Don't Stop, Carry On - Gundam thread

[ZakuConvoy]

Of all of the mobile suits to be the first SOC, they chose.......the Tryon 3? I mean, I guess it being a super robot homage already makes it fit in with an SOC collection, but......really?

"Have you already forgotten?! Gunpla...IS FREEDOM!"

(This is probably the exact reaction that most Gundam fans are having to this news.)

I, for one, welcome the Tryon 3 wholeheartedly. That's just a fun, cool suit.

Although, I will admit, they could have chosen something from G Gundam or one of the Astrays, if they wanted something more "super robot" from Gundam. That would have worked, too. And maybe be closer to what some fans expect.

But, if I had the money and space, I'd probably be down for this. I know something more "traditional" probably would have made more sense for the first figure of this line, and this is kind of a deep cut...but it's a cool cut.

I'm not really against it, just kinda baffled by the choice. I'd even be tempted to go for it if SOCs weren't so expensive. Especially since the Tryon 3's HG kit is kinda crap.
