Barbatos is my friend. Always appreciate a robot that just swings heavy objects around.

I love how people made grumpy "of course he'll use a katana" quotes for IBO, then when Mikazuki used it... he didn't like it at all and returned to using gigantic blunt objects at first opportunity.

When the last remaining weapon for Barbatos was a new katana, he just walked over to the repair equipment to grab a giant chainsaw instead.

Imagine if he'd grabbed a Shot lancer. Totally changes the series, top five in the franchise for sure.

Interesting to have Barbatos as one of the big three there. The most popular version only made 18th in the big Gundam poll a couple years back, but it does seem to move kit pretty well.

It may not be popular, but Bandai makes kits of it left and right.

Well, "only" made 18th. Out of every single MS design in Gundam history.

Bandai doesn't keep making kits of things that don't sell. You can see that with AGE MGs getting cancelled.

Seems Barbatos is pretty popular.

The mg barbatos sold like gangbusters when it was first released. This happened before the big COVID gunpla boom as well. There was multiple printings of the kit in a short period of time.

Honestly more suprised they haven't released the mg lupus or the rex yet, but I think Bandai is working on increasing their production capabilities then making new kits right now.

The 1/100 Graze Kai is a decent stopgap, at least. I'd love a MG Graze too (and a Graze Kai, and a Ryusei Go, and a Schwalbe Graze, and a Graze Ritter...) but I can see why Bandai doesn't want the overlap, especially with more limited MG production.

What I want most, though, is the Vidar. ...And the Reginlaze Julia. And a Spinner Rodi.

The Ritter and the Vidar would both look so good with an Alt Color Scheme

Sadly, the mg could be this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/vhv4n3/master_grade_sd_announced_by_bandai_more_details/

Technically not announced yet even if titled as such. Just that bandai registered it. Similar to how they registered mgex and rg before it was announced.

That would own. Some of the Sangoku SDs are some of the best Gundam designs ever.

That would be a very odd match for the Ver Ka announcement. Ver Ka tends to be high end kits. High price, high detail, for the biggest mechanical design nerds.

SD, meanwhile, is lower detail, low price, and focuses more on being cute or interesting than semi-realistic moving parts.

Even without how awkward the basic concept seems (the SD CS line was already inner frame high detail SD kits, and that got canned) I don't think this is the logical spot to reveal it.

It was never promised. The preview display it appeared on was a fakeout to build some hype for the RE Efreet Kai. Nothing else shown there ever made it into the line.

I don’t know if RE/100 is officially dead or not, but given the lack of new releases and reissues it might as well be.

I honestly don't know the difference between the RE100 and Full Mechanics lines, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

Zedd

Having Build both they are very similar but the difference is that RE1/100 are more like super deluxe HG's (no real inner frame) whereas Full Mechanics are a downscaled MG (does have a basicInner frame).

That said they are p much the same thing under slightly different priorities.

In the last two years there’s been one new RE and two minor variants, none of which got a retail release. None of the existing retail kits have been reissued in over a year. The last one of those came out three years ago.

RE/100 may not be officially dead, but it’s not looking particularly alive, either.

They've done it before with a new line to build hype, show a bunch of potential releases but not say they're actually confirmed.
