original version the Tallgeese ran. When the Tallgeese was put into mass production as the scaled down Leo, the Leo didn't have a powerful enough reactor to use such a massive beam weapon, so a shell firing variant was used.
Awesome that the TV colors Tallgeese is coming this summer. Would be so cool if a TV design Real Grade Heavyarms with the beam saber stashed in the left arm was soon to follow, to recreate that epic arctic battle!
One thing I'm getting from watching a few reviews of this is how solid it is which is a great thing. That's one thing i like about RG Gunpla, the evolution, how they improve over the course of the years since they started this series. Sure, they were a bit too ambitious with some of them(Zeta, Zephyrathes, Sinanju) but now looking at the Unicorn and this one I hope they keep that level of quality for the remainder of the series while improving even more stuff.
It looks like it has the best ab crunch out of all the RG's. As far as the inner frame goes i think the way they're doing it makes the kits more stable. So far the unicorn, banshee and now the tallgeese have moved away from the full pre-built inner frame for ones that you have to build up for the most part and they are better for it. Can't wait to get this and im hoping the RG Sazabi inner frame is made like this.
After seeing the Build Divers' Leo NPD using the Dober Gun, it's safe to say that it is a shell-firing weapon that uses solid munitions. Also kind of pointless to have an anti-tank gun-like muzzle brake if firing linear beams...
3:57 “The body itself doesn’t go side to side.” Yeah… I forgot about that and broke the waist joint on mine. Then I tried gluing it back together, and not only did it not work, but I also glued the individual pieces of the joint together. And since I don’t live in Japan, I can’t order replacement runners. I’m gonna have to either find another kit, scratch build something, or just glue the whole thing together and accept that I won’t have an ab crunch at all. Damn shame because I was really loving the build. This was my first (and so far only) mini Master Grade RG.
I've wanted a HG Tallgeese for years, I never expect that they'd go straight up to a RG AND also give us a HG Leo. The fact they've waited so long to do them has meant they've had all of these years of experience so now they're both absolutely fantastic kits. I can now easily say to people "if you don't know what to get me, buy me a Leo"
While I'm happy for the Leo and the Tallgeese, I'm still waiting for HG releases of the Gundams from the show. We have Wing, we have Wing Zero, but Heavy Arms, Death Scythe, Altron, Sand Rock, Epyon, Tallgeese 1, 2, and 3 all have their kits stuck between 1995-1998 with mostly unpainted plastic and laughable articulation. Knowing our luck, we'll get a Tallgeese III that's P-Bandai.
@@GuntPulp To be fair, the MG hasn't aged well in some areas. It's still a fantastic kit don't get me wrong, but I genuinely believe Epyon needs an update in both 1/144 and 1/100 scale.
They learned a lot from both the RG Unicorn and RG Sinanju and put everything into this kit. That hatch holding the back should have been something on the Sinanju.
It always makes me wonder why AC mobile suits are so much lighter then UC mobile suits. For example The Wing Gundam is 7.1t and the XR-78-2 is 43.4 to 60t.
Because whoever came up with those stats was just bad at making reasonable weight stats. Granted, most MS are absurdly light for their size and complexity, given an M1 Abrams is about 54 tons.
I remember having built the original 1/144 scale kit. This one looks good. It's so weird I have not seen this design in a while. I will pick this one up despite my hatred for Zechs Marguise
I plan on getting this kit. I’m still struggling to decide wether or not to paint this in the classic Char red or keep it white and yellow. I love primarily white MS (as long as it’s done right, and this one does), but I also like red, Char/Char clone MS.
Am I the only one having problems with the side skirts? Like for some reason the panels just won't stay shut it keeps opening, is it supposed to snap in? I'm too afraid to force it in those white parts are so brittle
At the moment, my only "disapointment" with the Tallgeese is that the parts, unlike the old HGFA Tallgeese 3, you can't take the parts to make a Capricorn. And the faceplate removal, also, doesn't have the correct head for the Tallgeese Zi-Long...because the head without it is not Leo enough there.
