MG 1/100 Banshee Norn - A Possible Standard Release?
Based on a reliable source... we could be seeing a possible standard release of the MG 1/100 Banshee Norn w/ green psycho frame. Of course, we should take this news with a grain of salt until officially announced by Bandai.
What is your thought about this possible release? Please leave us your comment below.
(Thanks Dustin Wilkinson for the touch up image)
That would be awesome. :-D
ReplyDeleteSo....P Bandai Yellow Psycoframe then Regular green psycoframe? WHYYYYYYYY??????
ReplyDeleteGood seriously a mainline mobile suit being a hobbyshop exclusive not cool Bandai
ReplyDeleteok, sorry to be nit-picky, but to the artist that made that image, it is a little inaccurate if you were wanting to make a reference to how the green framed banshee norn would look. the side of its head should have some green glow and the armed armor xc fins on its back should also be showing some green glow too. hehe, sorry but the geek in me was screaming to point that out
ReplyDeleteOnly someone who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder would care about something so phenomenally trivial, and I don't think the artist particularly cares either.
DeleteUh no, OP is right, the original picture was inaccurate. Anonymous 5:35pm is probably a terrible Gunpla builder if he doesn't care about details lol
DeleteFirst picture was changed lol. I guess the nitpicking worked
Deleteit is accurate, the fins not entirely psychoframe, mostly its just the same color with the horn, and side of the head its also glowing too.
DeleteAnon 7:27pm, the picture was changed before you commented lol

DeleteNice Obssessive Compulsive Disorder you have there mate!

DeleteYou should pay more attention to detail. You're probably a mediocre Gunpla builder, or maybe you're colorblind, but don't be a jackass just because other people are correct and you're stupid
Still waiting for MG - Gundam X Maoh ~
ReplyDeleteI'm with you man... :)
DeleteI know those feelings
DeleteWhy would the regular release be green if the Episode 7 previews all show the Banshee with a puke white psycoframe?
ReplyDeletebecause that color is when the psycho frame reasonates by still non awaken newtype, banshee will later after that point start glowing green when...
Delete*SPOILERS*
it and the unicorn make a psychofield to block the colony laser attack, thats when Riddhe accepts and awakens as a true newtype
I don't understand the white psycoframe, what is it supposed to symbolize? If the white psycoframe isn't the "evolved" form of the Banshee, then why did it change color from yellow?
DeleteAs long as we get one as a retail, this is the only version of the Banshee I've been wanting in MG form.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the Phenex gets a regular release-even though it's only appearance is in a 10 minute video at a Tokyo exclusive event while the Banshee Norn probably gets 3 times the screentime
ReplyDeleteIf this rumor turns out to be true, we can probably expect it to be a Ver.KA release.
I'd prefer a MG Banshee GFT, really.
ReplyDelete...why? you can make it with the original banshee VN, put it on the right arm and borrow a beam magnum from another unicorn...I mean you can want it but the possibility of making it without much effort if you already have the MG banshee is 100% accurate to what you saw on One of 72...and if you are talking about decals...those are of the banshee ver ka, you can get those at ebay!
DeleteI just checked my kit. No, you can't make the Banshee GFT with the Armed Armor VN that comes with the regular MG kit. The VN parts can fit on the left arm, but not on the right arm. The Banshee GFT mounts the VN on its right arm.
DeletePlease don't make false statements next time. Thank you.

DeleteYes you can... the parts fit just as in the left arm because the two arms are virtually identical! I have done it countless of times since the GFT banshee was announce with my OVA banshee borrowing the magnum from my FA unicorn...trust me it can be done...why would I lie if I want to help you recreate the version of the banshee you like? I dont have any reasons
DeleteThen show me a picture of a MG Banshee GFT. Oh, that's right, there are none, because the arm parts don't fit.
DeleteOK then I just took a picture of my brother's banshee (it has some parts broken and its quite loose but that doesn't change the fact) with the VN on the right arm without any modification! Unicorn and destroy modes for everyone to see

... :( The parts aren't symmetrical. If you look at this picture: http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig17/10174513a5.jpg, you'll see that some VN parts on your Banshee GFT (mostly the center pieces) aren't mirroring the VN on the standard Banshee. So yeah, the VN fits on the right hand (I'm wrong there), but some parts of the VN aren't pointing in the right direction.
DeleteIf Bandai molded the VN parts to be symmetrical, then we could make the Banshee GFT. Right now, the VN fits on the right arm, but if you look closely, it just doesn't look right. I guess if you don't look closely, you won't notice, but it's something that stands out to me.
Dude trust me, I have gone so far to take pictures to make you see that the VN fits in both arms and trust me they are symmetrical, that been said the banshee that I used as stated earlier its parts a really loose, specially the arms (and of course its just a straight build, minus the gold ornaments) and if in any case that doesn't fix any doubts of what I'm saying you can compare the 3D model used in One of 72 so you can see the VN is the same in both arms.

