As expected. there's just too many who waited for any grade Nightingale kit (non-SD of course)
ReplyDeleteI also saw a HGUC pic of Nightingale 4-5 years ago.... I wonder why did they cancel it...
From the kits shown, I have to say that by far my most interested announcement with the MG Hi Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. I've recently gotten an interest in getting all of Amuro's suits from all the UC series. I was very close to getting the MG Hi Nu Gundam (the old one) but I thought to myself that since we got a Ver. Ka (basically a 2.0) for the MG Nu Gundam, that Bandai would most likely do a Ver. Ka for the Hi Nu Gundam. But little did I know that they would do it so soon.
ReplyDeleteI mean they usually do big MG releases for December. So because we're getting this guy, I have a gut feeling that we might get a PG for December 2014. I would guess either the Exia, Freedom, or maybe the Unicorn if we get lucky.
Next, the announcements for HG Wing Fenice Rinascita and Exia Amazing were really cool because that shows that Bandai definitely has continued confidence in the Build Fighter line; meaning that we're likely now (at least a little) to get MGs for the remaining main guys:
GAT-X105B/CM Build Strike Gundam Cosmos
GX-9999 Gundam X Maoh
PPGN-001 Gundam Amazing Exia
PPGN-001DM Gundam Exia Dark Matter
XM-X1M Crossbone Maoh
XXXG-01Wf Wing Gundam Fenice
XXXG-01Wfr Gundam Fenice Rinascita
Hm.. Maybe not so much with the Build Strike Cosmos for now. Maybe when Season 2 airs, we'll get that one in MG, but the HG first of course.
But on the P-Bandai exclusive front, I was excited to hear that we're getting the MG Full Armor Unicorn Red Psychoframe ver. and the MG 00 Gundam 7 Sword/G Inspection Colors. I was also very very close to getting the Full Armor Ver. Ka, but I never liked the green variation, and it would have looked not-so-great with the MG Banshee Norn (which is also unfortunately an exclusive release...but I got 1 for myself on pre-order and paid off in full).
Anyway. That's about it.
The only disappointments that I had were:
a. Nothing in regards to the MG line of Gundam AGE. I was hoping that they would announce or hint at the Age-3 (Normal, Orbital, Fortress), Age FX (Normal and Burst variant), and of course the Age-1 Full Gransa to finish up the series.
b. I was hoping that even though we all know the RG Z'Gok is the next RG, that Bandai would announce or hint at the RG 00 Raiser. That would've meant that we would probably get the Trans Am variation, 7 Sword/G, 7 Sword/G Inspection Colors, and the Condenser Type. Hopefully we'll get those announcements soon. Speaking of which, I am still keeping my fingers crossed for RG Exia Roll Out, RG Exia R2, and RG Exia R3.
c. Nothing was announced in regards to more Seed/Destiny new kits and RM Ver kits. Nothing in regards to EW Ver. Master Grades.
Speaking of which... Wow. The Shizuoka Hobby Show this year was very barebones; especially with MG announcements. Maybe they're just holding out information so that they don't oversaturate the market or some thing like that.
Because other people will do the job of putting you into place, I'll just answer re: your disappointments...
Deletea.At this point, anyone still expecting any AGE MG should probably just move on. When it comes to release schedules, no news is bad news. I personally doubt Bandai's going to lose money by not releasing the remaining AGE kits.
b. You already said it, Bandai is now working on the next RG. The only time they will make an announcement about the RG after that is when the Z'Gok has been released. Why did you think that the RG 00 Raiser is coming? They never hint at future RGs before the next kit is released.
c. Simple answer: either they don't have them in the works, or they're pushing the currently announced kits. the Hi-Nu Gundam ver Ka and the RE/100 Nightingale are major releases, that and the fact that the next tv series is set in the UC (which may mean that the following months might have UC kits instead of other timelines). SEED and SEED Destiny just had a major push during the run of their remastered series, and Gundam Wing isn't exactly a factor nowadays besides Frozen Teardrop and Glory of Losers. Not saying they won't, but for now, I don't see why they would.
Re: Shizuoka Hobby Show
The show itself isn't a Gundam show. There are hosts of other series, kits and figures showcased during the event. A company like Bandai would only have limited space and time to showcase everything. This is just the first of several events. If you want to see the things on your list, then I suggest you be patient and wait for it to be actually shown.
What took you so much time to give us another wishlist which I agree!?

ReplyDeleteRE 1/100 Nightingale
ReplyDeleteI cant wait MK3 and GP04, I am seriously looking forward from this line. Maybe suit from Advance zeta, Dendrobium and another complicated suit.
My biggest gripe about this, and it's miniscule, is the rifle. No redesign? Wish it was like the resin kit one. Or styled along those lines.
