This means new model kits, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI hope they make RG Wing kits
Deleteyea hope so
DeleteMG Wing Gundam Zero T.V.ver. please.
DeleteThis. At least they should make RG Wing Zero and Epyon...
DeleteI would buy a RG Wing zero and Epyon in a hear beat. They really need to start making AC RG kits I want a Heavy Arms soo bad.
Deletewonder if this will lead to any new Wing stuff, models, games, even a anime. cause I'd like some more Wing models
ReplyDeleteI dont think they could make a new anime seeing as in the movie all the mobile suits are destroyed... Though a remake or remaster should be done, they did one for seed and destiny its only fair that wing ... A show which was incremental in bringing more fans to gundam should be done too
Deletei think there is a possibility for new anime, base on glory of the defeated, i heard there are some changes in the plot, and the manga might continue up to frozen teardrop.
DeleteI doubt it. There is already soooo much Gundam in production. Unicorn 7, Build Fighters, G-Record and The Origin.
DeleteSunrise already did a remaster of the Wing Series years ago.
Deletehopefully what's left of Wing EW MGs will follow shortly... still 3 to go : Heavyarms Custom, Sandrock Custom, Nataku...
ReplyDelete@Anon 12:36 : RG Wing Zero/Heavyarms will be awesome... :D
5 kits you for got the tallgeese 3 and serpent custom. But this doesn't mean we will be getting any new kits. people wanted updated mgs from the 8th Ms team but like anon1:35 said all we got was a hguc ez8
DeleteThese are not EW, but I would like to have an MG Vayeate and Mercurious to go along with my MG Tallgeese 1. XD
DeleteWhy is it that every time it is announced that an older Gundam series is going to be given a limited Blu-ray release, people automatically assume it means a series revival? All The 08th Team release got to coincide with it was that one new animated short that was included with it, and the HGUC Ez8, and let's be honest, that Ez8 was probably going to be released anyway.
ReplyDeleteWing is already getting some extra exposure, with the Glory of the Losers manga, the EW Master Grades, the sudden small army of Robot Damashii figures, and it's been awhile since I've heard anything about it, but I think Frozen Teardrop novel series may still be running, and all of those (minus the RDs) were started to coincide with the show's 15th anniversary in 2010. Anyway, the point is, Wing is still kicking around somewhat, and while I would also like to build some new 1/144 kits, I don't think Wing needs much more attention than what it already has.
Gundam fans as a whole seem to hate anything new that changes the formula of the first show they watched or that made them fans. So they take comfort in nostalgia believing any news they hear related to that show as some sort of fantasy indication that another anime entry is on the horizon.
DeleteI've seen some of the remastered dvd episodes and they look pretty nice. Certainly better then dark, muddy colours of the original. But I don't think this will be much of an improvement tbh.
ReplyDeleteIf they could change the original aspect ratio to 16:9, that'll be awesome.
DeleteWe'll probably see...
ReplyDeleteMG Wing EW 2.0
MG Wing Zero EW 2.0
MG Wing Zero (TV)
MG Heavyarms Kai EW
MG Nataku
MG Sandrock Kai EW
MG Tallgeese III EW
If we get lucky:
RG kits
MG Vayeate & Mercurious
MG Serpent Custom
MG Taurus/Leo, etc
Your such a troll. Yet again you ruin one of the posts on this site with a wishlist.
DeleteYeah suiton629 just chill of once geez.....
DeleteSuiton, e-begger, harasser, thief, troll, loser, noob, liar and hated...
DeleteDon't forget to go here to see him getting a new one ripped, and to see how much the community loves him...
Ooohh, suiton's wishlist is not in a formal letter format today. Are you tired of being a Grammar Nazi? Charles Kim Jong Un
DeleteAnon 7:38 here. Forgot the link. Here you go http://www.gundamuk.com/mechaloungeforums/index.php?topic=2495.0
DeleteLet's all expose suiton for what he is!

Saw that funny as f#@&. Hope he gets banned on the new hobbylink.TV site. No one like him that little s@&%
DeleteSUITON YOU'RE A RETARD. You post and you don't even try to defend yourself.
DeleteApparently, it were the ANONYMOUS retards who ruined all the posts by replying to Suiton629's comments. Look who is stupid now?
DeleteHope this mean MG Nataku is around the corner
ReplyDeleteLolZ!! I love Gundam wing series!!!!!!! Plz Wing zero gundam EW 3.0
ReplyDeleteAre you gay?
DeleteReally dig that new art.
ReplyDeletewait.... January 29th 2013 ??
