No new Reboot volume on dengeki, picrel is still the most recent update. https://hobby.dengeki.com/aoz/illust/reboot82/Fujioka drew the OP pic MS Girl art for the Kehaar to celebrate the MRS figure so it's at least a piece of art from the man himself to start off the thread. There's been a handful of other things and plenty of fanart in the meantime, hopefully it'll be enough to keep the thread alive for a little while. For example, Gundam Inle's english translation is almost up to the hiatus point now. Also reminder Flag of Titans novel and manga have been translated for a while now. Anons are free to get as autistic as they like about AoZ and discuss anything even tangentially related to it or ask any questions, no matter how basic. Haven't changed anything in the OP text for now, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to share them.Let's see how it goes from here.

Arsenal Base had a card for the whole Black Otter squad a while back. AoZ's characters don't get a quarter of the attention the mecha get so it's nice when they're given even a little bit.

AOZS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED/ANNOUNCED SINCE LAST THREAD YEARS AGO >Bandai: HG Hazel Icarus>Bootleggers HG Advanced Kehaar II by AK Model MG Hazel Owsla HG Hazel Custom HG Hazel Custom by AK with updated parts (pic related) Also everything else that has been attached to the HG Hazel including the Chobham armor from the no grade Hrududu kit HG Hizack Custom also by AK 1/144 ReHaze kit 1/120 (maybe 1/144?) Gelgoog IIII think this is all.Essentially, we're living in the golden age of AoZ.

The best part of the upcoming Advanced Kehaar II is that it comes with both the ReBoot hover legs and the Flag of Titans ground type feet.The slippers has not been forgotten by time.

Also on topic of Hathaway, here's Fujioka's review of the second movie rough translation: >The atmosphere of the film, which made the protagonists’ presence and determination feel so tangible. >I am a wheelchair user. My only outing is my monthly hospital appointment. Each time, I soothe myself with a few limited pleasures. This month, I’d decided to go and see "The Sorcery of Nymph Circe". As I felt with the previous instalment, I was taken on a truly epic journey. Needless to say, I was thoroughly satisfied with the story and the Mobile Suit battles, but it was the atmosphere of the film that made the protagonists’ presence and determination feel so tangible. I was deeply moved to experience, through a pleasant sense of immersion, the subtleties of travel - something I’d given up on ever being able to do again after my accident - by the time I left the cinema. >My personal treat after the screening was examining the mecha designs by Hajime Katoki, an artist I greatly admire. The designs reflect a stylistic beauty—the same base frame plus reinforced armour—which mirrors the TR Project, allowing me to rediscover both my delight in them and how the Universal Century timeline is maintained. >I’d usually avoided going to the cinema out of consideration for the staff and other patrons, but this time was an exception. As I needed time to check the location of the toilets, the layout of the venue and find my seat, I arrived an hour early. >I vowed to live as long as possible - without causing any inconvenience to others - so that I might continue to enjoy excellent Gundam works in the future.And apparently 0083 is his favorite work. Not really surprising.

Oh shit we're back! How's we've been fellas?Been working on anything? I built some stuff.Pic related is the AK Hizack Custom in Titans color next to Bandai's vanilla one. I gave it a third party gun because I thought it looked like something Fujioka would draw.If anyone is wondering the AK bootleg is pretty good.

Here is the Re-Haze kit next to a ReZeon Kehaar II and the ReZeon HG GM Quel for size comparison.The kit itself it pretty good. Doesn't transform but I think that's fine. It generally feels more solid to handle than the HG Hyzenthlay II. It has an articulated crotch subarm and those spikes on the shoulders can be used as some sort of boomerang. Also come with two beam sabers with green blades.The biggest issue is that it can't handle the massive cannon very well. It has the same construction as the HG TR-6 wrist which already struggles with the CSB. Give it a massive barrel on top and it becomes flimsy as hell. I had to reinforce the entire arm and wrist section to hold this pose. And the rifle fell off from the hand once already.You can judge the size by the Quel. I can't display it next to the Hyzenthlay for comparison because mine is disassembled at the moment. The lighting isn't ideal but I'm hesitant to move it because it's shaky as shit on that action base. And I still don't understand the physics of why it holds itself up since the base is shoved into the TR-6 pod on the back.So overall it's a good kit with some issues inherent to the design.Next to that is the Kehaar II. The Kehaar parts are by AK so they're pretty good. The base TR-6 is another bootleg. By a company called XYS I think? It's not very good. Holds together well enough but the details are quite mushy compared to the original.I actually bought two to display as escorts for the Re-Haze but then they announced the Advanced parts so I'm putting a hold on that.