The MG was the 3rd kit I ever got and I enjoyed it greatly, still have it on a stand on my shelf and it's pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying the Real Grade and now I really want the real grade anyway. Seems like they just fixed the minor issues with the master grade version and turned it into an RG. Love it.
At first, I was sold on the aesthetics (more so after seeing it on display in a convention), articulation, and stability; but those rather fragile verniers kinda put me off a bit, considering I only have one RG so far (thus IDK if I can handle it properly)….. Nevertheless, I have to get the RG Wing Gundam EW to complement this (along with the HGAC Leo). Oh, and calling it already: P-Bandai Tallgeese II and III. And I guess RG Leo (then again, we don’t have an RG GM yet)?
Oh damn, those pictures are out of sync. The Mk.2 is supposed to show up when I say that the RG line is looking for stability. Thanks for pointing that out, will add it to the pinned comment.
yes, but can you explain why they felt the need to make it's crotch pop with a hidden mechanism? operating under the assumption that bandai are just memelords, but an in universe explanation would be good to.
My first kit ever was the HG Tallgeese from back in the 90's. It was pretty bad. Only thing i dont like about this kit is the lower leg shape which isnt really accurate.
I mean at the end of the day its not something that would make or break a buy for me. If it is a great kit, the shape of the legs wont make the kit bad, just witshed it kept the shape in the series.
You know I understand some people don't like the thick lower legs on this thing - and that's fine of course, but how can you say it's not "accurate"? That is how the Tallgeese legs look in the original art. That's as "accurate" as it gets.
Anyone notice the non canon extra vernier, I like it but it through me for a loop, since I never saw it in the anime or the MG and was like did I miss something! I think its technically more in line with the Tallgeese Valkyrie of Gundam Build Fighters which had the extra one. Wonderfully dense details, honestly if you ignore the non-canon part of the vernier(like it or not, just for comparison of expected features) then all the MG seems have on those thrusters is the automatic foldout. Always loved this mobile suit, finally a good 1/144 of it hope the rest of wing get this treatment to a extent.
I think that third vernier was also on the MG, probably an addition by Katoki. He designed the original, but still spiced up all of the main suits for Endless Waltz/Ver KA designs for the mastergrades.
*slowly takes out credit card from wallet* just gonna make a quick trip to the store P.S what are your opinion for rg strike, freedom, 00, and strike freedom?
BadBatchTGD The 00 kits were the most solid kits before the Unicorn and Tallgeese came around. I have the 00 Gundam and love it. You can attach it's shields the the side skirts and it comes with the parts to make it the Movie 00 with the GN Condensers. More or less if you liked the HG "00 Riser + GN Sword III" then the RG does everything better.
RG strike is flismy and I feel like the HGCE is a better deal. The Freedom is getting there in terms of stability and the gimmick with the wings is totally worth it if you're into the Freedom. Don't have the 00 or SF (and don't plan on getting them)
it's much better than THE-O having it's rifle holstered on it's crotch, I've seen pictures on Pinterest and Facebook, custom build and the rifle holstered on the crotch is more disturbing to see
Wing isn't a bad series, but it has a number of issues, like not adequately explaining things. The gundam pilots, for instance, some of them go episodes without it bothering to say who they are, character motivations aren't always well established, and it can be confusing on if Heero and the others are superhuman or not. (Heero literally bends metal bars with his bare hands, and Trowa leaps like 20 feet into the air, Quatre is a psychic). It's a weird show, but I think it succeeds in spite of all that.
The Tallgees........the prototype of all gundam in wing........(begins to fan girl.) Also for the abridged fans "and THAT'S why I used a heavy ass ground unit in space!"
Aiden Ly XD THIS SIR/MADAM! MADE MY DAY! THANK YOU! Funny thing is in my fan made Gundam universe I made two Tallgees type suits: one for mobile suits in general , and one for the gundam. The gundam one being AX-0027Ž-97: codename: Starlight waltz.