ReplyDeleteHope got V gundam , G gundam and Gundam X Bluray
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice that the face mask is different? It used to have more red.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I don't like Wing at all. The only good thing about Wing are the Gundams. Everything else like the story and characters sucks. That's just my opinion that I am allowed to have.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Wing either. Maybe its because I was never part of that 90s crowd and have no nostalgia for it. But yeah I agree some of Gundam designs were nice, especially the EW ones but not WZ custom (sorry angel wings are just too tacky for me).
DeleteYeah, most of the EW designs are just a mess but especially those feathers.
Deletemost pointless comment after you know who.....
DeleteAgreed. and even the Gundams can be pretty dull. they are just as one note as the characters themselves. Nothing quite like watching Wing/Zero Gundam fire buster rifles over and over and over again to win every fight.
Deleteat least heero is cool (⌐■_■)
Deleteand still lot better than AGE.
that's my opinion. (￣-￣)
... and still better than shit HD and shit destiny HD...
Deletethat's my opinion. (￣-￣) and its TRUE.
At least there is no useless feather bird in seed or destiny otherwise it would be a migrating bird tv series on bbc knowledge hahahah
DeleteBlame Katoki for the Wings. TV Anime version's got no Feather Wings... :v
Deleteis this box set going to have the English dub too? English subs and all that?
ReplyDeleteNope.
DeleteAre they high with that price? Blu-Ray can't possibly increase the detail all that much and no way I'm paying that price for it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, almost $600 for a series that's almost 20 years old is insane. This is why Bandai Visual went under in America. The prices are way too high.
DeleteHey, bought the first release of the North America DVDs when they were coming out in the early 2000's and that was super pricey at $20-$30 for five episodes. Nowhere near the price of this blu-ray and it doesn't make since because you can still get the basic dvds for around $50 for the whole damn series. The blu-ray extras better include a wad of cash stuffed inside for that price.
DeleteThat's because anime is priced higher in Japan. It's not for the US market.
DeleteThe Japanese anime industry operates in a ridiculous bizarro world where instead of trying to expand your market and attract new customers with aggressive pricing and marketing, you instead assume that the same dwindling supply of otaku will be your only customer base and produce/price accordingly. This works really well up until your existing customer base shrinks into nothingness, at which point you're fucked. This is also what leads to the death spiral of pandering harder and harder to otaku and thus driving off any mass appeal your product might have had when you cram it full of panty shots and it becomes embarrassing to watch in anything but a locked private room.
DeleteIt doesn't cost any more to make Blu-Ray discs in Japan so these prices have no excuse. I mean, it's probably even a bit cheaper since they are closer to where the stuff is produced and the shipping costs less.
DeleteI can't believe that they sell any discs in Japan if these are the common prices. Shameful. This is why few in the US anime market want to pay. It's robbery. I remember DBZ dvds for $30 that had 3 episodes on them.
Cost of production has nothing to do with it. They are specialty items design for a specific market. Thats why it's high. Not production reason. People in Japan that can afford these high prices will pay them. They have no concern about the US market because they can make plenty of money in Japan. Why would bandai have a US production company and shell out money fir English suds and dubs when they can make more money with less work by catering to the domestic market and abandoning the foreign markets.
DeleteSo your answer to an insane profit margin is "because they are Japanese"? You mean to say people in Japan are morons and willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a item that costs about $20 (after everything) to produce? Cost of production is someone any smart consumer should keep in mind when making purchases. These box sets shouldn't sell one damn copy and they would learn their lesson. But by all means, if the Japanese consumer is that dumb then they deserve to get shafted.
DeleteI heard most people in Japan rent their anime. Only hardcore fans will shell out the money to buy it.
DeleteJapanese people renting more than buying is the truth. The price is what it is because they're aimed toward retailers and rental stores who will usually buy in bulk and get discounted anyways. People don't collect videos in Japan
DeleteCause they could only fit a few discs on the shelf in their hobbit holes.
DeleteAnyone know what those promos say is going to happen on January 28th 2015?
ReplyDeleteIf i'm not mistaken it said limited production untill january 2015
DeleteThat's when production will cease.
DeleteEh. Just seems like a bone being thrown to Wing fans. I dont see this being Wing's big push to limelight, considering its last push didnt mean that much.
ReplyDeleteso no english subs for this?
ReplyDeletePeople wanted Wing on Blu-ray. There you have it.
ReplyDeleteyes please! Remastered version of Wing and endless waltz, MG and RG versions of Gundam Wing MS. A new game based on Gundam Wing and an anime Version of Frozen teardrop!!
ReplyDeleteDont be an idiot. Wing was already remastered in DVD format, this is just a re-release in blu-ray format. It even keeps the 4:3 aspect ratio. Its not an animation fixer like the SEED remaster.
