New kits are coming out faster than you can say ‘Ah!’ (Azumanga DaiOh reference)

Hot from The Gundam Base (korean site):

MG 1/100 Unicorn Gundam official pictures:

I’ve already pre-ordered mine. =D

I like the forearm beam saber mechanism, especially when it blends in so well together with the armor shards on the forearm.

I like this angle of Unicorn. Very clean yet menacing.

I like the beam rifle design; mounting so many e-packs at one go. How many shots of beam can it do before it recharges itself? o_O

The shield is also awesome; both modes look fabulous. I wonder what does the fanned out shield mode do, since the surface area it protects is only slightly more than the normal one; maybe it’s a beam shield as well?

A modified hyper bazooka. Looks good. The design makes it more F91-era-ish. Maybe it’s a convergent design?

The awesome weapons. (4 beam sabers in total; 2 at backpack, 2 at forearms)

Also, from Gunota Headlines :
“MG Gundam Ver. 2.0 – Under development, multi-color mold, core system, G-Armor linkage
MG MS-06R-1A High Mobility Zaku II Ver 2.0 – Black Trinary colors, January, 4,725 yen

Also currently under development is the next MG after the Gundam Ver. 2.0, which is said to incorporate some kind of new technology.”

Looks like Bandai is coming out YET another RX-78-2 MG, and I wonder what other kinds of posability gimmick it can do, since the ver. OYW is already terrific. I think my MG Gundam ver. OYW has to change into a Char’s custom, posed side by side with my MG Char’s Zaku II ver. 2.0.

Nice that they’re coming out new variations to the MG Zaku II ver. 2.0 line. Given Bandai’s marketing strategy, releasing the Black Tri Stars ver. is a sure fire way for collectors, kit builders and purists to buy not one, but three kits at one go, to pose them as Black Tri Stars. I’m sure there’s enough weapons to go by to convert each kit to either 01, 02 or 03 of the Black Tri Stars.

Newly released in Japan not long ago is 1/144 HG Kyrios from the Gundam 00 series. Looks very moddable, since I’m on a modding streak now.

Just look at the shield! Does it remind you of Blitz/ Infinite Justice from Gundam Seed?