No. Just no. They're very different. Look closer.
DeleteWow. what a bunch of fucking asshats. THE ARMED ARMOR VN ON THE MG IS SYMMETRICAL. CHECK OUT IMAGES OF IT ON DALONG's REVIEW SITE. AND THEY CAN BE ATTACHED ON EITHER ARM.
DeleteHELL SOMEONE EVEN MADE A CUSTOM OF IT ALREADY. HERE:
http://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2013/05/mg-1100-banshee-full-armed-custom-build.html?m=0
Do any of you other non-believers actually even own a MG Banshee? because if you did and you actually HAD eyes. You'd see they're perfectly symmetrical.
Is this "reliable source" the same guy who makes yearly predictions on MGs? He pretty much guesses 50 possible MGs per year...
ReplyDeleteLOL I said the same thing!
DeleteYou can't call a guess if you keep spamming different ones in the vain hope 1/50 hits
It was "confirmed" by a reliable source who has confirmed a bunch of stuff in the past. He didn't outright say it because he got in trouble with Bandai the last time he spoiled something, but the way he responded to the conversation strongly suggested it.
DeleteHas the "reliable source" ever been wrong with his confirmations?
DeleteCan you provide us with a transcript of the conversation? What was asked, and what was his response?
If not... I call BS
The source got in trouble for saying that HGUC Crossbone is in the works a few months ago. They'd rather not risk it.
DeleteTAKE MY MONEY!
ReplyDeleteIt's in the movie poster, so I think it's a safe bet on this coming out.
ReplyDeleteIf this happens then what I would really want to see is that we get the parts for the VN and BS to replicate but in green...that would be nice
ReplyDeleteYep, definitely going to happen. And when it does it will be the only MG Unicorn I would buy
ReplyDeleteFor all of you who are wondering that "reliable source" is not that moron Suiton. I've argued with that tool over the fact that a green frame norn will be a regular release Kit on here and on YT. But he is so ignorant that he thinks the green fram norn is a novel version. For those of you who are wondering the green frame norn is the final form of the banshee much like the green fram full armor unicorn is the final unicorn form. It's obvious that the green frame norn will be a regular release Kit. Im betting it will be out later this year probably the December Mg for this year.
ReplyDeletei would like to get this for my only mg unicorn, not big on the orange psycho frame on the mg
ReplyDeleteI'll get a lot of flak for this, but IMHO they should've released the standard one as a normal release, and this one with the green psycoframe as an online exclusive.
ReplyDeleteThat said, if they do release this, I'll be more than happy.
That would not be good for anyone. There is already a green psycoframe online exclusive MG Banshee. Having one colour of each psycoframe in both normal and limited release is better.
DeleteLimited: Final battle version (green) and Norn (yellow)
Normal: Banshee OVA (yellow) and Banshee Norn Awakening version (green).
I agree 100%. I personally find the standard frame more aesthetically pleasing than the green.
DeleteDont go on P-Bandai pleaseeeee
ReplyDeletePersonally i find the green psycoframe unfitting for banshee's colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteSame.
DeleteI personally don't want them to make Unicorns because I want more variety. Suiton please insert a list so I don't have to, but seriously aren't there like 7 Unicorns now? Instead Geara Zulu anyone?
ReplyDeleteToo many MG Unicorns. I will still buy it tho
ReplyDeleteMG Norn at non PBandai!?
ReplyDelete...Green Frame?
Not like this.
Even if Bandai did release a Green Psycoframe version, wouldn't you just be able to buy the Green Psycoframe as replacement parts and put them on the Norn that's coming out as an exclusive? Assuming that they share the same Psycoframe parts. Falldog swapped the Psycoframe from the Phenex to the OVA Unicorn and it looks pretty good to me. I've already ordered the exclusive Norn and plan on painting it anyway, the only thing that would make me mad is if they release Green Psycoframe as a regular release at a cheaper price...
ReplyDeleteI hope this kit is regular price as Ka version when green psychoframe