Delete"Volume one will be release on November 22nd 2013 to include episode 1 - 25. While volume two will be release on January 29th 2013 to include episode 26 - 49. Each volume will be priced at 29400 yen each",so the conversion of 29400 Japanese Yen equals
ReplyDelete301.556 US Dollar apparantly... so this is going to cost 300 dollars?
What a bargain! (sarcasm)
DeletePlus shipping and taxes(at least in my country)!
DeletePLEASE BANDAI!!! REMASTER WING EW AND WING ZERO CUSTOM AS WELL AS SHENLONG CUSTOM, HEAVYARMS CUSTOM SANDROCK CUSTOM AND TALLGEESE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePLEASE SUITON!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP, WE ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteWhy not you shut the fuck up since you are so butthurt about Suiton?
DeleteI'm more interested in a prospect of bandai releasing a rg or hg of grunt suits like leo, aries, serpent, taurus, and virgo II. Grunts need more love.
ReplyDelete(^-^)/
Yeah, that's not going to happen. The only grunt RG kit released so far is the Zaku II, which is an iconic suit that has inspired 90% of all grunt designs in Gundam. As for HG kits, they're only producing the new Wing HG because of the new Builders anime series featuring a modified Wing. They're not going to release grunt kits for a nearly 20 year old series that's mostly popular outside the native market.
DeleteThe Japanese don't care about Wing. I bet they point and laugh at these requests for kits for grunts or the Mercurius and Vayaete, two glorified one note jobber suits. American Gundam fans really need to give it up. I understand the concept of nostalgia but there's nostalgia and there's reality. Japan doesn't like Wing much. Outside the Robot Damashi line which does random figures most of the time, Bandai only produces HG kits for currently running series and the always popular UC flagship high grades. And as for Master Grades, there's a good reason why the only non UC grunt suit in the entire line is the GNX. wHo would they try to appeal to by making a MG Leo or Taurus? America? A market they obviously don't want to explore anyway?
Very true, but I'm really hoping for any rg/hg/mg of grunt suit of any series (maybe not age.) I just mention those particular ones due to the fact that this is a wing topic. My number one to look for is definitely a rg gaplant/gnx iv, don't get me wrong I enjoy the big name suits as well. I'm very much in love with my rg gpo1 fb and hg 0 gundam, just wanting more cannon fodder. (^-^)/
DeleteGundam Fags only have GUNDAMS into their stupid heads, they don't know other mechas outside their little Gundam-verse
DeleteAlso, Americunts only know Gundam Wing, SEED and 00
diam lah!!
DeleteAnon 2:31, We are not americunts, and we know more. Now go and watch a real series like Victory or the 08th MS team.
DeleteAnd still no words about an animated plan for Frozen Teardrop
ReplyDeleteNot even official designs of the Snow White, Warlock, Scheherazade, Tallgeese Seraph, Prometheus (completed) and Epyon Bai
If everything today is all about idol worshipping (real or fictional), then why the need of Gundams and other mechas?
Yet, Bandai still want to erect another stupid Gundam statue in Tokyo...
This is obviously Bandai's fault and not the fact that Frozen Teardrop is being written and plotted by a single guy who takes breaks in his work because novels run at a much longer time frame than anime. No sir, it's Bandai's fault the writer hasn't gotten far enough in the plot for these elements to have official art revealed. Bandai should totally do a series for a bunch of novels that hasn't even finished yet and that consists only of eight volumes of mostly talking and exposition.
DeleteSomehow I can smell a HG wing zero in the not so far future.
ReplyDeleteanyone know where i can pre order it? do i have to pre order it to get ?
ReplyDeleteGod these male characters are fucking Fujoshi compare with the Cowboy Bebop, Macross, and Ghost in the shell SAC Character Design that is use the UC Gundam OVA.
ReplyDeleteUhhh what is new? The art hasn't changed that much since 1995.
DeleteDid anyone else notice the nataku epyon uptop frm frozen teardrop ?
ReplyDeleteNo because the is so homo to look at
DeleteWhite Epyon and Snow White Gundam
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that Bandai hasn't done even a Premium Online release for MG Epyon Bai (the White Epyon). Maybe they're waiting to release it alongside the rest of the Wing EW Master Grades since we know that the movie suits will (hopefully) get released because a lot of them are just color swaps with additional pieces for accessories for the most part.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that blue Epyon thingie..
ReplyDeleteepyon II from frozen teardrop,its piloted by wufei
DeleteEndRess waltz? i thought there localization team was better than that.
ReplyDeleteROR
ReplyDelete4 days til they announce frozen teardrop animation
ReplyDeletei just hope if they release this in the us..they use the originally dub voices
ReplyDeleteAny re-masters or re-releases of any Gundam Chapters won't come to the US. Bandai closed it doors to North America.
ReplyDelete
