It's yet another RX-78, idgaf anymore. There are plenty of other subjects they could do before spending the effort on Gundam and Zaku yet again.

I'm honestly okay with this one, and might get it myself, because what should be the poster child for the Real Grade line... isn't. Giving it a redo with modern RG engineering is a good idea

RG's one of Bandai's main lines, and the Grandpa in that line is a fiddly piece of junk. It makes sense to update it, especially since most of the other most popular suits are already released. Looking at the top 10 from the big poll, only the Shiki, F91 and Quebeley are unrepresented. Top 25, you add in the Stamen, the Gouf Custom, the Kampfer, Rex, the Gouf, the Turn A, and the Kshatriya, but it's still a majority covered already, and some of the ones unmade (like the Kshatriya) would be an engineering nightmare.

(Lessee, still missing lead suits:

I agree that RG01 shows its age and anything from that era would likely benefit from a refresh, but the list of other subjects that haven't seen a release yet is kind of my point.

Oh Bandai, you cheeky little fuckers :allears:. The Gunpla Options Line has gotten a bunch of new packs announced and.... they're just reprints! Bandai's rolling a whole bunch of prior IBO and HGBF part sets into the line to consolidate them, and I'm sincerely all for it. They're mostly great part sets on their own merits, and all sorely in need of reprints.

I can personally recommend the Giant Gatling Gun as being both great and indeed Giant.


Also all the new Gunpla are up on HLJ for preorder, so get your orders in before they're gone!

I am worried how weapons like the Laser Lance, chainsaw or pilebunker will affect the arms on the 30MM kits because they attach to the side of the forearm and tend to be gigantic.
