@augus @gunpla I was disappointed by how small it was compared to the original Turn A Gundam Wodom. That and the Momokapool felt like a missed chance to get some modern Turn A HGs.

@ubi @gunpla Knowing nothing about GBD:R or Turn A (besides mustache Gundam), I was actually surprised at how large is was. That said, it does seem to be a bit smaller than the BD:R Wodom Pod should be, looking at reference pictures.

@augus @gunpla Turn A had a really unique look to the mecha because they brought in American SF designer Syd Mead to do the designs. To this day the Turn A Gundam is the only gundam to have been designed by an American.

It has its fans, but overall the model kit line didn't do very well in the 90s. Though we did get the MG Turn X that one time.

@ubi @gunpla Some of those are funky in a fun way.

I feel like Walking Dumpling / Armadillo would be a neat kit. That MG Turn X looks pretty cool, too.
