Answered Prayer


          Some time last week, I was asked by my father to water the newly-planted duhat (indian blackberry) located a few steps from our backyard.  Just when I was about to pour the water using an aluminum pitcher, I heard a honking sound nearby.  


 
        Armed with an outdated 2.1 eclair android phone, I took a picture of the noisy waterfowls.  The honking didn't stop....and I assumed the geese was startled to see a caveman holding a pitcher and an outdated 2.1 eclair android phone.  It's a disturbing sight for the geese I thought.  As I turn and walk away, the honking continued.  I simply put the aluminum pitcher on top of a shaky washing machine and went back to my cave.  I turned on my jurassic laptop which took the usual 3-minute boot-up time.....waited.....plugged in the router....double-clicked Firefox and sat.
 
           Who would've thought that the honking geese could have something to do with what I am about to see online.  Perhaps it's a sign.  After years of waiting, my prayer has finally been answered....the Master grade Tallgeese is now officially announced by Bandai, which will be available January next year.







               The more slender shape of the upper torso and the smaller shoulder armor will surely help shoulder movement, but I'm not quite sure about the additional armors for the Tallgeese III....still hoping that it won't affect posability. The fatter thighs are just right for me.  I think it's one of the Tallgeese's trademark aside from the mohawk head and the two thruster pods on its back.  The smaller feet will also look better for aerial poses.  The dobergun looks a lot better, and the shoulder attachment doesn't seem to differ much from the high grade.

              One complaint though, I find the the shape of the upper thruster pods too pointy....unlike its HG counterpart.  Maybe there's a good reason behind its pointy design....maybe Bandai want it to make look more aerodynamic....I guess.



               I always tell myself not to be redundant when it comes to purchasing stuff...always be happy with what you currently have....that's why I'll be keeping my 1/100 HG kit and wait more months for the MG Tallgeese III to come out. It will be my master grade after two years of MG abstinence.  Now is the right time to start filling my piggy bank again...because my most favorite non-gundam mecha deserves to be in my collection.
