    My thoughts on Bandai's showcasing... Metal Structure – is it me or is the turnaround on these things faster than new Perfect Grade releases? Bandai hobby division is really slacking off these days... Nice to see the Impulse Gundam although not enthused that it looks like it will be a bare bones release, meaning we are in for at least 10+ years of the MB line being bloated with various different Impulses, packs, tampo variants, reissues etc. Maybe retail, most probably P-Bandai and irritatingly store event exclusive release. Lancelot Albion looks great, I noticed Bandai hasn't advertised any opening cockpit gimmick on this one. Probably didn't want to catch flak for not providing a pilot figure again. Looks like the basic MB Astrays will all be standardised with new the newer armour sculpt first introduced with Astray Red Dragonics. The Blue Frame also seems to be getting a different head unit. A bit frustrating for me as I just recently went out of my way to pick up Red and Blue. Pass on Green Frame, but I'll probably try and get the Mirage. Surprised there is no showing of a MB Astray Noir.

    For those that are curious about Bandai's HG Scopedog. Edit: Here is another one with a comparison to the Wave kit. I find Wave's version to be better, the HG just overall feels too basic.

    Here is a comparison from schizophonic with the MG Gundam Ver. 3.0, the PG should be around 30 cm in height. http://schizophonic9.com/re7/pg_gundam1.html http://schizophonic9.com/re7/pg_gundam2.html

    Essentially it is Ramaba Ral's Gouf that can be tweaked to look somewhat like the custom, but is not really a proper MS-07B-3. For example the wired grappling hook instead of the whip for the right arm is missing, paint scheme is obviously different and the torso doesn't have the correct sculpting (side plating around the cockpit hatch). Which raises the question, will Bandai actually bother to make a dedicated GFFMC Gouf Custom and if so, is it doomed to be P-Bandai only?

    Indeed, I find it works quite well and the badass proportions of the PG Unleashed is doing its part in selling it. Actually thinking about this further, it is a bit surprising that this F1 partnership hasn't been a thing much earlier. Like once a year one F1 team from past or present is picked out and put on a selected Gunpla, maybe scale it down exclusively to MG, it could make for a neat sub-collection.

    Glad Paul Rudd is part of the cast again. Enjoyed the last one, so looking forward to this sequel.

    After so many years... it will finally make its appearance – Metal Build Dragon Scale Lancelot Albion. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2136743/ Maybe this time we can get a Suzaku pilot figure with the Knightmare Frame and not just an empty cockpit.

    F1 team Alpha Tauri are teaming up with Bandai and putting their livery on the PG Unleashed Gundam. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/746961

    Mobile game Iron-Blooded Orphans – Urdr-Hunt is now getting a full animation treatment. https://gundamnews.org/undam-iron-blooded-orphans-urdr-hunt-animated-video-project https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2136529/ Never played the game, but I can only hope the characters and story are more appealing than the main series or at least season two.

    Some product sample images of the MG Narrative have been shared. According to auto-translation, Katoki seems to have placed emphasis on the psycho frame and core block system. https://hjweb.jp/article/1221840/ Thinking about it the Rx-9 would actually recommend itself for a MSV with a refined full exterior armour.

    Ahh... the AGE-FX... an otherwise good design if it weren't for those pointlessly big mudflaps on the rear lower legs.

    Apparently designed by T-Rex team, but I'm not quite convinced with the proportions and sculpt. Looks very toyetic compared to their usual offerings and that price of 98k Yen is just crazy.

    Voltron from the Netflix series is getting the RIOBOT treatment. There will also an exclusive variant with wing parts for the black lion. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/746223 https://www.taghobby.com/archives/746188 Edit: More pictures where posted in the Voltron thread earlier.

    Schizophonic review of Max's YF-29. Bandai seems to have done a couple of tweaks to the parts for better colour separation. http://schizophonic9.com/re8/hg_yf29max.html
