Looks like someone managed to grab a quick shot of everything around the prototype. If this shot is accurate, then it confirms that RG #10 is indeed the Zeta Gundam! Thanks to the intrepid photographer & AE Media for posting the pic!
[Update 8/8/12]
According to a japanese blogger ろあの～く雑記帳♪♪, the 10th gunpla in the Real Grade Scale series is confirmed to be the RG 1/144 Zeta Gundam, and the prototype is currently on display at Gundam Front Tokyo @ Diver City (Odaiba, Japan). However, photo shooting is not allowed, and that is probably why we haven't seen any image of it online. According to folks who have seen the prototype on display, the proportion of the kit if transformed into Wave Rider mode looks good. But is currently uncertain whether the kit support full transformation or not.
The RG 1/144 Zeta Gundam is due for release this November 2012. We will continue to provide more info as we find them.
Previous Updates:
The next Real Grade 1/144 scale Gundam model kit will be on display at the following locations:
Gundam Tokyo Front (Aug 9th 2012)
JR Osaka Station - East Exit (Aug 15th - 21st 2012)
Chara Hobby (Aug 25th - 26th)
*A reliable source indirectly suggested that the next RG is indeed the RG 1/144 Zeta Gundam. But is probably best to wait for Bandai's confirmation*

it transforms....this is definitely a new evolution of the RG frame
ReplyDeleteI dont think we can transform it between gundam & waverider many times, there are risks that the inner frame will break *_*
ReplyDeleteDo you have one in yours hands? Because the way you're saying you're pretty confident in it. Don't judge it till it's out. It may be brittle, but none of us know this right now
DeleteI actually agree with him. Iv already had 2 RG inner frames break just from trying to do normal poses. I can only hope this one is built a lot stringer.
DeleteIt'll break only if you have troll hands >.>
DeleteAll my RG are fine and without a scratch...
Actually we know how fragile and how (poor) quality plastic material Bandai uses in MG line. (Hello Hi-NU, Destiny, and...)
DeleteAnd same issues with the polycapness kits, the new joints, the very looooose new joints, and all the good stuff.
So,... if you know the facts, you know the risks.
i agree with the looseness but there is always something you can do about it.
DeleteIf bandai use poor quality plastic , I prefer u go for bootleg than go for bandai , since its poor plastic why pay extra ??
DeleteIt depend on how u handle it , the most safe way is to have all armour up and start slowly moving it , using sudden force to move it will result in breaking of inner frame . Hope this help :)
This was the picture I was waiting for. I was wondering when a picture of the RG Zeta in Wave Rider mode was going to be uploaded. I'm guessing its gonna be pretty fragile for a TMS(Transforming Mobile Suit).
ReplyDeleteKinda looks flimsy. Still awesome though.
ReplyDeleteFully transformable or parts-former?
ReplyDeleteIt's fully transformable. In the caption on the left, it says that the transformation will be more durable/stable than the master grade or perfect grade were. It's also going to be shown off at a hobby show where they will demonstrate how it transforms.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news but you know what's more awesome than Waverider mode? MS mode.
ReplyDeleteG-Strider Mode more awesome
Deleteone thing that bugs me is while we finally have a pic of the waverider mode, we still have not had a picture of the MS with the hyper mega launcher.. i do hope it's included
ReplyDeleteA RG that is transformable, has a inner frame, color separation and MG quality articulation...this is either going to be one of the most awesome kits that bandai has ever made or possibly the biggest clusterfuck in gunpla,
ReplyDeleteWhy was this such a big deal to people? Are you honestly going to transform this and display it in Waverider mode?
ReplyDeleteWell, duh? Aren't you?
DeleteWouldn't it be best to buy two? just keep one in MS mode and the other in Wave Rider?
ReplyDeleteAnd Bandai's crafty plan for double profit is revealed.
Deleteas usual... :) and, usually, we fall for it.. :(
DeleteWhere is the Hyper Mega Launcher? Hope they'll include one in this. Not giving Zeta the HML would be like not giving 00 Raiser it's GN Sword III -_-
ReplyDeleteWow. First time ive seen pictures of this thing in a pose other than just standing there.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing this thing is like the HGUC and makes it so that you remove the arms and the head for the waverider mode. If you look at the pictures, there's no way that the shoulders or the arms are on, they would have been noticeable so... Looks like a partformer. :\
ReplyDeleteyou will be surprised :)
Deletewell it's about time they released an image of the Zeta being able to stand on it's 2 feet... if it couldn't stand in it's own 2 feet, you can't expect it to transform... X__X
ReplyDeleteJust after I had sworn off of fully transformable kits thanks to the mg Delta Plus(That thing is a NIGHTMARE), Bandai goes and tempts me with this...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that a picture of the RG Zeta with its Beam Sabers was uploaded. Now if only a picture of the Hyper Mega Launcher could be uploaded.