Leo get a HGAC release. Since Leo is originally from Tallgeese, thr possibility of a HGAC release is pretty high. I only wished for a HGCE Destiny instead
Well not really. It's more like a redesign of the TV version, much as the MG was. It's derived from an old illustration that included the so-called "Early Type" Gundams: Katoki's Endless Waltz designs adapted to look more like the TV versions. This version of the Tallgeese has a different color scheme (mostly white, with yellow trim, as opposed to the TV version's black-and-white color scheme) and a few significant design changes like the head and dober gun.
Most rgs have 1 retail variant... Let's hope for the tallgeese 3 at retail.... Who am I kidding, the 2 will be retail and the 3 p bandai..... Bandai logic
Why is it always the Endless Waltz version? Can't we have a TV version with proportion fixes instead of something redesigned and then slapped the Endless Waltz name to it. I mean Endless Waltz was just an OVA/Movie so why they keep making kits that aren't from "Endless Waltz". By the way, I want a Leo that isn't slapped with the Endless Waltz name. Also not to hate on Katoki since he did have great ideas and his 0083 and OVA/Movie "Endless Waltz" which were his original work was amazing, but I'm pretty sure that the whole Ver. Ka kits started this trend.
Oh yeah the Glory of Losers. I don't consider it cannon since its a manga retelling the TV based on Endless Waltz and honestly besides it connecting to Endless Waltz, it connects to Frozen Teardrop, which I don't give a dang about (it sounds like fanfic). So honestly, I don't care about that manga since I already have an animated TV series and the Endless Waltz OVA/Movie. It's like saying Gundam: The Origin (manga) is completely cannon or saying that all the Star Wars side stories that were retconned cannon. It's up to the reader/viewer to think its cannon. The manga wasn't really necessary in my opinion. Also Battlefield of the Pacifists wasn't that interesting either so I didn't need it to watch Endless Waltz. I just didn't consider the Endless Waltz mangas cannon and definitely not Frozen Teardrop. I bet more people watched the series and/or Endless Waltz than read these manga. Also I was trying to make a point that I rather see an updated TV version of the mobile suits since we keep getting the "Endless Waltz". If they release a Leo, I wouldn't be surprise to see the Endless Waltz logo slapped on there when there really is no point.
Dániel Deák Titans have much heavier weaponry, barring a few suits that have crazy weapons that can stomp a fleet. The biggest advantage mobile suits have is much higher mobility than your typical titan, or even an imperial knight. That said most mobile suits would crumble like paper in the face of typical titan weaponry, except for the few that have explicitly anti plasma defenses(i-fields). In a straight fight it all relies on the mobile suit taking pot shots while avoiding the titan's weaponry, except for any suits that have actual beam cannons or hyper mega launchers, heck the wing variants have blown colonies. Epyon could possibly beat a titan since it sliced an entire space station, even more for the 00.

I have the MG EW Tallgeese, and 90 % of this RG seems to be a scaled down version of the MG
I find it sorta funny that as of right now, we have a real grade, high difficulty Tallgeese Real Grade, and a scaled down, less expensive, easy to build, but still satisfying Leo High Grade.
Art imitating lore. Feels fitting,
That actually makes a whole lot of sense.
Ah, the large swan.
the real goose
And a cure for cancer
The big duck.
The great bird.
The Massive Waterfowl.
consider the fact that it has a recoil mechanism, I say that it is definitely a shell-firing gun
Yeah, that's exactly what I think about it too.
The Dober gun on the tallgeese II is a beam weapon iirc

It was never a beam gun
I've heard a theory that the Vulcans were added by Zechs to add point defense from missiles and such.
If the Dobergun had a beam variant, it was *probably* the original version the Tallgeese ran. When the Tallgeese was put into mass production as the scaled down Leo, the Leo didn't have a powerful enough reactor to use such a massive beam weapon, so a shell firing variant was used.

This video was the first Tallgeese review that i watched,it must be 3 times faster than the other reviewers.
I'm waiting for the Shortgoose
just cut the tallgeese in half
More like "Shortduck" lol
why not chicken?
