Reminds me of the posters for astronauts that were in every classroom back in the 80’s

Looks like someone sat on yours. 
I have both versions of the web exclusives from a couple years back and I’m glad they come with an open left hand, so you don’t get stuck with a giant self love hand there. Just wish they came with decals. The Bandai ones are kind of a ripoff since they only have enough emblems for one and filled up the sheet with generic warnings that are already in abundance in other sets.

Looks like Bandai is adding another one of the little guys to their hg kits

How is this different from the FAZZ?

[anime52k8]

different head, twin beam rifle barrels, the hyper beam sabers on the backpack, and the colors.  I think that's about all.

Probably a bunch of little things and a butt ton of decals and probably some opening hatches and such

It’s on the U.S. store over here, but not even sure how things are gonna go with all the tariff drama. You could try Amazon jp, they usually have em. I haven’t kept up with all the sites that deal in web exclusives these days though

Thanks for the tip, i have been searching amazon jp for hours in the last couple of days but i wasn't able to find it. Maybe i am making some mistakes with the words i am using for the research but at this point i think it would be more likely to find it available after its release, in november. It's a real bummer though.

Check the Macross toy sections like the ones for Bandai products like the dx toys. There are often Bandai exclusives and many of the users post where they shop and those sites will often have the kits as well

I found a preorder here: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/gundam/195711-re100-1100-mobile-suit-gundam-f91-xm-02-den-an-ge-limited-edition-bandai-spirits-.html

I never used this store but others had positive experiences with it I believe.

I usually bought my Gunpla from HLJ. They usually have all the non exclusive kits.

If you have never bought from Japan before aware that you have to pay 20% customs fres/VAT on top when you import the item from a non EU country if the total order (including shipping costs) is over €100 (this might vary from country to county.

On top, the local carrier usually has a service fee to import the item for you (filling out the customs paperwork). For me that is usually around €7 for DHL.

Plus shipping from Japan can get expensive too when you buy from smaller stores (i.e. not Amazon Japan).

I would buy them from there, but almost all the kits I’ve wanted end up web exclusive. The only standard one I’ve wanted recently that I preordered got oversold and now I’m on the waiting list for the next batch of Gallus j’s. Other than that, I can’t really think of a standard release gundam kit that I was excited for in the last couple years

Thanks, i checked nin-nin but the pre-order seems to be already sold out or not available yet(!?!). Not quite sure whether it will ever become available at this point...and thanks for the other tips but i buy regularly from japan. The problem is that with Gunpla kits, especially limited ones are almost impossible to buy from japan resellers if you live in europe. Thanks again anywyway for your seuggestions.

I saw these in tag hobby a couple days ago and I kinda thought they were just fixed pose figures with a slight option change here and there like the head or weapons. I didn’t know it was a kit. Still looks fixed pose, but cool looking. I would love to have this design as an hg kit though
