I'm familiar with the series, and it seemed pretty cool. Astray was never one of my favorite models from Gundam Seed, but I appreciated it for its lack of superhero-esque extras(like Freedom Gundam).
I must admit I'm surprised a perfect grade of Astray is coming out though. It doesn't seem like it's popular enough to be made at that scale. Then again, it does have like 10-15 different variations. Cool either way! |

Maybe I'll have to check out the OVA. I still have yet to build a PG model myself. I really like MG and that's where I've stayed. Although certain mobile suits might get me to dish out the cash...

I also preferred the Astray manga over the main series. Lowe is an awesome character and his Astray with its ever improving array of weaponry and signature katana stands as one of my personal favourite Mobile Suits. The fact Lowe wins his fights based on wits, ingenuity and the occasional "hey look what I threw together in my spare time" gizmo makes him so much more fun to follow than Kira or Shinn. Plus his attitude is a breath of fresh air.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't read "Astray" without mentally editing it to say "Ashtray".

Man, I wish i had the skills to build a Perfect Grade.
Let alone a master grade. So as much as I love Astray i'm still gonna have to pass. |