At 1/144 vs 1/100 this is the shortgeese
I love this kit so much that I bought and built the pbandai tv colors version as well, it looks awesome! Might make the EW version into Flugel
It looks like it has the best ab crunch out of all the RG's. As far as the inner frame goes i think the way they're doing it makes the kits more stable. So far the unicorn, banshee and now the tallgeese have moved away from the full pre-built inner frame for ones that you have to build up for the most part and they are better for it.

Nice to see the engineering ideas from the Unicorn paid off for the future of RG's.
they're gonna need it for that Sazabi monster.
I makes me sad it came too late for the Sinanju, who may be in the running for worst RG due to it.
If the Epyon, Heavyarms, Sandrock get the HG or RG treatment, in the words of Fry “Shut up and take my money!”
After seeing the Build Divers' Leo NPD using the Dober Gun, it's safe to say that it is a shell-firing weapon that uses solid munitions. Also kind of pointless to have an anti-tank gun-like muzzle brake if firing linear beams...

Something you forgot about the articulation: you can pull out the shoulder joint to get more forward and backwards motion.
It looks beautiful... I never had a tallgeese kit... Im gonna get this one... Thanks for this review kakarot197... :)
"do you want to buy this?" bruh, i've already pre-ordered it XD thanks for the vid, now i can't wait any longer for mine to arrive and the Leo by june
i'm waiting for RG Gundam Epyon
Don't hold your breath, I think you will be waiting a long time for that. Best to get the MG
@@GuntPulp
To be fair, the MG hasn't aged well in some areas. It's still a fantastic kit don't get me wrong, but I genuinely believe Epyon needs an update in both 1/144 and 1/100 scale.
A RG would definitely interesting. Especially if they go with the EW version to go along with the Wing Zero EW, the whole angel and demon dynamic.
Still waiting
damn
More tight and solid than the Unicorn(s), Nu and Sazabi. Still the best RG to date imo.
Love how you switch on the beam sabers :D
hey kakarot you forgot to add this oine to the rg playlist :)
They learned a lot from both the RG Unicorn and RG Sinanju and put everything into this kit. That hatch holding the back should have been something on the Sinanju.
Vladimir Mihnea you do know the rg sinanju had a chest locking mechanism for the backpack?
Jetfire48 well I can't say I did.
@@DariusVladimirAuditore how so?
But the real question, will we see a RG Leo?
WatcherMovie008 maybe but the Leo is a different size compared to the Tallgeese.
i wish bandai do make them since leo were a simplified version of tallgeese on all aspect like the ass thruster
It kinda defeats the purpose of the upcoming HG though.
But it’s still possible, it’ll probably be P-Bandai anyway.
I actually love that the Leo is a High Grade, and thus a simplified version of the Tallgeese model. It's kinda fitting.
WatcherMovie008 and now all I can think of is a line from gundam wing abridged "AND THAT'S WHY I USED A HEAVY ASS GROUND UNIT!"
the Dober Gun has a surprisingly large number of parts
Thats one good looking tallgeese
Thanks for the review, was planning to get this kit but changed my mind. Gonna get Unicorn instead.
Surprised you didn't mention the weird articulation with the front skirt and booster, it was really distracting while I built this kit
this one does not have a front skirt
he was talking about the weird crouch booster
Wow that looks amazing compared to the OG 1/144 scale tallgeese kit i had back in the late 90's
RG kits scare me to death. I really hope they make an HG TV version of the Tallgeese (and I don't mean the old 1/100!)
Not me since I'm one of those who build it and then never touch it again for the next half a year. Only reposing it again like twice a year
RG keep getting better and more solid starting from Unicorn
Great review
It always makes me wonder why AC mobile suits are so much lighter then UC mobile suits. For example The Wing Gundam is 7.1t and the XR-78-2 is 43.4 to 60t.
Because whoever came up with those stats was just bad at making reasonable weight stats. Granted, most MS are absurdly light for their size and complexity, given an M1 Abrams is about 54 tons.
Good thing I pre-ordered this
Have got this ordered planning on doing a minor kitbash with another kit
I remember having built the original 1/144 scale kit. This one looks good. It's so weird I have not seen this design in a while. I will pick this one up despite my hatred for Zechs Marguise
You could hold out for a Tallgeese II RG, though that'd probably be a p-bandai.
