I looked it up: a 'völva' is a female practitioner of magic divination and prophecy in Old Norse society. A 'vulva' on the other hand..

@lylestratos6880 Жыл бұрын

So basically... like a Witch, since the Gundvolva isn't piloted but controlled. Just trying to make sense of it and why Bandai chose the name Gundam:Witch Gundvolva:Your explantion

I'm surprised you didn't have any problems with the ball joints at the feet because a fair number of reviews I've read have had their ball joints snap right off because they are too tight.

when i first saw the kit announced i prayed it was a main character’s gundam but its cool its basically a gun-bit in mobile suit form. i bought one but i’m going to try making my first custom with this mobile suit. i feel it has great customization potential

Word of caution: the peg for the ankle armor can break off pretty easily, as mine snapped off during the building process. At least it doesn't look _too_ bad without the ankle armor, though (provided you're willing to do the same to the other side to make it even). Also, you CAN just bend and split the conjoined magazines in two, if you're careful about it and sand them down afterward.

@saltyvanilla3304 Жыл бұрын

Love this guy, he looks so much like the GunEZ, the backpack, the hardpoints of the arms/legs and ofc the face, can't wait to grab at least 3 to customize

@nealforreals2098 5 ай бұрын

I think the thrusters on the backpack can be replaced with the Zowort Heavy's backpack weapons to give it a more militaristic vibe. So yea, a custim EZ potential there.

It more strictly reminds of the Rasveht from Gundam X, and to be fair that's absolutely what they're running off of in this unit- as it's essentially a G-Bit reimagined as G-Wtich tech. Similar very simple design and minimal armament like the Rasveht

@BLAZE084 Жыл бұрын

@@gtf234 I never watched Gundam X so I’m not familiar with the lore. But it’s true this isn’t the first time Gundam has had unmanned units like Rasveht you mentioned and the mobile dolls from wing. Thanks for the info. The Gundvölva is such a cool design. I wish they would create a side story where the main character finds and rebuilds one, retrofitting it with a cockpit.

not a perfect solution but im sure you could nab the open hands from Ur or Thorn and swap for the grey backs. the hands are the same so itll work but the colors may not be a 100% match

I find a lot of people complaining about the ankle joint been too tight...It could be a defect but c'mon. If the joint is too thight, just don't push the joint in! Remove the joint and sand it a bit then install it! If you know the joint is tight and you still try to move it of course it will break, that's common sense! Same thing with MG Sinanju waist, people who break that joint is stupid af.

@fantastiCkiLler92 Жыл бұрын

What's the problem with more HG kits? It's cost less to produce and much more affordable. Imagine for those new comers who want to get their 1st kit and found out all those MG's cost like 6000-10000yen vs HG kits around 1000 yen. Which one would you rather buy if you're new to the hobby? In short, HG sells more than MG
