Probably the only chance it has really got, though I've heard nothing that makes the movie sound like a for-sure done deal yet.

e: fresh rumor based on a throwaway comment by Mikazuki Augus' VA is that IBO is getting some sort of movie treatment too, so there's your MG maybe.

e2: i have no idea why Bandai/Sunrise would want to double dip some movies based on shows that utterly poo poo the bed ratings-wise, but maybe that's why I don't make the big bucks.

I thought IBO had good ratings. Not zaku amazing but still good. On the other hand I got nothing to explain G reco and any continuation via film or tv.

First kit talk: I started in middle School with the first Mg Mk2. It I got before the titans or G-defender kits were even released. Used nail clippers and an old box cutter that was dull from years of use without replacement of the blade. I remember seeing the yellow vents for the shoulders and not knowing where they went so I tossed them only to realize my mistake a week later, after the trash had been collected. It also took me like 7+ before I figured out master grade and high grade meant more than just kit size.

Someone with more knowledge should chime in here, but all I've heard is that IBO's ratings sucked rocks for both seasons, especially among the younger demographic which the powers-that-be are constantly chasing, and that the US airing bombed out even harder. But the kit line apparently sold pretty well, so what the hell, keep that poo poo rolling as long as possible:

They should make the armor easily removable and sell booster packs for the backpacks so you can keep colors consistent.

Ehh, the Assault Pack is the only one that only changes a bit of the armor color, and there's no way in hell they'll make a MG Assault Pack. The Tricky and Reflect Packs completely change the color all over the suit, so at that point there's no reason not to also throw in the internal skeleton so it's a functioning kit. The Perfect Pack and High Torque pack don't change the color of the armor at all, but I don't exactly have high hopes for either of those getting kits.

I'd be happy with a regular release of the G-Self with Atmosphere Pack and a P-Bandai Space Pack release, I don't think anything more is very likely

good night, speedfriend

New release news.

Notably, confirmation and first look at the RG unicorn. And of course, right after I finally buy the aging kit, a new Casval's Gundam MG based on the 3.0. Ah, and a new HG Blue Destiny.

Yes it does, because character marketing is a thing. Turning that out and having it not be Sekai's would just confuse the consumer base.

Beside, if it was Sei's, it'd be built to resemble the Star Build Strike.

At least it actually looks like a customized Gunpla kit, instead of "OG Gundam, Do Not Steal" like half the Try Fighters line.

Rifle and shield doesn't look like Sekai's vibe. A red colour scheme and Plavsky Particle fuckery makes me think Reiji's going to be dropping by.

Scroll up and check the poster; Sekai's not coming anywhere near this OVA, thank gently caress. Looks like it's an interquel between the two series.

Finishing up lining and decaling and HG Atlas. The Thunderbolt/Origin kits are so nice compared to the IBO kits. It's also nice having an HG that doesnt have any poly caps

I'm pretty sure that's new. Unlike the sinanju they can reuse the frame so it makes sense that'd they make a new mold for it.

the zaku looks good but that's a pretty noticeable seam line on the arm.

Edit speaking of seam lines, by girlfriend was doing the pink zaku warrior hg and my god have hg's improved these past 13 years.

I wish more HG Zakus would use the F2's style of forearms, where the seam line blends into the split between the front and back plate rather than a side by side plate.