Shit bro. One of your earliest reviews to date!!
I plan on getting this kit. I’m still struggling to decide wether or not to paint this in the classic Char red or keep it white and yellow. I love primarily white MS (as long as it’s done right, and this one does), but I also like red, Char/Char clone MS.
This is looking awesome. When Bandai knocks RGs out of the park...
What should I buy ? A rg or a mg ?
Is it fine to play around with or the joints would get too loose/weak easily?
If you're not too rough with it, it ought to be alright. depends entirely on how you are playing with it
What marker did you use? Is that black? Or grey?
This bad boy shall be mine!!
Woah look at those cankles.
What should I get for $50? I was thinking about getting the rg unicorn but then i wouldn't have much for anything else
The reason I (would) buy this gunpla? because I loved Tallgeese unit!
cool lightsaber montaje effect)
Also the hg barbatos lupus came with both straight holding hands and angled hands
What's the difference between the mg tallgeese vs the rg apart from the size and price?? I want to buy one but I can't decide which version
RGs are compact PG units, more parts than an MG and details to go with it
Am I the only one having problems with the side skirts? Like for some reason the panels just won't stay shut it keeps opening, is it supposed to snap in? I'm too afraid to force it in those white parts are so brittle
When i get this kit, wether i win it or have to buy it.im gonna repaint it in tv colors
Says to be sure to get this thing
Me: "Well, I'm trying. You just gotta pick me for the give away."
At the moment, my only "disapointment" with the Tallgeese is that the parts, unlike the old HGFA Tallgeese 3, you can't take the parts to make a Capricorn.
And the faceplate removal, also, doesn't have the correct head for the Tallgeese Zi-Long...because the head without it is not Leo enough there.
If i remember correctly the Vidar had that angled holding hand along with a normal holding hand.
I'm gonna have to sell my kidney with all the new gundam kits being released bandai
The MG was the 3rd kit I ever got and I enjoyed it greatly, still have it on a stand on my shelf and it's pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying the Real Grade and now I really want the real grade anyway. Seems like they just fixed the minor issues with the master grade version and turned it into an RG. Love it.
Having Zechs with the pilot
At first, I was sold on the aesthetics (more so after seeing it on display in a convention), articulation, and stability; but those rather fragile verniers kinda put me off a bit, considering I only have one RG so far (thus IDK if I can handle it properly)…..
Nevertheless, I have to get the RG Wing Gundam EW to complement this (along with the HGAC Leo).
Oh, and calling it already: P-Bandai Tallgeese II and III. And I guess RG Leo (then again, we don’t have an RG GM yet)?
Wait, i thought the RG Gundam Mk2 was quite solid from what i saw in other reviews?
Oh damn, those pictures are out of sync. The Mk.2 is supposed to show up when I say that the RG line is looking for stability.
Thanks for pointing that out, will add it to the pinned comment.
How will would tallgeese do in th uc time line
You know. We need an RG heavy arms to go with this. Like the OG heavy arms with the single Gatling. Not the EW in red.
Well in ggeneration game Dover gun is both shell firing AND beam weapon which is really weird
i think they got RG's down after the unicorn
wait, this is 1/144 but it still comes with a pilot figure?
RG's are like mini MG's that come with a pilot figure.
RG Leo When?
yes, but can you explain why they felt the need to make it's crotch pop with a hidden mechanism? operating under the assumption that bandai are just memelords, but an in universe explanation would be good to.
But can he hold the Dober gun under-arm/side-arm like he does in literally every shot in the anime?
Hoping for stable and good looking IBO RGs with 1/100 style frames
Is it possible to put rg wing zero’s wings on this kit without modification?
i would love to have a MG size of those booster/vernier and have it on a Strike or Zaku Warrior, just imagining, lol
My first kit ever was the HG Tallgeese from back in the 90's. It was pretty bad. Only thing i dont like about this kit is the lower leg shape which isnt really accurate.
