MG GN-X coming in January 2010 at 3,780 Yen (inclusive of tax).

MG development design will be based on Kanetake Ebikawa's (海老川兼武) mechanical design.


This one I is gei-ren-ti must buy!! XD

Another huge announcement in this month's issue of Hobby Japan, in this case, literally huge - 1/48 scale Gundam RX-78-2.


37.5cm tall, and it's a Gunpla! Confirmed to be released - release date & price TBA.

An isolated release? Or a whole series coming up? ^^; Either way, Bandai seems to be taking up some serious moves to kick out Gundam resin kit companies outside Japan. Formania Nu Gundam was the first move, now this one. ^^;
