RG Banshee regular and RG Phenex sort of half confirmed by the announcement of the Gundam UC Blu-Ray boxset, the first pressing off which includes a bizarre amalgamation of all 3 Unicorns in Real Grade.

I know it likely won’t happen, but that’s a slick looking color scheme (white contrasted with like 4! shades of blue!) and I’d totally buy that RG separately.

Wrong.

I mean, yes, it is those colors but that's not what it's meant to be. It's the Full Armor Unicorn Plan B, from the Gundam Tri Age game.



The design's been around for a while, I even documented my own custom build of it in here in early 2015.

Also how are people only learning about the Unicorn UC abbreviation now? It's been that way since the novels. :psyduck:

But it's been part and parcel of the marketing machine since then, and front and center for however many years it took to finally get all the OVAs out.

Hell, take the cover for the first OVA for example.

Oh my no, P-Bandai has absolutely no qualms about carting out ancient MGs and HGs with a few new parts.

Still, the yaoi-hands Qubeley looks kind of cool. It reminds me of the original Mamoru Nagano concept art, and I apparently wasn’t the only one:

TBH I can see it being the 00 Seven Sword, Bandai seems to like to pace out new PG molds as much as the can. With the 007 they can just reuse like what, 90% of the mold?

PG Nu makes sense for the anniversary and it's the #1 most popular suit in Japan. But I totally believe Bandai would go for the easy thing and just do another boring 00 variant.

I assumed that the Nu would be RG #30? Would bandai do a pg and rg of the same kit in a year? I've noticed how they stagger out kits amongst the grades and making both of these in a year would be kinda weird, besides why make a new frame when i assume they haven't even finished beating the Astray or Unicorn horses fully

I just want an upgraded grandpa PG made in this century :negative:

RG #30 is the FA Unicorn, I'd bet on the RG Nu being announced at the end of October/beginning of November and it'll be the big RG release for December.

I can actually justify purchasing more gunpla despite my backlog, because the prices on these kits nowadays are crazy. I'd love a jehuty and anubis on my shelf.

Also a pg nu would loving own and I'd love to get it. Still happy to get a regular influx of pg's though. I thought the line was dead before the unicorn came out.

Re: Mystery PG

The source I read lists the sale price as 24,480 yen.

00 Raiser is listed at 27,000, so assuming no Raiser is included Seven Sword could make sense but it's too cheap otherwise.

Unicorn is 21,600 and Banshee is 23,760, so the price point makes sense for an unplated Phenex NT and NT comes out in November so the timing at least makes sense. (Regular Phenex PG with gold coating is 43,200 :eyepop:)

A lot of the Japanese commentary has their money on a Nu too though. It's the CCA anniversary, the movie got a 4K remaster and there's lots of CCA hype happening at the Gundam Base so it makes sense in the timing. Also we haven't got an RG Nu announcement yet so they may have passed it over for a PG release.

All just rampant tinfoil hatting though. :v:

The December releases aren't usually for recolors though, the're usually some crazy big MG or a new PG.

The banshee was a recolor and it released in September. I don't think they're going to be doing the Phenex.

Hey, does Bandai ever leak the limited edition gunpla they plan on selling at the major cons? I have a friend going to PAX West and I might want to bribe him but I want to make it easy.

Personally I'm hoping for a particular Gunpla stall to turn up at the Melbourne Anime Festival this year. They were present a few years back (they operate a store based in Brisbane), and had about a dozen of the super-limited-edition event-only kits. That's kit types, not total. They weren't present last year, and I really hope they come back :pray:.