I was afraid that I wouldn't like it either, but by the time I finished building it, it had grown on me.
I mean at the end of the day its not something that would make or break a buy for me. If it is a great kit, the shape of the legs wont make the kit bad, just witshed it kept the shape in the series.
Wow we had the same first kit! It's the reason why I want to get this kit. To pay tribute to my first ever kit.
You know I understand some people don't like the thick lower legs on this thing - and that's fine of course, but how can you say it's not "accurate"? That is how the Tallgeese legs look in the original art. That's as "accurate" as it gets.

I think that third vernier was also on the MG, probably an addition by Katoki. He designed the original, but still spiced up all of the main suits for Endless Waltz/Ver KA designs for the mastergrades.
Arrowdodger I don't think so, the mg pods bottom is a solid piece over a frame, the pettles open as does the top flair when the top come is moved.
on the MG version, at least my tallgeese 3, the end part of the backpack doesnt open, and the side skirt doesnt have thrusters.
Then it probably doesn't on any Tallgeese MG, because they share most of the same parts if I recall.

BadBatchTGD The 00 kits were the most solid kits before the Unicorn and Tallgeese came around. I have the 00 Gundam and love it. You can attach it's shields the the side skirts and it comes with the parts to make it the Movie 00 with the GN Condensers.
More or less if you liked the HG "00 Riser + GN Sword III" then the RG does everything better.
RG strike is flismy and I feel like the HGCE is a better deal. The Freedom is getting there in terms of stability and the gimmick with the wings is totally worth it if you're into the Freedom.
Don't have the 00 or SF (and don't plan on getting them)
Kakarot197 i see, thanks im planning on getting one of em and save up for sazabi or jegan
Tbh it looks more like a simple blowback system than some "recoil dampener" thing
brace yourselves.
the p-bandai's are coming
Booster crotch. Can't unsee it.
it's much better than THE-O having it's rifle holstered on it's crotch, I've seen pictures on Pinterest and Facebook, custom build and the rifle holstered on the crotch is more disturbing to see
I've heard that gundam wing is pretty bad (haven't seen it myself), but god damn this mobile suit and this kit in particular look beautiful!
Jacob Johnston The series is alright to me. At least better than 00. S1 left a bad impression on me. But I really like the designs of Wing's TV MS.
Wing isn't a bad series, but it has a number of issues, like not adequately explaining things. The gundam pilots, for instance, some of them go episodes without it bothering to say who they are, character motivations aren't always well established, and it can be confusing on if Heero and the others are superhuman or not. (Heero literally bends metal bars with his bare hands, and Trowa leaps like 20 feet into the air, Quatre is a psychic). It's a weird show, but I think it succeeds in spite of all that.
I miss thicc thighs tiny legs talgeese. This looks so good but that MG is 👌
The Tallgees........the prototype of all gundam in wing........(begins to fan girl.)
Also for the abridged fans "and THAT'S why I used a heavy ass ground unit in space!"
Aiden Ly XD THIS SIR/MADAM! MADE MY DAY! THANK YOU! Funny thing is in my fan made Gundam universe I made two Tallgees type suits: one for mobile suits in general , and one for the gundam. The gundam one being AX-0027Ž-97: codename: Starlight waltz.
I don't know why kits of the Wing TV MS are always the in-accurate redesigns. (I'm looking at you Master Grades!)
Because they're based off Katoki's Endless Waltz versions.
Honestly i prefer to get Hg tallgeese Revive
I would want one, too. Maybe sometime, given the Wing, Wing Zero, Leo, and maybe Altron due to the new kit.
Leo get a HGAC release. Since Leo is originally from Tallgeese, thr possibility of a HGAC release is pretty high.
I only wished for a HGCE Destiny instead
Why though? You already got something better.
me too.. but maybe give it better joint style than leo?
Joeie Rivera TV Colors? TV version?
Nice mohawk tallgeese
Ah so speed wise what mach speed can a tallgeese can go
Somtimes called the tallcanon
Why can’t they have a seated pilot figure in the cockpit?! I get MGs for it but RG scale is so much more interesting
The size and engineering doesn't allow for it.
