You can find pictures of all of the runners here. I haven't built any 1/100 Barbatos so I couldn't say if it does or not.
Upon careful analysis, it appears that the Sixth Form contains every part to make the original... except two blue elbow pads, and maybe a different chest (it looks the same, bit is a different part number and runner, so maybe not?)
Also I'm getting way into the IBO show, and want a lot more of these 1/100 kits, but they haven't released any since last year. Anyone know what the odds are we get new stuff going forward, now that the show is over?

I'd expect no new IBO kits until maybe a Master Grade sometime down the line.

Well that's a bummer. Now to figure out how to stretch these parts around to create some of the missing kits. I bet a Ryusei Go Graze is possible...

Some of the HG IBO kits were p-bandai only, so if you haven't looked, and want to break the bank, go for it.
But for 1/100, I think they all had a general release.

Yeh, luckily there's only one P-Bandai 1/100 IBO kit, Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze. It's a colour swap of the general released McGillis Graze, with a unique lance weapon. No great loss, I can paint that!
Mostly just bummed there's no 1/100 release of so many unique mechs, like the Man Rodi, Graze Ein, Ritter, Reginglaze Julia or the Astaroth Origin. Those all seem beyond the possibility of kitbashing and painting.
Oh brilliant

Looking at the Barbatos 1/100 MG.
But I really need to at least finish painting the Astaroth first. I think I can finish that this weekend.
EDIT:I stopped by the Gundam shop after work and checked out what they had in stock. They have 2 of the Barbarossa 1/100 on the shelf, and I somehow made it out the door without making a purchase.

The Barbatos is awesome, do iiiiiiit
Heads up though, if you want the original mace, get the 6th Form Barbatos. It includes almost all the parts to make the basic one, but not quite. 1/100 IBO kits real good at just enough overlap to almost make other kits redundant, but never 100% ;p
...except maybe Graze Kai? I think that might contain everything that the original did, plus lots more? In other news I am assembling my first Graze and shaved off a mold line on the arm that turns out is intentional and part of the design. Oops! Now I gotta do that to every subsequent Graze I make, if they're gonna be a matching team...
I never really thought about it before but I think I hate Haro? Like, deeply? It's annoying and weird.

I don't mind them in the early shows, but I didn't like them trying to force it as a mascot for the larger franchise. They can get kind of annoying, but making an Alexa!Haro is pretty brilliant.
yeah in the original series it served a purpose of adding some depth to Amuro's character by showing he has interests in stuff (robotics, AI? toymaking?) outside of what we see him do in the war, but every time since then it's felt shoehorned in and irritates me.

I just bought furniture to show off my stuff... well, show it off better. It's not fully assembled, but this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Now I just need to get the proper stands that won't snap...
Also, I need to get a better look at the mecha in Daemon X Machina, as apparently its lead designer is a legend in the industry. They definitely looked cool... and I hope they make gunpla of it.
So it just occurred to me that I have a fish tank and that an Acguy or similar would be neat to put in there. Anyone know if that's at all safe to do?
You'll probably have to glue some weights to him because the plastic will want to float, but it's safe. Alternatively, glue a chain to him and some weights and he would float in the middle of your tank.
ABS is a very common material in aquarium tubing and pumps, it's perfectly safe. Plastic cement evaporates after use, so it won't be there to contaminate the water. Cyanoacrylate (superglue) is actually activated by water, so it can't disperse into the medium.

Maybe go with an MG this time around.
Also I just paid for my Zaku Kai so I'll have pics of that soon.

Seems like they should open.
They open and there are hands inside
they're already around by zeta and he's got the right kind of ennui
well I assumed the feddies were just pocketing that cash
amuro was basically under 24/7 armed guard. for his protection of course...

That's what she said!
Maybe, but never to me.
