upcoming Gundam 00 kits

January 09, 2008 By: marvin Category: weblinks, Model Kits, Gundam 5 Comments →

Ngee Khiong has posted some news on upcoming Gundam 00 kits:
the HG 1/100 Gundam Virtue / Nadleeh
HG Gundam Virtue-Nadleh
always wondered how on earth Bandai was going to do the red hair thing on the Gundam Nadleh. I was half expecting them to come out with some sort of rubberized pvc hair, but I guess one can’t expect so much of a high detail from an HG kit. and although the 1/100 Virtue/Nadleeh is a nice kit to have, I’d probably pass on this one, and just wait for the next MG. ^^
the 1/144 HG Throne Eins
HG Throne Eins
another nice-to-have kit. but since I usually steer clear off the 1/144 kits, I’ll be skipping this one as well. however I’m rather excited about seeing the Trinity Throne Gundams in action in the series. I believe the announcement was made a few days ago on this month’s issue of newtype magazine. some up-to-speed blogger like Gunota, Ninku and Ngee Khiong has already blogged about it a while back, so it seemed pointless for me to write a post on it. however I see nothing wrong about plugging it into this post. ^^
New Gundam Meisters
The three new Gundam Meisters/pilots Yohan Trinity, Mihaeru Trinity and Neena Trinity and the three gundams Thrones Eins, Thrones Zwei and Thrones Drei

Edit: News originally from Gunota, Images stolen from Ngee Khiong. ^^ Also, if anyone might be interested, Bandai is going to release an HG 1/144 Tieren Space Type. Thought that it wasn’t noteworthy enough to post, but what the heck. It’s gundam news nonetheless. What is noteworthy and intersting, though not really related to my Gundam 00 post is the MG Nu Gundam MetaLic coRting. (don’t you just love Nihon Engrish) ^^ A Gundam to keep that MG metallic coated Sazabi you brought home a while back company.

Gundam Musou on PS2

Gundam Musou
looks like Namco joins Bandai’s usual “kicking gundam fans in the balls and juicing them for more money” attitude. ^^ Gundam Musou or Dynasty Warriors: Gundam will soon be rereleased for the PS2. and to make sure avid gundam fans who already own the PS3 copy would still buy the PS2 version, they announce that additional scenarios and mobile suits will be featured on the PS2 game version. for more info check out Gunota and Famitsu.

Gundam Exia, Limited “Bright Green” Edition

more gundam news from undisputed gundam king Gunota.
bright green Exia
how do you like your Exia? how about in bright transparent green? 400 limited edition Exia gunpla will be available via TV and Radio sales promo in Japan.
personally, I’m not a fan of the transparent released gunpla. however if one should find themselves having car trouble in the middle of a road, this thing gunpla could also be used as an early warning device like the one below. lol
