Metal Armor Dragonar was meant to be marketed as "the 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam anime for the next generation" but without using the Gundam name branding but failed to kick-off due to the popularity of Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam airing roughly at the same time, but it is still popular enough to have a big fan base, it is basically like a AU Gundam but not using the Gundam name.

You mean 1989? 1979 was the year MS Gundam was originally released.

And that is pretty clear from the premise and a lot of the aspects of the show which are directly lifted from 0079. It even has its own Char and Sayla. Oddly enough, I feel like Dragonar is the first try with what Sunrise would later do with Seed. Probably would have turned out better for it had it been a new Gundam timeline show. But I suppose when Dragonar was made (87, I think) Gundam was still UC-only and Sunrise hadn't even thought of expanding into different timelines yet.

As someone who owns the Macross Plus YF-19 and considers it the best thing I've ever built, Gundam or not, I can't wait to build this and see how well Bandai handled another, lesser-known anime in their High Grade line.

Knew of Dragonar from an old PS1 game, Real Robots Final Attack. Didn't have a Saturn to play Virtual-On, so this was the next best thing, lol. Anyway, the anime was ok, but felt a bit lacking. But the hours I put in playing this character more than makes up for it and didn't hesitate to get it in my backlog, lol.

Hey @ZakuAurelius Is it possible to ommit the Mercedes logo on the chest? By that I’m asking if the vent mesh detail part has cutouts to fit the aforementioned centerpiece.

@ZakuAurelius Жыл бұрын

I thought about the same thing! You can omit the part, yes. However, where the bottom point of the yellow part crosses the white chest part will leave a small gap there

@BLAZE084 Жыл бұрын

@@ZakuAurelius I was expecting this much and already thought of ways to fill that gap. The most important for me was that grey piece inside the vent. Thanks for the info!

Despite being a pretty shameless ripoff of 0079 (yet still made by Sunrise) and having some serious flaws, I really liked Dragonar. It was a light hearted take on Gundam without being annoying like ZZ. And it features a non-toxic romance, something which I haven't found to be common in Gundam. I have been looking at this kit, but it seems to be pretty hard to find. And the sites that do carry it sell it for a hefty premium. I hope I can find one for a reasonable price someday.