That was fast!
Will they make a tallgeese 2?
The real question is "Will they make the Tallgeese 2 P-bandai?"
Kakarot197 sadly is that even a question? I fully expect the 2 as p-bandai, but can only hope the 3 makes it to retail unlike the mg
it's mostly going to be pbandai sadly :( Im really itching for an RG tallgeese 3
he panel lines are too dark. maybe use a gray marker
But this is the TV version.
Well not really. It's more like a redesign of the TV version, much as the MG was. It's derived from an old illustration that included the so-called "Early Type" Gundams: Katoki's Endless Waltz designs adapted to look more like the TV versions. This version of the Tallgeese has a different color scheme (mostly white, with yellow trim, as opposed to the TV version's black-and-white color scheme) and a few significant design changes like the head and dober gun.
Most rgs have 1 retail variant... Let's hope for the tallgeese 3 at retail.... Who am I kidding, the 2 will be retail and the 3 p bandai..... Bandai logic
Nah, Tallgeese 2 will be P-Bandai as will the Tallgeese 3. The Tallgeese 3 will just take them forever to get around to
Awww shit I'm broke but I'm still have a secret saving under my bed lel😂
Would you look at that booster.............. Bandai give me RG GP02
Ugh those cankles would have instabought otherwise
Damn,i want it so bad now🗡
You could say it have white reflection. I know it a bad joke/pun.
Why is it always the Endless Waltz version? Can't we have a TV version with proportion fixes instead of something redesigned and then slapped the Endless Waltz name to it. I mean Endless Waltz was just an OVA/Movie so why they keep making kits that aren't from "Endless Waltz". By the way, I want a Leo that isn't slapped with the Endless Waltz name. Also not to hate on Katoki since he did have great ideas and his 0083 and OVA/Movie "Endless Waltz" which were his original work was amazing, but I'm pretty sure that the whole Ver. Ka kits started this trend.
Endless Waltz isnt just an OVA and movie dude, Endless Waltz also used the canon Manga designs.
Oh yeah the Glory of Losers. I don't consider it cannon since its a manga retelling the TV based on Endless Waltz and honestly besides it connecting to Endless Waltz, it connects to Frozen Teardrop, which I don't give a dang about (it sounds like fanfic). So honestly, I don't care about that manga since I already have an animated TV series and the Endless Waltz OVA/Movie. It's like saying Gundam: The Origin (manga) is completely cannon or saying that all the Star Wars side stories that were retconned cannon. It's up to the reader/viewer to think its cannon. The manga wasn't really necessary in my opinion. Also Battlefield of the Pacifists wasn't that interesting either so I didn't need it to watch Endless Waltz. I just didn't consider the Endless Waltz mangas cannon and definitely not Frozen Teardrop. I bet more people watched the series and/or Endless Waltz than read these manga. Also I was trying to make a point that I rather see an updated TV version of the mobile suits since we keep getting the "Endless Waltz". If they release a Leo, I wouldn't be surprise to see the Endless Waltz logo slapped on there when there really is no point.
I wonder how an Imperial Warhound Reaver or Emperor class titans hold up against theese "Mechs"
Dániel Deák Titans have much heavier weaponry, barring a few suits that have crazy weapons that can stomp a fleet. The biggest advantage mobile suits have is much higher mobility than your typical titan, or even an imperial knight. That said most mobile suits would crumble like paper in the face of typical titan weaponry, except for the few that have explicitly anti plasma defenses(i-fields). In a straight fight it all relies on the mobile suit taking pot shots while avoiding the titan's weaponry, except for any suits that have actual beam cannons or hyper mega launchers, heck the wing variants have blown colonies. Epyon could possibly beat a titan since it sliced an entire space station, even more for the 00.
Hyper Mega Launcher
Thats a weapon name a 12 year old with the brain of an Ork would create.
Dániel Deák You're not wrong, but it still packs a wallop
The Moldy Cheese I think he is trolling.
After I finish the Nu-Gundan ver ka
