    I think the clear parts aren't made to shine under UV light, they're intended to glow in the dark.

    • @ToxicAtom
      @ToxicAtom Před 7 měsíci +44

      Things that glow in the dark are inherently UV reactive; it's the same chemical mechanism, it's just that things that glow in the dark emit light over time, while things that are merely fluorescent emits its light immediately, with no storage action.

    The HG 00 Gundam was widely considered the pinnacle of HG engineering for a few years. Even as its level of articulation became somewhat more common in HG, it was the gold standard for a while. It basically revolutionized HG articulation and introduced the same basic joint structure that modern HGs use, just replacing more and more polycaps with plastic over the years.

    I have so many HG 00s and got both the vanilla Diver and the one with the Diver Ace. Didnt get the 00 Skys (all of them) as i didn't had cash for those when they came out (and arent at stock where i am). Then this was announced and now released. I am cursed to get a 00 and the Divers. But hey, its definitely the best looking 00 Diver of the three we have.
    I Especially love the Arm Blades, and the fact that the GN Drives are now actual weapons. GN Drive Buster Swords go swoosh.

  • @wavewingman5993
    @wavewingman5993 Před 6 měsíci +2

    They made a good call revisiting the 00 Diver instead of making another variant of the 00 Sky. For one, there are just a lot of 00 Sky kits already. But from an upgrade angle, take it from someone who tried, it is nearly impossible to noticeably improve on the 00 Sky Moebius. It's already a near-perfect kit, and all I could really do to upgrade mine was change the color scheme and add the knee-mounted GN Katars from the 00 Seven Sword. Instead, they brought it back to basics, and brought a ton of potential out of the 00 base. The new shoulder parts are amazing, I love that the chest is styled after the Age line, and the arm bracers are pretty tight, too. I also applaud the decision to add a bit of orange to the color scheme, it complements the blue perfectly. As much as I am a shameless shill for Core Gundam, this might actually be my favorite out of the Metaverse kits.

      Well I am building a similar kit which has funnels with independent gn drives the key is to have enough gn drives so they are semi-disposable that’s why in the manual it says 1 buster sword so you still have the other gn drive while dual wielding gn buster sword is rad it’s both far from practical and not very useful

      The easiest way to solve the GN drive issue is...
      *ADD MORE GN DRIVES*
      Honestly, I doubt there is any rules that would inhibit a person from "modifying" their Gundam like that.
      My personal thought is exia plus OO, so a GN drive at the back, plus the two on the shoulders. Not sure what to call that.

The come in sets of two and have a smaller profile and are more articulated. With the Goodsmile stands I find myself running out of space quiet quickly because of their large profile base.

    meh I'd argue that the old HG 00 gundam is fine as it is even if you slap new pieces on top of it and giving it a revive will serve no sense to the s2 00 cb gundams as those gundams were already superb on their own right.... I'd say give the revive stuff to the s1 00 cb gundams and slap whatever new stuff on top of it for any build series (specifically gundam exia and it's build variants)
    also there's an adapter in the action base 4 & 5 that will allow certain MS to do the over-the-top hovering in the air pose like a god, meaning that you can skip using the claw adapter to avoid those mishaps

    That "resin" is almost guaranteed plastic my dude. It's not organic tree resin. If you look up bandai switching materials, it's obvious they're doing stunts like using tea leaves, egg shells and lime stone as cutting materials in order to mitigate the image of being a dirty and naughty naughty plastic producer.
    In reality if a person has ANY qualms with the fact that they are indeed driving "unnecessary" plastic production (provided you believe joy and hobbies aren't necessary), then they are already morally obligated to not buy or support things like this.