ReplyDeleteAll it need now is a mini brain fried Kamille in the cockpit :)
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell is the freaking Hyper Mega Launcher? Now I'm thinking twice before getting this or wait again for an "Enhanced/Special" edition.
ReplyDeleteYou think Bandai's gonna turn down the chance to milk the everloving hell out of this suit? haha
DeleteBandai's like that girl who teases you all the way to the finish line but won't let you ***
The rifle looks like it might have to be painted. How many parts does a RG weapon normally have?
ReplyDeletenot so many that it's fragile but more than you think.
DeleteThanks, this was the first RG I seriuosly considered getting.
DeleteWhere's the source saying that the RG is a partsformer?
ReplyDeleteIs a typo. It is fully transformable without parts swapping.
ReplyDeleteok gg, thanks for informing this.
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait for this transformable rg ^^
So uh this doesn't come with the big gun?
ReplyDeletei see some missing yellow details on the forearms and the legs, kinda like on the MG Zeta ver.2.0. that's a bit disappointing since this is a real grade. they're very small details but still, i expected every part to be molded in the right color, i mean, it's a real grade. and the big gun, seems like it's not included.
ReplyDeleteWhere does "AG01006" come from? AG = Argama or AEUG? 006 is part of the model number, but I don't know about the 01 preceding it, unless they're hinting at some of the other Zeta Gundams from Gundam Evolve. I'm against milking certain designs ad infinitum, but those are actually pretty cool (except for the Z3, which is ugly and for some reason did get a limited edition MG). I think it would be neat if those were released as variations. Even the Titans ZG from Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam would be something - everything looks better in black.
ReplyDeleteI'm only bringing this up I'm fine and dandy with my HGUC ZG and don't feel compelled to buy another model of the same MS in the same scale. You can only expect people to buy the same thing so many times. At least give us something slightly different.
* Missle launcher can be outfitted on the back of the shield as seen in the theatrical movie release.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. where is the "missile launcher" then? Is it included in another box?
Hope that we'll have some more info about this 'cause I don't want to buy 2 RGs of same kind plus I'm buying the 1/48 Zeta head. MUST HAVE MORE MONEY.
look closely at the shield's underside in the third shot. It has the missle launchers on the underside
DeleteI hope they'll release a zeta plus c-1 version in RG.
ReplyDeleteOMG yes even if it's HGUC, I'll still be happy.
DeleteThe more I look at this kit, the more I want it. The Zeta Gundam is one of my all time favorite Gundam designs. I really hope the plastic on the kit isn't too brittle. Most of the kits I have are usually held together with glue...I guess I shouldn't pose them so much :P
ReplyDeleteMan I hope Bandai keeps making real grades and eventually make a real grade Destiny Gundam well a guy can hope.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting where Bandai goes from here for RG #11 =D
ReplyDeleteHmm now that its possible to do transformation in RG how about Gundam Airmaster, Kyrios, Arios and Harute?
ReplyDeletei highly doubt any of those will be made. seeing as how bandai just focuses on main mobile suits of any series at this time. RG Nu and Sazabi seems more likely to be made, or any other lead like Exia, X, God, or Wing.
DeleteWe got the mass produced Zaku 2... but I guess that was an easy cheap recolor for Bandai haha.
DeleteI wonder if the next RG will be UC or AU? I can see RG Nu and Sazabi as the logical choice but would love to see the X Divider or Exia.
Excited for the 11th RG! I hope its Hyaku Shiki.
ReplyDeleteRG Turn A or RG God Gundam would be so much better.
DeleteRG Turn A would be awesome! Especially if it come with moonlight butterfly effect parts :)
DeleteGold plated RG Hyaku Shiki would be ridiculously expensive though.
Cautiously optimistic! Hope its sturdy and doesn't fall to pieces with the transformation. I'm looking forward to the fan reviews.
ReplyDeleteYou know, with the recent advances in engineering (I'm looking at you MG Age-2! Just so you know, it's awesome.) I feel as if this is going to be awesome, epic, radical, etc.
ReplyDeleteSolving the worlds problems is overrated. All future engineering innovations should go into gunpla!
DeleteEven though the Hyper Mega Launcher isn't included, I'm happy that bandai included a part for the beam rifle's bayonet. Now if only they had a horse packaged with that bayonet piece :P
ReplyDeletemy bad its just another beam saber part. can it be attached to the beam rifle though?
DeleteYou know, I'm wondering if Bandai will make a limited edition alternate version of the RG Zeta like they did with some of the other RGs.
ReplyDeleteIf so, I'm really crossing my fingers for the White Zeta (even though I went on a aggravating journey to get the MG; I just can't get enough of Amuro?... <_<).
I don't see the hyper-mega launcher in any of the photos D:
ReplyDeleteThat's because Bandai is probably rubbing their hands in glee about releasing it as an online exclusive at an obscene price point. Zeta's a popular suit so they're going to milk it for all its worth!
