This one was up for preorder a couple weeks ago and I believe is still available at the p Bandai U.S. store. I’m hoping they get around to the custom version with the sniper rifle. I personally ordered two since I like the Aoz reboot version better than the original, but I kinda want to do a different color with it and see if on the second one if I can fit a normal hg hi zack head to give it the more derpy look from the movie rather than the mean look that this one has

Just checked and it’s still available for $32. And comes out February

you wouldn't download a gunpla would you? Looks like Bandai did a booboo and didn't encrypt the gunpla 3d/CAD files of their metaverse game (I believe it's patched now). So those files are now public and can be used to 3d print gunplas:

Some people have already shown off finished prints of the new master grade kit that hasn’t even really been announced yet.

I doubt that it's economically reasonable to print a kit that you can just buy from a store.

I think these people are doing it as more of a show off kinda thing

Nope, but being able to replace or print modified versions of parts is quite nice.

[Hikuro]

I agree for the most part, if there were parts I could, I'd print. I've got 4 printers at home constantly doing stuff, and once in a blue moon I'll take a peak online to see what's out there gunpla wise though it's not much.

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.

Thinking about it the Rx-9 would actually recommend itself for a MSV with a refined full exterior armour.

I might get that titans color Gaplant. Looks like it’s got some new hands

Would have been nice to see an update to the HG Gaplant that has the seam lines removed.

Would have been nice to see an MG Gaplant of any kind, rather than another little HG variant. 😐

The gaplant would probably still have seam lines in a newer kit. There’s only a few spots they might fix, but at least the ones that are there are on flat pieces and pretty easy to fill

I kinda thought a few years back that there would have been an RE kit. Nowadays don’t expect much more than another boring gundam in the mg line or a slight variation of a cool non gundam design in the webshop. I can’t even remember the last time there was an interesting standard mg kit.

In fairness, that scheme looks rad.

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.

How tall is the PG versus MG's?  I've found I tend towards non-cannon schemes (I actually have zero traditional Red/Blue/Gold Rx's) and this PG here does appeal to me a lot.

[lechuck]

Here is a comparison from schizophonic with the MG Gundam Ver. 3.0, the PG should be around 30 cm in height.

Thanks for the links.  

I know the PG Unleashed is a marvel on its own but I still find the original simplistic PG cooler. If there's only a PG version of the MG OYW version that would be awesome.  

[Big s]

Another web exclusive that I want. Bandai just can’t give a standard release for me any morehope they do some of the other variants 

[Big s]

Found some more pictures at tag hobbyit looks cool without the armor, so I might get two if the price isn’t ridiculous 

[anubis20]

Some pics of my recently completed MG Stombringer FA. FM Forbidden was completed a few weeks ago but have I have not had time to take pics. 

I really love how the Stormbringer looks! The Impulse-ish head is just chef kiss, makes the kit look mean AF, and the Full Armor cosplay colors are fantastic. However the kit is riddled with seam lines so it does need a little bit of work. There are also a ton of masking opportunities to add some details. In conclusion I think this is the happiest I have been after finishing a build.