And here is the HG Hazel Icarus. Also pretty good.Building it I noticed Fujioka completely redesigned the beam cannon form of the Hazel rifle between Flag of Titans and ReBoot.The rifle released by AK is the FoT variant. The Hazel Icarus comes with the ReBoot one.

The Primrose chest for Hazel is noted to still have the chest latch of the same standard as Hazel Custom so though we haven't seen it yet we know it can attach the same gear such as Hrududu's extra armor or the Icarus chest piece. And among mobility options listed as compatible with Hrududu II there's Icarus unit, I imagine the shoulder units. AFAIK the kit doesn't represent this at all but can any HG Hazel Icarus haver confirm or deny whether the geometry works out on the gunpla? Whether attaching the chest unit onto Owsla or having the sides connected to Hrududu II.

I hope this sort of question is welcome here. I’m trying to make the Hazel Owsla Rah II and wanted to see if this list of kits will get me all the parts I need: HG Hazel Owsla Mass Prod. Type HG Hrududu II HG Primrose (for the second chest missile pod) HG Hrududu (for the blade rifle)Alternatively are there any kits that have spare parts that would make buying one of these kits redundant? I have singles of pretty much every other AoZ kit (though only 1x MP Owsla)

Fujioka's art for Mobile Racer Wayger, an abandoned Gundam project meant to launch after Gundam X in Comic Japan. A teaser was included in the comic's debut issue but the magazine went on permanent hiatus immediately afterwards and Mobile Racer Wayger was lost in the limbo left behind. Fujioka was meant to be involved in a version that'd run in RPG magazine at the same time, but that one was cancelled at the same time. Notable mostly because it's one of his first official involvements with Gundam, if not the very first.

not /aoz/ per se but Double Fake Reprise manga is starting in this month's Gundam Ace issue, it's either a modern remake or some kind of closely connected story. Double Fake is one of these rather classic Gundam manga that fell by the wayside but has been consistently referenced in the last few years. Especially in F90FF and Cluster, not unlike AoZ. It's also set in a similar timeframe as Gundam Inle and it's the origin of the BR-GM and we love BR-GMs don't we folks?

since we had the Halpuley talk here might as well mention another adjacent suit by Mika Akitaka, GP04 Apparently there was an unrevealed plan for some kind of SFS for it. Could be tied to its Sturm Boosters maybe? In which case it's related to Shield Boosters as well.

A while ago GBO2 added Haze'n-thley II Rah to the game It's still based on the Flag of Titans design and doesn't have a transformation so for us knowers it might be a little underwhelming but still, it's a high quality 3d model of it with pretty nice animations so it's goddamn cool regardless.

Finished the third party Gelgoog III. Here it is next to the HG ReZeon GM Quel and Gustav Karl for size comparison. Apparently it's supposed to be as tall as a Sazabi, but I don't have a finished 1/144 Sazabi on the shelf.The build quality is not great. A few pegs were too large to their holes which led to a few stretch marks on the plastic. You can see a couple on the head if you zoom in. I built better third party kits like the ReHaze. That one went pretty smooth.Also did some color correcting on the gun, backpack, missile pods and shield. They came in gray when they were supposed to be all black.And as for the redesign itself it's... to be honest, I only bought because I'm here throwing money at most things with the Advance of Zeta moniker attached. You aren't missing much if you skip it and wait for Bandai to do their job. However long it takes.

For those of you that have built a lot of HG Hazel kits, what's your go to method for closing all the seam lines on the arms (the forearms and both parts of the shoulder armor)? The way the forearms and shoulders go together are very awkward and I haven't come up with a good method yet
